Heutzutage gehören die Werke von Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) zu den bekanntesten und teuersten der Welt. Seine Sonnenblumen , Die Sternennacht oder Selbstbildnis mit verbundenem Ohr kennt auch, wer sich sonst nicht für Kunst interessiert. Sie sind tatsächlich Teil des westlichen Bildgedächtnisses geworden. Doch wenn er seine grellen Farben, druckvollen Pinselstriche und klar umrissenen Formen , die später seinen Ruf begründen und Generationen expressionistischer Künstler inspirieren sollten, auf die Leinwand brachte, kämpfte van Gogh nicht nur gegen das Desinteresse seiner Zeitgenossen an, sondern auch gegen innere Dämonen und Anfälle geistiger Verwirrung . Er litt zunehmend unter Depressionen und Angstzuständen und nahm sich 1890, kurz nach seinem 37. Geburtstag, das Leben. Diese Einführung verfolgt Vincent van Goghs Lebenslauf von seinen künstlerischen Anfängen über seine Pariser Periode bis hin zu seinem letzten fieberhaften Energieausbruch in Südfrankreich während der letzten zweieinhalb Jahre seines Lebens.

This study of Picasso includes the most exhaustive record of his work to date and contains almost 1500 illustrations - from his earliest drawings to the master's very last painting.

Artist to artist, era to era, century to century Masterpieces of Western Art traces the history of painting from medieval times to the present day. But unlike conventional publications, that merely illustrate a few essentials, this work places 900 paintings taken from every era squarely in the foreground. The ten chapters each feature an introductory essay profiling the age and the achievements of the major artists, and then present selected works accompanied by searching commentaries. The reader is guided through the techniques and motifs of the artists, and familiarised with the spirit and background concerns of the age. Artist to artist, era to era, century to century, Masterpieces of Western Art adds up to an authoritative history - it is for browsing, too, where the reader can make new discoveries or meet old friends on every page. This imaginary museum of eight centuries of masterpieces by over 500 artists is a place to explore, to acquire a richer understanding of art - a reliable history, a handbook, as entertaining as it is instructive.

Pablo Picasso once said, "If there's something to be stolen, I steal it." Few artists have helped themselves as liberally from the treasures of bygone art. His own legacy is scarcely paralleled in its scope and diversity. Our study of Picasso, the most exhaustive record of his work to date, contains almost 1500 illustrations - from his earliest drawings to the master's very last painting.

One name in the history of the 20th century art stands out over all others: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). As painter, graphic artist and sculptor, he displayed an inventive enterprise and innovative bravado that always kept him one step ahead of his contemporaries. As one of them, the painter Max Ernst, ruefully put it: No one can touch Picasso. He is genius incarnate. The works selected here cover Picasso's entire output, from the less familiar to key masterpieces such as Guernica, from the Blue and Rose Periods early in his career through his cubist and classicist phases and the formal experiments of the Thirties to his later involvement with politics in art. Discusses the life and work of the well-known twentieth-century painter, describing how his art was influenced by the events in Spain and his early years there.

A Frenchman in Tahiti: Gauguin s search for pristine originality and unadulterated natureAfter starting a career as a bank broker, Paul Gauguin (1848 1903) turned to painting only at age twenty-five. After initial successes within the Impressionist circle, he broke with Vincent van Gogh and subsequently when private difficulties caused him to become restless embarked on a peripatetic life, wandering first through Europe and finally, in the search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature, to Tahiti.The paintings created from this time to his death in 1903 brought him posthumous fame. In pictures devoid of any attempt at romantically disguising the life style of the primitive island peoples, Gauguin was able to convey the magical effect that both the landscapes and life of the natives their body language, charm and beauty had on him. Wearying of his reputation as a South Sea painter, Gauguin finally determined to return to France, but died of syphilis on the Marquis Islands before his departure.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"

This penetrating study of one of the most fruitful epochs in European art presents the Renaissance not simply as the rebirth of classical styles, but also as the period that saw ""the invasion of man and his world into the domain of the arts"".

From Klimt to Koons and everything in between: it's all here (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) Who could possibly have forecast on New Year's Eve 1899 that, one hundred years later, painting and sculpture would be only options, not prerequisites? The term "art" has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100 years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings. Ranging across the full spectrum of disciplines available, including photography and new media, and thematically chaptered to highlight relationships between works and movements, this readable and encyclopaedic masterwork does just what it says on the cover. Whether you want Surrealism or Land Art, Fluxus or Bauhaus, this is your be-all, end-all guide to art of the 20th century. An undertaking as immensely ambitious as this one deserves to be owned by everyone, which is why we decided to make a special, more compact edition of this two-volume classic in celebration of 25

Die Publikation 'Impressionismus 1-2' von Ingo Walther bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Entwicklung und Merkmale des Impressionismus, einer der einflussreichsten Kunstbewegungen des 19. Jahrhunderts. In zwei Bänden werden zentrale Themen wie Licht, Farbe und die Darstellung von Bewegung behandelt, die für die impressionistische Malerei charakteristisch sind. Der erste Band konzentriert sich auf die Entstehung des Impressionismus, seine Vorläufer und die wichtigsten Künstler dieser Zeit, darunter Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir und Edgar Degas. Es werden bedeutende Werke analysiert und deren Einfluss auf die Kunstgeschichte erläutert. Der zweite Band vertieft die Auseinandersetzung mit den unterschiedlichen Strömungen innerhalb des Impressionismus sowie den internationalen Einfluss dieser Bewegung. Die Publikation enthält zahlreiche Abbildungen, die die besprochenen Werke veranschaulichen, und bietet somit eine visuelle Ergänzung zur textlichen Analyse. Die Bände sind sowohl für Kunsthistoriker als auch für interessierte Laien konzipiert und bieten eine fundierte Einführung in die Thematik des Impressionismus, ohne dabei in subjektive Wertungen abzudriften.

Dieses Buch über Miro ist ein schönes Beispiel für eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit zwischen Autor und Künstler.

In diesen Gesprächen erhielt er viele interessante und unschätzbare Einblicke in Miró's Kunst und dessen eigene Interpretationen seiner signifikantesten Werke

L’Impressionnisme est sans doute la période la plus fascinante de l’histoire de l’art moderne, attirant un large public, comme le montrent les récentes expositions et les prix records des œuvres d’artistes tels que Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh, et Monet. Cependant, malgré cet intérêt, certains aspects de la peinture impressionniste demeurent peu explorés, notamment les œuvres de nombreux peintres moins connus. Cette monographie vise à combler cette lacune en examinant l’Impressionnisme en France ainsi que les mouvements apparentés qui ont émergé en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. La première partie retrace l’histoire de l’Impressionnisme, incluant le Post-impressionnisme et le Néo-impressionnisme, tout en mettant en lumière des artistes moins célèbres comme Caillebotte, représenté ici avec 17 peintures, ainsi que Bazille, Bracquemond, Cross, Forain, et d’autres. La seconde partie explore, à travers huit chapitres, la peinture inspirée par l’Impressionnisme français dans divers pays, tels que les Pays-Bas, la Belgique, l’Allemagne, et au-delà. Il est frappant de constater que ces artistes n’ont pas simplement imité les influences françaises, mais les ont souvent réinterprétées avec une originalité remarquable, intégrant leur propre langage artistique national.
