Sinopsis

Rise of Abstract explores how abstract sculpture revolutionized art and design by shifting focus from representation to form, material, and space. It examines the philosophical and socio-cultural forces behind this shift, highlighting how early 20th-century artists broke from tradition to explore new modes of expression. The book reveals abstract sculpture's lasting influence, demonstrating its principles in architecture, product design, and user interface design.

 
The book argues that abstract sculpture fostered innovation in design by prioritizing experimentation and problem-solving through form, bridging the gap between fine art and practical applications. One intriguing fact is how the rise of abstraction coincided with rapid industrialization, reflecting a desire to break free from established conventions.

 
The book progresses from defining abstract sculpture's core tenets and examining contributing artistic movements like Cubism and Futurism, to exploring its influence on various design disciplines and discussing its contemporary relevance. This book uniquely focuses on abstract sculpture's impact on design, often overlooked in art history. Through historical documents, artist manifestos, and contemporary design research, it provides a comprehensive look at how abstract art reshaped the design world.

 
By adopting a balanced tone, Rise of Abstract makes complex ideas accessible to students, practitioners, and anyone interested in the history of modern art and its relationship to contemporary culture.

    Too Hot - Kool & the Gang & Me

    Growing up around music, young George was inspired to piece together a makeshift drum set and teach himself to play as he practiced in the dark, dank basement of his rundown New Jersey townhouse. 
     
     
     
    He soon joined forces with his friends to form a group called the Jazziacs, which then evolved into Kool & The Gang, a band that began charting hits while its members were still teenagers. By evolving their sound as musical tastes changed, the band was able to stay on the charts for decades, scoring twelve Top 10 hits in Funk, R&B, Pop, and Rock, and selling over seventy million albums while navigating the highs and lows of their career. 
     
     
     
    In Too Hot, drummer, keyboardist, and primary songwriter George Brown describes life in and out of the band, including a raucous life on the road as the band's popularity grew. He weathered the ups and downs of his musical career and navigated many challenges, including prescription drug addiction and depression. 
     
     
     
    George shares how his recent cancer scare, and subsequent treatment, compelled him to share his story, warts and all, to give listeners a glimpse into a band whose reputation was considered relatively tame, when in reality, it was exactly the opposite.
