Antonio Lopez (1943-1987) is the Picasso of fashion illustration. An unparalleled virtuoso, he captured the pulse of style at ground zero from the Sixties to the Eighties. Recording and predicting contemporary style trends, he also used his omnivorous versatility to adopt a broad range of art movements in his work, from Pop Art to Surrealism. His illustrations, interspersed with his photographs, of the beautiful people who are part of celebrity folklore - the 15-year-old Jerry Hall, whom he discovered, Grace Jones, Mick Jagger, Faye Dunaway, Paloma Picasso, Jackie Kennedy - make this a ...

This big and beautiful book presents a comprehensive survey of the work of one of Japans greatest and most influential artists, together with a collection of essays that focus on a key aspects of the masters career. The book opens with an introductory essay by Gian Carlo Calza presenting an overview of the changing world Hokusai was born into and lived through. This is followed by a series of essays by distinguished Western and Japanese scholars that present new research on a range of crucial areas of interest in Hokusai studies. These form a context for the core of the book, which forms a retrospective of Hokusais entire career, divided into seven chapters. Each chapter provides a succinct account of a phase in Hokusais life, followed by a series of the finest and most representative works of that period. Great care has been taken throughout to choose for reproduction the best-preserved original prints that reveal Hokusais mastery of line and colour to full advantage. This magnificent pictorial survey of Hokusais prints, paintings and drawings is the first publication in English to make such a rich selection widely available, and to demonstrate the extraordinary range and quality of Hokusais achievement. The final component of the book is a detailed scholarly commentary on each illustration that provides not only the necessary technical information but also a revealing analysis of style, colour, composition and motif.

Ludovico Carracci (1555-1619) has long been underestimated. Celebrated as the uncontested head of the Bolognese school by Malvasia in Felsina Pittrice, several of his paintings have been confused with works by Caravaggio and by his cousin and pupil Annibale Carracci, whose fame has eclipsed his. The reconstruction of his uvre (both paintings and drawings) in the last twenty years has allowed art historians to restore him to his proper place in the development of modern painting. Around 1590 his initially naturalistic approach, based on a neo-mannerist heritage, develops into a totally original language of stylised elegance and measured expressionism. Draughtsmanship is fundamental to Ludovico's creative process. The variety of techniques, inventiveness and dynamism in composition give his graphic work an uncommon appeal, much appreciated in the eighteenth century by the greatest collectors. The Louvre collection holds many of his masterpieces.
