Download or read book The Figurative Artist s Handbook written by Robert Zeller and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Authoritative, Comprehensive Guide for Contemporary Figurative Artists At a time when renewed interest in figurative art is surging throughout the art world, author Robert Zeller presents The Figurative Artist’s Handbook—the first comprehensive guide to figure drawing and painting to appear in decades. Illustrated with Zeller’s own exquisite drawings and paintings as well as works by nearly 100 historical and contemporary figurative art masters, the handbook is also a treasure trove of the finest figurative art of the past and the present day. Included are Michelangelo, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Peter Paul Rubens, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Gustav Klimt, Edward Hopper, Andrew Loomis, Andrew Wyeth, Lucian Freud, Odd Nerdrum, Eric Fischl, Bo Bartlett, Steven Assael, John Currin, and many others. Original and thoroughly modern in his approach, Zeller brings together three figure-drawing methods long thought to be at odds, synthesizing these seemingly incompatible techniques to achieve a cohesive and complete understanding of the human figure. Although all three methods underlie contemporary fine-arts practice and education, no artist’s handbook has ever combined them before: The Study of Gesture (Disegno): Rooted in the Italian Mannerist style of the 16th and 17th centuries, the gestural method emphasizes life, rhythm, and movement in the human body. The Structural Approach: A mainstay of 20th- and 21st-century art instruction, this method applies an architectural perspective to the body, using a block conception for anatomically sound, solid figures. The Atelier Method: Based on the training provided by 18th- and 19th-century art academies, the atelier approach creates sensual, smooth renderings based on meticulous study of the figure’s surface morphology in light and shadow. Covering all the basics as well as many advanced techniques, The Figurative Artist’s Handbook is aimed at both students and experienced artists. A practical, how-to guide, it provides in-depth step-by-step instruction and—rare among figure-drawing books—features sections on composition, portraiture, and painting. Chapters on creativity and on using a sketchbook help readers hone their artistic vision and evolve ideas from the initial inspiration to the fully developed work. Also included is an extensive section highlighting the great movements in figurative art throughout history—from ancient Egypt and Greece to the present.

Download or read book Soft Nudes for the Devil s Butcher written by Pep Pentangeli and published by Deicide Press. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men's adventure magazines were a form of pulp publishing which flourished in 1950s and 1960s America, pandering to the cruelty and lust of young men with luridly illustrated stories of war, sleaze and savagery. They arose partly in response to the inauguration of the Comics Code in 1954, as a way of circumventing censorship by presenting material in a new, "adults-only" format. The prime years of the men's adventure magazine unleashed a visual and verbal deluge of exposed and tormented flesh, bloody mayhem and sexual delinquency, representing a unique cultural phenomenon in US publishing and art. SOFT NUDES FOR THE DEVIl'S BUTCHER is a new anthology which collects some prime examples of text and artwork from a range of men's adventure magazines published during the prime years of the genre. The book is divided into two main sections: FEATURES includes a selection of sensationalistic, semi-factual confessions and case histories on such subjects as rape in Soviet prisons, Hitler's secret sex life, prostitution, the persecution of witches, and other aberrations; and FICTION collects vivid examples of garishly illustrated short pulp fiction, with categories including war, white slavery, Nazi horror, jungle savagery, Red menace, Devil worship, torture, sadism and erotic carnage. The book also features numerous examples of interior art from classic men's magazines, and includes 35 features and stories, with more than 50 full-size illustrations, and 16 pages of full color, with work by such classic pulp artists as Norm Eastman, Norman Saunders and John Duillo. Features and stories include: I ESCAPED FROM THE SOVIET HELL CAMP; CHAINED NUDES FOR THE DEVIl'S DUNGEON; CRUSHED BY THE CONGO MONSTERS; VIRGIN BRIDES FOR SATAN'S LUST ORGIES; PASSION SLAVE OF THE WHIP GODDESS; NAZI MADHOUSE ZOO OF RAVAGED WOMEN; TEENAGE NAZI WEREWOLVES OF BERLIN; SECRET HORROR CAGES OF THE NAZI DWARF; HANDMAIDENS OF HORROR OF THE KEMPEITAI; 1,000 NAKED BEAUTIES FOR THE DEVIl'S PLAGUE; SOFT BODIES FOR THE NAZI'S HALL OF THE LIVING DEAD; and many others. Pulp Mayhem is a new illustrated book series of vintage pulp fiction, art and pop culture.

Download or read book Four Reincarnations written by Max Ritvo and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverent and profane, entertaining and bruising, Four Reincarnations is a debut collection of poems that introduces an exciting new voice in American letters. When Max Ritvo was diagnosed with cancer at age sixteen, he became the chief war correspondent for his body. The poems of Four Reincarnations are dispatches from chemotherapy beds and hospitals and the loneliest spaces in the home. They are relentlessly embodied, communicating pain, violence, and loss. And yet they are also erotically, electrically attuned to possibility and desire, to “everything living / that won’t come with me / into this sunny afternoon.” Ritvo explores the prospect of death with singular sensitivity, but he is also a poet of life and of love—a cool-eyed assessor of mortality and a fervent champion for his body and its pleasures. Ritvo writes to his wife, ex­-lovers, therapists, fathers, and one mother. He finds something to love and something to lose in everything: Listerine PocketPak breath strips, Indian mythology, wool hats. But in these poems—from the humans that animate him to the inanimate hospital machines that remind him of death—it’s Ritvo’s vulnerable, aching pitch of intimacy that establishes him as one of our finest young poets.

Book excerpt: "Standing over six feet tall and fourteen feet wide and spanning three wood panels 'The Fulbright Triptych' is a masterpiece of contemporary American art. Reproducing a vast array of visual, literary, and historical references, this striking family tableau inspires and challenges the viewer to reflect on the meaning of time, the construction of experience, the nature of family, and the wonder of art's creation. Singular in its rich range of contributors--writers and actors, poets and musicians, professors and composers--'The Suspension of Time' collects a series of meditations on this extraordinary painting. The result is a rich dialogue of symphonic connectivity that explores Guy Davenport's notion that 'Art is always an invention inside a tradition'"--Publisher's description, p. [2] of cover.
