Abstract Art (Second) (World of Art)

By: Anna Moszynska

An exceptionally clear, thorough, and well- illustrated introduction to abstract art since 1900. Since the early years of the twentieth century, Western abstract art has fascinated, outraged, and bewildered audiences. Its path to acceptance within the artistic mainstream was slow. This revised edition traces the origins and evolution of abstract art, placing it in broad cultural context. Well-respected scholar Anna Moszynska examines the pioneering work of Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian alongside the Russian Constructivists, the De Stijl group, and the Bauhaus artists, contrasting European geometric abstraction in the 1930s and ’40s with the emphasis on personal expression after World War II. Op, kinetic, and minimal art of the postwar period is discussed and illustrated in detail, and new chapters bring the account up to date, exploring the crisis in abstraction of the 1980s and its revival—in paint, fabric, sculpture, and installation—in recent decades. The first edition of Abstract Art, published in 1990, was acclaimed by reviewers. Revised with extensive updates, this book includes new chapters on recent trends and offers fully global coverage of art produced in North and South America, Europe, China, Korea, and the Middle East. Now in full color and comprehensively revised, it will serve as the best introduction to abstract art for a new generation.

Pandemic Poland

Impacts of Covid-19 on Polish Law

By: Martin Löhnig,Maicej Serowaniec,Zbigniew Witkowski

Poland has been in a phase of change since 2015. The constitutional system of the Third Republic is being restructured. The Judiciary, media, schools and universities are the main focus of attention. This restructure is being celebrated by the government as a renewal of the Polish state, but is being branded by the opposition as the destruction of the Polish Republic in favour of an illiberal democracy. In this already very difficult situation, Poland was confronted with the major challenges posed by a pandemic. What effects will the crisis have on the restructuring of the constitutional system? At present, it seems that the pandemic is acting as a catalyst for those changes. This book aims to provide an informed commentary on those developments and what they mean for the Third Polish Republic.

Fair taxes or budget revenues at any price?

Polish tax law in the post-BEPS era

By: Martin Löhnig,Wojciech Morawski,Anna Moszyńska

The study of the Polish tax system and policy which enriches knowledge of developments in one of the largest and most rapidly changing states in Europe. It is the result of cooperation of academics and practitioners from major tax advisory firms as well as in-house tax experts. Political changes in Poland (electoral victory of the right-wing PiS party) coincided with changes on the global tax scene, which were associated with the BEPS project (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting), implemented by the OECD. The struggle to rebuild countries' tax revenues began. The ambitious social policy in Poland, which involved substantial transfers of funds to the less well-off, required an increase in budget revenues. Thus, the Polish government quickly became an ardent supporter of BEPS. The radicalism of the tax policy changes raised many doubts among practitioners, who accused the authorities of excessive fiscalism. On the other hand, the legal rules previously in force did indeed poorly protect the fiscal interests of the state. The study of the Polish tax system and Polish tax policy based on the contributions collected in this volume enriches knowledge of developments in one of the largest and most rapidly changing states in Europe.

Alison Wilding

Vanish & Detail

By: Alison Wilding,Penelope Curtis,Anna Moszynska,Carmen Juliá,Tate Britain (Gallery)

British artist Alison Wilding's innovative sculptures combine various forms and techniques to defuse and challenge the viewer's expectations.This volume explores over 20 works by the artist and is drawn from Wilding's ambitious display at the Duveen Galleries, Tate Britain, London, 12 November 2013 - 9 February 2014. Each of the five major works on display brings together contrasting materials - from copper and alabaster to rubber and PVC - whilst testing the relationship between scale and weight.Alongside 70 illustrations and an interview between the artist and curator Carmen Julía, a survey text by Anna Moszynska groups the works in relation to the sculptures made by Wilding throughout her over 30-year career.

New Work

By: Liz Rideal,Anna Moszynska,Briony Fer

Liz Rideal's large images could be mistaken for abstract paintings whereas in fact they are composed of tens of tiny photographs - photo strips from photobooths - which she manipulates into figurative representations.
