En nuestro siglo, las formas creativas y expresivas del dibujo se han multiplicado significativamente. La ilustración, el diseño, la gráfica descriptiva, el sketching, etc. parecen haber redescubierto el dibujo, no solo como modo de representacion, sino tambien como modo de accion, de acceso y relacion con nuevas realidades. Los nuevos contextos de la ilustracion grafica, que vienen a ampliar aquellos en los que esta cumplia funciones editoriales, ornamentales, testimoniales, educativas, etcetera, se han vuelto especialmente notorios dentro de las artes visuales; el diseño grafico, el diseño industrial, de espacios, moda y arquitectura han rehabilitado el dibujo concediendole valor de relato, y volviendo asi a proclamarse como arti del disegno; por su parte, dentro de los discursos del arte contemporaneo, el arte grafico ha encontrado un espacio mucho mas amplio, dejando atras su tradicional estatuto de inconclusion o incompletitud. Todos estos desarrollos suponen modos de imbricacion entre lo que podemos llamar dibujo-trayecto y dibujo-proyecto en tanto que ponen en relacion las ideas que solo toman forma en la linea y desde la linea, y las ideas que se formalizan mediante la linea, el punto o el plano. En toda esta expansion de las formas y medios del dibujo las creadoras juegan un papel determinante. Existe cierta sincronia, cierta conexion logica y efectiva entre esta emancipacion del dibujo y la socializacion de una nueva conciencia feminista, autentico humanismo de nuestro siglo. La autarquia del dibujo esta necesariamente motivada por una liberacion y transvaloracion del acto mismo de dibujar, del gesto, de la accion y del cuerpo, y no solo por modificaciones en las condiciones del medio (editorial, artistico, etcetera).

El escultor salmantino Juan de Montejo vivió cuarenta y seis años (1555-1601), casi los mismos que han transcurrido entre el momento en el que afloró la primera noticia sobre su persona y su actividad artistica y la publicacion de la presente monografia; de modo que los estudios que han tratado de acercarse a el son recientes, pese a que tanto don Manuel Gomez-Moreno como Georg Weise intuyeron la presencia de un maestro de estilo intermedio entre Juni y Fernandez, seguidor del clasicismo italiano, energico, nervioso y expresivo y con algunas puntas de barroco en obras anonimas que hoy podemos atribuirle.Procedia de un linaje de artistas dedicado fundamentalmente a la pintura, y el hecho de que se decantase hacia la escultura fue consecuencia directa de la dificil situacion que atravesaban los centros pictoricos castellanos a mediados del siglo XVI y de los cambios estilisticos impuestos despues de Trento.En esta obra se aborda su formacion, que para aquellos aprendices con inquietudes y con aptitudes para la escultura ?como es el caso? solia resolverse mirando hacia la villa del Pisuerga, tanto por la mayor concentracion de talleres como por la presencia del consagrado Juan de Juni y de los primeros romanistas becerrescos; auno, pues, tradicion y modernidad. Asimismo, se traza por primera vez el recorrido vital de este escultor, desde su juventud en la provincia de Salamanca a su contacto con localidades limitrofes zamoranas, y se reconstruye su vida personal y laboral, su matrimonio y primeros hijos o su traslado a Zamora, donde asento el primer obrador ya como maestro. Sus ultimos años transcurrieron en su ciudad natal, a la que retorno como autor consagrado y desde donde abordo valiosos encargos en los territorios de la antigua abadia de Medina del Campo ?parte ya de la nueva diocesis de Valladolid?, lo que le permitio el contacto con la escuela vallisoletana de escultura.Juan de Montejo fallecio en Alba de Tormes mientras trabajaba en el monumento funerario de santa Teresa de Jesus que le habia encargado el convento de las carmelitas, cenobio que lo habia visto nacer como aprendiz y que lo acogio durante diversos momentos de su vida; era el colofon a una existencia compleja y agitada en la que pudo trabajar para la clientela mas granada de la epoca, caracteristicas que lo descubren como uno de los personajes ineludibles del mercado escultorico de finales del siglo XVI en el occidente castellano.

What was Japan like in 1853, when this portrait was started by Utagawa Hiroshige with one print from each of the 69 provinces. It is an outstanding picture book from just before photography. Hiroshige travelled the Tokaido road to participate in an important procession in Kyoto in 1832 and published his 53 Stations of the Tokaido (Hoeido) which was the most popular print series ever made in Japan, see the authors ISBN ES 978-8-413-731-469. It was even more popular than Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously ISBN ES 978-8-411-744-935. The Famous Views from the Sixty-Odd Provinces contains some of Hiroshiges most beloved prints and he again uses the horizontal format he pioneered for landscape prints.

Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene and the soul of the person he was painting. Sorolla painted a large number of portraits, even though it is said he didnt like doing them. For doing something he detested he certainly did it magnificently. In this volume some of the portraits from his formative period 1863 -1888 as well as his consolidation period 1889 -1899 are presented. Sorolla lived while photography was being invented and popularized. Her was fortunate that the nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie still liked to have their portraits painted. He also painted many Spanish painters, writers and politicians and his portraits are a great introduction to Spanish society and politics of the day as well as Spanish history.

Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene he was painting. Joaquín Sorolla painted the most wonderful beach scenes, many of them with oxen towing fishing boats. One thing that will surprise you. In spite of Joaquin Sorolla being Spain's most famous painter of beach scenes and fishing boats, there does not appear to be a single seagull in his paintings. So, what animals did he paint? Did he paint birds? Apart from the oxen as draught animals, he painted several horses, pigs, a donkey and sheep when he painted types of people and local dress which made up his vision of Spain, diverse and colorful yet united. More privately, he painted dogs and a cat as pets, superbly catching their soul and character.

Cet ouvrage s'organise en trois grands chapitres qui couvrent les principaux domaines d'application du verre. Il ouvre sur les arts du verre, une histoire qui débute plus de quatre mille ans avant notre ere. Apres une synthese sur l'evolution technique et esthetique du materiau depuis ses origines jusqu'aux premices de l'industrialisation des procedes de fabrication, il traite, entre autres, de l'art du vitrail, du cristal, de la fabrication des miroirs, mais aussi de la place du verre dans l'art moderne et contemporain (Art nouveau, Art deco, StudioGlass...) en reponse, parfois, a l'omnipresence du verre d'origine industrielle qui nous entoure dorenavant au quotidien. Le volet central est consacre a l'usage du verre dans l'architecture. En regard de notre histoire, celle-ci ne s'est liberee que recemment des dimensions reduites que l'on obtenait jusqu'au XIXe siecle pour les verres plats. Ce chapitre aborde l'architecture de verre au travers d'un prisme historique et technique, mais aussi esthetique et philosophique : construire en verre releve en effet d'une quete de la transparence et de la translucidite, des notions tant physiques que conceptuelles renvoyant, pour ces dernieres, a des ideologies sensiblement differentes. Introduit par une synthese historique sur les revolutions industrielles que connut la fabrication du verre, le chapitre final est dedie aux sciences de l'ingenieur et a l'economie du materiau. Il aborde le role et la place du verre dans l'instrumentation scientifique, l'optique et d'autres domaines d'applications souvent moins connus du grand public. Il met enfin en perspective les impacts environnementaux lies a ce secteur industriel : les principales problematiques qui concernent sa production, mais aussi la gamme de solutions qu'il apporte afin de rendre nos modes de consommation et de construction plus durables. Riche d'une abondante illustration, cette somme mele des articles de fond, rediges par des historiens et des experts, a des entretiens avec des artistes et artisans verriers, des architectes et des designers. Cet ouvrage fait suite a la cinquieme Academie des savoir-faire organisee par la Fondation d'entreprise Hermes : "Le Verre".

Slip into a pew at a Catholic church almost anywhere in the world on a Sunday morning and you ll likely find something missing the Bible More than five hundred years after the Bible came off the first printing press why does the world s largest biblical religion often not have a printed Bible in the room And if not how is it that the life of Catholics is shaped by the Bible In How Catholics Encounter the Bible award winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics a book central to their tradition but not usually in the form of a book Biblical ideas and beliefs are more often mediated through diverse modes of storytelling artistic imagination and ritual Peppard begins from the conviction that the Bible for Catholics is not bound with leather book covers but with the liturgical binding of the sign of the cross the wrought metal framing of a stained glass window or the lyrical structures of a God haunted poet He thus de emphasizes the act of private individual reading and instead analyzes distinctively Catholic approaches to the Bible through ritual literature the arts and ethics Primary among these encounters are the Mass and events of the life cycle but Peppard also presents the Cat
