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.

Described by Kenneth Clark as 'one of the most brilliant books of art criticism that I have ever read', Art and Illusion is a classic study of image-making. It seeks to answer a simple question: why is there such a thing as style? The question may be simple but there is no easy answer, and Professor Gombrich's brilliant and wide-ranging exploration of the history and psychology of pictorial representation leads him into countless crucial areas.Gombrich examines, questions and re-evaluates old and new ideas on such matters as the imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the problem of abstraction, the validity of perspective and the interpretation of expression: all of which reveal that pictorial representation is far from being a straightforward matter.First published more than 40 years ago, Art and Illusion has lost none of its vitality and importance. In applying the findings of experimental science to a nuanced understanding of art and in tackling complex ideas and theoretical issues, Gombrich is rigorous. Yet he always retains a sense of wonder at the inexhaustible capacity of the human brain, and at the subtlety of the relationships involved in seeing the world and in making and seeing art.With profound knowledge and his exceptional gift for clear exposition, he advances each argument as an hypothesis to be tested. The problems of representation are forever fundamental to the history of art: Art and Illusion remains an essential text for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of art.For the sixth edition Professor Gombrich has written an entirely new 12-page preface, in which he makes use of the distinction between an image and a sign, so as to clarify his intentions in writing the book in the first place.

Based on Lindsey Taylor’s popular Wall Street Journal column ‘Flower School,’ on its surface this book demonstrates how Taylor creates stunning but achievable floral arrangements inspired by works of art. 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.

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).

Having firmly established the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in the novels A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was retained by The Strand Magazine to contribute a series of twelve short stories, which began with A Scandal in Bohemia in 1891 and were published monthly for the next year. The stories, in which the master sleuth receives a stream of clients presenting him with baffling and bizarre mysteries in his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, were instantly popular and by the time of the publication of the final story, The Copper Beeches, they had become the mainstay of the magazine. They included such classic tales as The Five Orange Pips and The Adventure of the Speckled Band, and were gathered together in a collection known as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, representing some of the finest detective stories ever written.

El personaje, un gran éxito entre los fans y un secundario habitual en Los 4 Fantásticos, tocó la fibra sensible de Lee, quien ardía en deseos de hacerlo protagonista de sus propias historias. Pero había que esperar el momento adecuado.En la primavera de 1968, el autor y el personaje tuvieron su oportunidad, y Lee presentó el primer cómic de tamaño doble de Silver Surfer. Lee también reclutó al dibujante John Buscema, quien recientemente había contribuido con su extraordinario arte a Los Vengadores. Juntos crearon una serie de aventuras legendarias que ayudaron a definir el personaje para siempre.Este tomo XXL de tamaño cósmico de la serie Marvel Comics Library, ganadora del premio Eisner, recopila las historias más destacadas de los 18 números de Silver Surfer de 1968 (con un número final ilustrado por Jack ''King'' Kirby y reproduce fotográficamente los cómics originales mejor conservados, un trabajo realizado en estrecha colaboración con Marvel y Certified Guaranty Company.Cada página se ha fotografiado tal como se imprimió hace más de medio siglo. A continuación, se ha remasterizado digitalmente utilizando modernas técnicas de retoque para corregir problemas con la impresión económica e imperfecta de la época.

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.

A dazzling follow-up to Life as told by a Sapiens to a Neanderthal.‘We would love to discover that each species has a biological clock in its cells, because, if that clock existed and if we were able to find it, perhaps we could stop it and thus become eternal,’ Arsuaga tells Millás in this book, in which science is intertwined with literature.

And also as individuals.
