Download or read book BURP the other wine book written by Bas Korpel and published by Fitzroy Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wine book that turns the world of wine upside down. This time the starting point is not the differences between wine regions, grape varieties, top producers or exceptional terroir. In Burp - the other wine book the focus is on the design and the stories behind the labels. Bas Korpel, writer and wine specialist: “The world of wine is infinite. Behind every label, there is a story. And we strongly believe that a wine tastes better when you know the story behind it. While making the book we discovered stories about battling armies, a logistical nightmare and an inventive importer. Thanks to the book we got our hands on the work of the art director of The Godfather, a label turned into a sobriety test and we exposed an artist’s disputable choices he made during World War II. The good thing is that our readers can now discover all these trivia themselves.” Jur Baart, concept maker and illustrator: “By looking at wine from the starting point of the label, you suddenly get completely different stories when opening a nice bottle. You no longer have to be a ‘wine nerd’ to have an entertaining story at the table. Burp is suitable for both the wine freak and the novice enthusiast. It not only describes the wine, but also the world of design, storytelling and branding. " The book contains 260 pages and describes 40 different wines. The makers Bas Korpel and Jur Baart call it a "punk wine book", because not only the stories are outspoken, but also the illustrations and photography. They published Burp - the other wine book themselves under the name of Fitzroy Publishing.

Download or read book Six Drawing Lessons written by William Kentridge and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades, the visual artist William Kentridge has garnered international acclaim for his work across media including drawing, film, sculpture, printmaking, and theater. Rendered in stark contrasts of black and white, his images reflect his native South Africa and, like endlessly suggestive shadows, point to something more elemental as well. Based on the 2012 Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, Six Drawing Lessons is the most comprehensive collection available of Kentridge’s thoughts on art, art-making, and the studio. Art, Kentridge says, is its own form of knowledge. It does not simply supplement the real world, and it cannot be purely understood in the rational terms of traditional academic disciplines. The studio is the crucial location for the creation of meaning: the place where linear thinking is abandoned and the material processes of the eye, the hand, the charcoal and paper become themselves the guides of creativity. Drawing has the potential to educate us about the most complex issues of our time. This is the real meaning of “drawing lessons.” Incorporating elements of graphic design and ranging freely from discussions of Plato’s cave to the Enlightenment’s role in colonial oppression to the depiction of animals in art, Six Drawing Lessons is an illustration in print of its own thesis of how art creates knowledge. Foregrounding the very processes by which we see, Kentridge makes us more aware of the mechanisms—and deceptions—through which we construct meaning in the world.
