by Gabriele Kainz
This is the first major publication on the life and work of one of the most important British artists of the twentieth century. Ceri Richards, born in Wales in 1903, was a draughtsman of genius and a painter of rare energy and imagination. It was while he was training at the Royal College of Art in London in the mid 1920s that his life-long, fiercely intelligent engagement with modern European painting began. He read and was deeply affected by Kandinsky and responded at the most profound level t...

The Pulse of Modernism (In Vivo: The Cultural Mediations of Biomedical Science)
by Robert Michael Brain
Robert Brain traces the origins of artistic modernism to specific technologies of perception developed in late-nineteenth-century laboratories. Brain argues that the thriving fin-de-siècle field of “physiological aesthetics,” which sought physiological explanations for the capacity to appreciate beauty and art, changed the way poets, artists, and musicians worked and brought a dramatic transformation to the idea of art itself.

Japanese Connections - The Birth Of Modern Decor
by Isabelle Cahn Ed.
In the 1930s, the exciting urban environment of Montreal provided the perfect venue for a varied group of people who came together to form a kind of "salon" in the turmoil of the Great Depression. For ten years, these friends and acquaintances met each week at the home of the artist John Lyman. They saw themselves as "modern," a part of the avant-garde that was then busily changing the world. These Canadian modernists supported left-wing causes, advocated a more stable social order, and heralded...

From Baroness Tamara de Lempicka's last successful one-person show in San Francisco from 1941 to 1972, when the Galerie de Luxembourg in Paris hosted a retrospective of her works between 1925 and 1935, more than 30 years of silence passed over an artist who, between the two world wars enjoyed great notoriety and the favour of the haute societe: for her beauty and brilliant life, not less than for her portraits of aristocrats and the VIPs of the time and, more generally, for her painting. Tamara...
In this groundbreaking study, Nina Gurianova identifies the early Russian avant-garde (1910-1918) as a distinctive movement in its own right and not a preliminary stage to the Constructivism of the 1920s. Gurianova identifies what she terms an "aesthetics of anarchy" - art-making without rules - that greatly influenced early twentieth-century modernists. Setting the early Russian avant-garde movement firmly within a broader European context, Gurianova draws on a wealth of primary and archival so...
