Yale University Press, June 2015. Hardcover. New. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) became notorious for the declarations he made about the end of painting, encouraging artists to exchange brush, pigment, and canvas for camera, film, and searchlight. Even as he made these radical claims, he painted throughout his career. The practice of painting enabled Moholy-Nagy to imagine generative relationships between art and technology, and to describe the shape that future possibilities might take. Joyce Tsai illuminates the evolution of painting's role for Moholy-Nagy through key periods in his career: at the German Bauhaus in the 1920s, in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in the early 1930s, and as director of the New Bauhaus in Chicago in the last decade of his life. The book also includes an introduction to the history, qualities, and significance of plastic materials that Moholy-Nagy used over the course of his career, and an essay on how his project of shaping habitable space in his art and writing resonated with artists and industrial designers in the 1960s and 1970s. 'This book accompanies the exhibition The Paintings of Moholy-Nagy: The Shape of Things to Come, presented at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, California, from July 5 to September 27, 2015.', Yale University Press, Stuttgart/Berlin Arnoldsche Art Publishers/Dieter Enke 2009. Bound, hard cover, original editor's jacket illustrated in colour, 24.3x24.3 cm., 200 pp., English text, German translation on Cd, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9783897902992. Andries Dirk Copier (1901-1991) is the best known 20th-century Dutch glass artist and a precursor of the international studio glass movement. At the age of twenty-seven, he was already managing the Leerdam Glass Factory, the largest of its kind in the Netherlands. There he was able to freely develop aesthetically alongside extensive work in designing utilitarian glass, to experiment with forms and colours and try out recently discovered techniques. The works that grew out of that artistic experimentation are called Unica. Today they are viewed as autonomous works of art in their own right. Even after he retired, Copier continued to work until he was ninety years old at the worldis leading glass centres in Murano, the US, Sweden, France and the Czech Republic. Copier called the Unica objects he produced during that period ?autonomous glass". The present book focuses on the artistic development of Unica glass. Some 60 Unica pieces as well as ?autonomous glass" pieces are shown and analysed, covering a period of approx. 70 years. Nor is the work Copier produced as an industrial designer neglected. Particularly important or rare examples of designs for utilitarian objects - notably Leerdam glass - are also shown., Stuttgart/Berlin Arnoldsche Art Publishers/Dieter Enke 2009, Amsterdam, Holland: Stedelijk Museum, 1961.

Resurrecting the work of gifted craftswomen, too long denied their place as pioneers in their field, Women's Work: Textile Art from the Bauhaus unearths a missing chapter in the story of the most important institution in the history of modern design. The Bauhaus defined modern design in the twentieth century. As the preeminent design phenomenon of the era, almost every aspect of it has been minutely examined. Yet the Weaving Workshop, the longest standing and most successful of all Bauhaus workshops, has been neglected for one simple reason: when the first wave of brilliantly talented women arrived at the school, they soon discovered that Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius could not sustain his ringing declaration of equality between "the beautiful and the strong gender." Textiles, in the hierarchy of art and design, were to be "women's work." Their results, however, were remarkable, both in the early days of artistic expression in Weimar and in later developments in the textile industry. The craftswomen responded to the demands of advanced technology with fabrics that incorporated new or unusual materials such as Cellophane, leather and early synthetics, which had acoustic and light-reflecting properties. They produced multi-layered fabrics, cloths with double and triple weaves, and later made extensive use of the jacquard loom. The result was a rebirth of hand-weaving and new professionalism in designing textiles for mass production. In this model study, superlatively documented with rare or little-seen photographs of the textiles and their makers, Sigrid Wortmann Weltge captures the heady atmosphere of creative excitement at the Bauhaus. Original archival research and interviews, both with survivors and their students and with leading contemporary designers, detail the workshop's history and its enduring legacy. When the Nazis closed the institution in 1933, its members dispersed to Switzerland, Holland, England, France, Russia, Mexico, and throughout the United States; their ideals and influence live on in marvelous fabrics still being produced today., Chronicle Books, 1993
