‎New York , Art Book Cologne, 2007 18 x 21,5 cm. 48 S. mit 27 vierfarb. Abb. Fester Einband. ISBN 9781597110532.‎

‎Thomas Allen (born 1963) selects the pulpiest of pulp paperbacks and then lovingly slices out a figure from the cover, gently folds it into position, and constructs a witty scene around it. In Thirst, a sultry dame reaches from her cover toward a guy with a bottle on a nearby volume; in Teeter a man careens toward the edge of a stack of paperbacks ready to topple. Inspired by a love of pop-up books, Allen revels in taking on different roles in creating his scenarios: In addition to being a photographer, I play talent scout, casting director, stage manager, lighting supervisor, and film editor.. He photographs these engaging tableaux in shallow focus, rendering his prints with the dreamy effect seen in the View-Master stereoscopic toy that also inspired him. Well suited to the three-dimensional heft of a board book, the images in Uncovered are combined into an almost toylike object that will delight photography lovers, graphic designers, and bibliophiles with a sense of humor. Text in englischer Sprache.‎

‎This book draws a lively portrait of a talented and uncompromising artist with an immense breadth of expression. Whether in unique pieces or industrial design, Gemzoe is always a master of her medium. Her werk makes the standard question - whether weaving is art or craft - very much beside the point. Jette Gemzoe's feeling for the textile is unique and magical.‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2000 Paperback, 296 p., ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503507316.‎

‎This publication on Flemish painting deals with those elements of the social and intellectual context which played a role in the realisation of any work of art, the concrete steps taken within a workshop in preparing for the production of the work, and the production through to completion of the draft. Part One,Concept, deals with those elements of the social and intellectual context which played a role in the realisation of any work of art. This section therefore examines individual motivations and the intellectual background of artists and their patrons, as also their institutional context and working conditions. Part Two,Design, examines the concrete steps taken within a workshop in preparing for the production of a work of art. These include the use of study materials, such as collections of exempla, as well as the stages of work required to make exploratory sketches, the finished draft and thence its transfer to the definitive medium to be used. Part Three,Execution, focuses on the production through to completion of the draft on its support medium. This may be done by the artist himself, or through one or other method of sharing the work, such as the employing of assistants or specialists. Introduction by Frans Baudouin. I. CONCEPT Carl Van de Velde, Status quaestionis; Elisabeth McGrath, Personifying new ideas: the influence of books and humanism on the invention of allegorical figures; Fiona Healy, The satus of mythological painting in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Flanders; Jeffrey Muller, The use of art by confraternities in the St.Jacob's church, Antwerp; Christine Van Mulders, Peter Paul Rubens en Jan Breughel I: de drijfveren van hun samenwerking.

‎Le style Art Deco, extraordinaire foisonnement d'idees et d'audaces, a succede aux floraisons lyriques qui, sous le nom d'Art Nouveau ou encore de Modern Style, ont marque le passage du XIXe siecle au XXe siecle. Sans presumer de l'avenir, on peut dire qu'il constitue la derniere expression vraiment originale de l'art francais avant l'eclectisme et l'internationalisation - on dirait aujourd'hui la mondialisation - de la seconde moitie du siecle. Cette nouvelle version du Mobilier Art Deco - publie pour la premiere fois en 1981 - reprend l'essentiel des textes des editions precedentes, y compris le chapitre sur les paquebots ajoute en 1990. Toutefois, nombre de notices ont ete completees. L'illustration a fait l'objet d'une reactualisation grace a l'apport de photographies en couleurs.‎

‎, Stichting Kunstboek BVBA, 2012 Hardback, 260x210mm, 160p, 100 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9789058564085.‎

‎Dirk Wynants (? 1964) is de oprichter en eigenaar van het vernieuwende Belgische meubelmerk Extremis. Hij is tegelijk de belangrijkste ontwerper van het merk en de bedenker van het briljante branding concept "Tools for Togetherness". Het unieke succesverhaal van Extremis, dat op enkele jaren tijd een internationale reputatie verwierf als trendsetter op het gebied van buitenmeubilair, is sterk gelinkt aan de bevlogen persoonlijkheid en veelzijdige talenten van deze ontwerper-ondernemer, die het klappen van de zweep al heel jong leerde als zoon van een meubelmaker-schrijnwerker. Meer dan wie ook laat hij zich inspireren door een geengageerde visie op design. Hij heeft een duidelijke boodschap. Design is niet zomaar een kwestie van stijliconen of glamourdingen, maar veel meer van innovatieve oplossingen die van de wereld hopelijk een betere plek kunnen maken, vandaar de titel Design Works? Overtuigd maar ook altijd met de moed om vraagtekens te plaatsen. Sinds 2007 bestaat Dirk Wynants Design Works of (dw)2 autonoom en staat het naast Extremis ook open voor externe ontwerpopdrachten. Dirk Wynants sleepte sinds de start van Extremis in 1994 talloze internationale onderscheidingen in de wacht. Van de meest prestigieuze designerkenningen tot awards voor design management, algemeen management en export (waaronder Henry van de Velde Awards, Interior Innovation Award, (IMM Koln), Red Dot Award, International Excellence Design Award). As a son of a cabinet maker, Dirk Wynants (? 1964), was brought up with a nose for good design and a healthy dose of entrepreneurship. He studied interior and furniture design at Sint-Lucas School for Architecture in Ghent (Belgium) and was involved in the distribution of international design brands, until he established Extremis (1994), a label and brand for his own designs. Extremis' outdoor furniture designs quickly grew into an international standard of excellence. Not only the design collection itself has been applauded and awarded many times (with several Henry van de Velde Awards, Interior Innovation Award, (IMM Koln 2005), Red Dot Award 2005, International Excellence Design Award 2007, ao.), the expertise of Extremis in the field of design management, general management and export was praised just as well. In 2007 the creative unit of Extremis continued under the name Dirk Wynants Design Works = (dw)?, to enable the company to take on external design tasks. Dirk Wynants is still managing director and main designer of Extremis, but is also working closely together with other internationally renowned designers.‎

‎Wall, as an essential element in space design, not only serves as partition between human being and noisy outside, but the carrier of distinctive creations. Wall decoration, a special embodiment of designers unique life experience and aesthetic taste, has undergone great changes and evolved into diverse forms with the advancement of human civilization, for example, from the vivid picture created by our ancestors on the wall of the cave to the relieve fresco indicative of the endless desire for power, the Pompeii fresco featuring gorgeous colours and romantic sentiment in old Roman times to the modern ones full of personality.In addition, the materials used for wall decoration are diversified, from the crafted tapestry and ceramic tile in the past to wallpaper and paint prevalent in modern time, and also represent the special culture and custom of a certain country or religion. Take the wallpaper for an example. In German, it tends to be modern and simple in style; in UK, with profound neo-classical feature; in France and Italy, with romantic sentiment and of post-modernism; in America, of pure rural style.The book Wall Decoration is categorized into nine parts, Wall Paper, Wall Picture, Wall Painting, Wall Sticker, Paint, Wooden Decoration, Stone Decoration, Glass Decoration, and Mosaic, based on the different forms and materials in wall design.‎
