This small book has been put together at the request of the ardent railfan in the family, who happened to see one of these interesting prints. It is intended for teaching such younger railfans not only in history, but also science and art and the commentary and criticism is kept at this level. This work does not presume to be in any way exhaustive of the railroad subject. Japan's railroads started with two miniature steam locomotives introduced from abroad. The first arrived in Nagasaki on a Russian ship in 1853, while the second came to Yokohama in 1854 aboard one of Commodore Perry's black ships. Ukiyo-e artists especially Hiroshige III began churning out colorful and sometimes fanciful renderings of the bizarre smoke-belching machines. The father showing a locomotive to his son is very charming. Later followed prints with locomotives overturned in the Great Kanto Earthquake and a Russian locomotive that had gone through the ice on Lake Baikal during he Russo-Japanese War. After this trains came to occupy Japanese prints and Japanese art much in the same way European artists have always adored them. The authors include a few examples of other art work, ending with Shinkansen.

This book is going to revolutionize the way we understand Vermeer Peter CareyThe paintings of Johannes Vermeer of Delft are some of the most beautiful even sublime in the history of art Yet like the life of Vermeer himself they are mysterious and have for centuries defied explanation Following new leads and drawing on a mass of historical evidence some of it freshly uncovered in the archives of Delft and Rotterdam Andrew Graham Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer revealing many of the painter s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution He also vividly evokes the world of the Dutch Republic as it was in its so called Golden Age This was a watery world of fortresses and flood plains taverns rocked by argument and cities stunned by devastating attacks and explosions all linked by a network of canals where a uniquely efficient public transport system operated by horse drawn passenger barge enabled people goods and ideas to glide effortlessly from one place to another The author sets Vermeer firmly in the context of his time revealing the patterns of patronage that make sense of his work and also exposing the difficulties posed by his home life whic

Segunda parte de Desde los bloques. Las mismas calles, otros rostros, nuevas batallas. Noches sin tregua, paredes y trenes llenos de color, y una vida en constante movimiento. La portada y contraportada de este libro estan impresas intencionalmente al reves.

FUTURAESCENA es un proyecto de foro de debate, organizado por la Academia de las Artes Escénicas de España, que emplaza a la profesión escénica y organizaciones que la regulan para analizar el papel de la cultura de nuestra sociedad en general, y en las artes escenicas en particular.

Desde un enfoque cruzado y transversal de la historia del arte, Del arte conceptual… al arte del objeto? revisa los conceptualismos artísticos observándolos no como un estilo o una tendencia, sino co

En un recorrido urgente, partiendo del comisariado como aquella función encargada de la colección, hemos pasado por la mitificación de la curaduría independiente y el consecuente boom autoral para desembocar en lo curatorial, basado en lo colaborativo y codependiente, en busca de generar espacios de encuentro y convivencia. A traves de un enfoque hibrido, este ensayo propone cuestionar las jerarquias y entender la mediacion como un campo expandido dentro de la practica artistica contemporanea. Lejos de ofrecer respuestas cerradas, el libro invita a detenerse en el comisariado no tanto como una funcion, sino como una actitud porosa ante el arte e, incluso, la vida en general. & x0201C;Fuera de quicio& x0201D; se adentra en la maravillosa locura de lo curatorial como un espacio de transformacion y dialogo, donde el quicio simboliza el umbral entre la obra de arte y su contexto.

On the planet Furaha Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system Evolution on Furaha found solutions to life s problems that remained unused on Earth There are in depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals where four sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air using radial flight With over 180 stunning illustrations this is a book that all fans of science fiction biology and science will enjoy and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well considered account of life on another planet along with stunning illustrations This is a must read book which I heartily recommend Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology
