Castro Nuñiz, José AntonioEste libro pretende reflejar los conceptos y pasos que ha ido dando el grabado tradicional desde el compendio de sistemas y técnicas de socavar físicamente e imprimir con presion, hasta convertirse en lo que llamamos hoy matrices intangibles. Es decir, incidir y dibujar con luz. Pretende ser una modesta y divulgativa aportacion a un fenomeno curioso e interesante del cambio paradigmatico que ha ocurrido y esta sucediendo con este arte cuyas matrices fisicas han dado lugar a las algoritmicas, reflejadas en una pantalla electronica y las tintas grasas en sofisticadas emulsiones inyectadas o termofundidas. Pero no nos gustaria dar la impresion, de que nuestro interes es solo la parte tecnica, la sofisticacion mecanica y los pormenores de la ya famosa cocina de grabado. Una de nuestras propuestas seria mas bien relativa a lo innecesario del recetario de la forma en la que ha sido realizada, sugerimos cordialmente la adopcion de imagen multiple por matriz electronica IMME. Pensamos que la huella grafica-electronica, posee un entramado intelectual relacionado con ideas que han dado un nuevo enfoque al sentido de multiple u original. Aporta reflexiones sobre los fenomenos del entorno social en el que estamos inmersos y contribuye al entendimiento del contexto en el que se mueve la socializacion del Arte subvertido en una mayor interactividad. Se hace un breve resumen razonado al devenir del Arte de la Grafica desde sus procesos mas escultoricos hasta llegar a las matrices intangibles. La sustitucion del graphos manual por el electronicoluminoso del laser y fotopolimeros y el papel del pensamiento de las obras multiples actuales. La documentacion sin cuerpo, sin la fisica del soporte material es un cambio de paradigma curioso &l

How does the artist''s self-conception change in old age? How does old age affect artistic practice? In this intriguing study, art historian Philip Sohm considers some of the greatest artists of Renaissance and Baroque Italy and their experiences of aging. Sohm investigates how art critics, collectors, biographers, and fellow artists dealt with old painters, what mental landscapes preconditioned responses to art by the elderly, and how biology and psychology were co-opted to explain the imprint that artists left on their art. He also looks carefully at the impact of prejudices, stereotypes, and other imaginary truths about old age. For some artists, the problems of old age were related to physical decline--Poussin''s hands became shaky, Titian''s eyesight dimmed. For others, psychological symptoms emerged. The book''s cast of characters includes Michelangelo, the hypochondriac young fogy; Titian, the shrewd marketer of old age; the multiphobic Pontormo; and others. With sensitivity and insight, Sohm uncovers what it meant to be an old artist and how successive generations have looked at the art of an old master.

Dutch paintings of the seventeenth century - the Golden Age of Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer - have been eagerly collected in America over the past two centuries. From its founding purchase in 1871 of many Dutch landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and scenes of everyday life, the Metropolitan Museum now houses the finest and most comprehensive collection of Dutch pictures in the western hemisphere.This monumental publication, wherein the Museum''s 229 Dutch paintings dating from 1600 to 1800 are catalogued for the first time, celebrates an extraordinary collection. Included are a full discussion of each picture and complete records of its scholarly literature, exhibition history, and provenance. Every work is reproduced in colour and comparative illustrations enrich the presentation. A biography of each artist and a comprehensive bibliography reflect the latest research.The exhibition schedule is: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 11 September 2007 - 6 January 2008.

Published in conjunction with the traveling exhibition (2004-2005).

Text in English and Spanish.

La promoción y difusión del trabajo de nuestros creadores plásticos que tiene entre sus objetivos el programa expositivo de la Junta de Castilla y León Constelación Arte, se hacen imprescindibles en casos como el de Isidro Tascon, artista que presenta una obra en constante evolucion y con cambios tan acentuados en los medios que utiliza.
