Writing Architecture in Modern Italy
Author: Daria Ricchi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000199509
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Writing Architecture in Modern Italy tells the history of an intellectual group connected to the small but influential Italian Einaudi publishing house between the 1930s and the 1950s. It concentrates on a diverse group of individuals, including Bruno Zevi, an architectural historian and politician; Giulio Carlo Argan, an art historian; Italo Calvino, a fiction writer; Giulio Einaudi, a publisher; and Elio Vittorini and Cesare Pavese, both writers and translators. Linking architectural history and historiography within a broader history of ideas, this book proposes four different methods of writing history, defining historiographical genres, modes, and tones of writing that can be applied to history writing to analyze political and social moments in time. It identifies four writing genres: myths, chronicles, history, and fiction, which became accepted as forms of multiple postmodern historical stories after 1957. An important contribution to the architectural debate, Writing Architecture in Modern Italy will appeal to those interested in the history of architecture, history of ideas, and architectural education.

Publisher: Corraini Editore
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : it
Pages : 250
Book Description
In 1979 the fanciful Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari donated part of his personal archive to the Center for the Study of Archives and Communication in Parma--a sort of encyclopedic collection of solutions for possible answers. From early drawings for his abstract paintings of the 1930s, to the Negative-Positive works, to graphic sketches for publishing projects, to original editions of his games, this volume collects projects from across Munari's career, many of them previously unpublished. From the Bauhaus to Piaget's psychological theories, Munari assimilated many visual and conceptual trends of the twentieth century, reproposing them in new, highly creative and playful ways. Featuring more than 500 images, this volume contains essays, an interview and a bibliography of the most important publications on Munari's works.

David Hockney
Author: David Hockney
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030011754X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
David Hockney (b. 1937) is one of the most significant artists exploring and pushing the boundaries of figurative art today. Hockney has been engaged with portraiture since his teenage years, when he painted Portrait of My Father (1955), and his self-portraits and depictions of family, lovers, and friends represent an intimate visual diary of the artist’s life. This beautifully illustrated book examines Hockney’s portraits in all media—painting, drawing, photography, and prints—and has been produced in close collaboration with the artist. Featured subjects include members of Hockney’s family and private circle, as well as portraits of such artists and cultural figures as Lucian Freud, Francesco Clemente, R. B. Kitaj, Helmet Newton, Lawrence Weschler, and W. H. Auden. The authors reveal how Hockney’s creative development and concerns about representation can be traced through his portrait work: from his battle with naturalism to his experimentation with and later rejection of photography, and from his recent camera lucida drawings to his return to painting from life. Featuring more than 250 works from the past fifty years, David Hockney Portraits illustrates not only the fascinating range of Hockney’s creative practice but also the unique and cyclical nature of his artistic concerns.
