Paula Rego (born in Lisbon, Portugal, 1935) is one of the most important figurative painters working today and this new volume is the first ever to explore her working practice. When Paula took on her own studio in 1994, the increased space and freedom had a dramatic impact not only on her final works but also on her preparations, models, method and technique. Not only was the artist free to begin using a regular cast of live models, but also she began to create the handmade models of wild and imaginary creatures that frequently appear in her work. The pieces are sometimes made by Paula but more often by her friends and family, including her son-in-law, the sculptor Ron Mueck. In addition to unseen views of the stage sets and models that Paula builds, this new book contains many previously unpublished images of the artist at work, her models and her preparatory drawings and studies, which provide a fascinating behind-the-scenes view of some of her finest works.Since 1994 Rego has also achieved ever more increasing international respect, reputation and influence. This new book will demonstrate her methods and techniques, but will also maintain an accessible and anecdotal text, as befits the artist's dependence on stories. The book is not so much a technical manual, but an investigation of how Rego arrives at a finished work. It will serve as a complement to the existing monograph, offering readers the chance to deepen their knowledge of Rego's art through the plots she devises and the collaborations she enters into with her favorite models, the props she collects and the elaborate scenes that she erects. In so doing it will also show her affinity with younger artists who have in recent years achieved international success by adopting a figurative and story-based approach in a variety of art forms - installation, video, photography, sculpture and painting.Rego's work is owned by many international institutions including, among many others, Tate Modern, London; National Portrait Gallery, London; Leeds City Art Gallery; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City; New Hall Art Collection, University of Cambridge; Saatchi Gallery, London.Paula Rego was short listed for the Turner Prize in 1989.

Pintor, escultor y estampador. Aunque trabaja como agente de Bolsa, a principios de la década de 1870 empieza a pintar en sus ratos libres. Fascinado por los lugares exóticos y llenos de color, en 1891 abandona Francia, estableciendose en Tahiti donde encuentra inspiracion visual en las artes de los pueblos antiguos y primitivos. Reacciona contra el naturalismo de los impresionistas y contra las preocupaciones cientificas de los neoimpresionistas. En Tahiti su pintura se hace mas profunda, los colores mas resonantes y el dibujo de una simplificada grandiosidad, reintroduciendo las formas ritmicas de trazos acentuados, inspiradas en las estampas de colores japonesas. En 1897 pinta la alegoria de la vida ¿De donde venimos, que somos, adonde vamos?, su cuadro mas famoso. Ejerce enorme influencia en los nabis, se convierte en figura destacada del simbolismo y fuente del fauvismo, dejando una profunda huella en el arte no naturalista del siglo XX.

Polidoro Caldana fu detto Polidoro da Caravaggio, poiché nato a Caravaggio (Bergamo) intorno al 1499/1500 circa, prima che quel luogo diventasse famoso grazie a Michelangelo Merisi. Non è conosciuto dai più, tuttavia, suo maestro fu Raffaello e la sua prima opera più impegnativa fu la collaborazione alle Logge Vaticane. Sono da attribuire a lui gli scomparti con "Giuseppe venduto dai fratelli" e il "Passaggio del Giordano". Si distinse, in seguito, come pittore di facciate di palazzi, di affreschi, con temi tratti dalla mitologia o dalla storia romana: Palazzo Ricci, Palazzo Milesi e al Casino del Buffalo. Queste opere sono quasi del tutto perdute, di loro restano comunque molte copie in incisioni e il lavoro di preparazione. Accanto a Parmigianino e Rosso Fiorentino, diventa attore di quel manierismo che si sviluppò sotto il pontificato di Clemente VII, rivelandosi un disegnatore profondamente irregolare, tenebroso, istintivo. Nell'ottobre del 1529 si trasferì a Messina, dove rimase sino alla morte. Nel 1535 lavorò per le feste in onore di Carlo V, allestendo apparati effimeri ed archi trionfali di cartapesta, in parte riportati nei suoi disegni.

Sin duda, el burdel infunde no sólo deseos turbulentos sino un pánico casi innombrable. Los ojos, prestos para la caza de las prostitutas, aterrorizan al neófito, aunque con propiedad nadie puede alardear de sentirse en ese ambito como en casa. Acaso el artista malagueño pensaba que el era el unico (pintor) capaz de aguantar el temblor de la tierra de las putas, contemplando, con los ojos muy abiertos, esos cuerpos que mas que el placer parecen prometer la muerte.

La colección Cuadernos eróticos de Océano descubre la sensualidad de los dibujos más íntimos y a menudo más polémicos de Egon Schiele.Otras obras de la coleccion:. Klimt. Kokoschka. Picasso. Rodin

In June 2006, the Neue Galerie in New York purchased Gustav Klimt''s 1907 Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I for $135 million. This deposed Picasso''s Boy With a Pipe (sold May 2004 for $104 million) as the highest reported price ever paid for a piece of art sold at a public auction. However, Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was a controversial figure in his time. Far from being acknowledged as the representative artist of his age, he was the target of violent criticism - his work sometimes being displayed behind a screen to avoid corrupting the sensibilities of the young. Today, Klimt''s works are recognized as masterpieces and stand out as some of the most significant paintings ever to come out of Vienna. The Byzantine luxuriance of form, the vivid juxtaposition of colours and the rich symbolism, sensuality and eroticism of his work have made Klimt one of the most popular artists in the world. Arranged thematically, the 130 giant-size reproductions of Klimt''s most important work are accompanied by Rachel Barnes'' expert and insightful commentary on all aspects of the artist''s life, influences and paintings - from the inspiration and provenance of each painting, to the technique used to create it and a list of exhibitions. Featuring some of the most iconic, important (and valuable) artworks of the late 19th/early 20th centuries, such as the Judith I , Portrait of Adele-Bloch-Bauer I and II and The Kiss , this is a book that Klimt enthusiasts and art lovers will cherish.

En vista de la maraña de enigmas, Dalí ha emergido para conquistar el mundo de la pintura, y de esta lucha nos ha traido algo más valioso que el oro: ha abierto nuevos horizontes ante nosotros, pero sobre todo nos ha brindado algo mas tangible, Salvador Dali.

Catálogo producido con motivo de la exposición Sin Actividad, presentada en el Museu Municipal de Portimao, en el marco de PhotoEspaña 2008 y el programa ALLGARVE.

Gustav Klimt`s art is thoroughly fin de siecle. It expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna`s upper-middle-class society a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure. The ecstatic joy which Klimt (18621918) and his contemporaries found or hoped to find in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death, and death therefore plays an important role in Klimt`s art. Klimt`s fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times. Particularly his drawings, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the erotic portrayal of women. Klimt saw the world "in female form." Author Gottfried Fliedl also discusses the Secession movement and Klimt`s role within this important group of artists.

Este libro reúne veinte años de su heterogénea producción y pone de manifiesto que, detrás de la tajante resistencia a la construcción de un estilo, Ballesteros sostiene una idea de arte construido a partir de tres materiales el juego, el ocio creativo y la participacion de multiples actores en una misma obra Mezclando estos componentes en diferentes grados, como si fuese un cientifico, su produccion se nos ofrece a veces abierta, ruidosa, festiva; otras, silenciosa y meditativa; pero siempre como el resultado de un incierto experimento. Un texto de Valeria Gonzalez recorre el desarrollo de la produccion de Ballesteros, desde Vito Ver, el comic existencialista que publicaba en los años 80, hasta sus ultimas fotografias, presentadas por primera vez en este libro. Eva Grinstein entrevista al artista insistiendo en su actuacion como bisagra entre las esteticas "autistas" de los 90 y las actuales, en las que los artistas permiten (y hasta buscan) la autoria colectiva. Por ultimo, se incluye un breve ensayo de Reinaldo Laddaga que rodea el misterio de la ultima obra presentada por Ballesteros en la galeria Ruth Benzacar una montaña oscura, negra, enorme, realizada con 40.000 kilometros de hilo, la medida de la circunferencia del planeta Tierra tomada a la altura del Ecuador.
