The automobile has always been as much about style as engineering, not simply a means of transportation but a status symbol meant to impress others and project the success of its owner. Car Design is a comprehensive collection of photographs from European, Japanese, and American automobile advertising campaigns of the last fifty years. Lavishly illustrated with over 400 color and black and white photos of distinctively designed automobiles, this compendium can be viewed as a decade-by-decade chronicle of consumer culture since World War II or as an amusing look at car culture for enthusiasts.

Esta colección, presentada en diez volumenes lujosamente ilustrados, reúne los grandes hitos del mundo del automóvil: coches espectaculares, modelos de auténtico lujo, prototipos que despertaron pasiones, maquinas fantasticas, berlinas legendarias...., en suma, los coches mas fabulosos de todas las marcos y de todos los tiempos. Una obra inigualable, de facil y agradable consulta, que no debe faltar en la biblioteca de ningun aficionado al fascinante mundo del motor.

Esta obra va dirigida al estudiante de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales. No se ha pretendido realizar un estudio en profundidad ni una revisión exhaustiva de técnicas analíticas instrumentales empleadas en el analisis de pigmentos de procedencia artistica sino ofrecer una herramienta util en la que se concreten y clarifiquen conceptos basicos sobre el analisis instrumental. Ademas, se ha intentado proporcionar al futuro licenciado en Bellas Artes el lenguaje propio de los metodos cientificos de analisis y de la ciencia de la conservacion, tan necesario para poder llevar a cabo con exito la diagnosis previa a cualquier intervencion y para llegar a desenvolverse adecuadamente como interlocutor de cientificos y tecnicos en el trabajo interdisciplinar que conlleva cualquier intervencion en el patrimonio, implementando los datos procedentes de los distintos campos artistico-cientificos. A traves de ocho unidades didacticas se aproxima al estudiante a las tecnicas analiticas.

Its a new era of global character appeal. While playfully evading the limitations of commercial interests, cultural contexts and narrative intentions, contemporary character design has become the key player of visual communication worldwide. Since the beginning the Pictoplasma project has closely accompanied the character movement with publications, exhibitions, festivals and conferences. With the long awaited follow-up publication, The Character Encyclopaedia, Pictoplasma delivers an in-depth exploration of the latest tendencies in current character design and art, spanning from drawing, design and painting to its use in installations and sculpture. Pictoplasma not only creates the worlds first Encyclopaedia of figurative design - by cataloguing the characters as independent life-forms of their own right, the compilation enables to examine similarities and permutations of globally recurring motifs and styles. By sorting, clustering, cross-referencing and inter-linking the creations of a disparate scene of artists, the encyclopaedia creates a unique cartography of the latest generations populating the character universe.

Este libro enseña todos los sutiles y precisos movimientos de la mano y de la pluma y presenta todos los materiales, herramientas y técnicas que permiten dar vida a una variada gama de estilos caligraficos. Todo ello se pone en practica a traves de ocho bellos y creativos proyectos, explicados paso a paso, desde las tarjetas con los nombres y las minutas para un convite hasta papel para regalo, cubiertas para un album o un joyero. Una galeria de obras de artistas profesionales sirve de base para que el lector se inspire y se lance a crear sus propias obras.

Obra cumbre de la pintura gótica francesa. 1039 miniaturas a todo color más oro.

Castelao é un dos referentes de Galicia, tanto no eido político como no literario, mais tamén na plástica, onde se converteu no elo necesario para conquistar o papel relevante que a xeración dos Novos tivo entre a arte europea, e foi dos poucos que soubo ver o papel do realismo na arte e que pelexou a contracorrente contra o costumismo.Mais isto e preciso explicalo entrelazando a obra co seu pensamento.

Now in its 11th year, and just getting bigger and better, this eagerly anticipated volume in the art and art-buying world represents the who's who in fantasy today. Spectrum is the first and only illustration annual to focus solely on fantastic art, with over 300 artists featured. Divided into seven categories, including one devoted to comics and graphic novels, Spectrum is a feast of disparate vision and artistic imagining, showcasing, among others: John Howe, fantasy illustrator and designer for Lord of the Rings; Peter deSeve, conceptual artist on Finding Nemo; Anita Kunz's work from Rolling Stone; the exquisite acrylics of Michael Whelan; the poignant work of John Jude Palancer; Doug Chiang, design director for Star Wars and creator of Robota; and Jon Foster, also of Star Wars fame. Lively, idiosyncratic, and sometimes shocking, this work continues to push against the meniscus of reality, exploring new realms of inventiveness and creativity, be it from movies, video games, ads, or art galleries.
