        A Tale of The Black Square

        by Maria Bilinska (Author), Maria Bilinska (Illustrator)

        Where do artists get ideas for their paintings? The answer is obvious – objects, people, events – everything that surrounds us and that acquires new meanings in the eyes of the creator. In A Tale of the Black Square we are introduced to the world of Kazimir Malevich, and learn how the artist invented a simple geometric figure known all over the world, by rejecting the excesses of forms and colors, cutting off everything superfluous. A Tale of the Black Square is a story about paying attention to even the simplest, most banal things because they might suddenly inspire you to create.   From 3 to 5 year, 91 words Rightsholders: Taisiia Nakonecnha:  t.zaplitna@gmail.com;

        Find the power of the "Black Square"!

        by Sadovenko Oksana

        “Malevich and You” is a doodle book with creative tasks, stickers and pages to color, which allows a 5-to-13-year-old to imagine herself/himself being Kazemir Malevich’s student. Each spread is dedicated to one of the major ideas of the artist and encourages a child to create their own version of the Black Square, Suprematist Composition, the project of houses of the future as well as discover primary elements, objectlessness and understand Malevich’s characters through coloring the latter in their own way. The doodle book does not seek to give comprehensive answers to children. Rather, we would like it to become a guide on the way to art.

        The White Crucifixion - A novel about Marc Chagall

        by Michael Dean

        The White Crucifixion starts with Chagall’s difficult birth in Vitebsk 1887, in the present-day Belarus, and tells the surprising story of how the eldest son of a herring schlepper became enrolled in art school where he quickly gained a reputation as ‘Moyshe, the painting wonder’. The novel paints a vivid picture of a Russian town divided by belief and wealth, rumours of pogroms never far away, yet bustling with talented young artists.   In 1913 Chagall relished the opportunity to move to Paris to take up residence in the artist colony ‘The Hive’ (La Ruche). The Yiddish-speaking artists (École Juive) living there were all poor. The Hive had no electric light or running water and yet many of its artists were to become famous, among them Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine and Osip Zadkine. The novel vividly portrays the dynamics of an artist colony, its pettiness, friendships and the constant battle to find the peace and quiet to work.   In 1914 Chagall and his wife Bella made what was supposed to be a fleeting visit to his beloved Vitebsk, only to be trapped there by the outbreak of the First World War, the subsequent Russian revolution and the establishment of the communist regime, which was increasingly hostile towards artists like Chagall. Yet Chagall kept on painting, and the novel provides a fascinating account of what inspired some of his greatest work. He eventually managed to return to France, only to be thwarted by another world war, which proved disastrous for the people he knew in Vitebsk, the people in his paintings, including his uncle Neuch, the original ‘fiddler on the roof’. The White Crucifixion is a fictionalised account of the rollercoaster life in terrible times of one of the most enigmatic artists of the twentieth century.

        Hungarian Art

        Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement

        by Éva Forgács

        “I was unable to put down [this book]; one that will be used by those interested in the field for a long time to come.”– Dr. Oliver Botar, Hungarian Cultural Studies   Insightful essays, monographic texts, and rarely-seen images trace from birth to maturation several generations of Hungarian Modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde. Éva Forgács corrects long-standing misconceptions about Hungarian art while examining the work and social milieu of dozens of important Hungarian artists. The book also paints a fascinating image of twentieth-century Budapest as a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across Europe up to and beyond the collapse of the Soviet Era.

        Amazonas con pincel

        by Victoria Combalía

        This book proposes a fascinating, clear and didactic journey through the life and work of women artists. Camille Claudel, Frida Kahlo or Dora Maar, among others, occupy the pages of this book illustrating a wide time period and their corresponding styles, from Impressionism to the 1940s of the 20th century.This work constitutes a corrected and enlarged part of Amazonas con brush, a book published in 2006. The texts seek a balance between the historical importance of the creators and the interest in their life, which sheds much light on the difficulties of being a woman and artist at the same time. For this reason, special attention has been paid to their working conditions, their success or neglect of their careers, and those who were able to encourage them or, on the contrary, silence them. They fought, like men, to express their vision of the world and renew artistic language, but in a social context far removed from equal opportunities. This book written by Victoria Combalía was in 2006 the first publication that was published in Spain focused on women artists.

        Strategy: Get Arts 35 Artists Who Broke the Rules

        35 Artists Who Broke the Rules

        by Edited by Christian Weikop

        Edited by Dr Christian Weikop, a Professor in Art History at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), this is the first print publication to consider the remarkable formation of the ground-breaking and oft-cited exhibition Strategy: Get Arts, staged at ECA in the late summer of 1970. At the cutting edge of contemporary art, this was unlike anything seen in the United Kingdom to that date, certainly challenging a Scottish art world still struggling to come to terms with the legacy of the Scottish Colourists. It was an exhibition that received international press attention and had a considerable impact on the public, critics, and other curators who saw it, shaking up the conservativism of the British art scene. Strategy: Get Arts (SGA) brought many figures of post-war art, who were based in the exciting cultural city of Düsseldorf, to the United Kingdom for the first time. These artists, who took over ECA, transforming the college into a ‘total work of art’ through their extraordinary actions and installations, were unknown to a British public in 1970. The roll call of talented participants included the likes of Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Blinky Palermo, Daniel Spoerri, Stefan Wewerka, Dieter Roth, Sigmar Polke, Günther Uecker, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and many others who subsequently achieved international fame. In addition to first-hand accounts of the exhibition by Douglas Hall (the first Keeper of the Gallery of Modern Art, National Galleries of Scotland), Jennifer Gough-Cooper (SGA co-ordinator), and Alexander Hamilton (co-editor of Studies in Photography and SGA gallery assistant in 1970), the publication also includes new essays by the editor, Christian Weikop, on Richard Demarco and the Formation of Strategy: Get Arts; Düsseldorf in Edinburgh: The Importance of the Germans; and Strategy Get Arts and Broadcast Media. It also features short essays on the photography of SGA by Karen Barber (a specialist in the history of photography), the controversy concerning the Palermo Restore project by Andrew Patrizio (Professor of Scottish Visual Culture at ECA), the creation of a 2016 archive exhibition on SGA by National Galleries of Scotland archivist Kirstie Meehan, as well as two fascinating Forewords by Keith Hartley (Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Modern and Contemporary Art), and Professor Juan Cruz (Principal of ECA). Many unknown and rare photographs of the artists and artworks at the art college, especially by the German performance artist and photographer, Monika Baumgartl, as well as eye-catching photographs by George Oliver and Richard Demarco, are presented here for the first time. The publication is a triumph of archival detective work, effectively reconstructing the exhibition, profiling all 35 artists who took part, and fully revealing the challenges and dramatic events that unfolded before and during the course of this unique event.
