May 1884 saw the publication in Paris of a fin de siecle novel that became a perverse sensation on the European cultural scene. A Rebours (translated both as Against the Grain and Against Nature) by Joris-Karl Huysmans was written as a seductive textbook of decadence, an antidote to the banality of the dominant literary styles, Naturalism and Realism. Symbolism, whose influence would endure well into the modernist era, was an artistic religion-substitute, a spiritually charged cult of beauty. A Symbolist picture or sculpture is deliberately mysterious. In place of intellectual comprehension, the work seeks to have the beholder experience its esoteric depths like a vision. It is no wonder that Symbolists created some of the most fascinating artworks of their age. Featured artists: Arnold Bocklin, Edward Burne-Jones, Puvis de Chavannes, Thomas Cole, Jean Delville, Maurice Denis, James Ensor, George Frampton, Paul Gauguin, Ferdinand Hodler, Ernst Josephson, Fernand Khnopff, Gustav Klimt, Max Klinger, Georg Kolbe, Frantisek Kupka, Frederick Lord Leighton, Jacek Malczewski, Hans von Marees, James Abbot McNeill Whistler, Piet Mondrian, Gustave Moreau, Edvard Munch, Nestor, William Degouve de Nunques, Pablo Picasso, Odilon Redon, Felicien Rops, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Giovanni Segantini, Charles van der Stappen, Franz von Stuck, Felix Vallotton, Elihu Vedder, and Georg Frederick Watts.

War ein deutscher Maler, der durch grobe Wand- und Deckengemalde mit geschichtlichem Inhalt und llteraturillustrationen bekannt wurde. 1839/40 Beafturagte ihn der Stuttgarter verleger Georg von Cotta Johann Wolfgang von Goethes Reinecke Fuchs zu illustrieren. Angeregt von William Hogarth und Grandville schuf Kaulbach bis 1847 36 Hauptbilder und zahlreiche Vignetten, die von Hans Rudolf Rahn und Adrian Schleich gestochen wurden. Die verbluffend vermenschlichte animierung der Tierwelt zeigte Kaulbachs zweite kunstlerische Seite, einen Humor, der ihn uber seine Beruhmtheit als Historienmaler hinaus popular machte. In den 1850er Jahren begannen die Arbeiten an den erneut sehr popularen Illustrationen zur Goethe-Galerie des Verlecers Friedrich Bruckmann. Vor dem Jahr 1878 wurde in Berlin-Lankwitz eine Strabe nach ihm benannt.

Немецкий скульптор Георг Кольбе (1877-1947) вошел в историю искусства 1-й половины ХХ столетия как один из самых талантливых учеников и продолжателей поисков великого Огюста Родена в европейской фигуративной пластике. Сферой творческого внимания Г. Кольбе оставались с начала 1910-х гг. преимущественно обнаженная человеческая фигура, а также танец в исполнении знаменитых моделей - русских балетных танцовщиков В. Нежинского и Т. Карсавиной, мастеров эстрадного танца стиля модерн из разных стран (Ж. Бейкер, М. Вигман, Т. Шоуна, Г. Палукки, Ш. Бара, и многих других). В книге представлено также графическое наследие Кольбе - рисунки с обнаженной натуры, иллюстрации к Фаусту В. Гёте и Гимнам к Ночи Ф. Новалиса, станковая печатная графика и живопись 1890-1900-х гг.

Google Earths ancestor: a snapshot of urban life, circa 1600 Historys most opulent collection of town maps and illustrations The complete reprint of all 363 color plates from Braun and Hogenbergs survey of town maps, city views, and plans of Europe, Africa, Asia and Central America, with dozens of unusual details, as well as selected extracts from the original text and an in-depth commentary. First published in Cologne 1572-1617. More than four centuries after the first volume was originally published in Cologne, Braun and Hogenbergs magnificent collection of town map engravings, Civitates orbis terrarum, has been brought back to life with this reprint taken from a rare and superbly preserved original set of six volumes, belonging to the Historische Museum in Frankfurt. Produced between 1572 and 1617 - just before the extensive devastation wreaked by the Thirty Years War - the work contains 564 plans, birds-eye views, and map views of all major cities in Europe, plus important cities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Edited and annotated by theologian and publisher Georg Braun, and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, the Civitates was intended as a companion volume for Abraham Orteliuss 1570 world atlas, Theatrum orbis terrarum. Over a hundred different artists and cartographers contributed to the sumptuous artwork, which not only shows the towns but also features additional elements, such as figures in local dress, ships, ox-drawn carts, courtroom scenes, and topographical details, that help convey the situation, commercial power, and political importance of the towns they accompany. The Civitates gives us a comprehensive view of urban life at the turn of the 17th century. TASCHENs reprint includes all of the city plates, accompanied by selected extracts from Brauns texts on the history and contemporary significance of each urban center as well as translations of the Latin cartouches. A detailed commentary places each city map in its cartographical and cultural context, and examines earlier sources and later editions. Rounding off this comprehensive publication is a separate introductory essay examining the Civitates in its cultural and historical context. From Paris and London to Cairo and Jerusalem, readers will find many a familiar city to zoom back in time to and explore - in fact, many of the maps can still be used for orientation in historical town centers today. The author: Stephan Fussel is director of the Institute for Book Sciences at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, and holder of the Gutenberg Chair at the same university. He has published prolifically on the early days of printing, the sale and publication of books between the 18th and 20th centuries, and the future of communications.
