Catálogo de la exposición celebrada en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, 5 abril-15 agosto de 2016, organizada con el Centro Pompidou. Iniciador de una pintura mestiza que unía modernismo occidental y simbolos africanos y caribeños, Wifredo Lam (Sagua La Grande, 1902-Paris, 1982) se codeo con todas las vanguardias del momento, afrontando tambien los problemas del mundo. La exposicion vuelve sobre la genesis de su trabajo pero tambien sobre las diversas etapas y condiciones de la recepcion e integracion progresivas de una obra pacientemente construida entre España, Paris-Marsella y Cuba. Traza la singular trayectoria del artista a traves de doscientas cincuenta obras pinturas, dibujos, grabados, ceramicas completada con mas de trescientos documentos cartas, fotografias, revistas, libros. Este vasto material ilumina el contexto de su trabajo y de su pensamiento, deteniendose en sus años en España (1923-1938), en los sorprendentes grabados de los años sesenta y setenta y en sus colaboraciones con los mas destacados escritores de su tiempo, asi como en las obras capitales creadas a la vuelta a su Cuba natal (1940-1950), y, en definitiva, muestra una vida comprometida dentro de un siglo agitado.

Whistler An introduction to the work of James McNeill Whistler.Frances Spalding One of a series of introductory books on the great masters and movements in art This volume on Whistler contains an extensive essay, 48 full-page colour plates, and is accompanied by extensive notes and comparative illustrations Provides incomparable value Highly regarded for its insight and authority James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was one of the most original artists of the late nineteenth century. Flamboyant dandy and ebullient publicist, friend of Oscar Wilde, Whistler was also a meticulous craftsman dedicated to the perfection of his art. Whistler was born in America but trained in Paris. He began as a realist painter but gradually developed a startlingly original method of composition, refining his technique to the barest essentials. He was one of the first to argue that the abstract ingredients of a painting - the lines, shapes, colours and tones - could in themselves be the subject; he entitled the portrait of his mother Arrangement in Grey and Black. This book provides a wide survey of carefully selected works, illustrated with 48 full-page colour plates and accompanying notes, making it an ideal introduction to Whistler's art.

Rob AlexanderRob Alexander is one of the most versatile and highly respected artists working today. He paints in watercolours that look more like oils or acylics. His painting style is subtle, beautiful and emotionally evocative. It has enabled him to work well in a number of diverse genres and markets.

Rob has worked in the publishing industry doing bookcovers for TOR, Harper Collins, Berkley and Del Rey. His images have been published in Amazing Stories, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Cricket magazines. But to most people, he is the artist who paints pictures of sad-eyed women, eerie beings who perch in trees and carve mysterious messages in skulls, hauntingly beautiful landscapes, and young children who either discover, imagine or make beautiful, wondrous things. He was one of the original artists of the Magic the Gathering trading card game phenomenon and has done well over 130 images for the project to date. Magic is international and has been translated into eight languages, including Japanese.His work has appeared in eight other trading card games, including over 40 images for one based upon The Lord of the Rings, depicting many of the major characters and significant places from Tolkien's world.

Más allá de la ligereza y frivolidad que la crítica ha tendido a ver en los cuadros de Antoine Watteau, Walter Pater descubre en ellos su profunda melancolía, su trágica y delicadísima seriedad; como si en aquel mundo de ensueño galante que Watteau creaba hubiera ya a principios del siglo XVIII un presentimiento del tragico final que habia de tener la gozosa y elegante sociedad en que el se inspiraba.

Best known for his fetes galantes such as the famous Pelerinage a l''ile de Cythere, Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) was a major proponent in the revival of the Baroque style and the formation of the Rococo movement. Watteau was inspired by the theater and in particular the commedia dellarte, hence elaborately costumed actors, dancers, and musicians were recurrent subjects; he was also fond of bucolic scenes and portraiture. Infused with romance, drama, and joie de vivre, Watteaus paintings depict a idyllic world of pleasure and entertainment.
