The Art of Modernism
A fascinating interdisciplinary study, explaining the development of modern art from the 1790s until today.
WHO IS AN ARTIST?
While the first edition of this book has printed 3000 copies in 2002 and has been sent to all media members, journalists and leading figures of art circles, it has been neglected by many except of a weekly magazine. We have stated that we stood by our theories in our book; this stand did not changed even this day. The Turkish part and charts has been delivered as an add on to our 2015 book “Türkiye’de Resim Sanatı”. Now with the second edition of the Turkish-English original writing we are representing the state of our painting between 1850-2000 in 2002 viewpoint. We also would like to state that in order to truly present the state of the painting after 2000 we need at least 100-150 years; therefor we believe that a hasty action should not be taken.
Democratization and the Jews
Examining the political and religious discourse on the "Jewish Question," Anthony D. Kauders shows how men and women in the immediate post-war era employed anti-Semitic images from the Weimar Republic in order to distance themselves from the murderous policies of the Nazi regime.

The Throne of the Great Mogul in Dresden
A masterful deciphering of an extraordinary art object, illuminating some of the biggest questions of the eighteenth century The Throne of the Great Mogul (1701–8) is a unique work of European decorative art: an intricate miniature of the court of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb depicted during the emperor’s birthday celebrations. It was created by the jeweler Johann Melchior Dinglinger in Dresden and purchased by the Saxon prince Augustus the Strong for an enormous sum. Constructed like a theatrical set made of gold, silver, thousands of gemstones, and amazing enamel work, it consists of 164 pieces that together tell a detailed story. Why did Dinglinger invest so much time and effort in ma...
Our Own Devices
This delightful and instructive history of invention shows why National Public Radio dubbed Tenner “the philosopher of everyday technology.” Looking at how our inventions have impacted our world in ways we never intended or imagined, he shows that the things we create have a tendency to bounce back and change us. The reclining chair, originally designed for brief, healthful relaxation, has become the very symbol of obesity. The helmet, invented for military purposes, has made possible new sports like mountain biking and rollerblading. The typewriter, created to make business run more smoothly, has resulted in wide-spread vision problems, which in turn have made people more reliant on another invention—eyeglasses. As he sheds light on the many ways inventions surprise and renew us, Tenner considers where technology will take us in the future, and what we can expect from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without.

Design Dispersed
Design Dispersed pursues the complex and heterogeneous connections between migration and design in the 20th and 21st centuries. The edited volume gathers contributions by international researchers and curators on the question of how design practices and (historical) objects articulate, respond to and critically reflect on migration, flight and displacement: Besides a collage which highlights the aesthetic effects resulting from the networking, overlapping and mixing of forms, another strand of the book looks at the political and social dimensions of design. How are design objects material modes of a critical inquiry on movements of people and things? What role do object trajectories play in the émigré movements of the 1930s and 1940s? Other texts follow the question of how migrants and refugees form their experience and political fight for acceptance into design and architectural productions. A final essay contributes to wordings and projections – what vocabulary do we need in order to adequately think and write about a design dispersed?
