Una retrospectiva única de Mick Rock, el fotógrafo oficial y socio creativo de David Bowie, recopilada en 2015 con el consentimiento del propio Bowie.En 1972, David Bowie publicó su revolucionario álbum The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Con él nació también el alter ego Stardust de Bowie: un ser de vestimenta reluciente, rímel en los ojos y sexualmente ambiguo que rompió las fronteras entre lo masculino y lo femenino, lo heterosexual y lo homosexual, la realidad y la ficción en un cambiante y brillante fenómeno de autoexpresión de los años setenta. Ziggy, el álbum, y Ziggy, el espectáculo, convirtieron al londinense de voz suave en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo.Uno de los pasajeros clave en ese viaje glam rumbo a la estratosfera fue Mick Rock, también de Londres. Rock estableció vínculos artísticos y personales muy estrechos con Bowie, pasó a formar parte del círculo íntimo del cantante y trabajó, en 1972 y 1973, como su fotógrafo oficial.Esta colección de fotografías reúne instantáneas espectaculares sobre el escenario y retratos íntimos en el backstage. El libro celebra la experimentación y reinvención audaz de Bowie. Una visión sin precedentes de las múltiples facetas del artista. Jugando con lo distante y lo accesible, lo divertido y lo serio, este apasionado tributo se regocija en la experimentación y la imprevisibilidad, y celebra la eterna inspiración de un artista audaz y excepcional que siempre será recordado.

Finally, it should be noted that the articles featured include illustrious figures in European politics, who have held positions of high responsibility, such as Enrique Barón, President of the European Parliament (1989-1992) and President of the International European Movement (1987-1989), José María Gil-Robles, President of the European Parliament (1997- 1999) and President of the International European Movement (1999-2005), and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (2019-present).

A primera vista, las acuarelas de animales a gran escala tan sumamente detalladas recuerdan a los grabados de los ilustradores del siglo XIX John James Audubon y Edward Lear. Una segunda mirada más de cerca, sin embargo, revela un complejo universo perturbadoramente antropomórfico, lleno de símbolos, bromas pícaras y alusiones a la cualidad ''operística'' de la historia natural tradicional.En este universo visual asombroso y siniestro a un tiempo, las bestias y los pájaros no son meros objetos estéticos sino más bien actores dinámicos en batallas alegóricas: un pavo aplastando a un pequeño loro con sus garras, una colección de monos causando estragos en una mesa formalmente dispuesta, o un búfalo rodeado por una manada de lobos blancos ensangrentados. Las imágenes, deslumbrantes acuarelas, impresionan tanto por su impecable realismo como por su complejo contenido.Disponible originalmente en edición limitada y firmada, este volumen actualizado de Pancha Tantra es el estudio más exhaustivo de la obra de Ford hasta la fecha, que incluye más de 20 nuevas obras del artista. Ofrece detalles deslumbrantes, una exploración en profundidad de su universo visual, una biografía completa y extractos de los textos que le sirvieron de inspiración: desde cuentos populares indios y las cartas de Benjamin Franklin a la Autobiografía de Benvenutto Cellini y la Ornithological Biography de John James Audubon.

Lisbon's charm is legendary, but its vibrant 2,000-year history is not widely known, from its Roman legacy to its centuries under Moorish rule. Its journey from port town to Portugal's capital was not always smooth sailing--in 1755 the city was devastated by the largest earthquake ever to strike modern Europe, followed by a catastrophic tsunami and a six-day inferno that turned sand to glass.Barry Hatton unearths these forgotten memories in a vivid account of Lisbon's colourful past and present, bringing to life the 1147 siege during the Iberian reconquista, the assassination of the king, the founding of a republic and the darkness of a modern dictatorship. He reveals the rich, international heritage of Portugal's metropolis--the gateway to the Atlantic and the unrivalled Queen of the Sea.

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes. Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

Abandoned as an infant and of unknown parentage, Tom Jones is raised in the household of the irreproachable, altruistic Squire Allworthy. Growing up to be a high-spirited, lusty youth, Tom finds himself vulnerable to temptation in the form of the local wenches, though his heart is ultimately claimed by the beautiful Sophia Western, the daughter of a neighbouring landowner. When Tom's erotic misadventures compel the squire to expel him from his home, and when Sophia flees from her domineering and boisterous father to avoid an undesired union with the odious Master Blifil, a colourful, picaresque journey through eighteenth-century England ensues, one punctuated by a parade of unforgettable Hogarthian grotesques and timeless comic set-pieces.Characterized by both razor-sharp wit and broad, bawdy humour, and described by Coleridge as boasting one of the “three most perfect plots ever planned”, Tom Jones was an instant hit on its publication in 1749, and is widely considered one of the greatest works of English literature and a foundation stone in the development of the English novel.

Edición a cargo de David García Cueto, comisario de la exposición y conservador de Pintura Italiana y Francesa hasta 1800 del Museo del Prado. Inglés. Rústica. 24 x 30 cm. 448 páginas.Publicado con motivo de la exposición Guido Reni, celebrada en el Museo Nacional del Prado entre el 28 de marzo y el 9 de julio de 2023.Guido Reni (1575-1642) fue uno de los artistas más destacados en la Europa de su tiempo, llegando su fama al nivel de la que alcanzaron Rubens, Caravaggio o Bernini. Desde su Bolonia natal, su obra se difundió no solo por buena parte de Italia, sino que también alcanzó algunas de las principales capitales del continente, como París, Londres o Madrid. En efecto, España no permaneció ajena al interés por las creaciones del maestro boloñés, coleccionadas tanto por la corona como por algunos de los más destacados miembros de la aristocracia y que, en varios casos, acabaron en los fondos del Museo Nacional del Prado. Además, a la vista de sus obras, ciertos artistas hispanos decidieron enriquecer su propio lenguaje con la evocación de las propuestas de Reni, entre ellos varios pintores de especial relevancia, como Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.Este catálogo pone de manifiesto la actualidad del legado de Guido Reni. Cuenta con nueve ensayos, a cargo de otros tantos autores internacionales, y se centra en su obra y su técnica, así como en el contexto en el que destacó en la Bolonia y Roma de su época y en particular en su relación con España durante el siglo de Oro. Además, analiza y reproduce casi cien obras de Reni y otros artistas entre pinturas, dibujos y esculturas.
