The first complete monograph on Antonio Lopez, the influential Warholian fashion illustrator of the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s.

Best known for dazzling illustrations in Women’s Wear Daily, Vogue, the New York Times, Interview, and for high fashion labels, Antonio Lopez (1943–1987) was a force majeur in the fashion world for three decades.

In the ‘60s, Lopez’s vibrant illustrations helped usher youth culture into the pages of magazines, setting a new, free-flowing, sexually liberated standard for fashion imagery. Living in Paris during the 70s with his creative partner Juan Ramos, Lopez launched the modeling careers of Jerry Hall, Grace Jones, and Jessica Lange among others worked with design royalty like Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent and cultivated a soigné nightlife persona in the blistering-hot underground clubs of Paris. Returning to New York City in 1976, Antonio documented the sexy influence of athletic wear, puffy, down coats, and break-dancing style, inspiring such designers as Norma Kamali and Anna Sui. 

Widely recognized during this period as the world’s most influential fashion illustrator, Antonio’s work took on a deeper, more sculptural dimension in the 80s, richly detailed, with a vivid palette, and heroic proportions and poses. So deft and varied in his expression, Antonio Lopez simultaneously executed campaigns for labels as diverse as Norma Kamali, YSL, Valentino, Missoni, and Versace - an unprecedented feat in a highly competitive industry.

The prolific Lopez produced an incredible number of drawings, illustrations, paintings, photographs, and fantastic mixed-media journals, and this book showcases his most iconic works, as well as never-before-seen Instamatic photos, behind-the-scenes Polaroids, letters, and ephemera which, together, provide an understanding of the career trajectory of an extraordinarily talented artist, and convey Antonio Lopez’s enduring influence on fashion today.

"I’m from the generation that came to New York to meet their idols. In my case, it was Andy Warhol and Antonio Lopez." - Anna Sui

Именно итальянскому искусству мы обязаны появлением на свет причудливых форм и узоров - арабесок. Под влиянием арабского искусства, распространение которого началось в портовом городе Венеции, художники эпохи Возрождения стали использовать переплетение лиственных орнаментов в виде завитков для архитектурных украшений зданий, в садово-парковом искусстве, росписи тканей, книгопечатании, при украшении оружия, ваз и других предметов повседневной жизни. Извилистые линии арабесок стали символом роскоши, они изображались на изделиях из камня, металла, керамики, стекла и кожи в самых разнообразных комбинациях.

В каллиграфии также стали использовать арабески, и вскоре декоративные буквы затерялись в лабиринте украшений, в результате чего декоративное письмо стало само по себе искусством.

Леонардо да Винчи очень увлекался искусством арабесок. Наряд Моны Лизы украшен арабесками, так же как и стены и потолок Зала дела Ассе (Ослиной комнаты) в Замке Сфорца. Работу мастера скопирован Альбрехт Дюрер, создавший серию Шесть узлов под влиянием гравюр Леонардо.
Большим успехом пользовались работы и других немецких мастеров, в частности Виргилия Солиса, Петера Флетнера, Теодора де Бри. Вскоре, объятые взаимной страстью к арабескам, итальянские мастера стали копировать узоры своих немецких коллег!
В этой энциклопедии приведены самые яркие примеры данного вида искусства.

Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de faire mieux connaître l’art qui s’exprime dans l’habillage de l’architecture marocaine, en donnant à voir un grand nombre de réalisations mais aussi, et c’est là son originalité, en délivrant des clés pour une meilleure compréhension de l’arabesque géométrique et un accès facile à la pratique créative de l’art. Nous souhaitons ainsi contribuer à la diffusion d’un savoir rare et précieux élaboré par le travail obstiné de générations d’artistes anonymes. Après un rapide exposé historique destiné à cerner la spécificité de l’art islamique au Maroc, nous étudions les trois principales familles du décor dans l’architecture : la calligraphie, l’arabesque florale et, surtout, le décor géométrique qui fournit la matière la plus originale et approfondie du livre. L’exposé technique s’appuie sur le dessin - sans ou avec l’ordinateur - et est accompagné de nombreuses photographies prises dans les plus beaux sites (monuments, palais royaux, cités) du Maroc. Pour le plaisir des yeux... et de l’esprit.

This volume throws light upon an art expression to be found clad in the garments of Moroccan architecture. This work provides keys to the understanding of geometrical arabesques. This art of a rare and precious mastery was elaborated through the determined efforts of generations of anonymous artists. A brief historical survey defines the specificity of Islamic art in Morocco.

Three principal styles of decorative architecture are studied: calligraphy, floral arabesque, and geometrical arabesque. Illustrations and photographs of some of the most beautiful sites of Morocco (monuments, royal palaces and cities) are a pleasure for the eye.
