Fantasy Art, diese farbenfrohe Mischung aus Mythos, Muskeln und sexy Jungfrauen, geht zurück bis ins Jahr 1923, dem Jahr der Veröffentlichung des Weird Tales-Magazins. Das Genre wurde in den 1960er Jahren wiederbelebt, als Der Herr der Ringe eine Neuauflage erlebte, Conan der Barbar in Taschenbüchern mit Titelbildern von Frank Frazetta zahlreiche Abenteuer bestritt und Roger Dean Plattencover mit psychedelischen Fantasy-Szenen versah. Der endgültige Durchbruch jedoch gelang in den 1970er-Jahren mit dem Rollenspiel Dungeons & Dragons, der genialen französischen Zeitschrift Métal Hurlant und dem ersten Film der langen Star Wars-Reihe, Krieg der Sterne. Die Zahl der aktiven Künstler erreichte in diesem Jahrzehnt ihren Zenit. Durch das Aufkommen von Tausch- und Sammelkarten in den 1990er-Jahren entdeckte dann eine neue Generation von Fans das Genre für sich. Frank Frazettas Ölgemälde erzielten zuletzt Preise von mehr als 5 Millionen US-Dollar, wenn sie überhaupt auf den Markt kamen, und Fans stehen Schlange auf den Comic-Cons, um Boris Vallejo, Rodney Matthews, Greg Hildebrandt, Michael Whelan und Philippe Druillet zu treffen und verstorbener Ikonen wie HR Giger, Jeffrey Catherine Jones und Frazetta zu gedenken ¿ die natürlich alle in diesem Band vertreten sind.Dieses Buch zeigt die Originalgemälde, jeweils ergänzt durch Entwurfsskizzen, Skulpturen, Kalender, Zeitschriften und Taschenbücher, und bietet tiefe Einblicke in dieses dynamische, fantasievolle Genre. Informative Biografien zeichnen ein genaueres und aussagekräftigeres Bild der Künstler als jeder Wikipedia-Eintrag. Schon jetzt gilt History of Fantasy Art als der informativste Führer zu diesem so populären wie faszinierenden Thema.Über die ReiheTASCHEN ist 40!

If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. This book brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms.

Die überraschenden Ursprünge der Männergarderobe - zeitlos und rebellisch. Wie wurde die Jeans, wie das weiße T-Shirt zum Klassiker? Welcher Filmstar hat die Lederjacke weltweit zur Ikone gemacht ? Und wurden Chinos wirklich für das Militär erdacht ? Manch klassisches Kleidungsstück hat eine durchaus bewegte Geschichte und nicht selten beginnt sie als Arbeitskleidung, auf See, beim Miltär oder in der Luftfahrt. The Rebel's Wardrobe erzählt, wie sich Skater eine ursprünglich für Eisenbahnarbeiter entworfene Jacke angeeignet haben, oder wieso ein Tennishemd zur Uniform der britischen Mods wurde. Kenntnisreich und unterhaltsam blickt dieses Buch zurück auf die rebellische Jugend heutiger Kleidungsstücke und erzählt in Geschichten und Bildern, was sie zu zeitlosen Klassikern machte.

The Intuitive Geometry method is the 8 principles for drawing and designing with overlapping circles. The dot matrix notebook is 184 pages, contains 38 full page color drawings, and 11 line art templates for drawing. Overlapping circles have been studied since ancient times. We know that two overlapping circles create the almond shape called the vesica pisces from which we can make basic geometric shapes like the square, triangle, hexagon, and pentagon. The Intuitive Geometry method includes spirals, waves, and scaling. Once you master the method's 8 principles you can apply them intuitively and draw anything. Intuitive Geometry is not just about drawing, it is about developing our intuition and learning the fundamental structure of life. Practicing the use of overlapping circles affects our consciousness on all levels, and our ability to become more powerful creators in this world.

Illuminating reflections on painting and drawing from one of the most revered artists of the twentieth century'Thank God for yellow ochre, cadmium red medium, and permanent green light'How does a painter see the world? Philip Guston, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, spoke about art with unparalleled candour and commitment. Touching on work from across his career as well as that of his fellow artists and Renaissance heroes, this selection of his writings, talks and interviews draws together some of his most incisive reflections on iconography and abstraction, metaphysics and mysticism, and, above all, the nature of painting and drawing.'Among the most important, powerful and influential American painters of the last 100 years ... he's an art world hero' Jerry Saltz, New York Magazine'Guston's paintings make us think hard' Aindrea Emelife, Guardian
Here is an absorbing biography of the English artist Dora Carrington, who called herself simply "Carrington". She was a woman who made a vivid impression on those she met-she was portrayed (or caricatured), for example, in novels by Wyndham Lewis, D. H. Lawrence, and Aldous Huxley. Hopelessly in love with the noted writer Lytton Strachey, she achieved notoriety by killing herself shortly after his death. A talented painter, living a bohemian life, Carrington was torn by conflicts as an artist and a woman, including the shrewd and inquisitive Bloomsbury group. Carrington's paintings, however, reveal much of her remarkable and original cast of mind, and since her death her reputation as an artist has grown steadily. Her work is new represented in major collections worldwide.
