The Pocket Impressionism
An introduction to Impressionism, the rebellious 19th century art movement.Characterized by its spontaneous, short brush stokes, natural subject focus and emphasis on light, Impressionism remains one of the most famous artistic movements of all time. Given how celebrated the style is today, it is perhaps difficult to believe that the Impressionists were frequently shunned by their contemporaries and excluded from established art exhibitions. In this introductory guide to the defiant world of Impressionism, you will be introduced to ten of the movement's pioneers - Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro - as well as lesser-known figures such as Marie Braquemondand Berthe Morisot. You will learn about their personal lives, their artistic ambitions and how their legacies continue to influence the creation of art today. Gemini Pockets From little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion, and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.

Beautiful Madness
Thirty years of reflections on the intertwined disciplines of art curating and art writingExhibition curating and art writing are closely related disciplines. Both practices construct a meaningful, public narrative regarding artifacts and artists. Most curators and writers accomplish this by tapping into the artist, their work and their world. Mark Kremer has been writing, curating, teaching and interacting with artists for decades. Beautiful Madness is an accumulation of his writings on contemporary art from 1993 to 2023. The book gathers pieces along lines of affinity, themes and attitudes, structured in five topics: "Trace," "Gesture," "Rudiment," "Polyphony" and "Fortitude." It mirrors his experiences with art curating, writing and thinking, and is of value to anybody who wants to sharpen their pen and/or rethink what curating might mean.Mark Kremer (born 1963) is an independent curator and writer based in Amsterdam.
