La biografía más completa de uno de los músicos argentinos más geniales y populares, a cargo de uno de los periodistas que mejor lo conoció y más lo estudió. Este es el libro que alimentó a todos los demas. Y al mito tambien. Desde 1993, Sergio Marchi se convirtio en la sombra de Charly Garcia y de la experiencia surgio No digas nada, una biografia "diversa, divertida y divergente", como Charly le encomendo. Fue una gran aventura donde el autor cumplio funciones inesperadas: fue confidente, plomo, baterista, brevisimo manager, psicologo amateur y enfermero. Lo vio todo. Lo vivio todo. Lo conto casi todo. El libro se actualizo en 2007, un año antes del colapso de Garcia en Mendoza y sus tremendas internaciones. Marchi fue nuevamente convocado a su entorno, al que renuncio antes de transcurrir un año. Esta reedicion llega a 2024 y el autor se aleja de Charly, lo que le permite ajustar la mira y disipar la bruma agregando nueve capitulos nuevos a los siete de la primera actualizacion, donde revela, muchas veces entrelineas, buena parte de los misterios de este periodo de la vida de Charly Garcia, genio indiscutido del rock latinoamericano.

Obra que persevera en la memoria de aquellos que conocieron y trabajaron con Rogelio París y lo acompañaron en su labor profesional. Se trata de una compilación de datos, ideas, noticias, reseñas, articulos, entrevistas, filmografia, notas y anexos con documentos historicos. Un libro que es a la vez una monografia y una enciclopedia, y, mas que una remembranza, resulta una obra para el estudio, a traves de la figura de Rogelio Paris, del hacer del cine cubano.

Medical Art introduces the methods, principles and techniques that form the foundations for the successful medical artist. It focuses on artworks created by hand and places a strong emphasis on observational and drawing skills. As well as artistic techniques, it explains the skeletal and related structures relevant to the artist, covering many structural anatomical elements and their visual representation. It will be an invaluable handbook for anyone interested in the skills and information that underpin the astonishing images of medical art. Medical art stands at the interface between art and medicine, a vital service for healthcare professionals regardless of their medical role and fills a very important niche. A medical artist may be asked to illustrate: a surgical technique in a book on surgery, an anatomy textbook, a poster for an exhibition/conference to illustrate research results, patient information leaflets, articles for publication in a medical journal, 3D modelling of some part of the body such as hand or foot, a joint with its associated bone or an internal organ, to design a website perhaps with a video which might include 3D images. This book clearly outlines the techniques needed to become a medical artist with detailed guidelines and exercises to introduce a potential medical artist to the skills required. These include basic drawing techniques using pen and ink and a range of pencils. There are also details of how to use and mix watercolour and how to match this with skin and specimen colours. This book is essential reading for any artist who wishes to specialise in medical art. DR MICHAEL OBRIEN MD, FRCP, FRGS, Hon. FMAA, Chairman and Examiner of the MAET

A vital re-examination of the trailblazing and controversial artist Paul Gauguin - and the first full biography in over thirty years - written by the award-winning author of I Am Dynamite!: A Life of Nietzsche. *Gorgeously illustrated with 70 full-colour images*Thoughtful and knowledgeable, witty and bold . . . A scintillating account of a richly complicated life. LUCY HUGHES-HALLETT Paul Gauguin is chiefly known as the giant of post-Impressionist painting whose bold colours and compositions rocked the Western art world. It is less well known that he was a stockbroker in Paris and that after the 1882 financial crash he struggled to sustain his artistry, and worked as a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen, a canal digger in Panama City, and a journalist exposing the injustices of French colonial rule in Tahiti. In Wild Thing, the award-winning biographer Sue Prideaux re-examines the adventurous and complicated life of the artist. She illuminates the people, places and ideas that shaped his vision: his privileged upbringing in Peru and rebellious youth in France; the galvanising energy of the Paris art scene; meeting Mette, the woman who he would marry; formative encounters with Vincent van Gogh and August Strindberg; and the ceaseless draw of French Polynesia. Prideaux conjures Gauguins visual exuberance, his creative epiphanies, his fierce words and his flaws with acuity and sensitivity. Drawing from a wealth of new material and access to the artists family, this myth-busting work invites us to see Gauguin anew.
