Різні книги про мистецтво

Craft one of the most original artists of our time into 3D!

Intricate patterns, elegant geometries, and mind-boggling graphics are trademarks of the magical visual world of Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972).  

Mysterious and mathematical at once, his work has captivated scientists, scholars, and popular culture, inspiring book covers, album art, films, posters, and puzzles.

Колекція дивовижних одноразових малюнків лише чорним маркером від «короля дудлів» Кацуї Теради.

Це остаточна колекція творів мистецтва Кацуї Теради чорним маркером, які демонструвалися на його виставках як усередині країни, так і за кордоном, і, звичайно, включала ілюстрації з його живих малюнків.

Містить понад 150 ілюстрацій, кожна робота відображається на 16% від оригіналу, щоб показати весь твір мистецтва, а також оригінальний розмір (реальний розмір), який показує частину твору мистецтва, але розкриває деталі та чутливість роботи Теради.

Різноманітність і масштаби цих робіт вражають. Одна ілюстрація була настільки величезною, що її довелося помістити на розворотну сторінку, щоб зрозуміти, що може бути зображено на малюнку.

Усі роботи були намальовані чорним фломастером і одним знімком без жодних чернеток, неймовірний факт, який доводить винятковий талант Теради.

Детальна інформація для кожної ілюстрації (назва роботи, розмір, назва виставки тощо) вказана на звороті. Ілюстрація обкладинки була нещодавно намальована для цієї книги.

У цій книзі використовується палітурка під назвою «Кодекс палітурки», у якій книга зшита разом, що дозволяє відкривати розвороти сторінок плоскими, що дозволяє побачити роботу Кацуї Теради в повній формі.

Про автора:

Кацуя Терада, він же Ракуґакінгу («Король ескізів») — японський ілюстратор, добре відомий у США за своїми роботами, пов’язаними з «Залізною людиною» та «Хеллбоєм». Він любить робити замальовки скрізь, де б він не був, і брав участь у багатьох живих заходах з малюванням, де він заглибився в малювання на стінах. Дивно те, що він робить це, не роблячи чернеток. Кожен його малюнок виконано одним кадром. На його стиль малювання сильно вплинули Мебіус і Кацухіро Отомо. Терада — універсальний геній, який працював у багатьох сферах, починаючи від манги й аніме й закінчуючи живими бойовиками та дизайном персонажів. Його відомі роботи з дизайну персонажів — «Кров: Останній вампір» і «Віртуальний боєць».

This heartfelt tribute to Americas best-known, best-loved illustrator, first published shortly after his death in 1978 is an inspiring examination of Norman Rockwell's vision of America, one that is especially appreciated today.

Rockwell's famous Saturday Evening Post covers, the four Freedoms he painted during the years of World War II, his depictions of American towns, families, and traditions are all represented in this enchanting volume. They offer a picture of America that we hold dear, representing a world of hope and humanity.

Fred Bauer writes about Rockwell's message of optimism and the artist's faith in America and its people in a forthright and sympathetic text complemented by numerous Rockwell favourites in all their warmth and colour. Bauer visits Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Arlington, Vermont, talking to the people who lived with Rockwell and posed for his anecdotal pictures, the people about whom the artist said, "If you are interested in the characters you draw and understand them and love them, why, the people who see your pictures are bound to feel the same way." This lovely book enables us to partake once again of that unique love and understanding that Norman Rockwell still communicates to America.

The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the world with enormous effects on politics and society. Can we manage this global challenge?

The coronavirus pandemic has caused unprecedented stress tests for the healthcare system and an enormous challenge for politics and society, resulting in unforeseeable effects on the economy.

Cartoonists from all over the world have had their own take on the crisis. Their drawings and paintings in this illustrated book comment on topical events - straight to the point and with a good dose of humor. The lockdown created funny behaviors: hoarding of toilet paper and DIY haircuts as well as video conferencing in sweatpants.

Unfortunately, social isolation, fear of the future, and economic losses due to short-time working are also part of our new everyday life. The crisis shows which professions are essential to the economic system. Social imbalances and inequalities are becoming abundantly clear. At the same time, issues that demanded urgent action before the outbreak of the virus seems to be forgotten, like the refugee crisis, global warming, and the world economic crisis.

Paper. Pen. Pandemic. critically comments on the current situation and makes us rethink our priorities!

In the 1950s the space race between the USA and the USSR was well and truly on, and was for both a matter of pride and propaganda. But before man ventured into the cosmos, his four-legged friends would pave the way for space exploration.

The first canine cosmonaut was Laika, meaning ‘barker’. The little stray could never have anticipated that she would one day float 200 miles above the Moscow streets. She would be canonized as a proletarian hero, appearing on stamps, postcards and souvenirs. Her successors were Belka and Strelka, the first dogs to successfully return safely to Earth, and with them, the cult of the space dog was born.

This fascinating book tells the story of the space dogs, illustrated with legendary photographer Martin Parr’s vintage space-dog memorabilia. In a regime that eschewed celebrating individual achievement, these dogs became Soviet superstars, with a vast array of merchandise, books and films in their honour.
