Written by a well-known artist and best-selling art-instruction author with almost rock-star popularity in the contemporary world of representational art, Beginning Drawing Atelier, with its unique workbook/sketchbook approach, and high-quality paper, offers a comprehensive and contemporary twist on traditional Atelier art instruction practices.Atelier education is centered on the belief that working in a studio, not sitting in the lecture hall, is the best place to learn about art. Every artist needs to learn basic drawing skills.In this elegant and inspiring workbook, master contemporary artist and best selling author Juliette Aristides breaks down the drawing process into small, manageable lessons, presents them progressively, introduces time-tested principles and techniques in the Atelier tradition that are easily accessible, and shares the language and context necessary to understand the artistic process and create superior, well-crafted drawings.What makes this approach unique is the fact that it includes blank pages for copying and practicing within each lesson, facilitating traditional Atelier methods. Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time--and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance.These studios, in a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop.Beginning Drawing Atelier is like having an atelier in a book - and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today's most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, the approach in this new book offers serious art courses for serious art students.

From the international bestselling author of The Silk Roads comes a major history of how a changing climate has dramatically shaped the development-and demise-of civilisations across time.When we think about history, we rarely pay much attention to the most destructive floods, the worst winters, the most devastating droughts or the ways that ecosystems have changed over time.In The Earth Transformed, Peter Frankopan, one of the world's leading historians, shows that the natural environment is a crucial, if not the defining, factor in global history - and not just of humankind. Volcanic eruptions, solar activities, atmospheric, oceanic and other shifts, as well as anthropogenic behaviour, are fundamental parts of the past and the present. In this magnificent and groundbreaking book, we learn about the origins of our species: about the development of religion and language and their relationships with the environment, about how the desire to centralise agricultural surplus formed the origins of the bureaucratic state, about how growing demands for harvests resulted in the increased shipment of enslaved peoples, about how efforts to understand and manipulate the weather have a long and deep history. All provide lessons of profound importance as we face a precarious future of rapid global warming.Taking us from the Big Bang to the present day and beyond, The Earth Transformed forces us to reckon with humankind's continuing efforts to make sense of the natural world.

A wide-ranging and thought-provoking exploration of the importance of long-term thinking.Humans are unique in our ability to understand time, able to comprehend the past and future like no other species. Yet modern-day technology and capitalism have supercharged our short-termist tendencies and trapped us in the present, at the mercy of reactive politics, quarterly business targets and 24-hour news cycles.It wasn't always so. In medieval times, craftsmen worked on cathedrals that would be unfinished in their lifetime. Indigenous leaders fostered intergenerational reciprocity. And in the early twentieth century, writers dreamed of worlds thousands of years hence. Now, as we face long-term challenges on an unprecedented scale, how do we recapture that far-sighted vision?Richard Fisher takes us from the boardrooms of Japan - home to some of the world's oldest businesses - to an Australian laboratory where an experiment started a century ago is still going strong. He examines the psychological biases that discourage the long view, and talks to the growing number of people from the worlds of philosophy, technology, science and the arts who are exploring smart ways to overcome them. How can we learn to widen our perception of time and honour our obligations to the lives of those not yet born?

The first comprehensive monograph on one of today’s most innovative and successful painters – made in close collaboration with the artistDefined by bold brushstrokes, a dynamic use of color and imaginative compositions, the paintings of Dana Schutz are panoramic expanses that offer visions of humanity in all its complex facets. Her deeply subjective approach, untethered from realism, translates into images that seem to exist in a place that transcends time while celebrating the intrinsic qualities of her medium of choice with freedom and intelligence. As the artist herself stated, ‘I’m interested in painting as an affective place where the hierarchies of the world can be rearranged within the space of a painting.’ This first comprehensive monograph on her work was created in close collaboration with the artist and features a number of never-before-seen paintings and drawings.

Esta obra nos introduce en el interesante mundo de la cerámica italiana de la época clásica, en la que los motivos representados con más frecuencia eran Dioniso y su reino. La aproximación de la autora a esta cuestión es fundamentalmente iconográfica, pero no se limita a esta perspectiva, ya que analiza e interpreta la cerámica dionisiaca desde su profundo conocimiento de la filosofía y de la religión antigua. De este modo, Paloma Cabrera da cuenta de las dimensiones filosóficas, literarias y religiosas de las ideas que sugiere la imaginería de las numerosas vasijas analizadas y expuestas en el libro. Pero la obra no solo se mueve en el plano ideal, sino que también alcanza a los intereses prácticos de los antiguos usuarios de estos útiles: revela sus visiones sobre la vida y la muerte, sobre la tristeza y la felicidad, sobre el sentido, en último término, de su mundo cotidiano. La obra se encuentra profusamente veteada por imágenes de vasijas antiguas que serán del gusto de arqueólogos e historiadores.

New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting de Robert Zeller ofrece una amplia exposición tanto del Surrealismo histórico como de su legado en el mundo del arte.Demuestra las muchas maneras en que el movimiento artístico más significativo del siglo pasado sigue siendo relevante hoy en día, presentando una selección internacional de artistas contemporáneos cuyas composiciones y práctica de estudio revelan su influencia.Son muchas las modalidades del Surrealismo histórico que aún mantienen su vigencia contemporánea: la presentación de lo familiar como desconocido e inquietante, la yuxtaposición de imágenes aparentemente inconexas, el uso del absurdo para criticar cuestiones políticas o sociales, y la utilización de imágenes eróticas en un contexto irracional y no lineal. No todos los artistas reunidos en este libro se identifican a sí mismos como surrealistas, pero cada uno utiliza alguna variante del surrealismo de manera personal.El libro comienza con un estudio de los orígenes, el liderazgo, los artistas participantes y los principales hitos del surrealismo histórico. Zeller hace una crónica del movimiento a partir del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el nacimiento de Dadá. Los protagonistas y acontecimientos más importantes aparecen a lo largo de la cronología de los hechos -incluida la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y artistas tan notables como Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington y muchos otros- hasta la muerte de su líder André Breton en 1966.A continuación, Zeller analiza cómo se ponen en práctica los elementos del Nuevo Surrealismo en el mundo del arte contemporáneo. La segunda sección ofrece un estudio de 29 artistas contemporáneos que participan en las variaciones aparentemente ilimitadas de los temas originales del Nuevo Surrealismo, como Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown y Arghavan Khosravi. La tercera sección presenta a 14 artistas, entre ellos importantes artistas contemporáneos como Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey y Anna Weyant, que hablan de la influencia del Surrealismo en su práctica de estudio, detallando con sus propias palabras cómo crean una composición de principio a fin.

A comedy writer thinks she’s sworn off love, until a dreamily handsome pop star flips the script on all her assumptions. Romantic Comedy is a hilarious, observant and deeply tender novel from New York Times–bestselling author Curtis Sittenfeld.Sally Milz is a sketch writer for ''The Night Owls,'' the late-night live comedy show that airs each Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life.But when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actor who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show—and in society at large—who’ve gotten romantically involved with incredibly beautiful and accomplished women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch called the ''Danny Horst Rule,'' poking fun at this phenomenon while underscoring how unlikely it is that the reverse would ever happen for a woman.Enter Noah Brewster, a pop music sensation with a reputation for dating models, who signed on as both host and musical guest for this week’s show. Dazzled by his charms, Sally hits it off with Noah instantly, and as they collaborate on one sketch after another, she begins to wonder whether there might actually be sparks flying. But this isn’t a romantic comedy, it’s real life. And in real life, someone like him would never date someone like her...right?With her keen observations and trademark ability to bring complex women to life on the page, Sittenfeld explores the neurosis-inducing and heart-fluttering wonder of love, while slyly dissecting the social rituals of romance and gender relations in the modern age.
