With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, and sculpture to ceramics.This best-selling reference work is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv\/Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin, the world’s largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Some 575 illustrations including architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a “total” work of art.This is a defining account of Bauhaus' energy and rigor, not only as a trailblazing movement in Modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. The handy edition features artists Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and many more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40823007379605,"sku":"9783836572828","price":109.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1574\/5417\/products\/bauhaus_fp_all_edition_3d_43440_2004280859_id_1231539.png?v=1752512533"},{"product_id":"haring-1","title":"Haring - Taschen Series","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the key figures in the New York art world of the 1980s, Keith Haring (1958–1990) created a signature style that blended street art, graffiti, a Pop sensibility, and cartoon elements to unique, memorable effect. With thick black outlines, bright colors, and kinetic figures, his public (and occasionally illegal) interventions, sculptures, and works on canvas and paper have become instantly recognizable icons of 20th-century visual culture.From his first chalk drawings in the New York City subway stations, to his renowned “Radiant Baby” symbol, and his commissions for Swatch Watch and Absolut Vodka, Haring’s work was both emblematic of the manic work ethic of 1980s New York, yet distinctive for its social awareness. Belying their bright, playful aesthetics, his pieces often tackled intensely controversial socio-political issues, including racism, capitalism, religious fundamentalism, and the increasing impact of AIDS on New York’s gay community, the latter foreshadowing his own death from the disease in 1990.In this vivid introduction to Haring’s work, we explore the dynamic life and innovative spirit of this singular artist, who spent little more than a decade in the spotlight, but through the accessibility of his visual vocabulary and the strength of his political commitment became one of the most significant artists to emerge from New York’s vibrant, downtown community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40823009149077,"sku":"9783836530491","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1574\/5417\/products\/image_416a17c2-b4b6-443a-b745-685097579d10.jpg?v=1752512532"},{"product_id":"matisse-1","title":"Matisse - Taschen Series","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe work of Henri Matisse (1869–1954) reflects an ongoing belief in the power of brilliant colors and simple forms.

This monograph gathers all of Klimt’s major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged access to the artist’s archive.With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase” when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold.Through luminous spreads and carefully curated details, the monograph traces the repertoire of Japanese, Byzantine, and allegorical stimuli that informed Klimt’s flattened perspectives, his symbolic vocabulary, and his mosaic-like textures. Drawing upon contemporary critics and voices, the book also examines the art world’s polarized reception to Klimt’s pictures as much as his own stylistic trajectory. From his landscape painting to erotic works to the controversial ceiling for the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, we see how Klimt’s admixture of tradition and daring divided the press and public—becried by some as a pornographer, hailed by others as a modern maestro.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46685672636641,"sku":"9783836566612","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1574\/5417\/files\/gustav-klimt-the-complete-paintings-large.png?v=1753020622"},{"product_id":"issey-miyake","title":"Issey Miyake","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1983, Japanese designer Issey Miyake told \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe New Yorker\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat he aspired “to forge ahead, to break the mold.” With the boundary-defying fashion lines that followed, he not only broke molds, but recast clothing altogether.

Other advertisers devised clever and subliminal approaches to selling their wares, as the wildly successful Absolut campaign confirmed. Even doctors contributed to a perverse version of propaganda, testifying that smoking could calm your nerves and soothe your throat, while hailing liquor as an elixir capable of bringing social success.Whether you savor these visual delights, or enjoy inhaling and wallowing in forbidden pleasures, you will certainly be thrilled by this exploration of a decidedly vibrant—and sometimes controversial—chapter of advertising history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47690517315809,"sku":"9783836593717","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1574\/5417\/files\/20th-century-alcohol-tobacco-ads-book-taschen.png?v=1765643632"},{"product_id":"1000-pin-up-girls","title":"1000 Pin-Up Girls","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Girls, Gags \u0026amp; Giggles,” ran publisher Robert Harrison’s recipe for dishing up pin-up to the American male.

Sun-kissed, charming, and sensual, his work shows painting at its most lighthearted and luminous, while championing the plein air and color innovations of his time.Renoir’s oeuvre was prolific, with some several thousand works in his lifetime. Much influenced by forerunners such as Courbet, Degas, Manet, Delacroix, he worked with contemporary peers such as Monet to explore fresh uses of color and brushwork, rendering texture and depth with different-hued daubs. Drawn to intimate and tender human scenes, his subjects include lovers, mothers, and numerous nudes.As his career progressed, Renoir investigated different styles and techniques, shifting away from the feathery Impressionist touch to a more robust, classical corporeality, sometimes called his “Ingres period,” and later to monumental pieces such as The Bathers. From the abundant output of his lengthy career, this essential artist introduction selects key Renoir works to explore his innovations in the art of painting, as much as his traditions in pursuit of beauty, harmony, and the female form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47690523574497,"sku":"9783836531092","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1574\/5417\/files\/renoir-white-taschen-book.png?v=1765644196"},{"product_id":"rembrandt","title":"Rembrandt","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eRembrandt van Rijn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1606–1669) never left his homeland of the Netherlands but in his massive body of painting, drawing, and etching, he \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003echanged the course of Western art\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Works such as Look, Mickey! (1961), Drowning Girl (1963), and Whaam! (1963) deployed mass production techniques, particularly Ben-Day dots printing, to create a blow-up effect and pixelated “dot” style, with which Lichtenstein has become synonymous.This book provides an essential overview of Lichtenstein’s career, tracing his earliest Pop statements through to later “brushstroke” retorts to Abstract Expressionism and reinterpretations of modern masterpieces.

His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in 1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.This richly illustrated introduction follows Vincent van Gogh’s story from his earliest pictures of peasants and rural workers, through his bright Parisian period, to his final, feverish burst of creative energy in the South of France during the last two and a half years of his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49147136377057,"sku":"9783836527361","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1574\/5417\/files\/van-gogh-white-taschen-book.png?v=1789661724"},{"product_id":"pollock","title":"Pollock - Taschen Series","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe rebel hero of Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) careened through his life like a firework across the American art landscape. Channeling ideas from sources as diverse as Picasso and Mexican surrealism, he rejected convention to develop his own way of seeing, interpreting, and expressing.Pollock’s most famous works are his drip paintings, where he dripped and poured household enamel paint over the canvas with a variety of instruments, from sticks to syringes, hardened brushes to broken bits of glass. The splattered results pulsate with energy, replacing the refinement of easel and brush with something altogether more immediate, vivid, and physical. To evade the viewer’s search for figurative elements in his paintings, Pollock abandoned titles and identified each work with a neutral number only.Notoriously reclusive and volatile, struggling with alcoholism, married to fellow Abstract Expressionist Lee Krasner, and killed in a car crash aged just 44, Pollock is as much a compelling celebrity icon as an artistic pioneer.
