This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro, la palabra apunte adquiere un significado completamente nuevo, pues presenta las anotaciones que Rafael Lucas Rodríguez Caballero, destacado biólogo costarricense de renombre internacional, hizo al estudiar orquídeas a lo largo de varias décadas. Él disectó bajo el microscopio una amplia serie de flores, analizó la diversidad de su forma y presentó los resultados de manera técnica, con anotaciones minuciosas. Pero lo hizo en forma de acuarelas, de modo que examinar sus apuntes es descubrir una obra artística fantástica, en la cual los especímenes toman vida, y frecuentemente un aspecto tridimensional. Las láminas resaltan su ojo de naturalista y su sensibilidad de artista. Rafael Lucas murió sin completar este proyecto, y hasta la fecha solo una porción de su trabajo ha sido publicada. Este libro presenta más de 1000 acuarelas inéditas, con sus respectivas anotaciones. En ellas es posible hallar datos sobre la variación que ocurre dentro de las especies y entre ellas mismas, lo cual es muy relevante en la biología. También son claros sus esfuerzos por identificar las plantas que estudiaba, aspecto de interés en el área histórica. Y, tras décadas de esfuerzos por darlas a conocer, se ofrece aquí el arte espectacular de un estudiante prodigioso de las fascinantes formas de las orquídeas. In this book, the word note acquires a whole new meaning, as it presents the annotations that Rafael Lucas Rodríguez Caballero, prominent Costa Rican biologist of international renown, made as he studied orchids over the course of several decades. He dissected a broad series of flowers under the microscope, analyzed the diversity of their forms, and presented the results in a technical fashion, with meticulous annotations. But he did this in the form of watercolors, so that examining his notes is to discover a fantastic work of art, in which the specimens acquire life and, often, a three-dimensional aspect. These plates highlight his naturalist's eye and artist's sensibility. Rafael Lucas died without finishing this project, and to date only a fraction of this work has been published. This book presents over 1000 of his unpublished watercolors, with their corresponding annotations. In them, there are data on the variation that occurs within and between species, which is relevant in biology. Also clear are his efforts to identify the plants he studied, an aspect of historical interest. And, after decades of attempts at publishing it, here is the spectacular art of a prodigious student of the fascinating forms of orchids.

This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated, bilingual art book presents drawings by Ramón Casas in the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections at the Northwestern University Library and oil paintings by Casas from private collections and the Art Institute of Chicago. Charles Deering and Ramón Casas follows the development and dramatic dissolution of a three-way friendship that connected the Spanish painter Ramón Casas (1866–1932); the Chicago industrialist Charles Deering (1852–1927), who was a collector and admirer of Casas’s work as well as a patron of Northwestern University; and the Spanish artist Miguel Utrillo (1862–1934), Casas’s lifelong friend and the father of the French painter Maurice Utrillo. Casas introduced Deering to Sitges, a beach town near Barcelona, Spain, where the latter created a palatial estate with a museum to house his art collection. Miguel Utrillo served as director of the museum. The text explores the treasures housed at Maricel and what happened among the three men that led Casas to abandon Utrillo and Deering to depart Spain, taking his art collection with him.
