This slim but elegant exhibition catalog includes multiple fold-outs and mylar inserts to accurately reproduce the young Berlin-based artist's extraordinary ''narrative clouds'' as curator Christian Ganzenberg describes them in one of several outstanding texts. He lauds the artist's ''exuberant richness of detail'' and the ''precise almost Old Master-like alignment and the unusual saturation of the depths.'' Scrap-metal yards destroyed cars insects birds waterfalls exploding machines fish scales tentacles cells cables: Krieg herself can barely describe her inspirations for these works which are at once abstract and figurative. . 2012. 3940953989 .

1999rif. 101586Yale University Press. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 380 pages. -- with a bonus offer--; In its golden years of the Baroque era Poland expressed creative ties to east and west in extraordinary works of fine and decorative art. This gorgeously illustrated book displays more than 150 works of art that celebrate the cross-cultural richness of Poland's creative output during this period. From the dramatic uniform of the winged Hussar complete with feathers and leopard skin to traditional portraits of royalty to a Turkish-style beverage service these splendid objects represent Poland's diversity and breadth at a time when it was the largest land empire in Europe stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The book addresses five areas of Polish culture in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. The first section on the monarchy features objects relating to the kings who ruled during the period. The second section of the book is devoted to the magnate class and the objects that were typically seen in a nobleman's home. The third part presents religious artworks highlighted by an important seventeenth-century painting of Our Lady of Czestochowa. The section on the military focusing on the cavalry offers highly decorated battle regalia weapons and a Turkish tent. With gilded cups clocks decanters and more the decorative arts section of the book provides outstanding examples of the cross-cultural tenor of the Baroque era. The volume includes essays that set the art of Poland in the context of its history geography and culture; a timeline of major events; a map of the Polish Commonwealth; a glossary; a useful bibliography; and an index of exhibited works. . 1999. 0300079184 .
