New Architectural Pleasures, French Book by George Pompidou Art Center, 1985
About the Item
Nouveaux Plaisirs d'Architectures (New Architectural Pleasures), French book published by The National Center of Art and Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris, 1985.
Les pluralismes de la Creation en Europe et aux Etats-Unis depuis 1968 vus a travers les collections du Deutsches Architekturmuseum de Francfort. (The Pluralisms of Creation in Europe and the United States since 1968 seen through the collections of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt.)
This first edition of the book was published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name, co-produced with the Center de Création Industrielle and the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, presented from February 21 to April 22, 1985.
This book takes up the outline of this exhibition, which presents a panorama of various architectural trends from 1968 to 1985 in Europe and the United States through the collections of the German Museum of Architecture in Frankfurt, inaugurated in 1984. It is also an extension of the Images et Imaginaires d'Architecture event presented at the Center Pompidou by the CCI in 1984.
A set of two hundred original drawings, thirty-five models, and a few paintings and sculptures testify to a new plurality of research and the current proliferation of architectural creation.
About forty projects—nearly half of which were completed—as well as other contemporary currents, outside postmodernism, reflect this panorama.
The reader discovers, for example, representatives, side by side:
- the rationalist movement, such as Giorgio Grassi;
- functionalism like Josef Paul Kleihues;
- poetic and metaphysical rationalism such as Aldo Rossi;
- morphological and typological rationalism in the person of Oswald Mattias Ungers;
- from salvage populism through the trivial and eclecticism is Roberto Venturi;
- the metaphorical embodied by Charles Moore;
- the historicizing current such as Thomas Gordon Smith;
- the most evident classicism worn by Fernando Montes.
Finally, other architects present at the exhibition are referenced in the book: R. Abraham, M. Botta, P. Eisenman, F. Gehry, M. Graves, A. Grumbach, Haus-Rucker-Co, J. Hejduk, H. Jahn, J. P. Kleihues, L. Krier, R. Krier, M. Meier, F. Montes, A. Natalini, J. Nouvel, OMA Group, C. de Portzamparc, B. Reichlin, F. Reinhart, SITE Group, P. Starck, S. Tigerman, CHICAGO SEVEN Group.
This panorama of the architectural stylistic approaches of the last fifteen years demonstrates that the duality between modernism and postmodernism goes through very subtle, nuanced, and typical stages of an era in search of its identity.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.

The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890-1985 Art Book.
Judi Freeman, Carel Blotkamp
Abbeville Press, 1987 - Art - 435 pages. Paperback.
Traces the use of geometric signs by the Nabis and other French artists and relates this to the development of abstraction. The author describes some of the sources of ideas about the symbolism of geometric signs, in particular the writings of Helena P. Blavatsky, and traces the impact of these on the Nabis, possibly through the stimulus of Gauguin whose paintings from his Brittany period encouraged a mystical conception of art in which sacred geometry figured as one component. By demonstrating the huge impact of mysticism and the occult on 20th-century artists from Gauguin to Pollack, Mondrian to O'Keefe, this work effectively refutes the popular fallacy that modernism is concerned solely with line, form, and color. He goes on to discuss in detail the paintings of Paul Serusier, Paul Ranson...
