A Queer Little History of Art
Alex Pilcher · 2017
<p><b>A celebration of over 100 years of queer creativity, featuring 70 outstanding works of drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and installation.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Over the last century, many artists have made works that challenge dominant models of gender and sexuality. The results can be sexy or serious, satirical or tender, discreetly coded or defiantly outspoken. This beautiful book illustrates the wide variety of queer art from around the world - exploring bodies and identity, love and desire, prejudice and protest through drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and installation.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 70 outstanding works - from 1900 to the present - reveal how queer experiences have differed across time and place, and how art has been part of a story of changing attitudes and emerging identities. Featuring works by, among others, Egon Schiele, Duncan Grant, Claude Cahun, Hannah Hoch, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, Glenn Ligon, Zanele Muholi, Allyson Mitchell and Tomoko Kashiki - all of whom subverted the norms of their day via bold, new forms of expression, <i>A Queer Little History of Art</i> is a celebration of over 100 years of queer creativity.</p>

New Aesthetic 3
unknown author
"Design and art are constantly evolving. In both professions, we either risk that our work is transforming into artifacts from a previous period or we can embrace change, encourage experiments and produce more meaningful results. New Aesthetic is looking at experimental and independent type design as an intersection of art and design. Typography has established itself in our graphic work culture as an essential component -- whether in print or on screen -- serving to strengthen visual messages. The traditional form of type was built around the way we read and write. However, we live in a time of transformation and adaption: Our world is experiencing great changes and our habits shift to accommodate new technologies as they appear. As designers, our creative process mirrors how we use our imagination to shape modern visual communication, it brings in a dash of visual surprise, and breaks the conventions we are used to. What if we saw typography in a more playful context, and not necessarily as a final outcome but rather an experimental process? There is potential in blurring and obfuscating the lines of legibility and practicality, pushing the boundaries of emotional expressiveness and allowing for unusual approaches in modern design. Typographic systems can be read in different ways, and every designer is using different styles and is forming new shapes and meanings for users and readers to interpret. The way typefaces interact with individual words can be considered an art form in itself. New Aesthetic is interested in creating an environment where the expressive side of typography design comes together and strives for original solutions instead of seeking traditional perfection"--The editors.

Leonhard Laupichler, Sophia Brinkgerd
"Dive deep into contemporary type design and visual communication with our New Aesthetic bundle. This collection brings together the first three volumes of the acclaimed series, offering a comprehensive exploration of experimental and independent type design. New Aesthetic looks at experimental and independent type design as an intersection of art and design. Typography has established itself in our increasingly graphic culture as an essential component--whether in print or on screen--serving to strengthen visual messages. The traditional form of type was built around the way we read and write. We live in a time of transformation and adaption, however: our world is experiencing great changes and habits now accommodate new technologies as they appear. What if we saw typography in a more playful context? Not necessarily as a final outcome but rather an experimental process? There is potential in blurring and obfuscating the lines of legibility and practicality, pushing the boundaries of emotional expressiveness and allowing for unusual approaches in modern design. New Aesthetic is interested in creating an environment where the expressive side of typography design is celebrated, with attention paid to innovative solutions as well as creative ambition"--Distributor's website.

The Second Sex
Simone de Beauvoir · 2012
The essential masterwork that has provoked and inspired generations of men and women. “From Eve’s apple to Virginia Woolf’s room of her own, Beauvoir’s treatise remains an essential rallying point, urging self-sufficiency and offering the fruit of knowledge.” —Vogue This unabridged edition reinstates significant portions of the original French text that were cut in the first English translation. Vital and groundbreaking, Beauvoir’s pioneering and impressive text remains as pertinent today as when it was first published, and will continue to provoke and inspire generations of men and women to come.
