Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was one of the most influential artists of his generation. Though he was hailed as the “greatest living realist painter,” Freud’s commitment to realism, and particularly to the human figure, was often controversial
One of the foremost figurative artists working today, Lucian Freud (British, born Germany 1922) has redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. Although best known as a painter, etching has become integral to his practice. This exhibition will present the full scope of Freud’s achievements in etching, including some…

The Belgian painter, printmaker, sculptor, and filmmaker René Magritte (1898–1967) was one of the leading figures in the Surrealist movement, producing some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. His trademark flat, inexpressive manner, combining apparently mundane, everyday scenes with elements of the fantastic or erotic, created a disturbing, dreamlike atmosphere that is all his own.
Working in architecture is characterised by participating in may processes: from planning to construction, from dream to reality from work to play. Throughout the process many things can influence and shape the intended goal. MAK Architects understand ‘process’ as fluid and open, their body of work cannot be defined as a monograph or a mere representation of process.
This user-centered approach is reinforced throughout the pages with 54 narratives and an extensive process glossary that discusses individual objects through a design lens. Featuring more than 1,100 collection objects selected by the curatorial staff, Smithsonian Design Library, and renowned designer Irma Boom, Making Design is organized entirely by Boom’s visual sequencing of images; her design and the curators’ essays weave parallel narratives throughout the book. This wildly playful and unexpected jaunt through the collection ends with Boom’s exploration of her process, “Making Making Design,” which embraces the essence design and the new experiences in Cooper Hewitt’s galleries.
After flirtations with Realism, Impressionism, and Symbolism, Kiev-born Kazimir Malevich (1878–1935) found his métier in dissolving literal, representational figures and landscapes into pure emotionally-charged abstraction. In 1915, he created what is widely lauded as the first and ultimate abstract artwork: Black Square, a black rectangle on a white background, hailed as the “zero point of painting,” a seminal moment for modern and abstract practice.
A key figure in a succession of art movements in the early 20th century, Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935) was Russia’s most influential avant-garde artist. His style of severe geometric abstraction, which he called “suprematism,” was a precursor to constructivism.
Now for the first time as a compact paperback, this book is illustrated with works by Lucian Freud, telling photographs of Freud in his studio, and images by great artists of the past, such as Vincent van Gogh and Titian, who are discussed by Freud and Gayford.
In Mapula: Embroidery and Empowerment in the Winterveld, Brenda Schmahmann discusses the complex circumstances that resulted in the founding of Mapula in 1991, when the Winterveld was part of the former ‘homeland’ of Bophuthatswana. The Mapula Embroidery Project in the Winterveld is one of the most important community art projects in South Africa.
The contradiction appears immense: a dizzying jaunt through mythologies and their diverse visual worlds anchored not exclusively in Western tradition, bearing more than a hint of a tour de force, reinforced by echoes of John Milton’s epic work “Paradise Lost” and Sebastian Brant’s “Ship of Fools”, allusions to the political events of the 20th century and, last but by no means least, the artist’s recourse to ancient anthropological perceptions of hybrid creatures. the figures appear in their respective worlds in chaotic, yet colorful disarray.
