Giambologna A survey of the greatest sculptor of the age of Mannerism.Charles Avery, with photographs by David Finn A survey and critical analysis of Giambologna (1529-1608), the greatest sculptor of the age of Mannerism Covers the full range of his work, from bronze statuettes to equestrian monuments, while emphasizing his influence on the development of European sculpture Richly illustrated with photographs by renowned sculpture photographer David Finn Giambologna (1529-1608) was the foremost sculptor of the age of Mannerism, his work recognizable by means of his seductive and strongly distinctive style, who worked in the half-century following the death of Michelangelo in 1564. Charles Avery's major critical study covers the whole range of Giambologna's work in a fluent yet scholarly narrative and emphasizes his wide and long-lasting influence on the development of European sculpture. A profound artist, as revealed by his combined energy and subtlety, Giambologna's work as a whole displays a fascinating evolution throughout his own career and, in turn, signifies a turning-point for sculpture across Europe in the following centuries. The eloquent, extensive and erudite text is supported by outstanding photographic images of the sculptor's work captured by David Finn, whose own sense of aesthetic harmony and rhythm show the sculptures in their most revealing light. Setting out an exhaustive scope, the volume concludes with an invaluable checklist of all Giambologna's known works.

Manuel Abelenda pertenece a la generación novecentista o de 1916, que en el movimiento renovador de la plástica de los años veinte opta por la tradición frente a la modernidad preconizada por la vanguardia, contribuyendo a formar un arte genuinamente gallego siguiendo una de las corrientes plasticas del momento: la del regionalismo artistico. A pesar de ser un gran dibujante y de haber hecho retratos, bodegones y temas costumbristas, se le encasillo como paisajista, genero en el que alcanzo gran maestria en la representacion del ambiente brumoso de Galicia. Partidario y propagandista de la pintura decorativa, dejo algunos ejemplos de la influencia que ejercio sobre su modo de hacer el Art-Deco, especialmente, en sus incursiones en el campo de la ilustracion. El estudio y catalogacion de su obra no solo da una vision mas completa y precisa de su produccion ybiografia, sino tambien del rico ambiente cultural coruñes de los años veinte.
