La expresividad y la sensibilidad unicas de Alfred Brendel al piano parecen trasladarse a las paginas del presente libro, en que el gran interprete ofrece una vision critica de la practica pianistica, especialmente de algunas composiciones de Beethoven y Schubert, asi como un iluminador repaso de sus grabaciones. Siguiendo el hilo invisible que une musica, palabras e imagenes, Brendel, lector voraz y de una curiosidad inagotable, pone ademas la mirada en el cine, y nos ofrece lucidas observaciones sobre el septimo arte que revelan su comprension del mundo y su conocimiento de si mismo.

Aún cuando la corbata constituya un minúsculo accesorio de la indumentaria, no deja de tener suma importancia todo cuanto con ella se relaciona, ya sea en el sentido de sus diversas formas, ya sea en el sentido de su manufactura.Para ciertos autores, el origen de la corbata es muy antiguo, aun cuando su nacimiento se halle perdido en la oscuridad de los tiempos, por considerar, tales autores, como una de las primeras formas de la misma el focale romano, mientras otros afirman que dicho origen se halla en las golas malladas medievales, o mas tarde en las gorgueras renacentistas.Todo hilo de la historia nos llevaria al uso de las pelucas popularizado por Luis XIV, donde todas aquellas molestas ligaduras cedieron su paso a las cintas de vibrantes colores, y asi se podria seguir desarrollando el uso de diversas prendas al cuello hasta nuestros dias.Esta obra analiza todos esos posibles origenes, los desmiente o ilustra, y desarrolla cuanto sea posible sobre esta pieza clave de la indumentaria.

Stephan Vanfleteren's photographic quest for the many faces of the sea'The sea never makes a fuss. You dont have to explain yourself or be polite. What does she care what you think of her or what you make of her. When you come or where you enter her. I capture, interpret, sublimate, abstract. I show everything, I show nothing.' Stephan VanfleterenIn Transcripts of a Sea, the internationally renowned photographer Stephan Vanfleteren (b. 1969) shares the enchantment that has driven him to the sea over the past five years. He analyses the sea, in all her various shapes and ever-changing light, with an obsession bordering on the dangerous, and with a fluid longing.Stormy, mirror-like, misty, thunderous, the surface deceptively calm or like a wildly-thumping washing-machine drum: the photographer does not observe it from the beach or from a boat but opts for a wet confrontation by literally immersing himself in the sea.136 extraordinary images with texts by Stephan Vanfleteren, Johan De Smet and Manfred Sellink.Published to accompany the eponymous exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent (MSK) from 20 September 2025 to 4 January 2026.

This monumental biography contains dozens of photographs and is an essential reference work for anyone who loves photography.

Este libro es un diálogo, una conversación directa entre Serzo y Palencia, máximo representante de la Escuela de Vallecas, desde sus obras, sus paisajes y sus obsesiones. Es también, como Serzo reconoce, una cuenta pendiente, un regreso consciente al legado de su paisano manchego, que ha ejercido una influencia silenciosa y persistente en su evolucion artistica.Es esta una propuesta generadora, que no solo recoge el legado de Vallecas, sino que lo proyecta hacia una posible III Escuela: plural, contemporanea y comprometida, que fortalezca la identidad local para alcanzar lo universal.Lejos de cualquier costumbrismo o nostalgia paisajistica, Serzo propone una resignificacion de la raiz como via hacia lo universal, abriendo nuevas preguntas sobre el lugar del arte, la periferia y la identidad en estos tiempos de hiperconexion y disolucion cultural.

Jordan Casteel (n. 1989 en Denver) es una artista neoyorquina conocida por sus retratos y paisajes figurativos a gran escala, realizados con pinceladas gestuales y vibrantes franjas de color. Desde el metro de Nueva York y las calles de Harlem hasta los bosques del norte del estado de Nueva York, Casteel ha establecido una practica colaborativa donde las personas con las que se ha topado a lo largo de su vida cotidiana se representan en su elemento, generando una experiencia a la vez intima y colectiva. La primera monografia de Casteel incluye cerca de 150 imagenes bellamente reproducidas, con secciones especialmente concebidas y diseñadas por la propia artista. "[Casteel] captura encuentros cotidianos con personas y lugares en obras que invitan al reconocimiento de nuestra humanidad compartida". O Fundacion MacArthur
