Subverting stereotypical images of women, a new generation of feminist artists is remaking the pin-up, much as Annie Sprinkle, Cindy Sherman, and others did in the 1970s and 1980s. As shocking as contemporary feminist pin-ups are intended to be, perhaps more surprising is that the pin-up has been appropriated by women for their own empowerment since its inception more than a century ago. "Pin-up Grrrls: Feminism, Sexuality, Popular Culture" tells the history of the pin-up from its birth, revealing how its development is intimately connected to the history of feminism. Maria Elena Buszek documents the genre's 150-year history with more than 100 illustrations, many never before published. Beginning with the pin-up's origins in mid-nineteenth-century carte-de-visite photographs of burlesque performers, Buszek explores how female sex symbols, including Adah Isaacs Menken and Lydia Thompson, fought to exert control over their own images. Buszek analyzes the evolution of the pin-up...

In this book, 37 of Mucha's spectacularly sensuous and popular designs offer superb inspiration for artists and designers.

Included are such celebrated Mucha designs as those for Job's cigarette papers, Sarah Bernhardt in "La Dame aux Cornelias", and Salon des Cent, as well as many of his decorative pictorial compositions. Ideal as an artistic and design resource, "Art Nouveau Figurative Designs" will also appeal to colorists intrigued by the ever-popular Art Nouveau Style. Формат издания: 21 см х 27,5 см.
A visual tribute to the printed word, this delicious ode to the book won awards and critical praise when first published in an oversized format in 2002. Now in a smaller gift book format, Morell's elegant photographs of books highlight the grace and sensuality of the printed page. Unusual books are featured, like a leather-bound volume that is smaller than a paper clip, an impossibly large dictionary, and illustrated books whose characters appear to leap off the page. Morell has photographed the endless ocean of books in a library and the strikingly beautiful way in which weathered and water-damaged books take on sculptural form.

Crackling with sexual tension, comic flourishes, macabre drama, and science fiction clich?s, rock posters are as vibrant and varied as the music they celebrate-and more popular today than ever. With imagery that ranges from eye-popping and crassly outrageous to subtle and esoteric, these graphic manifestos of rock rebellion have matured into a full-blown phenomenon, four decades after the first great wave of rock art roared out of San Francisco in the 1960s.
