Résumé : "A revolutionary art movement asserted itself in India between the declaration of independence at midnight on August 15, 1947, and the economic boom of the 1990s. This is the first in-depth study of the three generations of artists responsible for critical shifts in the development of India's modernist art.Their achievements and the country's unprecedented boom ushered India's modern and contemporary art into a new era of globalism, a soaring international market, and an explosion in the media and technologies of art. After independence, India's artists faced a particular artistic challenge : how to express the new nation's distinctive character while entering a global discourse focused on modernism's universal premises of experimentation and shared human values. In the absence of a dominant aesthetic, painters could turn where they wished and blend as they liked - from Abstract Expressionism to Tantric spiritualism ; from Rajasthani painting to changes in India's complex politics, religions, classes, and vernacular life. Abundantly illustrated with iconic works of the post-Independence era, Midnight to the Boom tells the story of the exciting developments that occurred in Indian art and culture during this pivotal period in the country's modern history."[Source : revers de la jaquette].

Résumé : PHUNK is a contemporary art and design collective based in Singapore. Founded in 1994 by Alvin Tan, Melvin Chee, Jackson Tan, and William Chan, they developed a new approach to collective art-making specific to southeast Asia that is based on the collaborative aesthetic of a rock- and-roll band and the visual elements of urban subcultures. Since then, PHUNK has exhibited widely and collaborated with musicians, including the Rolling Stones; fashion brands such as Hermes and Uniqlo; and international brands such as MTV, Nike, and Rolls Royce, producing work across a broad range of mediums. Inspired by "Control Chaos," a key silkscreen artwork that sparked PHUNK's creative journey, this monograph is organized around three themes: "Collective Consciousness," which looks into PHUNK's early development; "Criti-Cool," an exploration of the challenges of practicing art in Singapore; and "Connecting Worlds," an examination of works that reflect our increasingly globalized world. With accompanying texts based on exclusive interviews with the collective, this inspirational overview is richly illustrated with original artwork and will be essential reading for fans of the collective as well as anyone interested in Singapore and Southeast Asia's art and design scene over the past twenty-five years

Résumé : Peu de gens ont du mal à évoquer des images du design scandinave moderne, dont l'influence au cours du siècle dernier a atteint le monde entier. Il est plus difficile pour beaucoup d'imaginer les paysages paisibles des pays nordiques, qui vont des plaines du Danemark aux montagnes et aux fjords spectaculaires de la Norvège. Ces environnements majestueux, combinés à de longues journées d'été et à des hivers peu lumineux, à des forêts de bouleaux légères et denses, ont donné naissance à des exemples d'aménagement de jardins et de paysages exceptionnellement raffinés.Cette enquête présente les meilleurs jardins réalisés dans la région au cours des dix dernières années. Organisé par thèmes qui résument l'ambiance et le mode de vie particuliers des pays scandinaves - Simplicité, Silence, Fragilité, Nu, Harmonie, Audace, Ouverture et Soin - chaque jardin est présenté à travers des images et des textes expliquant ses aspects uniques et décrivant ses caractéristiques particulièrement scandinaves.L'intemporalité du design nordique a fait ses preuves dans le monde entier depuis de nombreuses décennies. C'est maintenant au tour de la qualité de ses jardins et de ses paysages de se révéler.

Résumé : This monograph accompanies the first European retrospective of the work of Lee Krasner (1908-1984). One of the original abstract expressionists, Krasner's importance has for too long been eclipsed by her marriage to Jackson Pollock. In fact, his death in 1956 marked her renaissance as an artist. Over the course of more than five decades, Krasner continually scrutinized and reinvented her practice, giving her work formidable energy and impact. Her accomplishments began to be recognized toward the end of her life and in 1984 she became one of the few women artists to be given a solo exhibition at MoMA. As Krasner quipped about her belated recognition: "I was a woman, Jewish, a widow, a damn good painter, thank you, and a little too independent". This volume features an outstanding selection of her most important paintings, collages and drawings, contextualized by photography from the post-war period, an illustrated chronology, and includes an unpublished interview with her biographer Gail Levin. Tracing her evolution as an artist - from her earliest self-portraits to the acclaimed `little image' series, from her 1950s collages to epic painterly canvases - this book offers a vivid impression of one of the most tenacious women artists of the 20th century, whose work and life feels more relevant than ever today.

Résumé : In this first systematic introduction to contemporary Chinese art, Wu Hung provides an accessible, focused and much-needed narrative of the development of Chinese art across all media from the 1970s to the 2000s. From its underground genesis during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), contemporary Chinese art has become a dynamic and hugely influential force in a globalized art world where the distinctions between Eastern and Western culture are rapidly collapsing. The book is a richly illustrated and easy-to-navigate chronological survey that considers contemporary Chinese art both in the context of Chinas specific historical experiences and in a global arena. Wu Hung explores the emergence of avant-garde or contemporary art as opposed to officially sanctioned art in the public sphere after the Cultural Revolution; the mobilization by young artists and critics of a nationwide avant-garde movement in the mid-1980s; the re-emphasis on individual creativity in the late 1980s, the heightened spirit of experimentation of the 1990s; and the more recent identification of Chinese artists, such as Ai Weiwei, as global citizens who create works for an international audience
