Anna Atkins. Cyanotypes
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

En los albores de la era victoriana, en su laboratorio al aire libre en Halstead, Kent, Anna Atkins se embarcó en un experimento radical para documentar especies botánicas utilizando un medio artístico completamente nuevo. Los inimitables cianotipos de algas y helechos que creó se convirtieron en los primeros libros que presentaban imágenes fotográficas. Impactantes aunque etéreos, estos álbumes son una síntesis perfecta de arte y ciencia.Aunque la técnica de la cianotipia fue descubierta por su amigo John Herschel, Atkins fue la primera en darse cuenta tanto de su utilidad práctica para sus propios intereses en botánica y taxonomía como de su intrigante potencial artístico. El proceso, que implicaba fijar el objeto sobre papel sensible y exponerlo directamente a la luz solar, da como resultado el pigmento azul de Prusia que constituye el inconfundible telón de fondo de estas obras de arte.Los álbumes de Atkins British Algae (1843-1853) y Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns (1853), el último de los cuales fue producido con su amiga Anne Dixon, son obras de notable rareza. Reimpresos aquí en su totalidad por primera vez, revelan su dominio de múltiples disciplinas: Si bien el proceso de cianotipia permitió a Atkins enfrentarse al desafío de una representación precisa, los contornos delicados de los especímenes, colocados sobre el fondo azul intenso, le han dado a las imágenes un atractivo estético atemporal.Esta edición, basada en gran medida en las copias de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York y del J. Paul Getty Museum, ha compilado cuidadosamente cianotipos de varias fuentes para reimprimir las innovadoras obras de Atkins en su totalidad. Más de 550 impresiones de cianotipos acompañadas de una serie de ensayos introductorios de Peter Walther que sitúan el trabajo de Atkins en sus contextos científico e histórico-artístico y rinden un merecido homenaje a las contribuciones de una pionera.

Hiroshige & Eisen. The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido. 40th Ed.
Hoy -5% en Libros

Marks, Andreas

La creación de la ruta del Kisokaido fue una orden del entonces sogún de Japón, Tokugawa Ieyasu, que a principios del siglo XVII decretó la construcción de estaciones de descanso en el penoso tramo que iba desde Edo (actual Tokio) hasta Kyoto. Se abrieron posadas, tiendas y restaurantes que proporcionaban alimento y alojamiento a los agotados viajeros. En 1835, el famoso xilógrafo Keisai Eisen recibió el encargo de realizar una serie de estampas que representaran la ruta del Kisokaido. Después de hacerse cargo de 24 de estas estampas, Eisen fue sustituido por Utagawa Hiroshige, que completó la serie de 70 imágenes en 1838.Tanto Eisen como Hiroshige eran reconocidos maestros del grabado. Las sesenta y nueve estaciones del Kisokaido pone de manifiesto los distintos estilos de ambos y su habilidad común. Desde el ajetreado punto de partida de Nihonbashi hasta el castillo de Iwamurata, Eisen opta por una paleta más apagada, pero sobresale en la figuración, sobre todo en la representación de mujeres glamurosas, y se recrea en las imágenes de toda la actividad que se realiza a lo largo del camino, desde el herrado de un caballo hasta campesinos aventando arroz. Hiroshige demuestra su dominio del grabado paisajista con escenas grandiosas y evocadoras, desde las tranquilas orillas del río Ota hasta el imponente paso de Wada o una ascensión a la luz de la luna entre Yawata y Mochizuki.Tomadas en conjunto, las estampas de Las sesenta y nueve estaciones del Kisokaido suponen no sólo un animado ejemplo del arte de la xilografía, con composiciones audaces y un uso experimental del color, sino también un encantador tapiz del Japón del siglo XIX, mucho antes de que apareciera el fantasma de la industrialización. Esta nueva edición de TASCHEN presenta la serie con la excelencia que merece. Las imágenes reproducidas provienen de la única primera edición de la serie completa que se conoce, lo que asegura la mejor calidad para esta legendaria obra.
