Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the age of revolutions, at the end of the eighteenth century, the mental and spiritual life of North America and Europe began to undergo an historic and irreversible change. The ideas of spontaneity, direct expression and natural feeling transformed the arts, encouraging artists to explore the extremes in human nature, from heroism to insanity and despair. Widely praised on first publication and now revised, William Vaughans classic study analyses the achievement of the leading artists of the day masters such as Goya, Blake, Gericault, Turner and Delacroix and sets in context a host of fascinating figures in painting, sculpture and architecture: Palmer, Runge, Soane, Gros, Overbeck, Schinkel, Flaxman, Pugin, Bingham and many more. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Throughout his life Salvador Dali produced a body of work both revolutionary and visionary. From the Purism of the 1920s to the great mystical paintings of the 1950s this volume takes us on a journey through the life and career of an artist who turned paranoia into a way of life. His anarchic visions foreshadowed many preoccupations of art in the late twentieth century, not only in the realm of painting but also in the fields of cinema, architecture and installation art.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Why Your 5 Year Old Could Not Have Done That is Susie Hodges passionate and persuasive argument against the most common disparaging remark levelled at modern art. In this enjoyable and thought-provoking book, she examines 100 works of modern art that have attracted critical and public hostility from Cy Twomblys scribbled Olympia (1957), Jean-Michel Basquiats crude but spontaneous LNAPRK (1982), to the apparently careless mess of Tracey Emins My Bed (1998) and explains how, far from being negligible novelties, they are inspired and logical extensions of the ideas of their time. She explains how such notorious works as Carl Andres Equivalent VIII (1966) the infamous bricks occupy unique niches in the history of ideas, both showing influences of past artists and themselves influencing subsequent artists. With illustrations of works from Hans Arp to Adolf Wolfli, Hodge places each work in its cultural context to present an unforgettable vision of modern art. This book will give you an understanding of the ways in which modern art differs from the realistic works of earlier centuries, transforming as well as informing your gallery visits for years to come. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Presenting a study of the civilizations which ruled the Andean regions before the arrival of the Spanish, this book describes how the diversity of the Andean landscape has stamped a special character on its mysterious cities, which followed sacred geometry and were places for religious worship. The most extensive empire of pre-Colombian America was toppled in under a decade by a handful of Spanish invaders who looted the fabled riches of its great city, Cuzco, and severed its 15,000-mile system of roads. But the Inka empire was only the final link in a chain of urban development stretching back to 2500BC. What went before? Who created Machu Picchu, Ollantaytanbo and Huaca del Sol? The authors describe how the diversity of the Andean lanscape has stamped a special character on its mysterious cities, which followed sacred geometry and were places for religious worship. The people tried to control the extremes of nature they saw around them in mountains, jungle and desert with ceremony, ritual and blood offerings to the gods. Gradually, religious centres evolved into the powerful empires of later years. Vignettes of the lives of individuals - the leader of a llama caravan (the truck-driver of Chavin times), a delivery boy in the Chimu city of Chan Chan and an Inka sacrificial victim among them - supplement the archaeological narrative. This should be a useful book for travellers to the Andes, students and anyone who wants to learn more about ancient South America. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Here is a quirky look at one hundred of New York's offbeat shops and shop windows. The businesses featured range from such Manhattan mainstays as Macy's and Katz's Delicatessen to the idiosyncratic, including the 99' store on East 14th Street, or Dr Rico Perez's drugstore in the Bronx. At a time when much of New York is succumbing to the uniformity of the mall and the ubiquity of the chainstore, this book is a precious record of the shops that are bucking the trend.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Abandoned unfinished and left to rot on Venices Grand Canal, il palazzo non finito was once an unloved guest among the aristocrats of Venetian architecture. Yet in the 20th century it played host to three passionate and unconventional women who would take the city by storm. The staggeringly wealthy Marchesa Luisa Casati made her new home a belle epoque aesthetes fantasy and herself a living work of art; notorious British socialite Doris Castlerosse (nee Delevingne) welcomed film stars and royalty to glittering parties between the wars; and American heiress Peggy Guggenheim amassed an exquisite collection of modern art, which today draws visitors from around the world. Each in turn used the Unfinished Palazzo as a stage on which to re-fashion her life, with a dazzling supporting cast ranging from DAnnunzio and Nijinsky, through Noel Coward, Winston Churchill and Cecil Beaton, to Yoko Ono. Individually sensational and collectively remarkable, these stories of modern Venice tell us much about the ways women chose to live in the 20th century.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book, with contributions by 16 eminent scholars, traces the history and development of the mosque since its origins in Medina in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, explaining its traditional religious and teaching role in Muslim society, as well as its architectural and decorative features. The historical development of the mosque and its architecture is presented region by region, from North Africa to Southeast Asia, taking into account local building materials, climatic factors, and craft skills, as well as the cultural influences and major political developments, such as the rise of the Ottoman and Mughal Empires. The physical form of the mosque is analysed and fully illustrated with plans and photographs; its modern role as a religious and social institution is reviewed; and contemporary mosques worldwide are discussed in a separate chapter, encompassing not only those built by leading Muslim architects, but also those designed by Western architects. Illustrated with much unfamiliar pictorial material drawn from a wide range of sources, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of the architecture of the mosque, and also serves as a guide to an understanding of its role in Muslim society and culture. Martin Frishman is an architect and a lecturer at University College, London. Hasan-Uddin Khan is an architect, writer and former Director of Special Projects and Public Education at the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Geneva. Both are specialists in Islamic Architecture.
