The Beauty Of Everyday Things

by Soetsu Yanagi

14,86€ + 10% CARD

 The daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.

 Os textos das quartas jornadas do projeto reliquiarum tentam responder e problematizar as perguntas que estavam na base da exposição anterior. Não-relíquias? Pensando no Doutor Sousa Martins, os seus objetos não são relíquias? Relíquias? Os objetos do Padre Cruz sempre foram relíquias? Quase-relíquias? Há objetos da Madre Andaluz que talvez sejam relíquias? A discussão juntou as respostas dos comissários e as suas escolhas de peças, expostas acima, que parecem ser exemplos das perguntas lançadas. Essas perspetivas, mais próximas, juntamos textos resultantes do debate e observação da exposição de alguns dos elementos da comissão internacional de acompanhamento do reliquiarum. Estes conteúdos foram enriquecidos com três textos das investigadoras do projeto Confluências Medievais na Religiosidade Brasileira: Inventários de Santos e Relíquias que, tendo estado em missão de trabalho junto do reliquiarum, puderam visitar a exposição. Três perguntas, várias respostas, uma ampla área de investigação em aberto. Como conceituar as relíquias na sua constituição de objeto de devoção? As devoções nascem numa ligação direta com o objeto-relíquia? São as devoções que constroem as relíquias? Como usar casos individuais, de diferentes épocas, para se aproximar destas temáticas? Como fazer uso de metodologias comparativas? Outras perguntas. Como investigar para perguntas dar respostas?

David Hockney - My Window

by David Hockney; Illustration: David Hockney

~~15,00€~~ 13,50€ 10% OFF

 Window to the World David Hockney’s artist’s book in a pocket-sized edition When David Hockney discovered the iPhone as an artistic medium, it opened up entirely new possibilities for his art. He made his first digital paintings in spring 2009, describing the morning landscape in broad lines and dazzling colors directly on a display that offered subtle hues as unmixed expressions of pure light. Then in 2010, Hockney started working with an iPad, and the larger screen expanded his artistic repertoire and enabled an even more complex interplay of color, light, and line. Each image in this book captures a fleeting moment seen through a window in Hockney’s Yorkshire home: from vibrant sunrise and lilac morning sky to peaceful night-time impressions or the sudden arrival of spring. Fascinating details reveal drops on window panes, distant lights in the night, reflections on vases or an abundance of varied window-sill vegetation. In 120 paintings made between 2009 and 2012, selected and arranged by the artist himself, we experience the passage of time through the eyes of David Hockney. This artist’s book, which first appeared in an exclusive signed edition in 2020, now returns in a wallet-friendly pocket edition. So now is the perfect occasion to heed the advice of the Times critic regarding this book: "If you would like to be given a bouquet by David Hockney, here is your chance."

All-American Ads of the 2000s

by Jim Heimann e Steven Heller

~~38,63€~~ 34,77€ 10% OFF

free shipping

 That’s Hot Ads from the decade that got down with digital Post-9/11, America’s sense of invincibility was shaken. The dotcom bubble had burst, there was war with Iraq, and eco-angst was becoming mainstream, as evidenced by impressive sales of the Toyota Prius. For escapism, self-expression, and even romantic connection, America turned to tech. Geeks were the new superheroes, and the iPod and iPhone reigned supreme, both commercially and creatively. Social media began its unstoppable rise, with MySpace and Facebook pushing brands to get more interactive with consumers. Prestige dramas—The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad—populated the small screen, while Netflix swapped mailing DVDs for streaming content, the reality TV star was born, and Paris Hilton decreed, That’s hot!. Amazon and eBay threatened the cultural centrality of the shopping mall, and every famous name from Michael Jordan to Madonna could be found on scotch, sneakers, and scents. Health and wellness fueled the growth of brands like Whole Foods and Lululemon, and consumers increasingly valued experiences, ethics, and personalization.

Tom of Finland XXL

80,00€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 In 1998, Taschen introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following in the international gay community but was largely unknown to a broader audience. In 2009, Taschen followed up with the ultimate Tom overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful big collector's edition with over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the artist's career. The work was gathered from collections across the United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland Foundation, featuring many drawings, paintings, and sketches never previously reproduced. Other images had only been seen out of context and were finally presented in the sequential order Tom intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The elegant oversized volume showed the full range of Tom's talent, from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down by AIDS, and was completed by eight commissioned essays on Tom's social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith. The only thing missing from Tom of Finland XXL was a widely affordable price tag-until now. The new Tom of Finland XXL is still big enough to work your biceps, and includes all of the original content, but costs a fraction of the original price. You're welcome.
