Paperback. Zustand: Fine. xviii, 461 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. *** "The waning of the century-old modernist movement in the arts has called forth an astonishing array of artistic and critical responses. The twenty-five essays in Art After Modernism provide a comprehensive survey of the most provocative directions taken by recent art and criticism, exploring such topics as the decline of the ideology of modernism in the arts and the emergence of a wide range of postmodern practices; recent directions in painting, film, video, and imagery; and the dynamics of the social network in which art is produced and disseminated. This major collection is an indispensable guide to the ideas and issues animating this decade's art--the far-reaching cultural reorientation known as postmodernism." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction, by Brian Wallis.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 1. Pap. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. India is a nation with a rich, sophisticated culture, but also a country undergoing rapid modernization. In this dynamic context, the architecture of Balkrishna Doshi deploys the strengths of tradition and modernism in a powerful combination, infusing bold new forms with an intricate social, historical, and cultural awareness. Doshi's concern for order, climatic responsiveness, materials, and cultural expression is primary; James Steele examines the full and extraordinary range of his ideas, which encompasses ancient Hindu geometry, contemporary town planning, village typologies, modular standardization, mysticism, and myth. Photographs, plans, and drawings by the architect illustrate informed commentaries on Doshi's most notable projects to date. Some texts by Doshi, written to accompany his original concepts, are published here for the first time. With a comprehensive illustrated chronology of all his work, this study is indispensable not only for anyone with an overall interest in contemporary architecture but also for those who have a particular concern for the evolution of traditional forms within a context of humane values.…
