In Cittagrave; Europea in Evoluzione lrsquo;architetto e urbanista Giuseppe Marinoni e il fotografo Giovanni Chiaramonte mostrano una significativa rassegna di quelle parti di cittagrave; sorte in seguito alla riqualificazione di aree industriali e frange infrastrutturali dismesse. Tali parti urbane esprimono ora densitagrave; di usi e significati; pluralismo morfologico e sociale; compresenza di fatti edilizi paesaggistici e infrastrutturali; aderendo ai principi di sostenibilitagrave; ambientale nella condivisione dei valori espressi dalla lsquo;cittagrave; compatta europearsquo;. Marinoni sostiene con profonda convinzione gli approcci del lsquo;progetto urbano coordinatorsquo;come strumento efficace alla trasformazione e innovazione urbana e paesaggistica di qualitagrave;; capace di agire in una dimensione processuale e di separatezza di tempi; poteri; discipline e competenze. Chiaramonte; attraverso la sua analitica fotografia; offre ai lettori vedute di realizzazioni architettoniche e infrastrutturali di tali progetti urbani europei; realizzati negli ultimi due decenni in Spagna; Paesi Bassi; Germania; Francia; Portogallo; Italia e Regno Unito.13 Milano Nuova Portello

Right out of the gate it grabbed me. I never knew there was a Degas that Manet messed up; and I felt like I was on the train privy to Sebastian Smees thoughts about the expectation of seeing a work of art. I never knew much about Bacon and Freud. I think I enjoyed the De Kooning/Pollack portion the best. I found the whole thing very interesting though; the angst involved in trying to push the envelope; and the crushing criticism over the new. To me; you either like it or you dont. You can have a DeKooing thats a woman big and crazy; but then the colors might make you want to eat it; they are so sumptuous. Pollack more interests me from his bad boy brawler personality more than his drip paintings. I found it interesting to read about his family background. Picasso; there is much of his work that gets me. I never ever cared for Les Demoiselles; but then when I stood in front of Seated Bather at MOMA it took my breath away. I LOVE Matisses work. Degas isnt necessarily my thing; but you cant get away from how great he was. It was interesting his relationship with Manet since he seemed to have a large personality and Degas; he seemed like a real curmudgeon; a drag to be around almost. I thought the writing was fluid; and I enjoyed Smees opinions; and his vocabulary. I have an extensive art book collection which I pore over from time to time; but with that; I still knew very little about the artists lives; and now; at least as far as these 8 artists go; I feel much better informed!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Artists and their Creative ContextBy L. BrannelArt history--the paintings are put in the context of the life story; the rivals output; and the stage in career development. To me the most important learning was that these gifted artists struggled in life to find a style and/or technique to distinguish their own work and to break into the marketplace with collectors and galleries and the media. One of the best books Ive read about artists and their creative development. Highly recommended.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
