Download or read book Picasso written by Pablo Picasso and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2009 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il catalogo riproduce interamente la Suite 347, di proprietà di Bancaja di Valencia. Tutte le incisioni, appunto 347, realizzate da Picasso tra marzo e ottobre del 1968, rappresentano il "diario di bordo" di un uomo che "senza curarsi delle proprie ansie o di quelle profonde inquietudini che spesso cercava, portandole a galla, di esorcizzare," si apriva "alla percezione del mondo esterno, quel mondo che a un uomo di quasi 87 anni appariva folle, grottesco. Aveva visto ben altro!" La Suite è composta da quattro grandi nuclei tematici: La Celestina, ovvero le stampe selezionate da Picasso per un'edizione della Celestina di Fernando de Rojas, pubblicata dall'atelier Crommelynck nel 1971; Picasso, la sua opera e il suo pubblico, una sorta di presentazione dei soggetti principali e di tutte le tecniche e gli stili utilizzati; Mitologia e circo, in cui affiorano la mitologia mediterranea e i tradizionali temi picassiani: il Don Chisciotte, i personaggi di Rembrandt, Raffaello, le mezzane ecc...; Il pittore e le modelle, incisioni che rimandano a temi della Suite Vollard e a quelli ripresi nella Suite 156 con Degas e Poussin nella parte di voyeur, i moschettieri e le donne rembrandtiane. Inoltre, il tema di Raffaello e la Fornarina, già trattato da Ingres, viene affrontato da Picasso con maggiore ironia e malizia. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali

Download or read book Asian Material Culture written by Marianne Hulsbosch and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated volume offers the reader unique insight into the materiality of Asian cultures and the ways in which objects and practices can simultaneously embody and exhibit aesthetic and functional characteristics, as well as everyday and spiritual aspirations. Though each chapter is representative, rather than exhaustive, in its portrayal of Asian material culture, together they clearly demonstrate that objects are entities that resonate with discourses of human relationships, personal and group identity formations, ethics, values, trade, and, above all, distinctive futures.
