Durant l'entre-deux-guerres, l'habitat bruxellois connaît une expansion considérable. Coexistent à cette époque deux grands courants : l'un résolument moderniste et avant-gardiste, dans la mouvance du Stijl et du Bauhaus, et inspiré par des novateurs, tels Walter Gropius ou Le Corbusier ; l'autre, à la fois réaction à l'Art nouveau et son prolongement naturel... qui se(...)

Summary:
Durant l'entre-deux-guerres, l'habitat bruxellois connaît une expansion considérable. Coexistent à cette époque deux grands courants : l'un résolument moderniste et avant-gardiste, dans la mouvance du Stijl et du Bauhaus, et inspiré par des novateurs, tels Walter Gropius ou Le Corbusier ; l'autre, à la fois réaction à l'Art nouveau et son prolongement naturel... qui se verra consacré lors de l'Exposition des Arts décoratifs, en 1925, à Paris. Cette évolution formelle s'appuie sur un progrès technique dans de nombreux domaines et sur la mise en œuvre de matériaux nouveaux, béton armé, brique de verre, acier, aluminium. Dans le même temps, l'habitat lui-même s'enrichit du concept de cité-jardin et voit se multiplier les immeubles d'appartements. Tous ces aspects - conceptuels, formels, stylistiques, techniques, culturels et sociaux - sont illustrés dans le présent ouvrage par des intérieurs choisis pour leur pertinence, tant des hôtels de prestige que des logements plus modestes, tous représentatifs de la façon de vivre et de l'art de construire de cet âge d'or. Illustré, cet ouvrage présente des intérieurs bruxellois typiques de l'entre-deux-guerres et d'aujourd'hui ;et y restitue dans toutes ses composantes le contexte de leur développement.

Summary:
Simon Dybbroe M0ller's first monograph folds Modernist art history into something new. His interest stems in part from personal nostalgia and in part from intellectual fascination; he once told an interviewer, "You and I grew up in a society where a certain kind of provincial Modernism has had a major influence on how schools are constructed and everything. Furthermore, Modernism represents--and I guess it is almost a cliche to say--the last period of utopia, and a belief in actually producing truths." One installation, a darkened room with scattered light sources and projection screens, recalls both a party and the fusty setting of an academic conference; in another, a portrait of Le Corbusier emerges from a stain in the ceiling. Frieze magazine has called Moller's celebration of both the past and the uninterrupted march of artistic progress "a welcome alternative to thinking about art history as a daunting public library with strict rules for readers."

Summary:
This book presents an essential selection from the portfolio of Emilio Duhart H. (1917-2006), a pivotal figure in Chilean architecture. Interweaving episodes from his life and work with the expansion of the modern movement as a global phenomenon, this chronicle places Duhart at the center of an ongoing dialogue between the universal precepts of modernism and the specificities of the Chilean cultural landscape. From his early contact with Walter Gropius in the 1940s to his collaboration with Le Corbusier in the 1950s, Duhart crafted an architectural narrative that not only adopted the ideas of modernism but transformed them, translating them into a language deeply tied to the local circumstances. Duhart’s personal and professional trajectory offers a fascinating perspective for understanding the global expansion of modern architecture, exploring themes central to its dissemination, such as migration, education, social class, housing, and urban challenges. In this light, his life and work are presented as a matrix rich in connections, capable of dialogue with other emblematic cases worldwide.

Covering the entire history of art, from Paleolithic cave painting to contemporary art, it provides foundational guidance on the basic character and techniques of the different art forms, on the various genres of painting in the Western tradition, and on the techniques of sculpture as they have been practiced over several millennia and across a wide range of cultures. Throughout the book, Harrison discusses the relative priorities of aesthetic appreciation and historical inquiry, and the importance of combining the two approaches. Written in a style that is at once graceful, engaging, and personal, as well as analytical and exact, this illuminating book offers an impassioned and timely defense of the importance and value of the firsthand encounter with works of art, whether in museums or in their original locations.

Summary:
James Stirling`s partnership with James Gowan between 1956 and 1963 put postwar British architecture on the international map, and their Leicester University Engineering Building became an iconic monument for a new kind of modernism. Mark Crinson's book is the most thoroughly researched study of Stirling and Gowan's partnership to date. Based on extensive interviews and archival research, Crinson argues that their work was the product of two equally creative partners whose different concerns produced a dynamic aesthetic. He gives an in-depth account of their training and early careers, their relation to key architects and movements of the time, and the commissioning, design, and construction of their work. This critical reassessment dispels previous myths and inaccuracies regarding their partnership and analyzes how ideas about mannerism, modernism, nostalgia, community, consumerism, Victorian cities, and institutional typologies influenced their designs. Stirling and Gowan positions their avant-garde creations within a larger context as creative responses to Britain's postwar deindustrialization and the shift from austerity to affluence.

Summary:
Partners in Design, which accompanies an exhibition opening at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in April 2016, chronicles their collaboration, placing it in the larger context of the avant-garde in New York—1930s salons where they mingled with Julien Levy, the gallerist who brought Surrealism to the United States, and Lincoln Kirstein, co-founder of the New York City Ballet; their work to help Bauhaus artists like Josef and Anni Albers escape Nazi Germany—and the dissemination of their ideas across the United States through MoMA’s traveling exhibition program. Illustrated with icons of modernist design, MoMA installation views, and previously unpublished images of the Barr and Johnson apartments—domestic laboratories for modernism, and in Johnson’s case, designed and furnished by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—this fascinating study sheds new light on the introduction and success in North America of a new kind of modernism, thanks to the combined efforts of two uniquely discerning and influential individuals.
