Explore the transformative world of modern art with 'Modern Worlds: Austrian and German Art 1890-1940'.

Examine the cultural significance of institutions like the Bauhaus and the role of movements rooted in the Arts and Crafts ideology. 'Modern Worlds' is not only an art book; it's a kaleidoscopic exploration of radical thought that redefined our interaction with art. With this book, you gain an authoritative perspective on a crucial moment that shaped the fabric of modern art.

Illustrated throughout with exquisite reproductions of the museum's holdings, this book considers the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche and his writings on the fine arts and examines the founding of the Secessionist artists' organisations in Germany and Austria. Insightful essays trace the emergence of Expressionism and abstraction, as well as the development of such movements as Dada and New Objectivity. Evolutions in architecture and design are appraised through the legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as the establishment of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony and the Wiener Werkstatte. The book also examines the role of the German Werkbund and the founding of the Bauhaus school. Finally, the book briefly addresses the horrific impact of the National Socialists' degenerate art campaign, which resulted in incalculable damage and led to the exile and death of artists and designers of the era. From well-known artists such as Otto Dix, Josef Hoffmann, Vasily Kandinsky, Gustav Klimt, and Egon Schiele, to lesser recognised but equally important figures, including Albert Birkle, Alfred Kubin, Felix Nussbaum, and Dagobert Peche, this book offers an authoritative and kaleidoscopic look at a crucial moment in history and a portrait of radical thought that changed forever the way we experience art in our lives.

I Welcome Our New Bird Overlords
Format: Paperback
A wild ride that's basically "What if Rise of the Planet of the Apes happened with birds?!" I love it when Tezuka is just... out there, too weird to look away.

Great one and done love letter to 90s Image comics.
Format: Hardcover
This is quite possibly the best comic I have read in quite sometime. The art is great, the story is very well written. It's a fun love letter to 90s Image comics that works even if you've never read an issue of them. My biggest complaint is that there isnt more, as the series ended with a pretty low issue count. Even still it feels complete and is a fun ride. I highly recommend this hardcover as the best way to collect the full series.

Smalltown Superhero Noir
Format: Paperback
Not your standard superhero battle-fest. Local Man is what happens when suddenly you're not 20 anymore, you're kicked off the team in disgrace and have to basically beg your judgy parents for couch space while you somehow, someway, try to put your life back together. And then there are all the murders, just after you come into town. Makes a body think, it does. Hard smalltown noir, with nasty little secrets and petty jealousies, mixed with a superhero chaser, My new favorite.

Back to the 90s
Format: Hardcover
This is one hell of a read with plenty of love for 90s comics. I cannot believe we had a cameo from Boof and an appearance from Battle Pope! The entire series is absolutely flawless with its noir murder mystery and the little homage moments made reading this book a huge nostalgic trip
