Hailed the "Prince of the Impressionists", Claude Monet (1840-1926) transformed expectations for the purpose of paint on canvas. Defying the precedent of centuries, Monet did not seek to render only reality, but the act of perception itself. Working "en plein air" with rapid, impetuous brush strokes, he interrogated the play of light on the hues, patterns, and contours and the way in which these visual impressions fall upon the eye. Monet's interest in this space "between the motif and the artist" encompassed too the ephemeral nature of each image we see. In his beloved water lily series, as well as in paintings of poplars, grain stacks, and the Rouen cathedral, he returned to the same motif in different seasons, different weather conditions, and at different times of the day, to explore the constant mutability of our visual environment. This book offers the essential introduction to an artist whose works simultaneously reflected upon the purpose of a picture and the passage of time, and in so doing transformed irrevocably the story of art. 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 series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

Capturing fleeting natural impressions played a central role in the art of Claude Monet. He deeply engaged with the landscape and light of different places, from the metropolis of Paris to the Seine villages of Argenteuil and Giverny. This lavishly illustrated new paperback edition explores the development of Monet's art from the 1850s to the 1920s, focusing on the places, both at home and on his frequent travel, from which he drew inspiration for his painting. In addition, the book traces the critical shift in Monet's art that occurred when he began to focus on series of the same subjects such as haystacks, poplars, and the water lilies and pond at his meticulously designed garden in Giverny. Insightful and revealing, the book deepens our appreciation of Monet's art and allows us to experience anew his gift for bringing the natural world to life.

This full-color publication highlights beautiful objects-both useful and ceremonial-made by the Indigenous artists of the Northwest Coast and Alaska. Since 1925, the Denver Art Museum has collected both historic and contemporary arts from these regions on the criterion of aesthetic quality. This guide, published on the occasion of the reopening of the Denver Art Museum's permanent collection galleries for Northwest Coast and Alaska Native art, includes seldom-told stories about individual artworks, as well as the museum's history of working with living Native artists. From the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition to recent commissions by Marianne Nicolson and Michael Nicholl Yahgulanaas, the Denver Art Museum has long been committed to collaborating with and incorporating contemporary artists into the collection. Alongside the museum's first-rate collection, contributions from four contemporary Indigenous artists provide context for historical works created by their cultures.

Das vorliegend beschriebene Verfahren dient der Berechnung von langs starren Rahmen. Es wird die Kenntnis der Arbeit [1] vorausgesetzt, so dass eine kurze Darstellung des Sachverhaltes erreicht wird. Da das in [1] veroeffentlichte Ver- fahren vorwiegend fur langselastische Rahmenstabe gedacht ist und damit im Falle von starren Staben versagt oder zu numerischen Schwierigkeiten fuhrt, sollen mit dem vorliegenden Verfahren diese Schwierigkeiten behoben werden. In beiden Fallen handelt es sich um Iterationsverfahren. Ergaben sich im Falle der Arbeit [1] Konvergenzschwierigkeiten, d. h. erhebliche Rechenzeiten oder gar Divergenz, so wird im vorliegenden die Konvergenz betrachtlich beschleu- nigt, d. h., die Rechenzeiten werden erheblich reduziert. Im ubrigen verwenden wir wie in [1] die Darstellung mit Hilfe der Matrizen- und Vektorrechnung, wodurch die Programmierung erleichtert wird, da doch wohl in den meisten Rechenzentren der Matrizenkalkul standardmassig programmiert ist. Weiterhin werden im vorliegenden nur die Knotenverdrehungen iterativ be- stimmt, hingegen die Riegel- bzw. Stielverschiebungen mittels eines linearen, Gleichungssystems. Der Grad dieses Systems bestimmt sich lediglich als Summe der Riegel- und Stielanzahl, so dass der Speicherbedarf des zugehoerigen Koef- fizientenschemas ertraglich ist, selbst bei groesseren Rahmen. 9 Knoten Unter einem Knoten verstehen wir einen Punkt des Stabwerkes, in welchem mindestens zwei Stabe zusammenkommen. Die Knoten werden abgezahlt: k = 1, ..., k (k ist die Knotenanzahl). Die Stabe, die in einem Knoten zusam- menkommen, zahlen wir ab O"k = 1,2,3,4 (s. Abb. 11).
