50 art movements you should know
Hoy -5% en Libros

Ormiston, Rosalind

This beautifully produced book, available in a new edition, introduces readers to the major developments in the history of modern art from Realism to the New Leipzig School.,The story of modern art begins with a revolution-when the realists started rejecting romanticism in favor of depicting life as it really was. Since that movement began in the mid-19th- century, painters have been rebelling, rethinking, deconstructing, and challenging notions of what art is. Filled with stunning reproductions of some of the world's greatest masterpieces, this reference book offers a chronological journey through artistic revolutions. Each movement is presented in a series of informative presentations-a concise definition and description, full-page and smaller detailed color illustrations, and in-depth profiles of the artists crucial to the style's development. Covering a wide range of movements both familiar and obscure, this accessible and informative volume is a perfect introduction for readers interested in art's constantly evolving story.

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''.

Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened. A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors-the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived. The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.

Volpone and the other plays
Hoy -5% en Libros

Jonson, Ben

The three plays collected in this volume depict the faults, errors and foibles of ordinary people with exuberant humour, savage satire and acute observations. Volpone portrays a rich Venetian who pretends to be dying so that his despised acquaintances will flock to his bedside with extravagant gifts in hope of an inheritance. The Alchemist also deals with greed and gullibility, as a rascally trio of confidence tricksters, claiming to have the legendary Philosopher's Stone, fool a series of victims who are hoping to make some easy money. And in a wonderfully energetic portrait of Jacobean life, Bartholomew Fair shows a diverse group of Londoners sampling the delights and temptations of the Fair - and the traders, prostitutes and cutpurses who set out to exploit them. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

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.

Images of Blessing: Dionysian Imagery in Magna Graecia
Hoy -5% en Libros

Cabrera Bonet, Paloma

Esta obra nos introduce en el interesante mundo de la cerámica italiana de la época clásica, en la que los motivos representados con más frecuencia eran Dioniso y su reino. La aproximación de la autora a esta cuestión es fundamentalmente iconográfica, pero no se limita a esta perspectiva, ya que analiza e interpreta la cerámica dionisiaca desde su profundo conocimiento de la filosofía y de la religión antigua. De este modo, Paloma Cabrera da cuenta de las dimensiones filosóficas, literarias y religiosas de las ideas que sugiere la imaginería de las numerosas vasijas analizadas y expuestas en el libro. Pero la obra no solo se mueve en el plano ideal, sino que también alcanza a los intereses prácticos de los antiguos usuarios de estos útiles: revela sus visiones sobre la vida y la muerte, sobre la tristeza y la felicidad, sobre el sentido, en último término, de su mundo cotidiano. La obra se encuentra profusamente veteada por imágenes de vasijas antiguas que serán del gusto de arqueólogos e historiadores.

Mr Lynch's holiday
Hoy -5% en Libros

O'Flynn, Catherine

Retired bus driver and recent widower Dermot Lynch grabs his bags from the bus's dusty undercarriage and begins to climb the hill to his son's house. It is Dermot's first time in Spain and the first time he's been out of Birmingham in many years. When he finally arrives at the gates of the crumbling development, Dermot learns that Eamonn, only one of a handful of settlers in the half-finished ghost town of Lomaverde, has fallen prey to an alluring vision and is upside down in a dream that is slipping away. But Dermot finds something beautiful and nostalgic in Lomaverde's decline—something that is reminiscent of his childhood in Ireland. Soon he is the center of attention in the tiny group of expats where paranoid speculation, goat hunting, and drinking are just some of the ways to pass the days. As the happenings in Lomaverde take a strange turn, father and son slowly begin to peel back their pasts, and they uncover a shocking secret at the heart of this ad hoc community. With the depth, grace, and wry authenticity that have characterized Catherine O'Flynn's previous work, Mr. Lynch's Holiday gives us a story that again shimmers with the power of good old realism (Jane Smiley, The LA Times) about love, connection, and a father and son finding each other exactly when they need it most.

New Surrealism
Hoy -5% en Libros

Zeller, Robert

New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting de Robert Zeller ofrece una amplia exposición tanto del Surrealismo histórico como de su legado en el mundo del arte.Demuestra las muchas maneras en que el movimiento artístico más significativo del siglo pasado sigue siendo relevante hoy en día, presentando una selección internacional de artistas contemporáneos cuyas composiciones y práctica de estudio revelan su influencia.Son muchas las modalidades del Surrealismo histórico que aún mantienen su vigencia contemporánea: la presentación de lo familiar como desconocido e inquietante, la yuxtaposición de imágenes aparentemente inconexas, el uso del absurdo para criticar cuestiones políticas o sociales, y la utilización de imágenes eróticas en un contexto irracional y no lineal. No todos los artistas reunidos en este libro se identifican a sí mismos como surrealistas, pero cada uno utiliza alguna variante del surrealismo de manera personal.El libro comienza con un estudio de los orígenes, el liderazgo, los artistas participantes y los principales hitos del surrealismo histórico. Zeller hace una crónica del movimiento a partir del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el nacimiento de Dadá. Los protagonistas y acontecimientos más importantes aparecen a lo largo de la cronología de los hechos -incluida la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y artistas tan notables como Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington y muchos otros- hasta la muerte de su líder André Breton en 1966.A continuación, Zeller analiza cómo se ponen en práctica los elementos del Nuevo Surrealismo en el mundo del arte contemporáneo. La segunda sección ofrece un estudio de 29 artistas contemporáneos que participan en las variaciones aparentemente ilimitadas de los temas originales del Nuevo Surrealismo, como Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown y Arghavan Khosravi. La tercera sección presenta a 14 artistas, entre ellos importantes artistas contemporáneos como Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey y Anna Weyant, que hablan de la influencia del Surrealismo en su práctica de estudio, detallando con sus propias palabras cómo crean una composición de principio a fin.
