The first in-depth study since the 1980s of the Royal Pavilion ina building that is often considered the most poignant architectural expression of the Romantic imagination and that has become a hallmark of Regency style   Created between 1787 and 1823 by , the Royal Pavilion in Brighton is perhaps the most daring and enchanting example of a building that expresses the European fascination with what in the early nineteenth century was considered the ‘Orient’, in particular China and India. who with the contributions of several other gifted and inventive architects, artists and designers, created a building that draws you in, takes you on a journey and plays with your senses.   Featuring new photography, this lavishly illustrated book will provide a fresh look at the sumptuous Chinoiserie interiors of the Royal Pavilion and their enduring appeal. Drawing on recent research, conservation projects, and  A Prince’s Treasure: From Buckingham Palace to the Royal Pavilion (2019-2022), this book will celebrate the colours and sensual beauty of these interiors while situating the Royal Pavilion in the context of the time of its creation and development under royal ownership, from its beginning in the wake of the French Revolution, through its transformation and extension  , to its fate and legacy in the early Victorian era.

A beautifully illustrated look at the paints and palettes used by many of the world's greatest artists from the sixteenth century to today What can the palette an artist used or depicted tell us about their artistic process, preferences, and finished works? From traditional wooden boards to paint pots, ceramic plates, and studio walls, these deceptively simple yet potent tools provide vital evidence. The Artist's Palette presents fifty unique palettes alongside paintings by the celebrated artists who used them, gathering expert analysis of color, brushstroke, and technique to offer new histories of these artists and their work. Alexandra Loske pairs each artist's color palette with one or more of their paintings, revealing how the artist used paints and pigments. While Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his palette in prismatic order, a pointillist technique reflected on his canvases, Kerry James Marshall uses blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of symbolically oversized white palettes held by the Black artists in his portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of color in Black history and Western art. Through these and other compelling accounts, Loske shows how, behind every great painting, there is a palette that tells its story. Featuring a wealth of original photographs of palettes, paints, and pigments of all kinds, The Artist's Palette takes readers into the studios of artists from Artemisia Gentileschi, Rembrandt, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and John Singer Sargent to Egon Schiele, Georgia O'Keeffe, Helen Frankenthaler, Lucian Freud, and Keith Haring, revealing how the materials and tools they used hide secrets and are often reflections of the life and times of the artist who once held, prepared, and used them.

The paint-loaded palettes of fifty world-renowned artists are displayed alongside the paintings the artists created using those hues, and the colours and brushstrokes employed are analysed to uncover surprising new stories about each artist and their work. Presented broadly chronologically, the artists featured in this revelatory book range from those working in the 17th century to the present day, including Artemisia Gentileschi, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O'Keeffe and Bridget Riley. Each artist's palette - whether photographed or visible in self-portraits - is paired with one or more works by the artist that reflect the colours of the paint remaining on the palette. Colour expert and art historian Alexandra Loske skilfully analyses each artist's colour palette and brushstrokes to reveal not only exactly how they used colour in their work but also to tell the story of their journey with colour and the influence of their approach on the wider culture to which they belonged. For example, Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his palette in prismatic order, isolating the colours and pairing each with a blot of white paint. His pointillist technique was equally apparent on his palette and his canvas. Kerry James Marshall uses blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of symbolically oversized white palettes held by black artists in his portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of colour in the story of black history and white western art. The Artist's Palette will appeal to an art history audience, a wider audience eager to learn more about the use of colour by the great artists and amateur painters looking for inspiration in the creation of their own work.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Einleitend wird der Begriff ?Jugend? als sozialpädagogisches Aufgabenfeld umrissen und eine mögliche Anwendung von Musik aufgezeigt. Daraufhin werden die Wirkungen von Musik allgemein und für den Jugendlichen insbesondere aufgezeigt. Dabei finden die Aspekte Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, psychische und physische Musikauswirkungen, Musik als Kommunikationsphänomen sowie der Zusammenhang von Musikerleben und Körpersprache Beachtung. Als Hauptaspekte sozialpädagogischer Arbeit kristallisieren sich soziale Interaktion und kommunikative Möglichkeiten durch Musikerleben heraus, deren Ursachen im besonderen Verhältnis der Jugendlichen zur Musik liegen. Die sozialpädagogisch initiierte Diskothek der offenen Jugendarbeit kann als Ort gezielter sozial-kompensatorischer Einflussnahme, einen Ausgangspunkt für eine Reihe von Aktionen mit Musik, wie beispielsweise eigentätiges Musizieren auf selbstgebauten Instrumenten, bieten. Die Projekte mit Jugendlichen aus den Bereichen Obdachlosensiedlung, Jugendstrafanstalt und Heimerziehung verdeutlichen hingegen die Arbeit in geschlossenen Institutionen sowie deren restriktiven Bedingungen. Empirische Feldforschung in Form von Interviews in einer sozialpädagogisch initiierten Jugenddiskothek sowie einer Fragebogenaktion im Jugendtreff ?Hasenbergl?, einem sozialen Brennpunkt Münchens, bestätigte die Hypothese der Lösung von Alltagsproblemen durch Musikkonsum bei Jugendlichen im Sinne der Verdrängung oder Sublimierung.
