Adamczyk

Opis długiego i burzliwego życia zapomnianego polskiego malarza na tle historii Europy. Urodził się w roku 1876 w Lęborku w niemiecko-polskiej rodzinie. Artystyczną karierę rozpoczął wśród bohemy w Liverpoolu, wojnę spędził w Wolnym Mieście Gdańsku, po wyzwoleniu osiadł w Sopocie. Zawsze był postacią barwną i kontrowersyjną. Zmarł w roku 1974 w nędzy i osamotnieniu. Jego twórczość została ponownie odkryta dopiero niedawno, ale kolejne wystawy w Polsce i za granicą potwierdzają, że należał do najciekawszych polskich twórców przełomu wieków.

"Andy Warhol Now" is the catalogue for the retrospective at the Musem Ludwig in Cologne, which impressively illustrates his status as a Pop Art icon with 100 works, but includes his migrant background and homosexuality with a contemporary view.

As an underground art star, Andy Warhol was the antidote to the macho American postwar art scene who redefinded the language of painting, sculpture and film. This humanistic re-visioning explores his background as a child of an emigrant family, his ideas about death and religion and his queer perspective, revealing an artist who both succeeded and failed in equal measure and whose work marked a period of cultural transformation that still resonated today. Exploring Warhol's knowing flirtation with the commercial world of celebrity alongside his advocacy of alternative lifestyles, it presents his work within the the context of his time in a way that connects to contemporary concerns.

Including a unique contribution from writer Olivia Laing, an artist's response from Martine Sims and an exclusive interview with former Factory insider, Bob Colacello, this book returns Warhol to the shifting creative and political landscape in which he lived, and highlights how he and his work marked a period of cultural transformation.

Contributors include Kenneth Brummel, Stephan Diederich, Diedrich Diederichsen, Olivia Laing, Fiontán Moran, Gregor Muir, Charlie Porter, Martine Syms

Udostępnione publicznie w 1805 roku przez Stanisława Kostkę Potockiego i jego żonę Aleksandrę z Lubomirskich zbiory dzieł sztuki zwane Kolekcją Wilanowską zawierają kolekcję malarstwa różnych epok historycznych. Tworzona w trudnym dla polskiej kultury okresie porozbiorowym galeria miała za zadanie z jednej strony odbudowanie pamięci o zwycięskim królu Janie Sobieskim, a z drugiej przedstawienie dziejów sztuki światowej. Ten dualizm z powodzeniem kontynuowali następni właściciele Wilanowa. Prezentowana obecnie w Muzeum Pałacu Króla Jana III w Wilanowie kolekcja należy do nielicznych w Polsce, które przetrwały tragiczne losy kraju w XIX i XX wieku.

The great Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/31-1569) was an astoundingly inventive painter and draftsman, who made his art historical mark with beautiful, evocative landscapes as well as religious subjects, both notable for their vernacular language and attention to everyday, contemporary life. Immersing himself in rural or small-town communities, Bruegel is particularly notable for his depiction of peasant experience and folk culture, earning the artist nickname "Peasant Bruegel." Whether hunters shivering in the snow or a boisterous country fair, Bruegel raised the farming, festivals, gatherings, and games of peasant culture to the status of high art. Bruegel's imposing religious and moral subjects, meanwhile, such as The Triumph of Death and The Tower of Babel are as awestriking and influential today as they were in the 16th century, inspiring contemporary culture from The Lord of the Rings cinematic battle scenes to Don DeLillo's novel Underworld. From the corn harvest to the conversion of Saul, from quaint wedding processions to Christ's road to Calvary, this book brings together the rich range of Bruegel's subjects to introduce his powerful compositions of both biblical and earthly tableaux.
