This oversized collector’s edition showcases antique paintings and drawings of birds and animals from the most important natural history collection in France.

An unparalleled collection of the most beautiful—yet scientific—depictions of flora and fauna ever produced, these artworks document three centuries of exploration of the far reaches of the world—a rich visual record harking back to a time when science relied upon painstaking human illustration as the only way to record exotic plants and unknown animals observed during voyages of discovery.

All the artworks included here were depicted on vellum, a high-quality, long-lasting parchment that fell out of use around 1900 when it was supplanted by photography. France’s national collection consists of over 7,000 such artworks and is among the world’s finest. Flora and fauna from every corner of the globe are represented in precisely rendered color and detail.

Sadly, many of the species depicted in these masterful yet hauntingly accurate portraits are now endangered, threatened—or in many cases, already extinct. This volume is both a celebration of the human quest for knowledge and an epitaph for a fast disappearing world—as well as a feast for the eyes for anyone who loves birds or vintage natural history art. This exquisite and timeless book is beautifully presented in a jacketed volume within a slipcase and luxuriously packaged within an illustrated mailer with a handle for portability.

One Big Slice of Cheesecake. Pin-up travels the long road from barracks wall to high art

Since TASCHEN released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Paintings by leading artists such as Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren that sold for $ 2,000 in 1996 are going for $ 200,000 and more today. Pin-up — drawings, paintings, and pastels of an idealized female face and figure intended for public display — was produced between 1920 and 1970 for calendars, magazine covers, and centerfolds. The majority of original paintings were discarded by publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the surviving art that much more precious.

Based on the formidably sized Art of Pin-up, this accessible edition gathers nearly 100 artists alongside in-depth showcases of the top 10 names in the game. Each chapter opens with a reproduction of an original calendar or magazine cover by that artist. The reproduction quality of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory sketches that follow — largely sourced from the original art — invites the viewer to trace the brushstrokes, while the exquisite period calendars, vintage prints, and original model photos document the artists’ creative process. Much of these ephemera were photographed on-site at the historic Brown & Bigelow Company, home to the world’s largest archive of vintage pin-up calendars.

In addition to the chapters on the 10 featured artists, the book includes bios and art of 85 painters, the most complete compendium of pin-up artists ever compiled. All this adds up to a hard-to-beat book on this popular subject.

Illustration’s Finest. A global compilation of 100 must-know artists

For all those who thought digital heralded the end of an era: illustration is alive and kicking, and new tools have given the art renewed vigour and the illustrator greater stamina. Steven Heller and Julius Wiedemann present a snapshot of “the new golden age of illustration,” rounding up 100 of the most talented artists around the world. We dare you to pick your favourites.

For the last ten years, Steven Heller and Julius Wiedemann have traced the latest developments in illustration across the globe — and for all those who thought digital heralded the end of an era, they’re here to set the record straight.

There were extraordinary eras before mass media changed our viewing habits, back in the day when illustration was the most primary means of illuminating the word on paper, to today when we get our words and images on screens as small as a watch face. And in this environment, today’s designers and artists are holding their own brilliantly. Illustration is more free and varied than ever, and it is ubiquitous in all kinds of media from paper to screen, books, packages, clothing, cars, and restaurants.

This book celebrates the sheer quality, diversity, intensity, comedy, vivacity, and exceptionality of the work being created by illustrators right now. From veteran artists like Brad Holland, whose oblique and metaphorical paintings for the New York Times’ op-ed section revolutionized illustrative content in the 1970s, to up-and-coming stars like Robin Eisenberg, her pastel-skinned alien belles cruising in spaceships on indie-rock album covers, the 100 artists in this collection are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, but they represent a compelling snapshot of the styles, techniques, and use of colour by artists across the world. We dare you to pick your favourites.

Перше комплексне дослідження листівок, які використовувалися як пропаганда з усіх сторін великих військових і політичних конфліктів ХХ століття, включаючи Першу та Другу світові війни

Російський робітник-есер піднімає червоний прапор. Натовпи обожнювачів вітають Гітлера і Муссоліні. Дядько Сем наказує американцям записатися. Ці та багато інших зображень, які розповсюджувалися мільйонами на листівках, мали на меті змінити думку та надихнути на дії під час двох світових воєн. Незалежно від того, чи були вони створені урядовими бюро пропаганди, опортуністичними видавцями, організаціями допомоги чи рухами опору, листівки передавали свої повідомлення з яскравою графікою, змістовними гаслами та різкими карикатурами – і в унікальному особистому форматі. Понад 350 листівок, відтворених у повному кольорі в цій книзі, виступають за політичні причини та вшановують військові зусилля всіх сторін у великих конфліктах першої половини двадцятого століття. Супровідний текст показує, як всюдисуща форма зв’язку служила все більш витонченим кампаніям в епоху пропаганди, і висвітлює зібрані тут листівки як безцінні історичні документи та шедеври графічного дизайну.

The Purple Book – це розкішна збірка сучасної ілюстрації, що досліджує фантазію, чуттєвість та еротичну уяву. Вона висвітлює візуальне мистецтво та письмове слово як засоби для представлення зв'язку людського бажання зі станом мрії, вигадкою та символізмом.

Значна частина робіт ілюстраторів, що досліджують ці теми, є неопублікованими, особистими роботами, і багато робіт тут вперше з'являються у друкованому вигляді. Окрім скарбниці портфоліо 21 найкращого міжнародного сучасного ілюстратора, серія спеціально замовлених робіт ілюструє п'ять класичних літературних текстів, які надихнули теми «Пурпурової книги». Особистості, що стоять за цією замовленою роботою, розкриваються через інтерв'ю з їхніми творцями, досліджуючи творчий процес, що стоїть за їхніми візуальними фантазіями, та те, як це перетворюється на кінцевий твір мистецтва.

Назва книги натхненна The Yellow Book, періодичним виданням, що видавалося в 1890-х роках і спочатку художньо керованим Обрі Бердслі. Хоча жовтий колір у 1890-х роках символізував сміливо розпусне, сьогодні фіолетовий колір є синонімом розкішності та чуттєвості.

This macabre tale — part dark fantasy, part Gray’s Anatomy — tells the chilling story of a man driven mad by his search for the truth, with hypnotic and horrifying images.

Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages — and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: that the mythological beasts of legend and lore — including mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs — were in fact humanity’s evolutionary ancestors. And beyond that, he wonders: what if there was a way for humanity to reach the fuller potential these ancestors implied?

The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first part is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, his cruel and crazed experiments, and, finally, his mysterious disappearance. The second part is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts, all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations.
