The official behind-the-scenes art book for Sony Pictures Animation’s feature film The Mitchells vs. The Machines.

Foreword by Debbie Rianda

Ramin Zahed’s The Art of The Mitchells vs. The Machines gives insight into how the filmmakers behind Sony Pictures Animation’s movie The Mitchells vs. The Machines were able to bring a fresh, new vision to the screen through concept art, sketches, and early character designs. The book also features exclusive commentary from director/cowriter Michael Rianda and codirector/cowriter Jeff Rowe, alumni of the team behind Emmy Award-winning Gravity Falls, and producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the innovative and creative minds behind The LEGO Movie and the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines is an animated action-comedy about an ordinary family who find themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet . . . saving the world from the robot apocalypse. No big deal, right? It all starts after creative outsider Katie Mitchell is accepted into the film school of her dreams and is eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally-not-awkward-or-forced road trip. But just when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of a robot uprising! Everything from smartphones to Roombas to evil Furbys is employed to capture every human on the planet. Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom, Linda, quirky little brother, Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly but simple-minded robots to save humanity.

Featuring the voices of Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Beck Bennett, Fred Armisen, Eric Andre, and Oscar winner Olivia Colman, The Mitchells vs. The Machines is about embracing the things that make us unique, learning what it means to be human in a world increasingly filled with technology, and holding tight to the people most important to you when the unexpected hits.

Класичний бестселер про легенду анімації Уолта Діснея від автора та фотографа Крістофера Фінча — переглянуто та оновлено, щоб відсвяткувати 100 років чудес Disney

З моменту вперше опублікованого в 1973 році The Art of Walt Disney: From Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdoms and Beyond зарекомендувало себе як незамінна класика видавництва ілюстрованих книг, розійшовшись сотнями тисяч примірників. Пропонуючи вичерпну історію та данину кар’єрі та спадщині Уолта Діснея, книга першою розкрила багатство концепт-арту, анімаційних малюнків та архівних матеріалів, які створюються під час створення анімаційних фільмів.

Ця революційна робота, яка тепер повертається до друку на честь 100-річчя Disney Wonder, збирає століття позачасової анімації.

- Передмова легендарного мультиплікатора Disney Флойда Нормана («Спляча красуня», «Сто один далматинець», «Мері Поппінс» і «Книга джунглів»).
- Вперше представлено в розкішному футлярі з фольги та палітурці з натуральної тканини з тисненням фольгою

Про авторів:

Крістофер Фінч був автором багатьох книг про мистецтво в Америці, зокрема Chuck Close: Work, Chuck Close: Life, Norman Rockwell’s America, та Jim Henson: The Works. 

У віці 88 років легенда Діснея Флойд Норман (аніматор, оповідач і улюблений «порушник спокою») є образом наполегливості в анімаційній індустрії.Як перший афроамериканський мультиплікатор у Disney, який прибув у 1956 році, Флойд працював над такими класичними творами, як «Спляча красуня», «Сто один далматинець», «Мері Поппінс» і «Книга джунглів». В останньому титулі Флойд був обраний Уолтом Діснеєм, щоб приєднатися до сюжетної команди. Вражені? Це лише початок його 67-річної роботи в анімації, як розповідається в його документальному фільмі Floyd Norman: An Animated Life.

Привнесіть красу природи у свій дім та свій спосіб життя, незалежно від того, де ви живете, за допомогою вишуканих квіткових композицій, а також квітучих рослин для приміщень та вулиці.

The Artistry of Flowers заохочує кожного жити з квітами та цінувати їхню красу так само, як ми цінуємо мистецтво. Відома флористична дизайнерка Габріела Салазар вчить нас дивитися на квіти та розуміти їхні характеристики з точки зору художника. Досліджуючи різні форми, кольори та текстури, вона показує нам, як розуміти квіти та їхню живу, швидкоплинну природу.

Спираючись на свій досвід живопису, Салазар розглядає квіткові композиції як композиції. Вона підкреслює, які типи квітів найкраще підходять для різних дизайнів, та ділиться основними принципами для створення квіткових дизайнів, починаючи від простих і скульптурних до складних і барвистих, включаючи композиції для будь-якого настрою та різного декору. Салазар надихає нас досліджувати свою творчість, надаючи нам можливість створювати власні композиції.

Поєднуючи філософські та практичні поради, такі як оцінка того, як квіти змінюються з часом, та робота з крихкістю, The Artistry of Flowers – це трактат про цінування квітів. Приголомшливі фотографії Нгок Мінь Нго, відомої за такими книгами Rizzoli, як In Bloom та Eden Revisited, доповнюють захоплені уроки Салазара.

Our lives are filled with objects. Everyday things used in everyday settings, they are our constant companions. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - an aesthetic fulfilment of our practical needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty. Long revered as the authority on craftsmanship and Japanese aesthetics, Yanagi devoted his life and writing to defend the value of craft. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, this now-classic book is a call for each of us to deepen our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple artisans Yanagi encountered on his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, it is a heartfelt defence of modest, honest, handcrafted objects, from traditional teacups to jars to paper. Objects that exemplify the beauty of everyday things.

"Radical and inspiring ... Yanagi's vision puts the connection between heart and hand before the transient and commercial" - Edmund de Waal
"Soetsu Yanagi's unerring eye has influenced generations of makers. His notion of Zen and the art of design continues to inspire all those involved in shaping our everyday world" - Jasper Morrison

About the Author:

Soetsu Yanagi (1889 - 1961) was a philosopher, art historian, aesthete and poet. He evolved a theory of why certain objects made by unknown craftsmen were so beautiful, and became the founding father of the Japanese folk crafts ('mingei') movement. He helped establish, and was the first director of, the Japanese Folk Crafts Museum.

The third volume in this luxurious series, this work is a celebration of the most precious objects of the Cartier Collection.

The Cartier Collection, housed in Geneva, Switzerland, gathers together over 1,360 pieces that reveal the stylistic and technical developments in the creations of this world-renowned house. Following the previous works in this series devoted to Cartier’s jewelry and timepieces, this third volume explores the precious objects and accessories that complete the collection: from opulent gold and black enamel vanity cases set with platinum and rose-cut diamond fleurons to exquisite and stylish cigarette holders, belt buckles, hat pins, and evening bags. The jeweler has always placed great emphasis on male elegance and an array of men’s accessories is also showcased, including polished gold razors, sophisticated leather travel bags, and diamond-encrusted platinum and onyx cuff links.

From the extravagant yet sublime Tutti Frutti evening bag, made of a weave of seed pearls and dripping with gold, diamond, ruby, emerald, and sapphire details, to exotic and intricate Chinese powder compacts, these creations are works of fine art. This handsome volume recounts the history of the House of Cartier and its sublimation of often everyday items, which became veritable precious objects. The text is illustrated with more than 550 pieces taken from the collection ― beautifully reproduced in full size and in color ― which can usually only be admired in retrospective exhibitions held in internationally-renowned museums. Other archival material includes photographs of high society clients, detailed sketches and studies for various pieces, and vintage advertising posters.

Presented in a luxurious silk slipcase with ribbon closure, this tome is a tribute to some of the most exquisite objects in the Cartier Collection.
