316.728(485) BRA Brantmark, Niki Lagom : (not too little, not too much) : the Swedish art of living a balanced, happy life New York, NY : Harper Design, [2017]
Contents Lagom in your personal life -- Lagom in family and relationships -- Lagom in the wider world. Abstract "By using the Swedish lifestyle as an example, Niki Brantmark offers insightful suggestions and bite-sized actions to help you make subtle changes to your life, so you too can make time for the things that matter most and find greater happiness"--Back cover. In a fast-paced world, wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could slow down and enjoy a life with less pressure, less stress, and more time for the things you love? Sweden is ranked in the top three of the world’s happiest places to live, and lagom, which means “not too much and not too little—just right,” is the Swedish philosophy for enjoying balance in every aspect of life—from work and leisure to family and food, and everything in between. Experienced bakers know by touch when the dough they are kneading is lagom—not too moist and not too dry. At the office, professionals who work hard—but not to the detriment of other parts of their lives—are following the lagom ideal. Lagom is moderation, balance, and equality. By using the Swedish lifestyle as an example, Niki Brantmark offers insightful suggestions and bite-sized actions to help you make subtle changes to your life, so you too can make time for the things that matter most and find greater happiness.

599.742.1 KOW Kowalski, Gary A. Goodbye, friend : healing wisdom for anyone who has ever lost a pet Novato, California : New World Library, [2012] Contents Pets are not petty -- Four-footed comforters -- Kindness begins at home -- To everything there is a season -- When bad things happen to good creatures -- A good death -- Bless the beasts and the children -- Speak to the Earth -- Rest in peace -- Healing words -- Guides for the spirit -- The eternal question -- The continuum of life -- Today and tomorrow -- A final gift -- Special section. Creating your own ceremony -- A selection of readings and poems -- One family’s ritual of leave-taking Abstract The final parting from a pet is a sorrow that many feel they face alone. Is it appropriate to feel so sad over the loss of an animal? To answer this question, Reverend Gary Kowalski offers a quotation from Garrison Keillor: “If this is foolish, so it be.” Since many people view their companion animals as cherished family members, losing them is, of course, painful and even wrenching. In this beloved manual, Kowalski offers not just insight but also practical guidance; on honoring one’s own grief and helping children with theirs; ideas for rituals, ceremonies, and solace; and considering death and the continuum of life. His compassionate and comforting guidance provides grieving pet parents with a much-needed resource.

Contents Introduction : disentangling Swedish design -- The diagram of Swedish design -- Building the beautiful home -- In the design world -- In the studio -- Displays of force. Abstract "Swedish designers are noted for producing distinctive and elegant forms; their furniture and household goods have an especially loyal following around the world. Design in Sweden has more than just an aesthetic component, however. Since at least the late nineteenth century, Swedish politicians and social planners have viewed design as a means for advocating and enacting social change and pushing for a more egalitarian social organization. In this book, Keith M. Murphy examines the special relationship between politics and design in Sweden, revealing in particular the cultural meanings this relationship holds for Swedish society."--Publisher’s description.

Abstract The first major survey to reveal the ways in which Classical mythology has inspired art throughout the last 2,500 years From the films of Woody Allen and the Coen Brothers to Margaret Atwood’s books and Arcade Fire’s songs, Classical Greek and Roman myths continue to be a source of cultural inspiration. The struggles of heroes, both triumphant and tragic, with gods, monsters, and fate, exert a particular grip on our imagination. Visual artists have long expressed and reworked these foundational stories. This is the first book to unite myth-inspired artworks by ancient, modern, and contemporary artists, from Botticelli and Caravaggio to Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst.

7.05-051(485) LAR (THO) Larsson, Karin Bergoo Karin Bergöö Larsson and the emergence of Swedish design Jefferson, North Carolina : McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, [2019] Abstract Identified as "the first designer of what would become known as Swedish Modern" by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., Karin Bergoo Larsson (1859-1928) was a mother of eight and wife to Sweden’s beloved painter, Carl Larsson. Herself a well-regarded artist, she gave up painting when she married, at the request of her husband. Taking up needles and cloth, she then turned a somewhat ugly cottage--Lilla Hyttnas in the tiny village of Sundborn, Sweden--into a designer showcase. Inspired by the Swedish countryside, she filled the home with handcrafted wall hangings, bed coverings, tablecloths, pillow covers and even furniture of her own design, while greatly influencing her husband’s work by encouraging him to move away from dark oils to more illuminating and light-filled watercolors. His paintings of their home made her interior designs famous, and her influence continues to inform the concepts of retail giant IKEA. Per.Sub.

Abstract From architects and product designers to textile artists and digital innovators, Women Design profiles a selection of the most dynamic female designers from the modern era, showcasing their finest work and celebrating their enduring influence. Design throughout history has been profoundly shaped and enhanced by the creativity of women; as practitioners, commentators, educators and commissioners. But in a narrative that eagerly promotes their male counterparts, their contributions are all too often overlooked. Through 21 engaging profiles, Women Design rediscovers and revels in the work of pioneers such as Eileen Gray, Lora Lamm and Lella Vignelli, while shining a spotlight on modern-day trailblazers including Kazuyo Sejima, Hella Jongerius and Neri Oxman. Richly illustrated with archival imagery, this is a rare glimpse into the working worlds of some of the most influential forces in contemporary design.

7.05(48) MOD Modern Swedish design : three founding texts New York : Museum of Modern Art, [2008] Contents Preface / Peter Reed -- General introduction / Lucy Creagh, Helena Kaberg and Barbara Miller Lane -- The untimely timeliness of Swedish modernism / Kenneth Frampton -- An introduction to Ellen Key’s "Beauty in the Home" / Barbara Miller Lane -- "Beauty in the Home" / Ellen Key -- An introduction to Gregor Paulsson’s Better things for everyday life / Helena Kaberq -- Better things for everyday life / Gregor Paulsson -- An introduction to acceptera / Lucy Creagh -- Acceptera / Uno Ahren, Gunnar Asplund, Wolter Gahn, Sven Markelius, Gregor Pauisson and Eskil Sundahl. Abstract Although modern Swedish design has exercised an extraordinary influence on international architecture and interior furnishings since the early twentieth century, some of the crucial generative writings on the subject have not been widely translated, and the movement’s intellectual background is not well known. Modern Swedish Design collects three of Swedish design’s founding texts for the first time in English. In Beauty in the Home (1899), philosopher and critic Ellen Key (1849-1926) promotes simplicity and clarity of purpose with the goal of social reform. Art historian Gregor Paulsson (1889-1977) was instrumental in the spread of ideas such as Key’s; in Better Things for Everyday Life(1919) he contends that design should be true to its time and available to all, and calls for a modern design language reflecting new materials and methods. Finally, acceptera (1931), cowritten by Paulsson and architects featured in the famous Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, engages in a debate between the proponents of handicraft and those of design idioms emerging from industrial mass production. Lively illustrations and near-facsimiles of the texts’ original publications, scholarly introductions by the editors, and an essay by architectural historian Kenneth Frampton, accompany the translations.

Redesigning discourse : from ardent advocacy to amicable advice. Abstract Designing Modern Norway: A History of Design Discourse is an intellectual history of design and its role in configuring the modern Norwegian nation state. Rather than a conventional national design history survey that focuses on designers and objects, this is an in-depth study of the ideologies, organizations, strategies and politics that combined might be said to have "designed" the modern nation’s material and visual culture. The book analyses main tropes and threads in the design discourse generated around key institutions such as museums, organisations and magazines. Beginning with how British and continental design reform ideas were mediated in Norway and merged with a nationalist sentiment in the late nineteenth century, Designing Modern Norway traces the tireless and wide-ranging work undertaken by enthusiastic and highly committed design professionals throughout the twentieth century to simultaneously modernise the nation by design and to nationalise modern design. Bringing the discussion up towards the present, the book concludes with an examination of how Norway’s new-found wealth has profoundly changed the production, mediation and consumption of design Subject Design -- Norway.

Abstract "Danish Modern explores the development of mid-century modernist design in Denmark from historical, analytical and theoretical perspectives. Mark Mussari explores the relationship between Danish design aesthetics and the theoretical and cultural impact of Modernism, particularly between 1930 and 1960. He considers how Danish designers responded to early Modernist currents: the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, their rejection of Bauhaus aesthetic demands, their early fealty to wood and materials, and the tension between cabinetmaker craft and industrial production as it challenged and altered their aesthetic approach. Tracing the theoretical foundations for these developments, Mussari discusses the writings and works of such figures as Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Nanna Ditzel, and Finn Juhl.

Raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Kavanaugh became in 1952 only the third woman to earn a degree in Cranbrook Academy of Art’s design program. After successful stints as one of GM’s so-called Damsels of Design and as director of interiors for Victor Gruen’s architecture and planning firm, she opened Gere Kavanaugh/Designs. There, Kavanaugh put her unique stamp on textiles, furniture, toys, graphics, store and restaurant interiors, holiday decor, housewares, and public art—even designing and curating exhibitions. But perhaps her most enduring project has been the joyful, open-ended, ongoing experiment of her own lifestyle and homes, a dream of color and handcraft. Kavanaugh was awarded the AIGA Medal in 2016, recognizing her "prodigious and polymathic approach to design." Per.Sub. Kavanaugh, Gere 1929- designer Subject Designers -- United States -- Biography.

72.011 PAR Parametricism 2.0 : rethinking architecture’s agenda for the 21st century AD London : John Wiley & Sons, Inc., [2016] Contents Introduction : Parametricism 2.0: gearing up to impact the global built environment / Patrik Schumacher -- Parametric computation: history and future / John Frazer -- Parametric notations: the birth of the non-standard / Mario Carpo -- Antoni Gaudí and Frei Otto: essential precursors to the parametricism manifesto / Mark Burry -- Behavioural complexity: constructing frameworks for human-machine ecologies / Theodore Spyropoulos -- Upgrading computational design / Shajay Bhooshan -- Behavioural production: autonomous swarm-constructed architecture / Robert Stuart-Smith -- The art of the prototypical / Marc Fornes -- Parametricism’s structural congeniality / Philippe Block -- Computational material culture / Achim Menges -- Relational urban models: parameters, values and tacit forms of algorithms / Enriqueta Llabres and Eduardo Rico -- Parametric regionalism / Philip Yuan -- ’Super-natural’: parametricism in product design / Ross Lovegrove -- Advancing social functionality via agent-based parametric semiology / Patrik Schumacher -- Hegemonic parametricism delivers a market-based urban order / Patrik Schumacher -- Parametrising the social / Manuel DeLanda -- Counterpoint: A hospice for parametricism / Mark Foster Gage Abstract Parametricism is an avant-garde architecture and design movement that has been growing and maturing over the last 15 years, emerging as a remarkable global force. The tendency started in architecture but now encompasses all design disciplines, from urban design to fashion. In architecture, the style has an international following and is currently progressing beyond its experimental roots to make an impact on a broader scale, with practices like Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) winning and completing large-scale architectural projects worldwide. Parametricism implies that all elements and aspects of an architectural composition or product are parametrically malleable; and the style owes its original, unmistakable physiognomy to its unprecedented use of computational design tools and fabrication methods. All design parameters are conceived as variables that allow the design to vary and adapt to the diverse, complex and dynamic requirements of contemporary society. Although Parametricism has been talked about and hotly debated for a number of years, so far there has been no publication dedicated to Parametricism. The issue is guest-edited by Patrik Schumacher, partner at ZHA, and one of the world’s most highly renowned advocates of Parametricism.

74 CEL Celmins, Vija Vija Celmins : to fix the image in memory San Francisco, California : San Francisco Museum of Modern Art ; New Haven, Connecticut : Yale University Press, [2018] Contents Foreword / Neal Benezra and Max Hollein -- Acknowledgments / Gary Garrels and Ian Alteveer -- Lenders to the exhibition -- Vija Celmins : To fix the image in memory / Gary Garrels -- The image found me : Vija Celmins in Los Angeles / Russell Ferguson -- Redescribing the photograph / Frances Jacobus-Parker -- Moving out / Suzanne Hudson -- Longer than anywhere in the world : Vija Celmins on the east coast / Ian Alteveer -- Exercises in abstraction / Briony Fer -- Vija Celmins : In the artist’s words / Compiled by Meredith A. Brown -- Chronology -- Exhibition history / Compiled by Nancy Lim -- Selected bibliography / Compiled by Nancy Lim -- Works in the exhibition -- Index Abstract Best known for her striking drawings of ocean surfaces, begun in 1968 and revisited over many years both in drawings and paintings, Vija Celmins (b. 1938) has been creating exquisitely detailed renderings of natural imagery for more than five decades. The oceans were followed by desert floors and night skies--all subjects in which vast, expansive distances are distilled into luminous, meticulous, and mesmerizing small-scale artworks. For Celmins, this obsessive "redescribing" of the world is a way to understand human consciousness in relation to lived experience. The first major publication on the artist in twenty years, this comprehensive and lavishly illustrated volume explores the full range of Celmins’s work produced since the 1960s--drawings and paintings as well as sculpture and prints. Scholarly essays, a narrative chronology, and a selection of excerpts from interviews with the artist illuminate her methods and techniques; survey her early years in Los Angeles, where she was part of a circle that included James Turrell and Ken Price; and trace the development of her work after she moved to New York City and befriended figures such as Robert Gober and Richard Serra.

741.5 KOH Køhlert, Frederik Byrn Serial selves : identity and representation in autobiographical comics New Brunswick, New Jersey : Rutgers University Press, [2019] Contents Introduction: serial selves -- Female grotesques: the unruly comics of Julie Doucet -- Working it through: trauma and visuality in the comics of Phoebe Gloeckner -- Young, queer, and female: Ariel Schrag’s high school comic chronicles -- Staring at comics: disability and the body in Al Davison’s the spiral cage -- Stereotyping the self: Toufic el Rassi’s Arab in America -- Conclusion: making an issue of representation Abstract Autobiography is one of the most dynamic and quickly-growing genres in contemporary comics and graphic narratives. In Serial Selves, Frederik Byrn Køhlert examines the genre’s potential for representing lives and perspectives that have been socially marginalized or excluded. With a focus on the comics form’s ability to produce alternative and challenging autobiographical narratives, thematic chapters investigate the work of artists writing from perspectives of marginality including gender, sexuality, disability, and race, as well as trauma. Interdisciplinary in scope and attuned to theories and methods from both literary and visual studies, the book provides detailed formal analysis to show that the highly personal and hand-drawn aesthetics of comics can help artists push against established narrative and visual conventions, and in the process invent new ways of seeing and being seen. As the first comparative study of how comics artists from a wide range of backgrounds use the form to write and draw themselves into cultural visibility, Serial Selves will be of interest to anyone interested in the current boom in autobiographical comics, as well as issues of representation in comics and visual culture more broadly.

741.5 POS Postema, Barbara 1972 Narrative structure in comics : making sense of fragments Rochester, New York : RIT Press, [2013] Contents Introduction: Picture stories: comics considered -- Draw a thousand words; signification within panels -- Concerning the in-between; layout in frames and gutters -- All in a row; creating action through sequences -- Combining signs; image-text relations -- Show and tell; the process of narration. Abstract In Narrative Structure in Comics: Making Sense of Fragments, Barbara Postema seeks to explain how comics communicate and create meaning, with an emphasis on two aspects of comics. She first examines the pictorial quality of comics, which receives more emphasis than verbal/textual elements. Her second focus is upon the storytelling and narrative qualities of comics, as well as the literary explorations they provide. The "narrative structure" refers to the potential of images, the story telling capacities of panels, and the sequence of panels, in addition to the more traditional narratological concepts. Overall, the author presents a credible rationale for the way in which comics structure their narratives. At every level of communication, comics rely on gaps or absences to create meaning and guide the reader to a meaningful experience. RIT Press is pleased to announce Narrative Structure in Comics as the first book published in its Comics Monograph Series. BARBARA POSTEMA is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Ryerson University in Toronto, where she is working on a project about wordless comics. She has published several articles in the International Journal of Comic Art. Subject Comic books, strips, etc. -- Criticism, Textual. Narration (Rhetoric) Discourse analysis, Literary.

Lighting and a deeply rooted connection to nature play just as much a role in the spaces as do intense colors and graphic design. This newest addition to the Living in Style series displays the Scandinavian lifestyle at its best. Subject Interior decoration -- Scandinavia. Interior decoration -- Scandinavia -- Pictorial works.

747(48) SCA Scandinavia dreaming : Nordic homes, interiors and design Berlin : Gestalten, [2016] Abstract The nuanced realm of Nordic design has two personalities. On one side, there sits the open, light, friendly, and democratic constituent. And, on the other hand, is its moody counterpart: sleek and sophisticated; timeless and traditional; and deeply rooted in the sensations and juxtapositions of nature. Within the lines of tile-covered roofs born from the existence of nearby clay deposits and large windows that let in light during the shorter winter days, insight into this special thread of skilled craftsmanship awaits. Scandinavia Dreaming presents dazzling interiors, architecture, and products that show the richness, variety, and intensity of contemporary Nordic spaces. The projects within Scandinavia Dreaming translate to any four walls and readily invite transformation from page to reality. Told through anecdotes from those who live in them and from those who exist in other sectors of the creative community, Scandinavia Dreaming tells of a design school that has a worldwide reputation for its effortless combination of classical restraint and warm materials.

766(540) LOV Lovegrove, Keith Graphicswallah : graphics in India London : Laurence King Publishing, [2003]. Abstract From Mumbai to Chennai and from Kochi to Karachi, from the humble sign writer to the blue-chip advertising agency, the creative industries of India entice and inform a population of over one billion. In this crowded, colorful world, innovation is often born of necessity and scant resources, and can result in the very clever or the completely ridiculous. The most exciting graphic work has been singled out by the keen eye of Keith Lovegrove on his journey through India. He lovingly documents a wide range of vernacular graphics and commercial art from the personalized bodywork of vehicles to advertising hoardings; from political posters to lavish Bollywood publicity. The result is a celebration of the huge variety of graphic work that Lovegrove found in this densely populated landscape and a reflection of the religious, political and cultural diversity along his route Subject Graphic arts -- India -- Pictorial works.

77.04 LAR Lartigue, Jacques-Henri Paris : Flammarion, [2002] Abstract 1913. Jacques Henri Lartigue was only nineteen years old when he spent his first winter vacation in the Alps. Immediately captivated, he became a frequent visitor to the increasingly fashionable resorts of Chamonix, Megève, and Saint Moritz. The photographs that he took there are full of the adolescent wonderment that he was to maintain all his life. The exhilaration at being in the mountains and the awe inspired by the ethereal scenery of snowcapped summits are difficult to contain. Lartigue was overcome by the "dazzle of colorless light" that surrounded him: "I am in the negative of night!" he wrote in his journal at the time. The young photographer’s joy was as fresh as it was lasting, reinforced by the inexhaustible pleasures of winter sports, which he discovered at the same time. He photographed all the fun and glamour of European high-society at play in the snow--intrepid sportsmen and women in action, displaying their athletic prowess at skiing, ice hockey, skating, curling, bobsleigh. . . . His pictures propel us between sky and land: skaters twirl, skiers jump, fir trees sway. But the mountains also harbor more contemplative, personal moments: his honeymoon with his young wife Bibi at Chamonix; skiing through "silence as soft as down"; the quiet poetry of a winter landscape. Beautifully reproduced in duo-tone, this collection of winter photographs, the majority of which are published here for the first time, reiterate Lartigue’s positon as one of the great masters of twentieth-century photography.
