An exploration of the important role that art and artists played in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century Highlighting the influences and antipathies among art, politics, identity, and censorship, this book brings together more than seventy painting and sculptures from the distinguished modern art collections of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, including works by artists such as Max Beckmann, George Grosz, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Gabriele Münter, and Christian Schad. The book’s insightful essays explore the histories of the artists, their artistic movements, and German museums through the political upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century, providing a sense for the German experience of art through four tumultuous decades. Beginning with the Expressionists and their opposition to the conservative artistic regime of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the book moves through the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement that typifyied the modern style of the 1920s; the international vanguards and varieties of abstraction of the interwar period; and the strident artistic challenges to war and Nazi repression. Also included are works that help readers contextualize the ambiguous aftermath of World War II. Essays and a detailed chronology enrich the full scope of the brilliant masterworks showcased in the book.

Jiří Hauschka (narozen 1965 v Šumperku) se obrací k tomu typu malířství, pro které jsou důležité barvy a symbolické konotace, tak jak tomu bylo na přelomu 19. a 20. století - v tomto období se Jiří Hauschka vztahuje zejména ke kanadskému malíři Tomovi Thomsonovi, který žil v letech 1877 až 1917 - či jak se děje v ateliérech soudobých autorů, jako jsou kupříkladu Daniel Richter nebo Peter Doig. Realita se proměňuje v malířské naraci na vrstevnaté vyprávění, kde se mísí umělecká paměť s novými zážitky, pohledy, touhami, citovými zjitřeními. V případě Jiřího Hauschky se ocitáme v divočině, v divočině malířské nostalgie, kde hledáme člověka, a v urbánní civilizaci, v té civilizaci, která je na pokraji svých možností a kde tak cítíme a vidíme barvy divočiny. Autory textů jsou Martin Dostál a slovutný britský kunsthistorik Edward Lucie-Smith. Jiří Hauschka (born 1965 in Šumperk) turns to this type of painting method that utilizes colours and symbolic connotations, prevalent at the turn of the 20th century - he positions himself in that period next to the Canadian painter Tom Thomson (1877-1917) - and used by contemporary painters such as Daniel Richter or Peter Doig. Reality is transformed by the painter‘s narration into layered storytelling, where the artist's memory is interspersed with new experiences, views, desires and emotional turbulences. In the case of Jiri Hauschka, we find ourselves in the wilderness of painter nostalgia, where we look for the conceptual person, and in urban civilization, which has barely any options left and where we can therefore feel and see the colours of wilderness. The authors of the texts are Martin Dostál and the famous British art historian Edward Lucie-Smith.

This second edition has been updated to include an assessment of economic relations up to the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on three main threads that tie national economies together: flows of goods, of people and of finance.Since the end of the Second World War, the international economy transformed from a tightly controlled trading system to the financial globalization of the late 20th century. This book traces the organisation of international economic relations from the 1944 Bretton Woods conference through to the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath. By outlining the development of economic policy of both national and international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, this volume examines how the global system was constructed and explores the sources of inequality and instability. The changing political context is also emphasised, especially the Cold War and its end, the rise of China and other emerging market economies and the prospect of a retreat from globalisation in the wake of the 2008 crisis.Using non-technical language and providing clear examples and evidence, the book is an accessible introduction to international economic relations that will be useful for all students of modern world history since 1945.

Written by a noted authority, this fully illustrated study describes and depicts the machine guns equipping Soviet and Russian troops after 1945. Following the USSR’s victory in World War II, the Soviet armed forces adopted a succession of new or improved machine guns. At squad level, the 7.62mm RPD and RP-46 light machine guns replaced the DPM, themselves being supplanted by the RPK from 1961. Firing the lighter 5.45×39mm cartridge, the RPK-74 was issued from 1974 and remains in use today. The 5.45mm RPK-16 entered Russian service in 2018. Having served alongside the 7.62mm PM M1910 Maxim during World War II, the 7.62mm SG-43 medium machine gun was updated as the SGM before being supplanted by the 7.62mm PK general-purpose machine gun, issued from 1961. The improved PKM made its debut in 1969 and still equips Russian troops today, being joined by the PKP in 2001 and the AEK-999 in 2008. First issued in 1938, the formidable 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun remains in Russian service today as the DShkM. It was joined by the 14.5mm KPV from 1949, the 12.7mm NSV from 1971 and the 12.7mm Kord from 1998. In this illustrated survey, Leroy Thompson investigates the origins, development, combat use and legacy of all of these machine guns since 1945, from the start of the Cold War to the 2020s, casting light on their battlefield effectiveness and tactical influence.

A treatise on the spiritual in contemporary painting to adopt new, metaphysical ways of conceiving of and creating art, by one of the most impactful and recognized artists of the twentieth century, in a new translation for the first time since publicationA Penguin ClassicIn Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Wassily Kandinsky, one of the most famous abstract painters of all time, urges the reader to free themselves from art''s traditional bonds to material reality. In this radical theoretical work, he calls for a spiritual revolution in painting, arguing that artists, much like musicians, should be allowed to express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Investigating form and colour, spirituality and tradition, Kandinsky explores art''s resonance with the soul, its purpose and nature, and its power to inspire us, to stir our emotions and to help us see beyond the limits of our world. A significant contribution to the understanding of non-objectivism in art, this book serves as an important landmark in modern art history and is necessary reading for every artist and art-lover.

This fresh look at photorealism argues for its continued relevance todayPublished with The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. This volume, Ordinary People, recovers the social art history of the long-dismissed genre of photorealism and demonstrates the continued relevance of photorealist strategies for artists working today. Spanning the 1960s to the present, this large-scale reexamination of the postwar art movement features the work of more than 40 artists, including paintings, drawings, sculptures and murals. It recasts the work of canonical and underrecognized photorealists of the 1960s and ’70s in new frameworks and identifies younger artists who have deployed photorealism as a vehicle for social/political critique. Unlike the typical photorealism survey, Ordinary People includes a diverse, multigenerational group of artists, with a focused look at the major contributions of women and BIPOC artists to the genre. It explores the representational politics of photorealist painting in the context of the recent rise of figurative portraiture and covers the myriad ways that artists, through this seemingly nonconfrontational aesthetic, have enticed viewers to confront painful historical events and social experiences.

The Great Exhibition of 1851, the first World's Fair, is generally thought of as a giant trade fair, a showcase for empires and industry. However, it was also conceived to address a deep-rooted problem with British taste, which favoured European art and design over British. Julius Bryant's richly illustrated new book, which draws on the vast visual resources of the V&A's collections, establishes the centrality of works of fine art amongst the objects on show at the Great Exhibition. It also highlights the ways in which contemporary artists were commissioned to depict and record the Exhibition’s building and displays for reproduction in commemorative publications. Through reproductions of period images from definitive official publications, commercial guides, souvenirs, music scores, poems and satirical periodicals, the book brings to life the 19th-century visitor’s experience of the first World’s Fair. It documents Prince Albert’s vision for the Exhibition alongside the planned and actual routes as recorded in official engravings, maps and guidebooks; the opening and closing ceremonies as depicted in prints; the official visual record of the Exhibition; and souvenirs, popular press and ephemera. It concludes by examining the legacy of the Great Exhibition, including the founding of an institution which shared the Exhibition's mission to educate the public about art, design and taste: the Victoria and Albert Museum.

A place for representation, self-presentation and communication, resistance and protest - this lavishly illustrated volume investigates the multi-layered significance of the street in the art of the twentieth and twenty-first century as an interface for diverse walks of life and groups through international positions in painting, graphics, photography, film, performance and installation.Around 1900, the street moved into the focus of artists in the wake of industrialisation and urbanisation as an elemental component of life. Starting with the Futurists and the Expressionists, who made the street a symbol for modern life full of promises and conflicts, the subject runs like a thread through art: as a social psychogram; as the expression of collective and individual longings and fears; within the context of happenings or graffiti; and currently also redefined within the framework of ecology, sustainability and democratic movements.

"It's not difficult to create something that will look like art; you just need to imitate an already existing genre or style. The challenge is to create something that will be able to trigger an art experience.” Magda Stanová studies where, in a spectrum of different kinds of experiences (jokes, magic tricks, pleasure from solving a mathematical or scientific problem), there are thrills triggered by art. All of these experiences are contingent upon a sufficient amount of novelty. The book contains a lot of drawings and diagrams.

The book of the world known scholar on Cézanne's work, Pavel Machotka, throws a new light on the momentous work of Paul Cézanne. He is often viewed merely from his place in history - as a forerunner of the Cubists, or more simply as the father of modern art. Seldom is he seen as a painter who painted in his own time, in a particular place, and with his own goals and desires. Pavel Machotka prefers to see Cézanne as a painter at work, as someone who both looked hard and thought deeply and analytically. He located and photographed dozens of the motifs that Cézanne had painted, and here he analyzes the artist's creative process in transforming the landscape into painting. He shows that Cézanne was both intensely attached to his vision and deeply committed to constructing a disciplined and sensuous analog of it. On the one hand his paintings are representations of what he saw, and on the other they are independent constructions of nearly musical intricacy.

She builds a room of her own, furnished with a pillow of Moroccan silk, a Persian cup, inkwell and fountain pen. The couple spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps and charting new adventures as they start their family.As Smith suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again - the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the mundane into the beautiful, the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope. In the final pages, we meet Patti on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.

Autotheory--the commingling of theory and philosophy with autobiography--as a mode of critical artistic practice indebted to feminist writing and activism.In the 2010s, the term "autotheory" began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.

*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM BOOK CLUB PICK*''A clear, compelling guide to some of the most pressing debates in technology today.'' Bill Gates''A colourful and insightful insiders'' view of how technology is both empowering us and threatening us. From privacy to cyberattacks, this timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.'' Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve JobsFrom Microsoft''s President and one of the tech industry''s wisest thinkers, a frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates. With new chapters on the pandemic and beyond. __________Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: when your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation.In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world''s largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no pre-existing playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech''s relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying "Microsoft memoir," the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company''s most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents. There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.__________In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith takes us behind the scenes on some of the biggest stories to hit the tech industry in the past decade and some of the biggest threats we face. From Edward Snowden''s NSA leak to the NHS WannaCry ransomware attack, this book is essential reading to understand what''s happening in the world around us.Praise for Tools and Weapons: ''The de facto ambassador for the technology industry at large.'' The New York Times''In Tools and Weapons, Brad and Carol Ann Browne wrestle with some of the world''s toughest technology challenges with common sense and valuable insight reflecting their inside experience. The ideas in Tools and Weapons won''t solve all our problems, but they''re a very good place to start.'' - Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix''Tools and Weapons is a glimpse behind the curtain as Microsoft reckoned with the Snowden revelations, defended against the vicious cyberattacks, and took both the Obama and Trump administrations to court.'' - Rolling Stone

Understanding the theories that underpin international political economy (IPE), and their practical applications, is crucial to the study of international relations, politics, development and economics. International Political Economy in the 21st Century offers students an engaging and coherent foundation to the subject.

The book encourages independent reflection and critical thinking through a range of in-text guiding features. In addition, each chapter presents theoretical analysis alongside contemporary issues, helping the reader to relate to the real world of IPE and to better understand how theory helps inform interpretation of it.This third edition has been comprehensively updated to include:• key coverage of the build-up to and the post-COP26 era; causes and consequences of recent energy crises, and governmental and non-governmental responses to these crises; cryptocurrencies within finance; and the role of ‘big data’ companies;• fully updated data, reflective questions, recommended readings, concept and example boxes, and illustrations;• a new chapter on Climate Change; and• online material.This comprehensive and accessible introductory textbook will be key reading for undergraduate students of international political economy.

A manifesto and impassioned plea for artistic excellence When he attended The Cooper Union in the late 1960s, artist Robert Florczak navigated a world of avant-garde experimentation, where modern art reigned supreme. Yet, within this bastion of innovation, and surrounded by cutting-edge, conceptual art, he, along with a few like-minded peers, quietly questioned the legitimacy of the contemporary masterpieces celebrated in the school's corridors and found himself at odds with the prevailing trends. Now, in Good Art/Bad Art, Florczak unveils a critical exploration of the art world, providing a lucid guide for those who believe in the enduring standards of artistic excellence. But Florczak's narrative extends beyond his personal journey. He shines a spotlight on the intimidation faced by art enthusiasts today—a fear to challenge the prevailing elitist "art establishment." Florczak dismantles the arguments for much of today's art, providing common-sense counterpoints to empower those who seek clarity amid the confusion. In a century where art history has been dominated by those distant from the artist's perspective, Florczak advocates for a shift in focus. He argues for acknowledging an Ideal in art, one that transcends history, culture, and passing fads—a visual best that a society can accomplish. Good Art/Bad Art urges us to evaluate art not just through the lens of historians and critics but from the artist's viewpoint. To unravel the mystery of what makes art visually great, Florczak introduces a simple, clear, and rational method for understanding and evaluating art. Rooted in aesthetics, these enduring standards cut through the complexities of "explanations," "statements," and "theories," establishing excellence or exposing artistic missteps.Good Art/Bad Art provides readers with a visual journey, exploring both exemplary and questionable works of art. From the celebrated masterpieces of the past to the often-ignored gems of the present, Florczak delves into the world of art as perceived by its own respective eras. Accompanied by illuminating quotes from artists, his selections aim to provoke thoughtful reflection.Good Art/Bad Art is more than a book—it is a cultural manifesto. Florczak champions the cause of excellence in art, urging readers to defend it with sound, rational arguments. In an era where the art establishment veers towards inanity, offensiveness, and poor execution, this book stands as a guide for anyone who believes in the profound importance of preserving artistic standards.
