This fully-illustrated examination of Van Gogh's preoccupation with painting flowers draws upon the artist's own letters to describe his subject matter and to show the extraordinary importance that flowers and plants had on his life and his work.

Pintor, escultor, arquitecto, científico, inventor y filósofo, Leonardo, el genio universal del Renacimiento, parece que utilizó a cómicos y a músicos para conseguir en su lienzo la sonrisa mundialmente famosa de Lisa Gherardini. Thomas David escribe, con un entusiasmo contagioso, sobre la bella Gioconda, sobre cabalas y escandalos en las cortes de los Sforza y de los Borgia, sobre la fascinante epoca del Renacimiento en Italia.

Debía ser abogado y se descubrió artista; desde humilde copista en el Louvre a rey de los fauves; infatigable y paciente, Henri Matisse ha sabido fundir en su pintura la enseñanza de los antiguos maestros y las nuevas sugestiones del arte primitivo africano. Nacen asi los fauves, una de las vanguardias mas vibrantes del siglo XX, paralela al cubismo pero mas libre de esquemas intelectuales. Especial 100 Años con Matisse

Bonnard A definitive survey of the work of the great 20th-century colourist.Nicholas Watkins A definitive survey of the life and work of Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), one of the 20th century's great colourists Best known as a painter of intimate domestic interiors, Bonnard was also a highly accomplished draughtsman and graphic artist, and this book reproduces a wealth of his paintings, sketches and lithographs The author offers an important reassessment of Bonnard's role in the context of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, and explores his legacy of innovation The intimate domestic interiors of Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) are universally popular with art lovers. Less well known is his highly accomplished early work as an illustrator. His strongly coloured and boldly designed paintings of the 1890s, when he was associated with the Nabis group of painters, demonstrate his subtle energy and his acute sensitivity. In this monumental reassessment of Bonnard's life and work, Nicholas Watkins sets forth in a refreshing and dextrously argued thesis that Bonnard was not a sentimental survivor of Impressionism as some have claimed, but a highly innovative artist, constantly responding to new formal challenges, and one of the twentieth century's greatest colourists. Paintings, graphic work, lithographs and sketches are reproduced and examined in depth, providing a definitive study of this foremost and highly influential artist. This volume comprises an up-to-date, original and significant interpretation of this artist's dynamic career, displaying Watkins' own eloquence and intellectual rigour as well as the sophistication and unusual aestheticism of Bonnard.
