Across 3 sections and more than 500 images, the book charts the company’s defining moments, core identities, and key characters, together presenting the most comprehensive history of Braun ever published. Featuring brand-new photography of Braun’s most iconic products alongside never-before-published archival images, drawings, advertisements, internal documents, and correspondence, in-depth narrative texts interweave the Braun story with the cultural and political history of Germany, providing new context and insight into one of the most famous product design brands in the world. With profiles on key members of the creative and leadership teams that reinforce Braun’s design legacy and the importance of the people behind the process, Braun: Designed to Keep unpacks the brand’s core values – such as simplicity, usefulness, and longevity – that changed the way household products are perceived, designed, and used.

The Gourmand. El huevo. Historias y recetas
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

Escalfado, revuelto, hervido, batido en un cóctel, transformado en pintura o lanzado contra la casa de un enemigo. Como la más llamativa de las paradojas, el huevo existe en feliz suspensión entre el humilde ingrediente doméstico y la siempre poderosa fuente de vida. Es uno de los símbolos más duraderos a lo largo del tiempo: fue utilizado por los romanos para disipar los malos espíritus y modelado como auténtica joya de valor incalculable para la nobleza rusa, y ocupó un lugar destacado en la mitología egipcia. En el primer volumen de la serie de TASCHEN en colaboración con la revista de culto Gourmand, celebramos el vínculo entre la comida y el arte en una exploración visual y literaria de este ingrediente básico de la cocina. Una colección de recetas originales, desde el escalfado perfecto hasta los postres más creativos, expone las diversas tradiciones culinarias de todo el mundo. The Gourmand's Egg. A Collection of Stories and Recipes está profusamente ilustrado con obras de figuras titánicas de la historia del arte, como Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney y Man Ray, y con trabajos exclusivos de los mejores fotógrafos. Completan el volumen textos de la chef, escritora y crítica gastronómica Ruth Reichl, y de la escritora y editora Jennifer Higgie, entre otros. En palabras de Reichl: ''En la cocina, como en casi todo lo demás, todo comienza con un huevo''.

Nadel, Dan

The first comprehensive monograph on one of today’s most innovative and successful painters – made in close collaboration with the artistDefined by bold brushstrokes, a dynamic use of color and imaginative compositions, the paintings of Dana Schutz are panoramic expanses that offer visions of humanity in all its complex facets. Her deeply subjective approach, untethered from realism, translates into images that seem to exist in a place that transcends time while celebrating the intrinsic qualities of her medium of choice with freedom and intelligence. As the artist herself stated, ‘I’m interested in painting as an affective place where the hierarchies of the world can be rearranged within the space of a painting.’ This first comprehensive monograph on her work was created in close collaboration with the artist and features a number of never-before-seen paintings and drawings.

Riffing on works by a diversity of artists across mediums, periods, and styles, including Alice Neel, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julie Mehretu, Sheila Hicks, Willem de Kooning, Georgia O’Keeffe, Frank Stella, Salman Toor, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Kerry James Marshall, among others, Taylor inspires readers to interpret the palettes, compositions, brushstrokes, and mood of the art in flowers, and shares florists’ trade secrets for building beautiful arrangements. Through this meditative practice of looking intently at art and nature, readers learn, in the words of David Hockney, ‘to really look,’ and to really see the world.

Hoy -5% en Libros

Aldecoa, Francisco

'This book brings together the main contributions contained in the books published by the Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement (CFEME) over the last four years on the subject of EU federal developments and the future of Europe. The aim of this book is to present the political thinking of the Spanish European Movement and its action plans for the 2019-2024 political cycle, focusing on the unique advances that have taken place in the European Union in a federal key. The authors are mainly part of the executive committee of the CFEME and some other are professors, politicians and prominent diplomats linked to the CFEME. A group of young people from the European Movement are also involved. The Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement is a plural, intergenerational association, made up of different types of professionals (although teachers predominate), interregional, and also international, as it includes colleagues from national sections of the International European Movement: Virgilio Dastoli, President of the Italian European Movement, and Yves Bertoncini, Former President of the French European Movement, among others. Finally, it should be noted that the articles featured include illustrious figures in European politics, who have held positions of high responsibility, such as Enrique Barón, President of the European Parliament (1989-1992) and President of the International European Movement (1987-1989), José María Gil-Robles, President of the European Parliament (1997- 1999) and President of the International European Movement (1999-2005), and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (2019-present). We also include a chapter on Spain's role in the European Union since its entry into the EU in 1986, featuring prominent politicians, ministers, ambassadors and secretaries of state, among others, who enrich the vision of Spain within Europe, and not only the analysis of the latest events of the last legislature.

Redouté. Roses
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

La venerada tradición de la ilustración botánica se remonta al Renacimiento. Surgió del deseo de catalogar la naturaleza en su esplendor impredecible, y la tarea necesitó de la participación de artistas de talento.Con su extraordinaria habilidad para capturar los temas más intrincados de la naturaleza, Pierre-Joseph Redouté está considerado el mejor pintor y grabador de motivos botánicos. Trabajar con plantas vivas en lugar de los especímenes de herbario proporcionó a sus acuarelas una sutileza y frescura inusuales. También fue un innovador en los métodos de impresión, e introdujo en Francia la técnica de grabado del punteado en busca de una mayor exactitud en su arte. Redouté logró por casualidad el apoyo de algunos de los mecenas más influyentes de la época, incluidas María Antonieta y la emperatriz Josefina Bonaparte, lo que le aseguró una buena financiación y exposición de su trabajo.Su impresionante colección comprende más de 2.000 pinturas de plantas realizadas con estricta fidelidad a las formas naturales. En esta exquisita edición de Les Roses, Redouté dirige su atención a la flor más romántica, deseable y evocadora. Publicada originalmente en tres volúmenes entre 1817 y 1824, sigue siendo su obra más famosa y celebrada.

In ascension

MacInnes, Martin

Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as an escape from her unhappy home life and volatile father. Enchanted by the undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the globe to study ancient organisms. When a trench is discovered in the Atlantic ocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth's first life forms - what she instead finds calls into question everything we know about our own beginnings.Her discovery leads Leigh to the Mojave desert and an ambitious new space agency. Drawn deeper into the agency's work, she learns that the Atlantic trench is only one of several related phenomena from across the world, each piece linking up to suggest a pattern beyond human understanding. Leigh knows that to continue working with the agency will mean leaving behind her declining mother and her younger sister, and faces an impossible choice: to remain with her family, or to embark on a journey across the breadth of the cosmos.Exploring the natural world with the wonder and reverence we usually reserve for the stars, In Ascension is a compassionate, deeply inquisitive epic that reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence, looks inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart, and shows how - no matter how far away we might be and how much we have lost hope - we will always attempt to return to the people and places we call home.

Julian Schnabel

Holzwarth, Hans Werner

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes.  Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

Opdyke, David

This Land presenta una sátira a fuego lento del sueño americano mientras se topa con la realidad del cambio climático.This Land es un mural épico creado por el artista neoyorquino David Opdyke a partir de postales estadounidenses antiguas que luego trató con desconcertantes intervenciones pintadas. Lo que al principio parece una vista panorámica a vista de pájaro de un idílico valle alpino se revela, tras un examen más detenido, como una serie de escenas y viñetas conectadas. A través de más de quinientas postales, cada una de las cuales representa una porción distinta de la cultura estadounidense idealizada (plazas de ciudades, carreteras de montaña, calles principales y sedes de condado), las alteraciones mordaces y emocionalmente discordantes de Opdyke se vuelven gradualmente evidentes.En esta remodelación profética, los bosques están en llamas, los tornados pasan de una tarjeta a la siguiente, un barco de vapor es tragado entero por una especie de nueva megafauna, las ranas caen como granizo bíblico del cielo. Las respuestas humanas forman una cacofonía de deseos y demandas, pánico y negación.Las imágenes se ven animadas a su vez por la vívida y astuta mezcla de perfil artístico e interpretación crítica de Lawrence Weschler.

Por un lado, estudian cómo las estampas permitieron dialogar con la tradición a través del Quijote o de Velázquez y cómo las obras de tema español realizadas sobre todo por artistas franceses y británicos generalizaron en el siglo XIX la imagen de un país exótico y orientalizante poblado de bandoleros, gitanos, majos y manolas que a duras penas se compadecía con la realidad. Tras detenerse en Goya y la influencia de sus series, analizan el Noucentisme catalán y la obra de figuras clave como Fortuny, trazando después la historia del grabado español durante la primera mitad del siglo XX y su recepción en Japón con artistas de la talla de Picasso, Casas, Miró, Dalí o Tàpies.

The new antiquarians
Hoy -5% en Libros

Diaz-Griffith, Michael

The once rarefied world of antiques is bursting open thanks to a new generation of collectors. The New Antiquarians features twenty-two young connoisseurs whose spirited interiors exemplify unorthodox approaches to living with history. Hailing from across the United States and Britain, they brazenly blend the old with the new, embrace anachronism and pastiche, employ serious knowledge with humor and wit, and consider vintage and historical objects through the lens of contemporary values. The New Antiquarians is an exuberant entry point into the world of antiques, highlighting one-of-a-kind collections and the single-minded collectors whose stories suggest compelling new ways of living with the past.
