CINE PARA LEER ENERO JUNIO 2017

The strange piece of art that hangs over the bed. The well-organized sneaker collection. Artifacts—sinfully expensive or of sentimental value—from all over the world. The things you find in other people's homes spark the imagination, inspire one's own design efforts, and speak volumes about the character, dreams, and essence of the residents. Over the past years, Welt am Sonntag visited the homes of creative workers, artists, and style influencers all over the world and shared them with us via home stories: the daughter of design icon Verner Panton, the son of the legendary artist, Fornasetti, an attorney with a mania for collecting, a jewelry designer in London, an American hairstylist to the stars, and Berlin's most controversial architect. Instead of high-gloss photography productions where every object is carefully placed at the correct angle in order to showcase "perfect" taste, the images here are intimate encounters on familiar terrain that give us insight into unexplored worlds: private, curious, and eccentric. Style experts and co-authors, Adriano Sack and Dagmar von Taube, have compiled these visual short stories into a fascinating photo volume that is a wonderful source of ideas for your own home—the Mick Jagger portrait by Andy Warhol above the fireplace mantle, the vase you sculpted and fired yourself, and the terribly impractical gigantic sculpture in the dining room that just make life better. In other words, do try this at home

Antes de labrarse su carrera como cineasta, Clint Eastwood trabajó como actor a las órdenes de otros realizadores. Uno de ellos, el director norteamericano Don Siegel, fue su referente a la hora de construir su propio estilo fílmico junto con el italiano Sergio Leone. Famoso gracias a películas como La invasión de los ladrones de cuerpos, Crimen en las calles, The Lineup, Código del hampa o Brigada homicida, Siegel dirigió a Eastwood en varias ocasiones. Una de las más memorables fue Harry el sucio, vibrante thriller y uno de los títulos más significativos de la renovación que experimentó el cine policíaco estadounidense a principios de los años setenta. El retrato de un duro policía de San Francisco que, en su afán por capturar a un asesino en serie, acaba saltándose los límites de la legalidad, servía para trazar un ambiguo y polémico contraste que diluía las diferencias entre el inspector y el criminal. Harry el sucio es un clásico del género y estableció un patrón que pervive en la actualidad.

“Accoppiando alla fierezza del Caravaggio lo scelto del naturale, ed il bel colore della scuola Lombarda, Ribera compose la maniera che fu sua propria.”

EL MONASTERIO DE SANTA MARIA DE ALAON: ARQUITECTURA

Georges Méliès (1861-1938), uno de los pioneros del cine, tal vez el pionero de los pioneros. Gracias a su perseverancia, personalidad y condición de ilusionista imprimió a sus películas un estilo ca

Being in love with imperfection is being in love with the limits of accuracy, the print marks and the tracks marks from the paper feeding rollers that appear in riso images. The risography is a subculture and a printing method with a very peculiar and unique aesthetic with whom a lot of artist, designers, creative and bookmakers have fallen in love. Riso printing is quick, cheap and great!!! And there is so many people using and promoting this process which combines old and new technologies to produce print work.

One of the most popular and influential British artists of our times, David Hockney has never ceased to change his style and ways of working, always re-energizing his art with new solutions, fresh ideas and technical mastery. Now excitedly embracing his late period, Hockney remains as engaged as ever with the questions he has always posed for himself what to depict, how to depict it and how to persuade the spectator that he or she is an active participant rather than just a passive witness. Published to mark Hockneys 80th birthday and in the wake of the most extensive Tate retrospective ever accorded to a living artist, this new edition includes a new preface, afterword and final chapter covering work of the past two decades. Tracing a line from the beginnings of Hockneys career in the early 1960s, the portraits and images of Los Angeles swimming pools, his drawings and photocollages, to his highly acclaimed stage designs for the opera, video works, his iPad drawings and other novel forms of picturemaking, Marco Livingstone shows the continuing preoccupation with invention and artifice that has made this artists work at once popular and enduring.

Cuando el fotógrafo alemán Peter Lindbergh retrató a cinco jóvenes modelos en el centro de Nueva York en 1989, creó no sólo la emblemática portada de enero de 1990 para la versión británica de Vogue, sino que firmo el certificado de nacimiento de las supermodelos. La imagen no se limito a reunir por primera vez cinco rostros venerados, sino que marco el inicio de una nueva era en la moda y una nueva manera de comprender la belleza femenina.Coincidiendo con una importante retrospectiva en el Kunsthal de Roterdam (Paises Bajos), este libro recopila mas de 400 fotografias tomadas por Lindbergh a lo largo de cuatro decadas para rendir homenaje a su capacidad unica y revolucionaria de narrar historias. Sus inconfundibles imagenes monocromaticas, sobrias y seductoras al mismo tiempo, incorporaban un toque romantico y descriptivo que aporto una nueva vision y talento artistico al mundo de la moda y el arte.Considerado un pionero de la fotografia, introdujo un nuevo realismo al redefinir los estandares de belleza con imagenes intemporales. Ya sean retratos o poeticas composiciones de figuras y paisajes, sus creaciones utilizan un lenguaje cinematografico y juegan con arquetipos femeninos en los que sus modelos adoptan poses de bailarinas, actrices, heroinas o mujeres fatales. Ademas, Lindbergh confiere a la fotografia un enfoque humanistico, priorizando la belleza natural y autentica, en un momento en el que predominan los retoques, captando el espiritu y la personalidad tanto como el aspecto fisico y rindiendo homenaje a la elegancia y la sensualidad de las mujeres maduras.Como prueba de la gran reputacion de Lindbergh en el mundo de la moda, sus imagenes van acompañadas de comentarios de colaboradores de la talla de Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicole Kidman, Grace Coddington, Cindy Crawford y Anna Wintour, quien eligio a Lindbergh para que realizara a fotografia de su primera portada del Vogue estadounidense. Los elogios explican por que las imagenes de Lindbergh son unicas y tan poderosas.

GEOGRAFÍA FÍSICA Y HUMANA. PHYSICAL AND HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

This book addresses core questions about the role of materials in general and of wood in particular in the construction of string instruments used in the modern symphony orchestra - violins, violas, cellos and basses. Further attention is given to materials for classical guitars, harps, harpsichords and pianos. While some of the approaches discussed are traditional, most of them depend upon new scientific approaches to the study of the structure of materials, such as for example wood cell structure, which is visible only using modern high resolution microscopic techniques. Many examples of modern and classical instruments are examined, together with the relevance of classical techniques for the treatment of wood. Composite materials, especially designed for soundboards could be a good substitute for some traditional wood species. The body and soundboard of the instrument are of major importance for their acoustical properties, but the study also examines traditional and new wood species used for items such as bows, the instrument neck, string pegs, etc. Wood species' properties for musical instruments and growth origins of woods used by great makers such as Antonio Stradivari are examined and compared with more recently grown woods available to current makers. The role of varnish in the appearance and acoustics of the final instrument is also discussed, since it has often been proposed as a `secret ingredient' used by great makers. Aspects related to strings are commented.As well as discussing these subjects, with many illustrations from classical and contemporary instruments, the book gives attention to conservation and restoration of old instruments and the physical results of these techniques. There is also discussion of the current value of old instruments both for modern performances and as works of art having great monetary value.The book will be of interest and value to researchers, advanced students, music historians, and contemporary string instrument makers. Musicians in general, particularly those playing string instruments, will also find its revelations fascinating. It will also attract the attention of those using wood for a variety of other purposes, for its use in musical instruments uncovers many of its fundamental features.Professor Neville H.

Don Quijote y la romantización de la soledad, cuenta en este catálogo, confeccionado para la exposición homónima de la Universidad de Cantabria, con un estudio introductorio del profesor de nuestra universidad Alfredo Moro Martin, especialista en la obra de Cervantes y en su desarrollo en las ediciones anglosajonas y germanas durante el siglo XIX. El riguroso estudio analiza como el personaje de Alonso de Quijano llego a ser asimilado por el Romanticismo como un modelo mas de su iconografia, en este caso, como un ejemplo de la idealizacion de la soledad, a partir de las interpretaciones de diversos ideologos, como August Wihlelm Schlegel o Friedrich von Schelling a los diversos episodios narrados e ilustrados en las sesenta y una estampas presentadas en la exposicion, realizadas por Gustave Dore y grabadas en la tecnica xilografica por Heliodore Pisan. El exito de las ilustraciones diseñadas en 1863 para la primera edicion en frances genero que rapidamente surgieran ediciones en otras lenguas tales como el ingles, el aleman o el castellano, todas ellas, verdaderas joyas de bibliofilia. La seleccion presentada en este catalogo atesora ilustraciones, a pagina completa, de la edicion en ingles de 1865 y de las ilustraciones marginales de la primera edicion en castellano de 1875.Se complementa con un programa didac...
