Book excerpt: The Russian Constructivist Aleksandr Rodchenko (1891-1936) cannot be categorized by any one of his remarkable activities. His prodigious career in photography, graphic design, industrial design, painting, stage set and theater design, fashion and costume design, and architecture is at last given its full recognition in this splendidly illustrated and exhaustive study of the complete range of his work. Rodchenko's artistic production is considered against the complex background of the political, social, personal, and artistic circumstances of the period, from the beginning of his studies at the Art School of Kazan to his encounter with Mayakovsky and the Futurists, from the famous Moscow Exhibitions where Rodchenko took part in the founding phase of abstract art to the arguments with Kandinksy over cultural supremacy with the Institute of Artistic Culture (INCHUK) and the definitive embracing of Constructivism. Among the book's unusual contributions is the serious consideration given to Rodchenko's architectural projects and its generous treatment of unknown documents - newspaper reports, commentaries, debates, articles, letters - of the time. These give a lively sense of what was actually happening in Moscow art circles during the crucial formative years of the avant-garde movement. The visual material is particularly stunning. Five hundred illustrations, many in full color, are taken from Russian archives or from Rodchenko's private archive now owned by his nephew. The author, Selim Omarovich Khan-Magomedov is a Soviet architectural historian and critic who has achieved an enviable record of championing the rehabilitation of modern Soviet architecture from the 1920s. He almost single-handedly launched the bold campaign in 1962 to revive the historical legacy of Soviet modernism. Magomedov's studies of modern Soviet architecture, institutions, and personalities represent an impressive body of work in the face of formidable odds and official resistance and they are highly regarded in the West.

Book excerpt: These artists, heeding the call of Constructivist manifestos to abandon the nonobjective painting and sculpture of the early Russian avant-garde and enter into Soviet industrial production, aimed to work as "artist-engineers" to produce useful objects for everyday life in the new socialist collective." "Kiaer shows how these artists elaborated on the theory of the socialist object-as-comrade in the practice of their art. They broke with the traditional model of the autonomous avant-garde, Kiaer argues, in order to participate more fully in the political project of the Soviet state. She analyzes Constructivism's attempt to develop modernist forms to forge a new comradely relationship between human subjects and the mass-produced objects of modernity."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book La Europa del Renacimiento written by J.R. Hale and published by Siglo XXI. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los cuarenta años que median entre 1480 y 1520 en las que centra su trabajo J. R. Hale son los más atractivos del Renacimiento. En otros libros de historia hay abundantes referencias a las figuras más representativas (los Borgias y los Médicis, Maquiavelo y Erasmo, Leonardo y Miguel Ángel). También aquí se les contempla, si bien al autor le preocupa en mayor grado dar a conocer al lector –especialistas y profanos encontrarán aquí incitantes sugerencias– el modo de vivir común al mayor número posible de personas, cuál era su actitud ante cuestiones fundamentales, como la justicia social, el amor, el tiempo, el arte, las relaciones personales y familiares, la vida en el campo y en las ciudades, la religión, la política, la enseñanza y la ciencia. Resulta difícil evaluar los testimonios, casi siempre deshilvanados, que permitan reconstruir la mentalidad de la mayoría. El autor, fiel a su propósito, se arriesga por esta vía, y el acercamiento que logra enriquece la visión que el lector adquiere con respecto al pasado, especialmente dentro del diario acontecer, que cambia tan lentamente a través de los siglos.

Download or read book El Renacimiento Europeo written by Peter Burke and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2000-02-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este es un libro original e innovador acerca de un tema, el Renacimiento, sobre el que todo parecía ya dicho y escrito. Peter Burke, profesor de la Universidad de Cambridge, se ha propuesto trascender las descripciones al uso, que suelen limitarse a lo sucedido en Italia, Francia o Flandes, para ofrecernos la plena dimensión europea del Renacimiento: el proceso por el que las nuevas formas culturales y las nuevas ideas llegaron hasta las periferias de nuestro continente, hasta los mundos celta, escandinavo o eslavo, donde las grandes obras de arte eran conocidas tan sólo a través de sus reproducciones por la cerámica o el grabado, pero donde el complejo cultural que llamamos «Renacimiento» acabó transformando no sólo el arte y la literatura, sino los usos de la vida cotidiana, al difundir nuevos conceptos de comportamiento y de elegancia, nuevas danzas, nuevos estilos en la redacción de cartas de amor o incluso nuevos y exóticos utensilios como el tenedor. Burke nos muestra además que éste no fue un simple proceso de reproducción, de recepción pasiva, sino que el Renacimiento se adaptó a los distintos contextos sociales y culturales de Europa a través de una imitación creativa que pasó por una sucesión de fases de recepción, resistencia y, finalmente, de una “domesticación” que acabó integrando los nuevos elementos culturales en la vida cotidiana de estos países y contribuyó, con ello, a europeizar Europa.
