Cultura popular y grabado en Japón. Siglos XVII a XIX no es únicamente uno de los escasos ensayos sobre el tema escritos en lengua española, sino que conforma, ante todo, una exhaustiva investigación donde se analiza la xilografia ukiyo-e como proceso cultural urbano, y donde, coherentemente, se rescata esta produccion estetico-simbolica del limitado rango de arte mediante el cual buena parte de Occidente aun sigue acostumbrado a valorarla. Considerada a partir de sus perspectivas de clase, de sus funciones eroticas, educativas y comunicativas, de sus implicaciones politicas, y de su complejo proceso de edicion, la xilografia ukiyo-e aparece aqui evaluada en consonancia con los mas actualizados referentes teoricos dentro de su campo de estudios, para los cuales esta investigacion tambien resulta un significativo aporte. Estamos, por una parte, ante una nueva lectura de la xilografia ukiyo-e reflexionada a partir de la complejidad y multiplicidad de su entorno cultural; por otra, ante un muy minucioso cuestionamiento de obsoletas posturas homogeneizantes y generalizadoras acerca de la cultura japonesa.

Deconstructing perspective with Picasso and peers Pioneered by Picasso and Braque, Cubism was the first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. Heavily influenced by the stark power of African and Native American art and sculpture, it deconstructed conventions of viewpoint and perspective, revolutionizing painting and western art in general. With its flattened, geometric shapes, overlapping, simplified forms and fragmented spatial planes, Cubism became one of the most influential and far-reaching movements in modern art. This book explains the history and theory behind Cubism, examining the work of its prime movers, and those whose work built upon it.
