Das unklassische Bild(1st Edition) von Tizian bis Constable und Turner. [GHS] / Historische Bibliothek der Gerda-Henkel-Stiftung by WernerBusch, Werner: Hofmann Hardcover, 352 Pages, Published 2009 by C.H.Beck ISBN-13: 978-3-406-58246-2, ISBN: 3-406-58246-X
"Von Tizian bis TurnerGebundenes BuchSeit der Renaissance und bis ins 19. Jahrhundert beanspruchte das sogenannte klassische Bild seine Vorrangstellung. Es sollte Ideen zum Ausdruck bringen, die letztlich immateriell waren. Ebenfalls seit der Renaissance gab es jedoch eine zweite Tradition, die sich an der sinnlichen Erscheinung der Dinge orientierte. Werner Busch stellt diese Geschichte des unklassischen Bildes zum ersten Mal zusammenhä ..."
"Gottlieb Biedermeier, a teasing middle-class papa best known for his appearances in a Munich satirical weekly, came to fame in the 1840s. A "god-loving everyman," he represented the typical German citizen, more interested in a comfortable home and a convivial family than political activism. The poets who created him, needling the bourgeoisie and signing their own work "Biedermeier," weren't thinking about the elegant housewares that now ..."
"Dick Oulton (1918-2000) was a commercial photographer who worked in Vancouver from the late 50s to the mid 80s, offering services for weddings, portraits, passports and commercial photography. The bulk of his archive has never previously been reproduced. This selection reveals a great "outsider" photographer with a special flair for photographing the ladies."
Degas(1st Edition) by WernerHofmann, Edgar Degas Hardcover, 319 Pages, Published 2007 by Thames & Hudson ISBN-13: 978-0-500-09341-2, ISBN: 0-500-09341-5
"An intriguing, marvelously illustrated, landmark survey of this popular painter's work. We tend to think of Degas as an Impressionist who painted lovely ballerinas and lively scenes at the racetrack. As Werner Hofmann so ably demonsrates in his magisterial new study, that viewpoint fails to do justice to the issues that Degas addressed in his art and to how innovative he truly was. Focusing on people in their social environment, on thei ..."
"A new and profusely illustrated appraisal of this leading Romantic painter. The international reputation and popularity of Caspar David Friedrich, the leading German Romantic artist of the nineteenth century, has grown steadily since the major retrospective at the Tate Gallery in 1972. In the past three decades, intense critical interest has led to different, and sometimes conflicting, interpretations, thus necessitating this new apprai ..."
"Throughout his artistic career Picasso was fascinated by both caricature and the idea of the grotesque: light and dark representations of the distorted human figure. Picasso: From Caricature to Metamorphosis of Style, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, is the first book to examine the distortion of the figure as a central creative force in Picasso's art and a springboard for his continual process of st ..."

"A new and profusely illustrated appraisal of this leading Spanish painter and graphic artist. "As a draftsman and painter, Goya favors the human passions, whether uninhibited or suppressed, repressed or repressing." Thus does Werner Hofmann describe the essence of the vast oeuvre left behind by Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828), pointing to the source of its vital energy, alarming immediacy, and striking modernity. Discussions of G ..."
"The Romantic movement in art, with its emphasis on emotion, imagination and a sensitivity to nature, was at its height from the late 18th century to the mid 19th century. It has continued to influence some Western art, but in Germany it assumed a much greater significance, and has been closely linked to perceptions of national characteristics. This book, published to accompany exhibitions at the Scottish National Gallery of Art, Edinbur ..."

"During the 1970's, Argentina was torn by terror from both the extreme right and the far left. With the coming to power in 1976 of the first of three military juntas, however, the ruling armed forces responded to the terrorists' cries with a terrorism far worse than that they were combating. The security forces of the military kidnapped, tortured, and assassinated thousands of human beings with impunity. Their victims came to be called d ..."
