Edition Axel Menges

Titles appearing in Art Book News Annual — January 2007

Arrangement is by title.

Bruno Paul; the life and work of a pragmatic modernist.

Harrod, William Owen.

3-932565-47-9

Illustrator, architect, and educator Bruno Paul (1874-1968) was arguably the most important German designer of his generation. Featuring a wealth of b&w photographs and drawings, this volume presents a comprehensive study of his life and work. Architect and historian Harrod looks at Paul's role in the development of Modernism in Central Europe and celebrates the way in which he balanced avant- garde experimentation with the principles of conservative professional practice. Oversize: 9.5x11.5 inches. Distributed in the U.S. by National Book Network. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)

Hollywood; recent developments.

Ed. by Christian W. Thomsen and Angela Krewani.

3-932565-44-4

Seventeen contributions from scholars in the U.S. and Europe consider various developments in Hollywood movie productions since the 1990s. Thomsen (U. of Siegen) opens the volume with a discussion of Hollywood's treatment of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Other topics include (for example) the transnationalization of Hollywood; the recycling of myths in science fiction films; and the relationship between architecture and film. The volume (which lacks a subject index) is illustrated throughout with movie stills — many of them in color. Distributed in the U.S. by National Book Network. Oversize: 9.5x11.5 inches.

Ludwig Persius; the architectural work today.

Ed. and photographs by Hillert Ibbeken.

3-932565-46-0

Three short essays, in German and English, provide the historic and architectural context for the prolific, Gothic Revival style oeuvre of Persius, an architect who was trained and worked closely with the well-known Karl Friedrich Schinkel. This beautifully illustrated volume is filled with superb b&w photos in full-page, oversize plates (11.5x12 inches) of Persius's buildings as they stand today. A catalog describing the location, subsequent history, and current condition of the buildings, and a bibliography conclude the volume, which is not indexed. Distributed in the U.S. by National Book Network. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
