Here, in their second stunning collaboration, Diane Siebert and Wendell Minor create a joyful, singing celebration of this country's heartland, the Midwest, a land where golden wheat waves in the breeze, great rivers flow, and cornfields stretch across the plains like glorious patchwork quilts in hues of yellow, green, and brown. Cattle graze in lush, green pastures, horses and sheep fill the barns, and a newborn calf stands damp and warm in the sun.

Take only photographs, leave only footprints. But if one's own photographs don't quite do justice to the towering granites, thundering waterfalls, and spectacular vistas of Yosemite, then this lovely little volume of photographs makes a superb complement.

Ryan Alonzo's spectacular shots are accompanied by the key information visitors want to remember and share.

Dream away at the most beautiful desert landscapesThe desert lies bare - sparse and silent in the heavy stillness of the day, a wilderness that somehow manages to be both remote and yet strangely intimate. We seek to explore the gentle fragility of these ancient landscapes, uncovering the textures, colours, and light that plays out in shadows across the land.The creators of Rucksack Magazine bring you Deserted: In Pursuit of Drylands. In this study of the desert landscape, the visual and written stories portray places so vast that time and space are rendered meaningless. Featuring photography from locations such as Utah, the Atacama, the Namib Desert, and the Australian Outback, we showcase endless, open swathes of golden land that stretch beneath the burning sky and soar far beyond any possible human perception.

Die visuelle Tour des Autors entführt uns in die weite Ferne und macht uns zu Mitreisenden, zu Komplizen dieser besonderen, von ihm kreierten Betrachtungsweise. Jordi Bernadó tritt als Gelehrter, Historiker, Architekt und Soziologe auf, meistens jedoch als Erzähler. Er beherrscht die Farbwelten perfekt und bedient sich des umfassenden Vokabulars der Dokumentarfotografie.

Med denne bog åbner vi døren til en næsten ukendt del af Nationalmuseets magasiner, en kulturhistorisk billedsamling med hundredvis af indrammede tegninger og malerier, som har prydet danske hjem gennem 300 år.Bogens godt 450 malerier og tegninger er øjebliksbilleder fra en svunden tid. De vidner bl.a. om nu forsvundne bygninger og om de forandringer, der er sket i byerne og på landet gennem århundreder.Værkerne er skabt af anerkendte kunstnere og entusiastiske amatører, men fælles for dem er, at hovedparten er indsamlet til museet med fokus på deres kulturhistoriske fortælling.Datering, stedsangivelse og en ofte stor detaljerigdom gør værkerne til en vigtig kilde til topografisk og arkitekturhistorisk forskning. Her er især Rachs og Eegbergs malerier fascinerende – i dem kan man næsten gå på byvandring i 1740’ernes København!I nogle få tilfælde er samme motiv skildret med års mellemrum og af forskellige kunstnere. Det giver en unik mulighed for at følge udviklingen.Alle typer hjem har bidraget med værker til samlingen, og personalhistoriske oplysninger og proveniens er angivet, hvor det har været muligt. Derfor tilbyder bogen ikke kun et kik ud i datidens byer og landskaber, men også et kik ind i danskernes hjem.DANSKERNES BILLEDSKAT. Landskab og Bebyggelse er på én gang et arbejdsredskab for forskere og en skatkiste for alle at gå på opdagelse i con amore.Katalogets forfatter Mona Rasmussen er fhv. registrator ved Nationalmuseet, Nyere Tid.

♥♥♥♥♥– Politiken This catalogue is the first publication of all the Venetian drawings in the Royal Collection of Graphic Art at The National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst). Few of these drawings have ever been published, and only a handful has been shown to the public within living memory. Research in connection with this catalogue has revealed that not only is the number if drawings from this geographic area surprisingly high, but the quality of the drawings is stupendous, counting some of the most beautiful sheets in the collection. Furthermore, the comprehensiveness of this part of the collection has proved extraordinary with very even coverage of the development of draughtsmanship in Venice and the Venetian mainland from the 1480s, when sketching on paper became common, through the lesser-known 17th century to the fall of the Venetian republic in 1797. This catalogue presents more than 200 fine drawings by Vittore Carpaccio, Moretto da Brescia, Domenico Campagnola, Jacopo Bassano, Paolo Farinati and Paolo Veronese, large groups of studies by Palma Giovane and Antonio Vassilacchi called Aliense, as well as sheets by 18th-century draughtsmen such as Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, Gaspare Diziani, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and his son Domenico, Francesco Fontebasso, Francesco Guardi and Giovanni Battista Piranesi.Chris Fischer is senior researcher and head of the Centre for Advanced Studies in Master Drawings at The National Gallery of Denmark. Fischer is an internationally acclaimed scholar within the field of master drawings and has arranged exhibitions at institutions such as the Louvre in Paris and the Uffizi in Florence. He is the world’s foremost researcher on the work of the Italian Renaissance artist Fra Bartolommeo, who ranks alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo as one of the four pre-eminent artists of the High Renaissance. Dette katalog er den første samlede udgivelse af alle de venetianske tegninger, der findes i Den Kongelige Kobberstiksamling på Statens Museum for Kunst. Kun få af tegningerne i kataloget er tidligere blevet offentliggjort, og kun en håndfuld har været vist for offentligheden. Forskning i forbindelse med tilblivelsen af kataloget har vist, at ikke alene er antallet af tegninger fra dette geografiske område overraskende høj, men kvaliteten af tegningerne er tilmed imponerende, og nogle af de smukkeste tegninger i samlingen stammer herfra. Denne del af samlingen er enestående og dækker bredt udviklingen af tegnekunst omkring Venedig fra 1480'erne, hvor tegning på papir blev almindeligt, gennem det mindre kendte 17. århundrede til opløsningen af den venetianske republik i 1797. Dette katalog indeholder over 200 tegninger af Vittore Carpaccio, Moretto da Brescia, Domenico Campagnola, Jacopo Bassano, Paolo Farinati og Paolo Veronese, større samlinger af studier af Palma Giovane og Antonio Vassilacchi kaldet Aliense, såvel som tegninger af 1700-tals kunstnere såsom Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, Gaspare Diziani, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo og hans søn Domenico, Francesco Fontebasso, Francesco Guardi og Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Chris Fischer er seniorforsker og leder af Forskningscenter for Tegnekunst på Statens Museum for Kunst. Fischer er en internationalt anerkendt forsker i tegnekunst og har bl.a. lavet udstillinger på Louvre i Paris og Uffizierne i Firenze. Han er verdens førende forsker i den italienske renæssancekunstner Fra Bartolommeo, der sammen med Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael og Michelangelo er højrenæssancens fire mest betydningsfulde kunstnere.

Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) was a member of the radical Copenhagen middle class at the turn of last century. He maintained close ties to his family throughout his life, and especially his wife, Ida, his sister, Anna, and the family’s homes were his favorite motifs. The best-known are his many interiors from Strandgade 30, kept to a palette of gray, green, and russet. Hammershøi also painted landscapes and portraits, however, and the David Collection has exquisite examples of all these genres.In Hammershøi in the David Collection, the Hammershøi expert Henrik Wivel writes empathetically about the artist’s life and art and provides an in-depth study of the 14 pieces in the David Collection in relation to his life and times. The book moreover presents the story of the founder of the David Collection, Christian Ludvig David (1878-1960), a lawyer by profession, and how he transformed the building at Kronprinssegade 30 into a unique art collection.
