Мистецтво

Глибоко досліджуйте людську форму, від концептуальних ескізів і арматури до докладних інструкцій для побудови ніг, тулуба, рук, рук і голови з глини.

У Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay відомий скульптор і викладач Крістіна Кордова навчить усьому, що вам потрібно знати, щоб відтворити повну людську фігуру за допомогою глини.

- Почніть із розробки змістовних ескізів і орієнтирів.
- Тоді навчіться виготовляти та використовувати арматуру для створення порожнистих форм, безпечних для спалювання в печі.
- Використовуючи візерунки та плити, ви можете розвивати повну людську форму від голови до ніг.
- Попрацюйте разом з автором, щоб створити форму приблизно два фути заввишки, або виберіть власний розмір: шаблони та інструкції можуть працювати в різних масштабах.

Фотодемонстрації та схеми охоплюють конструкцію та артикуляцію стоп і ніг, стегон і верхньої частини тулуба, рук, кистей, шиї та голови. Крістіна містить додаткові поради та ідеї для підтримки процесу ліплення та підвищення натуралізму. Ви також знайдете короткий розділ про загальні анатомічні концепції і стратегії моделювання для полегшення точності та виразності, коли всі компоненти поєднуються разом.

Незалежно від того, чи ви художник із глини з обмеженим досвідом у фігурній скульптурі або фігуративний скульптор за межами світу кераміки, який шукає просту стратегію виготовлення для створення постійних композицій із глини, Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay кваліфіковано допоможе вам.

This generously illustrated volume on the work of Leonardo da Vinci makes the world’s greatest art accessible to readers of every level of appreciation

Although less than twenty of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are known to exist today, some of them - the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, along with his drawing of the Vitruvian Man - are among the most identifiable, reproduced, and popular works in the world. This monograph explores Leonardo as not just a painter but also a scientist, naturalist, architect, and engineer, showing how the artist's oeuvre reflected his boundless curiosity and imagination. Overflowing with impeccably reproduced images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details - allowing the viewer to appreciate every aspect of the artist's technique and oeuvre. Chronologically arranged, the book covers important biographical and historic events that reflect the latest scholarship. Additional information includes a list of works, timeline, and suggestions for further reading.

This generously illustrated volume on the work of Monet makes the world’s greatest art accessible to readers of every level of appreciation.

Monet’s dazzling depictions of flowers, sunsets, fields, and oceans, in which line and shape are suggested through pure color, changed the way we perceive our natural surroundings. His numerous series, in which he depicts the same object at varying times of the day and in different seasons, pushed the limits of representational art. His final series of water lilies are considered to have ushered in the abstract movement of the twentieth century. Overflowing with images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details, allowing every aspect of the artist’s technique and oeuvre to be appreciated. Chronologically arranged, the book covers important biographical and historic events that reflect the latest scholarship. Additional information includes a list of works, timeline, and suggestions for further reading.

This generously illustrated volume on the work of Jan van Eyck makes the world’s greatest art accessible to readers of every level of appreciation

As a 15th-century Flemish painter who spent most of his life in Bruges, Van Eyck was revered for his innovative manipulation of oil paint. Overflowing with impeccably reproduced images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details, allowing the viewer to appreciate every aspect of the artist’s technique and oeuvre.

The stained glass collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum is the largest in the world, making it possible to chart the development of the art in detail from the middle of the twelfth century to about 1550.

One hundred colour plates, and selected details, show the collection to full advantage, while commentaries on each of the pieces will reconstruct the original context of the panels, explain the imagery and give details of further reading thus also providing an indispensable introduction to the subject. The text will touch on the techniques of stained glass, the major centres and monuments and the themes depicted in the pieces illustrated. Taken together, images and text illuminate a golden age of stained glass production.

A macabre, spectacular and thought-provoking survey of human remains used in decorative, commemorative or devotional contexts across the world today, from the author of Heavenly Bodies and The Empire of Death.

Memento Mori takes the reader on a ghoulish but beautiful tour of some of the world’s more unusual sacred sites and traditions, in which human remains are displayed for the benefit of the living. From burial caves in Indonesia festooned with bones, to skulls smoking cigarettes, wearing beanie hats and sunglasses, and decorated with garlands of flowers in South America, Paul Koudounaris ventures beyond the grave to find messages of hope and salvation. His glorious colour photographs and informed commentaries reveal that in many places, the realms of the living and the dead are nowhere near so distinct as contemporary Western society would have us believe.

Contents List:

Introduction: Memento Mori
1. The Dead Will Rise: Macabre Masterpieces of the Nineteenth Century
2. The Gates of Paradise: Bones and Salvation in the Christian Tradition
3. They Walk Among Us: Mysterious Burial Caves in Asia
4. Blessed Souls: Elaborate Ossuaries in the Catholic World
5. They Shall Not Perish: Memorials in Bone to Victims of Tragedy
6. Remains to be Seen: Mummies and other Exquisite Corpses
7. Crossing the Border: The Living and the Dead in Bolivia
8. Heavenly Glory: Decorated Bones from Around the World

About the Author:

Paul Koudounaris has a doctorate in Art History from the University of California and has written widely on European ossuaries and charnel houses for both academic and popular journals. He is also the author of Heavenly Bodies and Empire of Death, both published by Thames & Hudson.

Men to Avoid in Art and Life pairs classical fine art with modern captions that epitomize the spirit of mansplaining.

This hilarious book perfectly captures those relatable moments when a man explains to a woman a subject about which he knows considerably less than she does.
Situations include men sharing keen insight on the female anatomy, an eloquent defence of catcalling or offering sage advice about horseback riding to the woman who owns the horse.

- These less qualified men of antiquity dish out mediocrity as if it's pure genius
- For the women who have endured overbearing men over the centuries
- Written with hilariously painful accuracy

"Now, when you're riding a horse, you need to make sure to keep a good grip on the reins." "These are my horses."

Through cringe-induced empathy, this timeless gift book of shared experiences unites women across history in one of the most powerful forms of resistance: laughter.

- Started as a Twitter thread and quickly gained widespread popularity.
- Makes a perfect book for women and feminists with a wry sense of humor, millennials, anyone who loves memes and Internet humor, as well as history and art buffs.

Remembering Starman. Mick Rock’s legendary photos of the late artist

A unique tribute from David Bowie’s official photographer and creative partner, Mick Rock, compiled in 2015, with Bowie’s blessing.

In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With it landed Bowie’s Stardust alter ego: a glitter-clad, mascara-eyed, sexually ambiguous persona who kicked down the boundaries between male and female, straight and gay, fact and fiction into one shifting and sparkling phenomenon of ’70s self-expression. Together, Ziggy the album and Ziggy the stage spectacular propelled the softly spoken Londoner into one of the world’s biggest stars.

A key passenger on this glam trip into the stratosphere was fellow Londoner and photographer Mick Rock. Rock bonded with Bowie artistically and personally immersed himself in the singer’s inner circle, and, between 1972 and 1973, worked as the singer’s photographer and videographer.

This collection brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photoshoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits. It celebrates Bowie’s fearless experimentation and reinvention while offering privileged access to the many facets of his personality and fame. Through the aloof and approachable, the playful and serious, the candid and the contrived, the result is a passionate tribute to a brilliant and inspirational artist whose creative vision will never be forgotten.

The photographer:

Mick Rock was born in London in 1948 and is known as “The Man who shot the seventies.” As well as David Bowie, he has photographed Lou Reed, Queen, Iggy Pop, Roxy Music and Blondie. He also produced and directed music videos for the classic Bowie songs: “John, I’m Only Dancing”, “The Jean Genie”, “Space Oddity” and “Life On Mars?”. Rock has had major exhibitions in London, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

The authors:

Barney Hoskyns was born in London in 1959. He is the editorial director of Rock’s Backpages, the online library of pop writing and journalism, and a former staff writer at the New Musical Express, contributing editor to Vogue, and U.S. correspondent for MOJO. He is the author of the Tom Waits biography Lowside of the Road (2009) and Trampled Under Foot, the oral history of Led Zeppelin (2012).

Michael Bracewell was born in London in 1958 and has written widely on modern and contemporary art and culture. His more recent publications include Richard Hamilton: Late Works, and Damien Hirst: The Complete Psalm Paintings. He has contributed to The Faber Book of Pop and The Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Fashion Writing.

Mighty Marvel Calendar Book: A Visual History представляє сім років історії Marvel у цій неймовірній вітрині, де представлено мистецтво деяких із найкращих ілюстраторів, які малювали історії для Дому ідей.

З 1975 по 1981 рік Marvel створив сім послідовних календарів, які були настільки ж художньо оформлені та захоплююче написані, як і будь-який їхній комікс. Кожен із цих щорічних календарів — незалежно від того, святкували вони 200-річчя (1976) чи висвітлювали певного персонажа, такого як Людина-павук (1978), Халк (1979) чи Доктор Стрендж (1980), містив героїв і лиходіїв у всьому пантеоні Всесвіту Marvel — і всі вони мали спільні натхненні риси. До них входили візуальні заклики до днів народження відомих співробітників і творців Marvel; ключові моменти в історії Marvel; спеціальні події, відомі цитати з улюблених випусків уболівальників та інші святкові згадки; з ексклюзивним мистецтвом від культових художників Marvel, створеним спеціально для цих календарів Джеком Кірбі, Джоном Бушемою, Джоном Бірном, Френком Міллером, Уолтером Сімонсоном, Гілом Кейном, Джорджем Пересом, Джином Коланом, Джимом Старліном, Селом Бушемою, Майком Плугом та десятками інших.

Ніколи раніше все це дивовижне мистецтво не було перевидано, і повний набір обкладинок, інтер’єрів і чудово оформлених щомісячних записів відтворено в оригінальному розмірі в цьому чудовому великому пакеті у твердій палітурці. Також включено нові коментарі, рідкісні рекламні матеріали та вступ давнього письменника/редактора/історика Marvel Роя Томаса. Можливо, роки цокають, але робота, зібрана в цій особливій книзі, залишається поза часом!

"Ці календарі демонструють одні з найкращих творів мистецтва, коли-небудь створених у коміксах. Я дуже-довго чекав цієї книги". — Алекс Росс

Told in revelatory detail, this is the definitive exploration of the writing, recording and release of John Lennon’s celebrated fourth solo album Mind Games

Described by Yoko Ono as ‘ahead of its time’, Mind Games is a breakthrough album from John Lennon in which he employs a Plastic Ono Band comprising the cream of the crop of New York session musicians – a fan favourite that remains a cult classic ever since its first release on 29 October 1973. This insightful and beautiful book presents handwritten lyrics, letters and artworks by Lennon and Ono, and previously unseen photography alongside their firsthand commentary about the lyrics, songs and album artwork, as well as contributions from the musicians, friends, engineers and key figures involved in the making of this landmark album.

Mind Games was the product of an exceptionally turbulent time for the Lennons. While Nixon and Hoover were attempting to have Lennon deported, John and Yoko endured endless litigations, and as the popular press turned on them once again, they bravely rose above it all, continuing their campaigns for non-violent peaceful protest to end the war in Vietnam and for equal rights for women. It was also an exciting time, when they both re-embraced mysticism and magical thinking. In this sumptuous volume, text and images from the key players are woven together to reveal not only the details behind the creation, recording and release of this groundbreaking commercial and skilfully crafted recording, but also to shed new light on a period of transformation and experimentation for Lennon and Ono.

Publication of this volume will coincide with extensive publicity surrounding the release of an exceptional, completely remixed and reissued 6 x CD / 2 x BluRay digital edition of Mind Games, together with two deluxe Mind Games boxsets, bringing the album to a new generation of listeners.

About the Authors:

John Lennon (1940–1980) was an English singer, songwriter and peace activist who co-founded the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. To date, his solo releases have generated equivalent album sales of over 74 million. Yoko Ono is a globally renowned multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and activist. She married John Lennon in 1969 and became his creative partner and muse. She continues to work to preserve his legacy, funding, among other projects, Strawberry Fields in Manhattan’s Central Park, the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland and the 'Imagine There’s No Hunger' campaign.
