Authoritative and beautifully produced, it is invaluable for anyone interested in the art and history of books, advertising and in theories of visual and verbal communication. The authors examine a wide range of design practices, from the history of punctuation, the origins of international pictograms and the structure of modern typography, to the role of design in mass communication, with essays on stock photography, illustration and advertising itself. The book concludes with a time-line spanning 200 years of design in the US, showing how modern graphic design emerged in response to the cultural, political and economic climate.The authors of this important book, now published for the first time in paperback, have revolutionized both the theoretical and practical aspects of design. Abbott Miller is the Director of Design\/Writing\/Research, an award-winning multidisciplinary design studio, and also sits on the board of the American Center for Design.

Her own new ways of thinking led her to take principled stands that have changed the way art museums consider contemporary art. As curator of painting and sculpture at the Whitney, she organized major exhibitions of the work of Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, and Richard Tuttle, among others.

It is also the rarest of Ming porcelain because so few of what must once have been a stupendous collection of wares made for Emperor Chenghua are known to have survived following Chenghua's death in 1487. Despite five centuries of clandestine treasure hunting by grave robbers and secretive collectors, no palpable cache of Chenghua porcelain appears to have come to light.  In writting this book, the author does not claim to have found the answer to the mystery of Emperor Chenghua's lost treasure. however, he is, in his opinion, privy to a private collection of some exceptional pieces of Chenghua porcelain. These pieces were embargoed from published here, together with a scholarly essay which, while acknowledging indebtedness to established authorities when traversing familiar ground, does not balk at expressing contrary opinions whenever justified. The result is an unprecedented work on Chenghua porcelain.  Whether a Chenghua expert or layperson, the reader will find Section II a feast for the eye while studying the various photographs and mulling over the delicacy of the potting and design, the quiet splendour of the luminous colours or the lustrous gleam of the ivory-toned or the smoky green glaze of the illustrated Chenghua porcelain.

On the centenary of his birth, this splendidly produced and designed book looks at every facet of his career, and traces the many strands of his lasting influence. Otl Aicher is most famously known for the pictographs he designed for the 1972 summer Olympic Games in Munich. Fifty years later, his system of iconography has become a universal language, directing people to bathrooms, through subways, around airports and hospitals. But Aicher’s achievements extended far beyond the world of graphic design. Filled with illustrations, photographs, documents and archival material, and enhanced by thoughtful and personal essays from leading critics, designers, and friends, this survey takes a disciplinary approach to explore Aicher’s role as one of the founding figures of visual communication. We learn about Aicher’s work developing corporate brands; how he created the Rotis typeface, then built architecture incorporating the font; how he collaborated with artists and architects such as Josef Albers, Alexander Kluge, and Norman Foster; and how his founding of the Ulm School of Design reflected his passion for teaching, and for an open, free, and democratic society. Aicher’s achievements are evident in nearly every public space on the globe and this definitive and timely reference work rightfully places Aicher among the pioneering geniuses of the past century.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 248 x 295\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Nerdinger | Winfried | Vossenkuhl | Wilhelm\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9783791379449\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46124536037529,"sku":"3RG9783791379449","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/697cdda3c4c16_Otl_Aicher_Design_1922-1991.jpg?v=1769792739"},{"product_id":"the-art-of-splatoon","title":"The Art of Splatoon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Art of Splatoon contient 320 pages d'incroyables illustrations 3D et 2D de vos personnages prfrs, des cartes, des concepts arts, les designs des armes et quipements, scnarios, croquis, bandes dessines... et bien plus encore.

For an artist like Frances Palmer, it’s knitting all of one’s passions—all of one’s creativity—into the whole of life. And what an inspiration it is. A renowned potter, an entrepreneur, a gardener, a photographer, a cook, a beekeeper, Palmer has over the course of three decades caught the attention not only of the countless people who collect and use her ceramics but also of designers and design lovers, writers, and fellow artists who marvel at her example. Now, in her first book, she finally tells her story, in her own words and images, distilling from her experiences lessons that will inspire a new generation of makers and entrepreneurs.Life in the Studio is as beautiful and unexpected as Palmer’s pottery, as breathtakingly colorful as her celebrated dahlias, as intimate as the dinners she hosts in her studio for friends and family. There are insights into making pots—the importance of centering, the discovery that clay has a memory.

Editor Will Steacy asked each photographer to abandon the conventional tools needed to make a photograph--camera, lens, film--and instead make a photograph using words, to capture the image (and its attendant memories) that never made it through the lens. In each essay, the photograph has been stripped down to its barest and most primitive form: the idea behind it. This collection provides a unique and original interpretation of the experience of photographing, and allows the reader into a world rarely seen: the image making process itself.

Passé notions that once defined drawing as being a preparatory stage for painting or sculpture have long since been cast aside. Drawing is now fully recognized as its own art form—in the biennials, art fairs, museum exhibitions, and beyond. Drawing has come of age.            Contemporary artists are increasingly discovering that drawing is something unique and different from painting. It is an intense, sensitive, compelling, personal, and utterly direct art form, one with its own concepts, characteristics, and techniques. In addition, contemporary drawing is not governed by any particular imagery, but rather encompasses a variety of approaches, including realist, abstract, modernist, and post-modernist.            Contemporary Drawing delves into the essential and far-reaching concepts of this medium, exploring surface, mark, space, composition, scale, materials, and intentionality in turn. Key techniques, such as using nature to induce marks and working with a checklist to determine a drawing’s problems, are introduced throughout. Plus, an in-depth chapter examines a number of artists, such as William Kentridge and Gego, who are breaking traditional boundaries that separate one artistic discipline from another.Lushly illustrated by a wide range of highly accomplished contemporary artists, Contemporary Drawing offers a broad perspective on this expansive and energized field of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 239 x 287\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Margaret Davidson\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780823033157\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 192\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190606647449,"sku":"16RA-4-9780823033157","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/699c32ed4989c_Contemporary_Drawing_Key_Concepts_and_Techniques.jpg?v=1771851545"},{"product_id":"ugo-rondinone-new-horizon","title":"Ugo Rondinone New Horizon","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1964, New York-based Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone is one of the leading voices in the contemporary visual arts. Using photography, video, painting, drawing, sculpture, sound, and text in turn, he is a virtuoso of forms and techniques. Rondinone particularly enjoys destabilizing the viewers? perceptions and unsettling their certainties by developing surprising sensorial environments. Rearranging content and formal elements through a personal poetic filter while drawing directly on the outside world, he envelops the audience in a synesthetic experience. 0The artist has developed very precise and repetitive series?clown sculptures and videos, target acrylic paintings on linen, rubber masks, aluminum face sculptures, oversized wax lightbulbs, striped paintings on polyester, stone sculptures, landscape ink painting, bronze still-life objects, video and sound installations?through which he explores themes of fantasy and desire, branching out in literature and poetry, contemporary cinema, and the visual arts. 0A new series of three publications extensively documents three of his most renowned series: the Landscapes paintings, the Stripe paintings, and the Target paintings. In the second volume dedicated to the Stripe paintings (1999?2011), artist and writer Phong Bui retraces the genealogy of stripe paintings from Barnett Newman to Rondinone, while art critic Bob Nickas thoroughly examines the making and meaning of painting in his work. He states:?While it is true that Rondinone has followed many paths over time, he has found ways for them to converge and align, to overlay abstraction and representation, reality and the unreal, artifice and the sublime. It has never been possible to predict where he will venture next with the products of his mind, and it remains so, as these stripe paintings metaphorically suggest: a sustained event-horizon or point of no return, where one can never apprehend the end of the line.?\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 244 x 315\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Phong Bui | Robert Nickas\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9783037645062\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 229\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190607728793,"sku":"16RA-4-9783037645062","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/699c35782d315_Ugo_Rondinone_New_Horizon.jpg?v=1771851591"},{"product_id":"alkeme-the-art-of-brad-kunkle","title":"Alkeme The Art of Brad Kunkle","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter selling out his debut solo exhibition in New York City on opening night in 2010, Brad Kunkle has become internationally known for his unique use of gold and silver leaf in contemporary oil painting.

The Business of Being an Artist, now in its sixth edition, contains information on how artists may develop a presence in the art world that leads to sales. The book contains information on how artists can learn to sell their work directly to the public with an understanding of the principles of marketing and sales as they're applicable to works of art. Artists will also learn how to find a suitable gallery that will arrange sales and commissions and how to set up a contractual relationship with the dealer that is both equitable and profitable.Among the topics covered in The Business of Being an Artist are: the range of exhibition opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists; how to set prices for artwork; when or if artists should pay to advance their careers; how artists may communicate with the public; applying for loans, grants, and fellowships; areas of the law that concern artists; using art materials safely; online sales and marketing, and much more. In addition to all of this priceless information, The Business of Being an Artist includes a unique discussion of some of the emotional issues that face artists throughout their careers, such as working alone, confronting stereotypes, handling criticisms and rejection, the glare of publicity, and the absence of attention.

Through her work, she brought visibility to the hardships of the working class and asserted the female point of view as a necessary and powerful agent for change.Published in conjunction with the largest exhibition of her work in the United States in more than 30 years, and the first major retrospective devoted to Kollwitz at a New York museum, this book surveys the artist's career from the 1890s through the early 1940s. It features approximately 120 drawings, prints and sculptures drawn from public and private collections in Europe and North America. Examples of the artist's most iconic projects showcase her political engagement, while rarely seen studies and working proofs highlight her intensive, ever-searching creative process. Essays explore crucial aspects of Kollwitz's art, career and legacy, including her professional life and connections in Berlin, her groundbreaking approach to the subject of women's grief and her work's reception among artists in the US.Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was born in the Prussian city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia). One of history's most outstanding graphic artists, she was widely recognized for her art of social advocacy and compassion and was one of the few women artists of the early 20th century to achieve international renown in her own lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 153 x 296\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Starr Figura\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781633451612\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 247\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46194241044633,"sku":"Table-C-19781633451612","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/699592df64a46_K_C3_A4the_Kollwitz_A_Retrospective.png?v=1771940283"},{"product_id":"the-grain-of-the-clay-reflections-on-ceramics-and-the-art-of-collecting","title":"The Grain of the Clay Reflections on Ceramics and the Art of Collecting","description":"\u003cp\u003eCeramics give pleasure to our everyday lives, from the beauty of a vase’s elegant curves to the joy of a meal served upon a fine platter. Ceramics originate in a direct engagement with the earth and maintain a unique place in the history of the arts. In this book, Allen S. Weiss sharpens our perception of and increases our appreciation for ceramics, all the while providing a critical examination of how and why we collect them. Weiss examines the vast stylistic range of ceramics and investigates both the theoretical and personal reasons for viewing, using, and collecting them. Relating ceramics to other arts and practices—especially those surrounding food—he explores their different uses such as in the celebrated tea ceremony of Japan. Most notably, he considers how works previously viewed as crafts have found their rightful way into museums, as well as how this new-found engagement with finely wrought natural materials may foster an increased ecological sensitivity. The result is a wide-ranging and sensitive look at a crucial part of our material culture.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 140 x 216\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Allen S.

Recently, I've reverted into the arts, combining all these elements in my work, still trying to change the world. This is truly what I want to do.' - Chuck D In Livin' Loud, Public Enemy founder, hip-hop pioneer and revolutionary activist, Chuck D, presents a body of art, each piece reflective of the man behind the music, alongside a biographical commentary tracing his musical and artistic trajectory. From his early roots and the central figures that critically shaped him and his voice, to the formation of Public Enemy, from his Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction through to his time with Prophets of Rage and current day world affairs. Chuck D has been creating musical and cultural observations that challenge public opinion since 1985 and his visual compositions continue to interpret and question the world around us. Chuck D pays homage to his musical influences and peers from James Brown and Woody Guthrie to Def Jam labelmates Run-DMC and Beastie Boys; a host of the most influential hip-hop artists from Ice Cube to Run the Jewels; his twin passions of baseball and basketball; creating a collection of landscapes on tour with Prophets of Rage, and a range of sociopolitical pieces that explore the issues continuing to shape our culture. With a foreword by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and featuring over 250 of Chuck D's paintings, sketches and drawings, Livin' Loud includes a commentary of over 13,000 words in which he offers unprecedented insight into his life and work.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 225 x 300\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: D.

Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American post-war visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles, he went on to transform the genre. His best known works include a series of unforgettable posters and title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Otto Preminger's The Man With The Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for major companies such as AT\u0026amp;T, Quaker Oats, United Airlines and Minolta. His wife and collaborator, Elaine, joined the Bass office in the late 1950s. Together they created an impressive series of award-winning short films, including the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates, as well as an equally impressive series of film titles, ranging from Stanley Kubrick s Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese s Cape Fear and Casino in the 1990s.

Hitler is circulating a most-wanted list of artists, writers, and thinkers whose work is deemed a threat to the new regime. To prevent the destruction of her favorite art (and artists), American heiress and modern art collector Leonora Calaway begins swiftly chartering boats and planes for an elite group of surrealists to Costalegre, a mysterious resort in the Mexican jungle, where she has a home.The story of what happens to these artists is told by Lara, Leonora's neglected fifteen-year-old daughter, who has been pulled out of school to follow her mother to Mexico. \"I am destined,\" Lara writes, \"for a destiny I haven't had the chance to meet.\" Inspired by the beautiful and talented Charlotte, alongside an eccentric menagerie of other surrealists, Lara begins to discover herself as an artist. In days filled with writing, dreaming, horseback riding, and exploring her new home, she grapples with her own ambition, hoping to find a sensitive ear in her mother but often finding herself alone. It's not till she meets the outcast sculptor Jack Klinger, a much older man who has already been living in Costalegre for some time, that Lara thinks she might have found the understanding she so badly craves.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 127 x 198 x 17\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Courtney Maum\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781951142018\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46960815341721,"sku":"8RC9781951142018","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/69e10f48c4f29_Costalegre_A_Novel_Inspired_by_Peggy_Guggenheim_and_Her_Daughter__Pegeen.jpg?v=1776434387"},{"product_id":"draw-more-furries-how-to-create-anthropomorphic-fantasy-creatures","title":"Draw More Furries How to Create Anthropomorphic Fantasy Creatures","description":"\u003cp\u003eDraw Fabulous Furries!Furries are so much fun to draw, people have been doing so for thousands of years.
