The Latino presence continues to grow in traditional population
enclaves and has tripled in areas that are not traditionally
associated with this pan-ethnic group. The dramatic growth of this
population in the U.S. requires a considerably deeper understanding
of individuals that share this multifaceted identity. This timely
book synthesizes new research and its implications for practice
that is critical for professionals working with Latinos in
educational and counseling contexts. The authors provide insight
into identity development, environmental influences, and how these
factors influence persistence in higher education. By using a
synthesis approach to organize multiple studies around how being
Latinx influences the experiences of college students and beyond,
the authors offer a holistic view of the Latino population. Each
chapter uses mixed method data points to highlight the experiences
of this growing population and provide helpful insights for those
who work with Latinx individuals within higher education and
community settings. The new Lifespan Model of Latinx Ethnic
Identity Development constitutes a framework to consider the
development and tensions experienced by Latinos as they engage with
the various cultures represented within U.S. society. The studies
presented in this book provide an evidence-based understanding how
environmental differences may produce differing levels of
development for college students and how change in environments
produce reflective refinement of adult Latinx identity.
Practitioners will learn about practices that help Latinx college
students. Faculty and researchers will gain new understandings of
the Latinx experience, and discover a starting point for further
reflection and investigation.

With motion and machines as its most treasured tropes, Futurism was
founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters
Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, and Gino Severini.
With affiliate painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and
writers, the group sought to subsume the dusty establishment into a
new age of sleek, strong, purified modernity. Futurism's place in
art history is as ambivalent as it is important. The movement
pioneered revolutionary methods to convey movement, light, and
speed, but sparks controversy in its glorification of war and
fascist politics. Their frenzied, almost furious, canvases, are as
remarkable for their macho aggression as they are for their radical
experimentation with brushstrokes, texture, and color in the quest
to record an object moving through space. With key examples from
the Futurists' prolific output and leading practitioners, this book
introduces the movement that spat vitriol at all -isms of the past
and, in so doing, created an -ism of their own. About the series
Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the
best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in
TASCHEN's Basic Art History series features: approximately 100
color illustrations with explanatory captions a detailed,
illustrated introduction a selection of the most important works of
the epoch, each presented on a two-page spread with a full-page
image and accompanying interpretation, as well as a portrait and
brief biography of the artist
In the first exhibition highlight of the year, three outstanding
artists - Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Georg Kolbe, and Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe - are being brought together for the first time at Haus Lange
in Krefeld. Figurative sculpture, as repeatedly integrated into
designs and buildings by the architect Mies van der Rohe, is thus
placed in direct dialog with the building, the design, and the
gardens of Haus Lange. The background for the interplay between
architecture and sculpture is the natural-philosophical climate,
which, in the early twentieth century, influenced a wide range of
disciplines. On display will be roughly twenty-five sculptures by
Lehmbruck and Kolbe as part of the organic body of Haus Lange.

Art galleries have been, and continue to be, enormously influential
in aesthetic discourse. They have launched the world's most
celebrated artists and nurtured its key movements. Where would Pop
Art be without Leo Castelli? The New York School without the
Guggenheim Jeune? And what would Fluxus have become without Rena
Block's commitment? "International Art Galleries" is a
star-studded, photo-filled look at the art world's star-makers, the
first book to examine the modern gallery phenomenon, offering over
75 profiles of galleries from around the world, and portraits of
their key players arranged by decade. American readers will
recognize Art of This Century, Betty Parsons, Leo Castelli, Marian
Goodman, Paula Cooper, American Fine Arts, Co., Gagosian, Deitch
Projects (where Jeffrey Deitch is shown working nonchalantly with a
naked model splayed across his desk, her butt to the camera), Gavin
Brown's Enterprise and the Project. Other international players
range from Galerie Iris Clert in Paris to Tomio Koyama in Tokyo and
kurimanzutto in Mexico City. Lavishly illustrated throughout with
photographs of artists, gallerists, installations and events, this
comprehensive history of the modern gallery system offers an
intriguing and engaging angle on the development of art since 1945.
