Monografie met een introductie op het werk van Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) en een overzicht van de carriere van deze laatste grote kunstenaar van de Japanse oekiyo-e houtsnede. Deze drukkunst was bekend vanaf de zeventiende eeuw, maar in de jaren dertig van de negentiende eeuw werd - mede door Hiroshige - het landschap het thema. Dit resulteerde in prentseries over stadsgezichten, reisimpressies en afbeeldingen van de jaargetijden. Er is momenteel veel aandacht voor Japanse prentkunst, mede door de invloed die deze op Van Gogh had. Eerder is over delen van Hiroshige's werk al in het Engels gepubliceerd: de serie van Hiroshige's journey in the 60-odd provinces door Marije Jansen (2004)* en de heruitgave van de catalogus van Japanse prentkunst uit 1991 (Van Gogh Museum), waarin de invloed van Hiroshige op Van Gogh aan bod komt. In 2008 verscheen bij Taschen een uitgave over de prentserie '100 beroemde voorstellingen van Edo'. De hier besproken uitgave is in het Nederlands en geeft uitleg over de techniek van de houtdruk en leven en werk van Hiroshige. Prachtige introductie met veel kleurenillustraties. - Wim Visscher

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning "pictures of the floating world", ukiyo-e refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in the 17th century and is practically synonymous with the Western world`s visual characterization of Japan. Though Hiroshige captured a variety of subjects, his greatest talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and his most famous work was a series known as "100 Famous Views of Edo" (1856-1858). This book provides an introduction to his work and an overview of his career.

Alexandre Cirici i Apel·les Fenosa es van conèixer l'any 1957 a Barcelona, amb motiu de l'exposició de l'escultor a la Galeria Jardin de Barcelona, trobada que va esdevenir després profunda i llarga amistat.

Diego y Frida cuenta la tormentosa y apasionante historia de una pareja fuera de lo común. Ella, una mujer frágil, pero tenaz y rebelde, pintora iconoclasta; él, el genio de los muralistas mexicanos, un hombre que le dobla la edad, un terrorifico coloso con reputacion de devorador de mujeres, comunista y ateo, que osa pintar frescos en los que incita a tomar los machetes y los fusiles para derrocar la trinidad demoniaca de Mexico: la burguesia, el clero, la clase politica...

Starker than Velázquez and more ascetic than El Greco, Francisco Zurbarán (1598-1664) is easily among the finest of seventeenth-century Spanish painters. Apprenticed in Seville, he quickly gravitated toward the use of chiaroscuro, possibly having seen paintings by Caravaggio there: he was later to become known as the Spanish Caravaggio. But Zurbarans temperament, as it is realized in his painting, appears more melancholy, and therefore less foreboding, than Caravaggios, and his religious subjects are almost exclusively Christian. He developed a characteristic image repertoire around monasticism and martyrs and made a speciality of the Carthusians, whose white robes he took evident pleasure in depicting. His best-known work may be his 1631 Apotheosis of Saint Thomas Aquinas, now housed in the Seville Museum. It was around this time that Zurbarans star reached its peak, as he was appointed court painter to Philip IV. Later, toward the end of his life, Zurbarans harsh chiaroscuro style fell from favor, but his reputation was restored in the twentieth century, in part through the concerns of Cubism and its attraction to precedents for an emphatic plasticity. In this monograph, illustrated with 114 color plates, Santiago Alcolea, a scholar of seventeenth-century Spanish art and the author of previous books on Velazquez and El Greco, provides us with an overview of Zurbarans artistic career, dividing it into four stylistic phases and reproposing his relevance for our times.
