CHINESE GRAPHIC DESIGN I.T.20TH CENTURY - Minic, Scott

From posters and advertisements to book covers and magazines, this volume presents a dazzling panoply of graphics, brilliantly uncovered by the authors from long-forgotten sources, mostly in China itself, after surviving innumerable upheavals: natural catastrophes, war and revolution. Beginning with the basic traditions of Chinese graphics, the authors show how the writer and artist Lu Xun became the centre of cultural revival in the new China. We see Art Deco making its mark in the Shanghai Style, and the birth of a national design aesthetic, born of Russian Constructivism and Chinas own drive for new technology. The Socialist Realist art of Mao in turn adopted folk traditions to fuel the Revolutionary machine, while the continuing search for a new identity can be seen in the graphic images of protest from the summer of 1989. Throughout, creative design ideas are expressed with a freshness and vitality that recalls the beauty and character of Chinas own traditions. The results are not only a clear commentary on Chinas recent history and culture, but a revelation forWestern designers seeking to adopt traditional visual languages.

WOOD - Goldsworthy, Andy

In this remarkable book, artist Andy Goldsworthy offers a compelling look at the essence of wood as he has come to know it through his sculpture. Expanding upon the themes and preoccupations explored in his previous books, Goldsworthy evokes ideas of growth, perpetual change and transformation through works made of leaves, branches, ice, snow, boulders and sand. Much of his art is ephemeral: what has been drawn from nature will eventually merge with it again. The artist's photographs, superbly reproduced here, capture the moment at which each work came alive for him through a particular quality of light, a precise stage in melting, or the blowing of the wind.

LIGHTART. TARGETTI LIGHT COLLECTION - Barzel, Amnon

Light art is a current in contemporary art that uses artificial light as its primary expressive tool. This volume examines how investigation into the chromatic values of light has been carried out throughout the history of art from the very beginning up until the most recent developments, recalling milestones such as Caravaggio and George de La Tour for internal light and the impressionist movement for external light, thus underlining how the invention of artificial light enriched the relationship between art and light in a new and fascinating chapter that was opened in the fifties by the experiments of artists such as Lucio Fontana, Dan Flavin and Mario Merz. the introductory text is followed by an essay by Paolo Targetti on the fundamental role played by the relationship between art and industry in contemporary art and an extended interview by Consuelo de Gara with James Turrell, the American artist unanimously considered the greatest master of light art. The second section instead is devoted to the Targetti Light Art Collection, one of the world's most prestigious collections of artificial light. The images and descriptions of each one of the works are accompanied by retrospective critical texts on the artists who created the works. Among the artists presented here are figures of extreme importance such as Olafur Eliasson, Gilberto Zorio, Anne and Patrick Poirier, Fabrizio Plessi and Hidetoshi Nagasawa, as well as emerging talents, winners of the four editions of the international Targetti Light Art award.
