Die Renaissance begann gegen Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts in Italien und breitete sich bis zur zweiten Hauml;lfte des 16. Jahrhunderts uuml;ber ganz Europa aus. Die Wiederentdeckung der Pracht des griechischen und rouml;mischen Altertums markierte den Beginn der Wiedergeburt der Kuuml;nste nach dem Zusammenbruch der dogmatischen Gewissheiten des Mittelalters. Eine ganze Reihe von Kuuml;nstlern entwickelte in Malerei; Bildhauerei und Architektur Innovationen. Mit der Darstellung von Idealen und der Wirklichkeit; des Heiligen und des Profanen; etablierte die Bewegung einen Rahmen; der die europauml;ische Kunst und Kultur der folgenden vier Jahrhunderte prauml;gte.Leonardo da Vinci; Michelangelo; Botticelli; Fra Angelico; Giorgione; Mantegna; Raffael; Duuml;rer und Bruegel sind Kuuml;nstler; die einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Kunst der Renaissance leisteten.

I recommended this to all my workshop and seminar attendees; until it became out of print. Since then Jan has written many other books -- but never updated this one. Then; just last week this new edition arrived in the Design Bookshelf mail box and we all rejoiced.What the publisher says really doesnt do the book justice. Here is page after page of doodles; sketches and ideas all penned by Jan himself. Its pure visual brainstorming thats been organized into a form that is both inspiring and entertaining. Its a joy just to thumb through the pages. Many of the ideas are classics... others are quirkish twists on visual and word plays.Jan says:Some of the captions identify or describe the images themselves; some are possible interpretations of an abstract concept or metaphor. All are just stabs at meaning. None claims to be the right one or the only one; because theres no such thing. Interpret them -- or twist them -- to fit your story. Their only purpose is to trigger a thought and spark an idea; which is the purpose of this book as a whole."First there are ideas in cliches. Then ideas in mime -- gestures; body language or expressions. From there through time; then facts and figures and ending with my favorite; type and typography. He even provides you with an extensive list of printing terms in six languages.Theres no index. Who needs an index? Besides; since when could you index ideas? Yet the book is ultimately flippable -- any page you land on has a good idea. His notations are delightfully informal yet engaging.If you need ideas. If you need creative sparks. This is the place to look. The best part is how much youll enjoy looking. And dont be surprised if you find many more creative ideas than you thought you needed.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Oldie but goodieBy seaTLe TLAn oldie but goodie.
