Summary:
Long out of print, the Arundel Society first published Giotto and His Works in Padua between 1853 and 1860. It stands as Ruskin’s most compelling set of reflections on Giotto’s masterpiece—an artwork that, in Ruskin’s estimation, changed the very course of art history. Originally accompanied by a set of black and white woodcuts of the panels in the Chapel, this new edition presents each panel in vivid color photography, adding a useful visual aid to Ruskin’s lyrical descriptions. The result is a book that serves not only as an introduction for students of art history, but also as a discussion of what it means to be a great artist, by one of most influential writers ever to tackle visual art.

Summary:
L’indiscipline s’attaque à la paroi qui veut séparer la recherche de l’action, ainsi qu’à celle qui prétend étanchéifier la pensée et l’isoler de la création. Elle n’est pas une solution. Elle n’est pas même durable. Davantage que de définir il s’agit de se réunir, de faire lien. Ce livre cherche à formuler un mot de passe, un schibboleth pour apprendre à nous reconnaître(...)

L’indiscipline s’attaque à la paroi qui veut séparer la recherche de l’action, ainsi qu’à celle qui prétend étanchéifier la pensée et l’isoler de la création. Elle n’est pas une solution. Elle n’est pas même durable. Davantage que de définir il s’agit de se réunir, de faire lien. Ce livre cherche à formuler un mot de passe, un schibboleth pour apprendre à nous reconnaître comme une communauté à venir, un «nous» qui s’ignore encore. Ce livre, comme une carte postale destinée à voyager de manière erratique: d'une UniverCité à un centre d'artiste, d'un squat à un théâtre, d'un chapiteau à une zone d'autonomie temporaire et aussi d'un continent à un autre.

Pop Art is the most important 20th-century art movement. It brought Modernism to the masses, making art sexy and fun with coke cans and comics. Today, in our age of selfies and social networking, we are still living in a world defined by Pop. Full of brand new interviews and research, Sooke describes the great works by Warhol, Lichtenstein and other key figures, but also re-examines the movement for the 21st century and asks if it is still art? He reveals a global story, tracing Pop's surprising origins in 19th-century Paris to uncovering the forgotten female artists of the 1960s.

L’orthodoxie économiste s’obstine à imposer le modèle d’un individu décideur rationnel, qui maximise ses revenus à force de calculs régis par le souci de son intérêt bien entendu. Opérant un changement d’échelle radical, « L’économie contre elle-même » soutient plutôt que le néolibéralisme se fonde aux niveaux infra- et trans-individuel, sur une interaction complexe entre(...)

Summary:
L’orthodoxie économiste s’obstine à imposer le modèle d’un individu décideur rationnel, qui maximise ses revenus à force de calculs régis par le souci de son intérêt bien entendu. Opérant un changement d’échelle radical, « L’économie contre elle-même » soutient plutôt que le néolibéralisme se fonde aux niveaux infra- et trans-individuel, sur une interaction complexe entre rationnel et affectif. Brian Massumi insiste en effet sur la manière dont, en deçà du niveau individuel, les tendances et contre-tendances affectives d’un individu résonnent avec celles des autres pour amorcer et orienter l’action. Cette plongée vers l’infra-économie des affects entraîne une recomposition conceptuelle de toutes les dynamiques sociales : là se dessinent les mouvements des corps sensibles et se constitue la volonté, mais surtout, là se crée l’action de transformation sociale. Empruntant à Hume, Foucault, Deleuze, Spinoza et Luhmann, L’économie contre elle-même a l’ambition de déployer une nouvelle théorie de l’économie politique.

Summary:
György Kepes, figure importante du modernisme de l’après-guerre, a connu une carrière singulière. D’abord formé auprès de Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, il fut enseignant au New Bauhaus de Chicago avant de devenir professeur au prestigieux MIT. À la fois artiste peintre, photographe, éditeur, curateur, enseignant et designer, Kepes voua sa vie à l’humanisme scientifique à travers l’étude des formes. Ce livre vise à rendre compte de manière extensive et pour la première fois en langue française de la richesse de la carrière de Kepes. Examinant tour à tour son parcours et son travail à travers les prismes de la psychologie de la forme, de la cybernétique et de l’ornement, Jean-Marie Bolay propose une lecture originale de l’oeuvre de Kepes, et rend justice à son rôle de pionnier de la pensée écologique.

Summary:
Five Portraits of the Insane by the nineteenth century French artist Théodore Géricault are said to be all that remain of originally ten commissioned portraits of insane patients. Each painting depicts a particular mental condition, a so-called monomania including a kleptomaniac, a woman mad with envy, a child kidnapper. Almost nothing is known about these portraits, but they raise a multitude of questions. Who are these people? In what way are they insane? What and where are the five missing madnesses? Intrigued and inspired by an absence, Tan decides to go in search of them. Pairing personal impressions with formal analysis and archival research, the essay ventures far beyond the boundaries of art history. Written by Fiona Tan during a fellowship as artist-in-residence at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles.

Summary:
For thirty-five years ''Visual Thinking'' has been the gold standard for art educators, psychologists, and general readers alike. In this seminal work, Arnheim, author of ''The Dynamics of Architectural Form'', ''Film as Art'', ''Toward a Psychology of Art'', and ''Art and Visual Perception'', asserts that all thinking (not just thinking related to art) is basically perceptual in nature, and that the ancient dichotomy between seeing and thinking, between perceiving and reasoning, is false and misleading. An indis-pensable tool for students and for those interested in the arts.
