Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often been argued that the arrival of the early-20th-century avant-gardes and modernisms coincided with an in-depth exploration of the materiality of art and writing. The European historical avant-gardes and modernisms excelled in their attempts to establish the specificity of media and art forms as well as in experimenting with the hybridity of the materials of their multiple disciplines. This third volume of the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies sheds light on the full range and import of this aspect in avant-garde and modernist aesthetics across all art forms and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The book’s contributions, written by experts from some 20 countries, seek to answer the following questions: What sort of objects and material, works and media help us to properly grasp the avant-garde and modernist “aesthetics of matter”? How were affects, emotions and sensory and bodily experiences transferred and transformed in the experiment with matter? How were “immaterial” things such as concepts of time changed in this aesthetic moment? What “material meanings” were disseminated in the cultural transfer and translation of objects? How did subsequent avant-gardes deal with the “aesthetics of matter” in their response to historical predecessors?

Book excerpt: Based on the Lyell Lectures given by Howard Nixon at Oxford in 1979, this lavishly illustrated book traces the decorated binding in England from the earliest surviving example, the St Cuthbert Gospel dating from a little before the end of the seventh century, to the beginning of the Modern Movement in the late 1940s.

Download or read book Finishing in Hand Bookbinding written by Peter Fahey and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many excellent books on hand bookbinding that have been published are a help and inspiration to the beginner as well as the experienced craftsman. However, we feel that the operations of finishing should be explained in greater detail. No books or articles on hand finishing have been issued in recent years, giving in detail the trend of design, with the best methods and materials of craftsmanship. Very few modem designs have been illustrated or explained in treatises on binding and generally period decorations only are shown. This book is planned to overcome that lack. Each country has its distinct style and methods of hand binding. These differences in tooling and general finishing procedure are incorporated in the text of this book. The best method for the individual binding in hand may be chosen for the quickest, easiest, and best result. No historical development of cover design is given as such is obtainable in most volumes on binding. This book concentrates on actual operation and procedures of hand tooling. The chapter on design has to do with modern conception and treatment. The term "finishing" is applied to all work done after the book has been forwarded. The finisher must decide what lettering and decoration are to be put on the book. This includes tooling of the patterns in blind or with metal, onlay and inlay work, polishing and varnishing. The process of finishing is the means by which designs are put upon covers to echo the spirit of the story and what the binder thinks will further express that spirit.
