    • Rosenthal, who first described Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and is the foremost authority on the subject, offers an up to date guide to overcoming the miseries and that millions experience with the changing seasons. In his lively style, Rosenthal offers advice on how to identify, treat and overcome both winter and summer varieties of seasonal affective disorder, as well as the less severe yet bothersome winter blues.

      Lucian Freud zählt zu den führenden Porträtisten der Gegenwartskunst. Sein ungeschönter Blick auf den menschlichen Körper setzt neue Maßstäbe für Porträt- und Aktmalerei, vor allem durch Werke mit pastosem Farbauftrag. Dieser Band widmet sich erstmals Freuds grafischem Œuvre, das über sechs Jahrzehnte außergewöhnliche Radierungen umfasst. Diese Werke bieten einen privaten Einblick in sein Schaffen und werden in hochwertigen Abbildungen präsentiert. Freuds Vorliebe für dramatisch beschnittene Figuren vor leerem Hintergrund erzeugt eine bemerkenswerte psychologische Spannung und formale Abstraktion. Während seine Gemälde weithin bekannt sind, waren seine Radierungen, die einen wichtigen Teil seines Schaffens darstellen, der Öffentlichkeit bisher wenig zugänglich. Diese Radierungen zeigen meist Freunde, Familienmitglieder oder andere Künstler, die während der Sitzungen vor seiner Staffelei saßen. Freud zeichnete direkt auf die Kupferstichplatten, wobei feine Linien ausdrucksvolle Körper formten, die anschließend auf Papier gedruckt wurden. Der Band überzeugt durch eine Fülle brillanter grafischer Arbeiten und enthält einen Beitrag des renommierten Kurators Norman Rosenthal, der Lucian Freud persönlich kennt.

      By the time Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) came to artistic maturity in Germany in the mid-1960s, he had renounced the gestural abstraction prevalent in Europe and America and developed a new aesthetic based upon the figure and its representation as an abstract image. His bold canvases - which began to feature his signature upside-down figures later in the decade - have brought him international recognition, but only now is his important career the subject of a comprehensive survey, organized by the Guggenheim Museum and traveling to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin.This monograph, by Guggenheim Deputy Director and Senior Curator Diane Waldman, documents every phase of the artist's career as a painter and sculptor. New translations of many of Baselitz's writings provide additional insight into his radical use of the figure in painting. A chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history are also included.
