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.

Libro que explora la vida y la obra de Remedios Varo, importante pintora catalana exiliada en México hasta su muerte.

The brilliantly expressive clay models created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (15981680) as "sketches" for his works in marble offer extraordinary insights into his creative imagination. Although long admired, the terracotta models have never been the subject of detailed examination. This publication presents a wealth of new discoveries (including evidence of the artist's fingerprints imprinted on the clay), resolving lingering issues of attribution while giving readers a vivid sense of how the artist and his assistants fulfilled a steady stream of monumental commissions. Essays describe Bernini's education as a modeler; his approach to preparatory drawings; his use of assistants; and the response to his models by 17th-century collectors. Extensive research by conservators and art historians explores the different types of models created in Bernini's workshop. Richly illustrated, Bernini transforms our understanding of the sculptor and his distinctive and fascinating working methods.

During his short career, Koloman Moser became a towering figure in Viennese culture. His varied work in interior and graphic design, furniture, textiles, jewellery, metalwork, glass and earthenware helped usher in the modern era. This book surveys the entirety of Moser's oeuvre. It examines his work as a graphic designer and his involvement with the Vienna Secession, with special focus given to his role as an illustrator for the journal Ver Sacrum (Sacred Spring). Moser's forays into textile design and ceramic work are also introduced. The book features his designs for the Vienna Secession, Thonet Brothers and the Mautner family, among others that characterise his early modern style. The book also explores Moser's seminal role as a founding member of the Vienna Workshops, along with architect Josef Hoffman and patron Fritz Waerndorfer. Included are many reproductions of Moser's masterpieces, including the window of the Steinhof Chapel, his exhibition posters, postage stamps and currency and elegant samples from his design portfolio, "The Source."

One of the finest and most popular of British Victorian-era painters, John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) effectively combined classical mythology and European legend in his many works. His dramatic portraits of wistful, long-haired maidens have become icons of femininity, captivating viewers with their extraordinary sense of drama and meticulous detail. Twenty-four of his finest paintings appear here in card format, among them "The Lady of Shalott, The Soul of the Rose, "and "La Belle Dame Sans Merci."

Este volumen, cuyo propósito esencial es rendir homenaje a Vicente Rojo, reúne una amplia selección de su obra plástica y subraya su labor como maestro, como forma-dor de diseñadores y de artistas. Por supuesto, en el podemos admirar la evolucion del estilo de Rojo a lo largo del tiempo y a la vez sus constantes, por ejemplo el ca-racter geometrico de sus obras y su abstraccionismo. Su incursion en distintas tecni-cas (gouache, grabado, serigrafia, aguatinta, oleo, lapiz), sobre todo mixtas, es paten-te. La labor de Vicente Rojo no solo como artista plastico sino como diseñador grafico ha dejado huella en toda una epoca.

Es imposible pasar por alto la influencia de René Magritte (1898-1967) en el arte contemporáneo. Sus cuadros surrealistas transforman irónicamente el orden habitual de las cosas, devolviendo de este modo el misterio a un mundo que habia perdido su magia.Su obra transmite habitualmente una sensacion de lo increible, lo sorprendente y lo ridiculo, pero tambien de lo inquietante. Sin un mensaje especifico, los cuadros de Magritte nos hablan creando una conexion entre polos opuestos a un nivel asociativo. Asi, un panecillo pasa volando con completa naturalidad a traves de la entrada bloqueada de una cueva.Magritte hablaba de pensamientos inspirados para explicar su arte. Desde luego, era un pintor-filosofo que pensaba de un modo pictorico y que se movio con aparente delicadeza en la exaltada atmosfera de su propia imaginacion.
