The 1930s was a turbulent decade across the world with the rise of totalitarian governments, the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the start of World War II, and the constant migration of artists as part of evolving social, economic and political geographies that were marked by utopian dreams and devastating upheavals. This book approaches the 1930s and seeks to explore the microhistories that detail the movement of artists across borders, the potential transformation of artistic styles and the concurrent struggle to preserve old networks amidst the creation of new communities in often radically new contexts of artistic production. Touching on the works of Cartier-Bresson, Max Ernst, Miro, Picasso, and many more, as well as examining aspects of Surrealism, Abstraction, propaganda and photography, this is an insightful account of one of the most turbulent decades in the history of art.
Beautifully designed and expertly produced, this first full-scale presentation and international survey of Art Deco graphics will be welcomed by professional designers, collectors, photographers, students, and scholars. 474 illustrations, 246 in full color.
The news media have given us potent demonstrations of the ambiguity of ostensibly truthful representations of public events. Jordana Mendelson uses this ambiguity as a framework for the study of Spanish visual culture from 1929 to 1939--a decade marked, on the one hand, by dictatorship, civil war, and Franco's rise to power and, on the other, by a surge in the production of documentaries of various types, from films and photographs to international exhibitions. Mendelson begins with an examination of El Pueblo Español, a model Spanish village featured at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. She then discusses Buñuel's and Dalí's documentary films, relating them not only to French Surrealism but also to issues of rural tradition in the formation of regional and national identities. Her highly original book concludes with a discussion of the 1937 Spanish Pavilion, where Picasso's famed painting of the Fascist bombing of a Basque town--Guernica--was exhibited along with monumental photomurals by Josep Renau. Based upon years of archival research, Mendelson's book opens a new perspective on the cultural politics of a turbulent era in modern Spain. It explores the little-known yet rich intersection between avant-garde artists and government institutions. It shows as well the surprising extent to which Spanish modernity was fashioned through dialogue between the seemingly opposed fields of urban and rural, fine art, and mass culture.

For the first time, a comprehensive exploration of Dora Maar’s enigmatic photography reveals her as an extraordinary and influential artist in her own right. Dora Maar (born Henriette Théodora Markovitch, 1907–1997) was active at the height of Surrealism in France. She was recognized as a key member of the movement and maintained professional relationships with many of its prominent figures, such as André Breton, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Man Ray. However, her standing as the one-time muse and mistress of Pablo Picasso—his famous “Weeping Woman”—has long eclipsed her creative output and minimized her influence. Richly illustrated with 240 key works showcasing Maar’s inimitable acumen as a photographer, this book examines the full arc of her career for the very first time. Subjects include her innovative commercial and fashion photography, her approach to the nude and eroticism, engagement with political groups, interest in socially concerned photography, affiliation with the Surrealist movement, and hitherto unknown work from her reclusive late career, providing a dynamic and multifaceted examination of an important artist.
Design has an increasingly high profile - figures like Philippe Starck are as venerated and well known as more traditional artists. But where the literature on fine art is vast, design is still conparatively ill-served. This encyclopedia provides an account of the still largely unknown story of design.
