Download or read book World War I and the Visual Arts written by Jennifer Farrell and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published on the occasion of the centenary of World War I, this Bulletin, which accompanies the related exhibition “World War I and the Visual Arts,” on view at The Met until January 7, 2018, explores the myriad and often contradictory ways in which artists responded to the world’s first modern war. Drawn primarily from The Met’s collection of works on paper and supplemented with loans from private collections, both presentations move chronologically from the initial mobilization in early August 1914 to the tumultuous decade that followed the armistice of November 1918. Ranging from expressions of bellicose enthusiasm to sentiments of regret, grief, and anger, the selected works—from prints, photographs, and drawings to propaganda posters, postcards, and commemorative medals—powerfully evoke the conflicting emotions of this complex period. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

Book excerpt: When the French Government declared a general mobilisation on the 1 August 1914, no one who witnessed the scenes of great exuberant patriotism, could have envisaged the speed with which the mood of the nation would deteriorate. The war of attrition that the frontline troops found themselves embroiled in gradually eroded their optimism and engendered a feeling that they were "une génération sacrifiée". This book, in part, gives an insight into a largely under-reported component of France's war effort but one which would prove critical in raising morale and establishing a bridge in understanding and empathy between soldiers and civilians. The fundraising Journées were administered by a profusion of local committees often overseen, with government approval, by municipal authorities such as the prefects and mayors. These campaigns relied on a close relationship between voluntary organizations and the state and as a result arguably set a tone of national philanthropic unity that would last for the duration of the war and beyond.The vast majority of the Journées involved selling small mementos such as medals and insignias to raise funds for a variety of deserving causes. These miniature 'works of art' proved enormously popular with the general public and undoubtedly contributed to the success of the Journées. Thankfully many of the items were regarded, even during the war period, as collector's items and many have been preserved in museums and private collections.The main purpose of The Journées 1914 - 1919 is to build on the acclaimed work of Roger de Bayle des Hermens who compiled a comprehensive reference catalogue of the insignias and medals produced for both the national and regional Journées. With the benefit of internet research facilities, together with access to private papers and collections, the author has produced a detailed, up-to-date catalogue of the national Journées.
Download or read book Modigliani written by Jeffrey Meyers and published by HMH. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biographer explores the artist’s tragic life, and transcendent work, in early twentieth-century Paris—“a vibrant portrait of a deeply unhappy man” (Publishers Weekly). In 1920, at the age of thirty-five, Amedeo Modigliani died in poverty and neglect in Paris, much like a figure out of La Bohéme. His life had been as dramatic as his death. An Italian Jew from a bourgeois family, “Modi” had a weakness for drink, hashish, and the many women—including the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova—who were drawn to his good looks. His painting thrived on chaos, but his bohemian lifestyle, combined with a youthful case of tuberculosis, eventually took a fatal toll. His friends included Picasso, Utrillo, Soutine, and other important artists of his day, yet his own work stood apart, generating little interest while he lived. Today’s art world, however, acknowledges him as a master whose limited oeuvre—sculptures, portraits, and some of the most appealing nudes in the whole of modern art—cannot satisfy collectors’ demand. With a lively but judicious hand, biographer Jeffrey Meyers sketches Modigliani and the art he produced, illuminating not only this little-known figure but also the painters, writers, lovers, and others who inhabited early twentieth-century Paris with him.

Download or read book Moderne written by Sarah Schleuning and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacques-mile Ruhlmann, Pierre Chareau, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Charlotte Perriand, Eileen Gray: together these designers and their contemporaries pioneered the look of the modern French interior during the 1920s. Their use of sumptuous materials, rich jewel tones, intricate geometric patterns, and complex and varied textures has made this work a lasting favorite among interior designers, architects, and their clients. When it first appeared, the got moderne, or modern taste, was marketed through limited-edition portfolios containing unbound drawings, printed in full color using a traditional process called pochoir. Created in an era before color photography, the vivid gouache and watercolor depictions of interior spaces—complete with coordinated furniture, carpets, fabrics, and decorative accessories—announced the dawn of a new era of French design and set the standards of luxury and taste that still guide us today. Moderne presents the finest examples of this work in more than two hundred plates, selected by Sarah Schleuning, a curator of the Wolfsonian Museum, and faithfully reproduced to preserve their original color palettes. This sumptuous volume is comprehensive in scope, beginning with the early art moderne of Ruhlmann and concluding with the avant-garde work of Gray and Perriand. These and other high-water marks of the period are discussed in an essay by historian Jeremy Aynsley. Designers' biographies and a brief bibliography are also included, making this an inspirational resource for interior designers and architects, and an indispensable reference for historians of the modern era.
Download or read book Historicizing Lifestyle written by David Bell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifestyles have a history, and lifestyle media is fundamentally implicated in this history. This original volume examines issues of taste, media and lifestyle from the 1900s to 1970s, providing a wealth of empirical evidence and debate from varied international perspectives. Including examples as diverse as 'Good Housekeeping' and 'Playboy', it explores the continuities and discontinuities between the past and present to provide a better understanding of the representation of lifestyle and its relationship to the self. The volume demonstrates how ideas about gender, nation and 'race' problematize taken-for-granted assumptions about lifestyle, with particular emphasis on the new middle classes in the US. The book also examines the role of advertising and marketing in mediating ideas about lifestyle, the role of material culture in the construction of cultural hierarchies and the positioning of social groups within wider cartographies of taste. The volume makes a significant contribution to this growing field and will interest academics and students in media and cultural studies, communication studies, cultural history and sociology.
