La obra escultórica de este joven aunque excepcional artista entronca directamente con la larga tradición escultórica española, para a continuación renovarla con un estilo propio, sumamente personal y original. Asi la obra de Xavier Mascaro recurre con frecuencia a tematicas clasicas, con referencias a las tradiciones españolas - como las corridas de toros-, la iglesia o la mitologia, pero al mismo tiempo concede a dichas tematicas un tratamiento completamente nuevo, marcado por el hierro como material basico de sus esculturas, por la experimentacion en los volumenes y por sus vivencias personales.

WINNER of The Art Newspaper / AXA Exhibition Catalogue Award 2007 Francesco Xanto Avelli da Rovigo was an intriguing artist who painted some of the most beautiful and fascinating ceramics produced in Renaissance Italy. With surfaces entirely painted with scenes from classical literature, Roman history or the Bible, his dishes were much sought after by the educated elite of his time, and continue to fascinate ceramics enthusiasts today. The colors of his works appear as fresh now as when the pieces were first made, providing a sense of immediacy that brings the culture of Xantos Italy to life before our eyes. Accompanying an exhibition at the Wallace Collection - the first ever dedicated to the artist - this book puts the work of Xanto and his contemporaries in its historical, political and artistic context. Xantos cut and paste method of incorporating figures derived from prints is explored, his artistic development is traced and the spread of his influence assessed. Included is a full transcription of Xantos sonnet sequence, published, for the first time with an English translation. An appendix comprising a list of Xantos works is another first. Accompanied an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, London, opening 25 January. John Mallet is curator of the exhibition, formerly Keeper in the Department of Ceramics and Glass in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the world authority on Xanto.

This is a new edition of Keri Smith's bestseller, with updated material Think of Wreck. This Journal as the anarchist's Artist's Way - the book for those who've always wanted to draw outside the lines but were afraid to do it. For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book featuring a subversive collection of suggestions, asking readers to muster up their best mistake - and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts - poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, colouring outside the lines, and more - in order to experience the true creative process. With Keri Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process. Bestselling author Keri Smith is a freelance illustrator by trade, and has illustrated for the Washington Post, The New York Times, Ford Motor Company, People, The Body Shop and Hallmark. She is the author of Wreck This Journal, How To Be An Explorer of the World and Mess. A native of Canada, she lives in the US.

An artist's obsession with Gericault's monumental painting The Raft of the Medusa, and an intensely personal reckoning that delves deep inside the making of an artwork. Artist Tom de Freston has long had an obsession with Gericault's painting The Raft of the Medusa, and the troubling story behind its creation. The monumental canvas, which hangs in the Louvre, depicts a 19th century tragedy in which 150 people were drowned at sea on a raft lost in a stormy sea, when the ship Medusa was wrecked on shallow ground.When de Freston began making an artwork with Ali, a Syrian writer blinded by a bombing, The Raft's depiction of pain and suffering resonated powerfully with him, as did Gericault's awful life story. It spoke not only to Ali's story but to Tom's family history of trauma and anguish, offering him a passage out of the dark waters in which he found himself. In spellbinding, visceral prose, de Freston opens a window onto the magnetic frisson that runs between a past masterpiece and contemporary artistic endeavours.

Worn Not es la primera monografía dedicada a la práctica artística de Rubén Grilo, gallego afincado en Berlín. El libro examina críticamente la obra de Grilo a lo largo de más de una década, conectando los puntos de su meticuloso aunque heterogeneo corpus de trabajo. Partiendo de la indirecta y exhaustiva investigacion del artista sobre la tecnologia y su impacto en el arte, la publicacion incluye tres textos: Melanie Buhler traza un mapa de la diversa obra de Grilo en busca de una tipologia de artista que el propio Grilo se esfuerza en negar; Zoey Lubitz examina el uso que Grilo hace de la tela vaquera desentrañando sus implicaciones materiales en una realidad cada vez mas afectada por lo digital; Anna Mikkola conversa con el artista intercambiando impresiones sobre las multiples referencias que sustentan su practica. La publicacion esta acompañada de numerosas imagenes, proporcionando la documentacion mas extensa de su obra hasta la fecha.

This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the lives, ideas and art works of the remarkable group of women who were an essential part of the Surrealist movement. Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim and Dorothea Tanning, among many others, became an embodiment of their age as they struggled towards artistic maturity and their own 'liberation of the spirit' in the context of the Surrealist revolution. Their stories and their achievements are presented here against the background of the turbulent decades of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and the war that forced Surrealism into exile in New York and Mexico.With 145 illustrations in colour
