Osamu Sugiyama wurde 1946 in Tokio geboren. Er absolvierte die Yoshida Hanga Akademie, eine renommierte Schule fur japanischen Holzschnitt. Sein Lehrer war Toshi Yoshida, der alteste Sohn von Hiroshi Yoshida. Toshi Yoshida unterrichtete japanische und internationale Studenten in der Kunst des Holzschnitts, bis er Anfang der 1990er Jahre schwer erkrankte und 1995 verstarb. Osamu Sugiyama verbindet seine beiden groen Leidenschaften: das Bergsteigen und die Kunst des Farbholzschnitts. Seine Werke fangen seine Erlebnisse, Eindrucke und Erinnerungen von Expeditionen rund um die Welt ein. Die Faszination fur Berglandschaften, die in der japanischen Druckgrafik eine lange Tradition hat, fuhrt Osamu Sugiyama konsequent fort. Er widmet sich in seiner kunstlerischen Arbeit ausschlielich der Berglandschaft. Er bestieg Berge in Japan, Nepal, der Schweiz und Italien und lie sich von ihrem unverwechselbaren Charakter inspirieren. Sugiyama blieb ein aktives Mitglied der Yoshida Hanga Akademie. Die Akademie unterstutzt ihre Kunstler durch regelmaige Ausstellungen und fordert den Austausch unter Holzschnittkunstlern. Sein Debut gab er im Oktober 2005 auf der 50-Jahr-Jubilaumsausstellung der renommierten CWAJ Print Exhibition in Tokio. Die Ausstellung brachte ihm groe Anerkennung und festigte seinen Ruf als auergewohnlicher japanischer Grafiker. Die Faszination fur Berglandschaften hat in der japanischen Druckgrafik eine lange Tradition

This small book has been put together at the request of the ardent railfan in the family, who happened to see one of these interesting prints. It is intended for teaching such younger railfans not only in history, but also science and art and the commentary and criticism is kept at this level. This work does not presume to be in any way exhaustive of the railroad subject. Japan's railroads started with two miniature steam locomotives introduced from abroad. The first arrived in Nagasaki on a Russian ship in 1853, while the second came to Yokohama in 1854 aboard one of Commodore Perry's black ships. Ukiyo-e artists especially Hiroshige III began churning out colorful and sometimes fanciful renderings of the bizarre smoke-belching machines. The father showing a locomotive to his son is very charming. Later followed prints with locomotives overturned in the Great Kanto Earthquake and a Russian locomotive that had gone through the ice on Lake Baikal during he Russo-Japanese War. After this trains came to occupy Japanese prints and Japanese art much in the same way European artists have always adored them. The authors include a few examples of other art work, ending with Shinkansen.

This book is going to revolutionize the way we understand Vermeer Peter CareyThe paintings of Johannes Vermeer of Delft are some of the most beautiful even sublime in the history of art Yet like the life of Vermeer himself they are mysterious and have for centuries defied explanation Following new leads and drawing on a mass of historical evidence some of it freshly uncovered in the archives of Delft and Rotterdam Andrew Graham Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer revealing many of the painter s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution He also vividly evokes the world of the Dutch Republic as it was in its so called Golden Age This was a watery world of fortresses and flood plains taverns rocked by argument and cities stunned by devastating attacks and explosions all linked by a network of canals where a uniquely efficient public transport system operated by horse drawn passenger barge enabled people goods and ideas to glide effortlessly from one place to another The author sets Vermeer firmly in the context of his time revealing the patterns of patronage that make sense of his work and also exposing the difficulties posed by his home life whic

A beautifully illustrated collection of feline folktales from around the world

No es extraño que al escuchar la palabra anticuario frunzamos el ceño y nos llevemos la mano a la cartera. Nos vienen a la mente imágenes de establecimientos vetustos llenos de polvo, en los que los objetos se amontonan como las ruinas que ha dejado la Historia. Y el anticuario, testigo privilegiado de interiores de las casas, pero tambien de las miserias humanas, negociante astuto y custodio de fondos de procedencia desconocida, no deja de ser una figura oscura y un tanto enigmatica. En la imaginacion popular, su oficio se asocia antes al cambalache de objetos que al valor de los objetos en si. Se pasa por alto que, si los anticuarios no mediaran en su conservacion, muchos de ellos se perderian para siempre. Sospechoso de ser complice cuando no perpetrador de robos, estafas y expolios, reina un gran silencio respecto a su papel como descubridor y restaurador. Porque si bien es cierto que el anticuario se gana la vida con el comercio, no lo es menos que el verdadero anticuario, aquel que se ha forjado entrenando el ojo para saber si una pieza tiene valor, es tambien una suerte de connaisseur. En estos trece episodios en los que algunos lectores se reconoceran, Artur Ramon, anticuario por herencia y por formacion, aparta la cortina y nos invita a entrar en un mundo que comercia con lo superfluo pero que es tambien depositario de una idea de belleza que nos recuerda la tendencia de nuestra sociedad a confundir el arte con el lujo.
