Dans les pays de montagnes lorsque la neige empêche toute activité agricole, beaucoup de paysans passaient leur temps à sculpter le bois des meubles et des objets domestiques. Cette tradition est très vivace au Queyras, région montagneuse du Dauphiné, qui a développé une sculpture au couteau principalement géométrique appliquée sur bien des objets d’art populaire. La technique en est simple : elle ne nécessite qu’un couteau bien affûté (l’auteur utilise un simple Opinel) et une grande précision dans le tracé. Les essences traditionnellement utilisées sont le pin cembro et le tilleul.

Guy Thory nous présente ici plusieurs centaines de modèles de sculpture sur bois - motifs ornementaux, motifs géométriques – et nous explique chaque fois leur réalisation grâce à un dessin précis et une photo du motif réalisé.

Le livre est agrémenté de nombreuses photos de meubles anciens appartenant au Musée Dauphinois de Grenoble et au Musée départemental de Gap dont beaucoup, comme les fameux coffres de mariage, sont des chefs-d’œuvre d’art populaire et de sculpture sur bois au couteau.

Sommaire :
Les bases : bois, outillage, histoire de la rosace, motifs traditionnels, tracés de base, exemples d’art populaire.
Les modèles : rosaces, croix pattées, soleils, palmettes, lentilles, dents de loup, étoiles, croisillons, dessins composés, couteaux et gouges, motifs floraux, dessins italiens, chiffres et lettres. 

У книзі Morpho: Fat and Skin Folds художник і викладач Мішель Лаурічелла представляє унікальний підхід до навчання малюванню людського тіла. Типовий підхід до викладання анатомії та ескізування людської форми найчастіше зосереджується на скелеті та мускулатурі. Часто ігнорується сама шкіра — як вона рухається та які вирази вона створює, коли тіло рухається та змінює положення. Ця книга представляє спрощене та практичне бачення жирових та шкірних складок людського тіла, щоб допомогти вам у навчанні малюванню, заохочуючи як точність, так і багате, різноманітне зображення людської форми. Розрахована на художників усіх рівнів — від початківців до професіоналів — ця зручна книга кишенькового формату допоможе розпалити вашу уяву та творчість.

A passionate assertion of the relevance of painting today, exploring how this traditional medium has been re-approached and reimagined by artists working across the globe

Painting is a continually expanding and evolving form of creative expression. The radical changes in the medium that took place in the 1960s and 70s - the period that saw the shift from a modernist to a postmodernist visual language - have led to painting's continued energy and diversity.

Renowned critic and art historian Suzanne Hudson provides an intelligent and original survey of contemporary painting - a critical snapshot that brings together more than 200 artists from around the world who are defining the painterly ideas and aesthetics of our time.

A contextual introduction maps out the history of painting in the modern and postmodern eras, followed by six chapters that explores the themes of appropriation, attitude, production and distribution, the body, painting about painting, and painters who introduce performance, installation and textiles into their work to critique painting itself.

The book features artists both well known and emerging, including Franz Ackermann, Angela de la Cruz, Urs Fischer, Katharina Grosse, Subodh Gupta, Wade Guyton, Julie Mehretu, Vik Muniz, Neo Rauch, Wilhelm Sasnal, Kara Walker, Christopher Wool, Yue Minjun and Zhang Xiaogang.

Compellingly argued and beautifully illustrated, Painting Now is an invaluable primer on the state of painting today and essential reading for all those interested in contemporary art, art history and criticism.

This book combines Robert W. Gill’s two classic volumes – Basic Perspective and Creative Perspective – to provide a complete, clear and simple explanation of the principles of perspective. It demonstrates that an understanding of them – even in our technology-led world – is the key for architects and designers who want to produce great work.

Perspective: From Basic to Creative provides:
• The all-in-one authoritative guide to perspective that all designers, architects and students need on their shelves.
• Accessible text and timeless illustrations giving explanations of visual principles and step-by-step demonstrations of how to create accurate and convincing artwork.
• A complete set of creative tools enabling you to gain a mastery of the illusion of perspective on page or screen.

A survey of the fine illustration work that was done in Britain in the 20th century, focusing particularly on the work of staff and students of Central Saint Martins. It looks at not only book illustration for both adults and children but also fashion illustration, comics and cartoons, and commercial illustrations such as the 1930s classic posters for London Transport and Shell.

Designing a captivating creature simply for it to exist against a white background and going no further is a purely academic exercise. Designing a creature that can survive in a world, interact with its own and other species, and go on to make an impact, is designing with intent. This is the end goal of creature design and what you will witness in this latest book from industry expert Terryl Whitlatch.

With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, developing creatures for Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace and Beowulf, among other films, Whitlatch offers an abundance of valuable advice throughout the Principles of Creature Design. For Whitlatch, there’s no limit to what can be imagined with an open mind, though the journey may not always be an easy one. It’s what she calls “chasing the unicorn.” We will surely enjoy joining her on her journey, filled with creatures so vivid, whimsical, and elaborate that we will wish — or wonder if — they are real.

About the Author:

Terryl Whitlatch is an accomplished, scientifically and academically trained illustrator who extensively studied vertebrate zoology and animal anatomy. She has worked for various zoos and museums in the United States and as senior consultant on Wildlife Art and Animal Anatomy for the World Wildlife Fund. She is considered to be one of the top creature designers and animal anatomists working in the field today. In a career spanning more than 25 years, Whitlatch has many projects to her credit, including Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: The Special Edition, Jumanji, Men in Black, Brother Bear, Dragonheart, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Curious George, The Polar Express, and Beowulf. For over seven years, she worked for Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, and George Lucas's JAK Films. Her illustration skills and comprehensive knowledge of animal anatomy and movement are essential in the development of believable creature creation.

Arthur L. Guptill's classic Rendering in Pen and Ink has long been regarded as the most comprehensive book ever published on the subject of ink drawing.

Людське тіло є складною темою для зображення через його складність і рухливість. «Щоб зробити це добре, потрібні глибокі знання анатомії та усвідомлення того, що лежить під усіма частинами тіла, адже найбільше фігуративне мистецтво справляє враження, що всередині тіла є живий скелет», — зазначає художник і ветеран мистецтвознавства Рей Бастос. Завдяки Rey’s Anatomy: Figurative Art Lessons from the Classroom Бустос надає важливу анатомічну інформацію, докладні дослідження та цінні посібники з малювання, щоб озброїти художників базовим уявленням про структуру скелета та м’язову систему людського тіла.

Викладаючи малювання фігур протягом 30 років, він надзвичайно доступно представляє складні концепції, посилаючись на роботи старих майстрів, щоб продемонструвати, як митець може взяти ті самі анатомічні знання та виразити їх різноманітними та особистими способами та, навчаючись і практикуючись, зобразити людську форму, не перешкоджаючи процесу чи інтелекту. Rey’s Anatomy спочатку досліджує анатомію, а потім щоденні вправи з малювання, які допомагають удосконалити фігуративну роботу, водночас показуючи надзвичайну роботу його учнів у всій книзі — поряд із його власною — що свідчить про те, як його уроки принесли користь поколінням художників.
