Her mit den Sahneschnitten! Wie die Pin-ups ins Museum kamen Seit TASCHEN im Jahr 1996 The Great American Pin-up herausbrachte, hat diese genuin amerikanische Kunstform international stark an Reputation gewonnen. Hatten die leicht geschürzten Mädchen, die ursprünglich als Kalendergirls und Seelentrost die Spinde von Soldaten und Arbeitern zierten, damals lediglich das Interesse einiger fanatischer Sammler gefunden, so haben sie es mittlerweile in die angesehensten Museen der Welt geschafft. Bilder von Größen der Pin-up-Kunst wie Alberto Vargas, George Petty oder Gil Elvgren, die 1996 noch für 2.000 Dollar zu haben waren, kosten heute 200.000 Dollar und mehr. Allein schon aus Höflichkeit haben es sich die hübsch gemalten und angemalten Mädchen auch auf ihrem Weg in die museale Anerkennung nicht nehmen lassen, bisweilen zu stolpern, um Blicke auf ihre Höschen und damit ihr Kerngeschäft zu gestatten: ein wenig teasen, ein bisschen Bein zeigen und die Phantasie beflügeln - das alles natürlich im halbwegs sittsamen Rahmen! Auch wir möchten ihnen für ihre Verdienste um die Lebensfreude danken und legen ihnen mit The Art of Pin-up nun eine gigantische Hommage im XL-Format zu Füßen. Wir haben die meisten Originale für diesen Band neu fotografiert, sodass die Wiedergabequalität der Gemälde, Pastelle und Skizzen einzigartig ist. 15 der wichtigsten Pin-up-Künstler werden in ausführlichen Porträts vorgestellt. Jedes Kapitel dokumentiert den kreativen Prozess mit historischen Dokumenten - Fotos der Models, die als Vorlagen dienten, zeitgenössischen Drucken etc. -, von denen viele aus den Archiven der legendären Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company stammen. Abgerundet wird der Band durch ein "Pin-up-Lexikon", in dem 72 weitere Künstler mit Kurzbiografien und repräsentativen Werken vorgestellt werden. Das größte Kompendium der Pin-up-Kunst, das jemals zusammengestellt wurde!

"The last outlaw of visual disciplines: Graffiti and unsanctioned art—from local origins to global phenomenonIn recent years street art has grown bolder, more ornate, more sophisticated and—in many cases—more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century.
Made in collaboration with featured artists, Trespass examines the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art, tracing key figures, events and movements of self-expression in the city’s social space, and the history of urban reclamation, protest, and illicit performance. The first book to present the full historical sweep, global reach and technical developments of the street art movement,Trespass features key works by 150 artists,and connects four generations of visionary outlaws includingJean Tinguely, Spencer Tunick,Keith Haring, Os Gemeos, Jenny Holzer, Barry McGee,Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front,Guerrilla Girls and Banksy, among others. It also includes dozens of previously unpublished photographs of long-lost works and legendary, ephemeral urban artworks."

Marjorie Goodson

Andreea Radutoiu

Huge Hardcover (6 to 8 lbs)

Marjorie Goodson, a classically trained ballet dancer, and the daughter of the late Mark Goodson, brings us a collection of dramatic and dynamic dance images in her book titled MG. Her use of gritty, raw, and often nude imagery reveals the dancer's sensual, provocative nature and her love of the "contemporary" through the architectural shapes she creates and molds with her sculpted body. With stunning textures, lighting, and composition (and a wild imagination), MG highlights the sheer physicality and drama of contemporary dance. Alternating between flamboyant and vulnerable, Goodson celebrates the body "physical" and the body "emotional". At 54, Goodson proves that you can be beautiful and passionate at any age. MG is a sensual, powerful and uplifting feast for the human spirit. 153 photographs by acclaimed photographer Andreea Radutoiu.

"In Eros, the subtle and profound nuances of the erotic nature of relationships between men and women are explored through a collection of black-and-white photographs that are coupled with inspired, passionate words. Among the photographers whose visions comprise this volume are some of the great masters - Brassai, Imogen Cunningham, Horst, Man Ray, Minor White, Edward Weston - as well as many celebrated contemporary artists - Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Hiro, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Duane Michals, Helmut Newton, and Albert Watson, among others. Deeply involved as they are with the relationship between seeing and feeling, their images take us on a rich visual journey ranging from the eloquent beauty of the human form to the complexity of body language motivated by desire." "This compendium of expressive photographs is accented with a variety of literary selections drawn from the work of writers such as Margaret Atwood, Siv Cedering, John Cleland, E. E. Cummings, Michael Fried, Robert Graves, Erica Jong, D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Carson Reed, Dylan Thomas, and Walt Whitman. Embracing the spectrum of the erotic experience - from quiet intimacy and meditation to frank lust and reckless abandon - their words highlight the power of Eros not only to thrill and delight but also to uplift and transform."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
