Since its inception in 1923, Wembley Stadium has been synonymous with great football, sold-out concerts, and thrilling events. Its rebuilding — completed in 2007 by world-renowned architects Foster + Partners — was one of the most talked-about architectural events of the decade. This book details the planning and reconstruction of the new Wembley, which features a retractable roof supported by an iconic arch, exploring all aspects of the design process, with informative texts and numerous photographs, original sketches, and drawings.
Beckmann

Max Beckmann (1884-1950) found his central theme in the loneliness of the twentieth century man, threatened by catastrophe and torn between materialism and freedom of mind and spirit. His early pictures showed the influence of Impressionism, with a preponderance of biblical, historical, and allegorical themes. World War I made a deep impression on him: somewhere between Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), the succinct forms and hard contours in his memorable paintings and graphic works showed man at the limit of physical and mental endurance. Later, the harshness and severity of his style softened and his colors became more radiant, but the monumentality remained.
