José Guadalupe Posada Y la Hoja Volante Mexicana

Descripción del libro

These powerful and visually arresting newspaper illustrations and woodcut broadsides whose subjects range from news to religion, from corridos (escapades of bandits and heroes) to calveras (skeletal figures associated with the Day of the Dead)reflect indigenous folk-art traditions. In his graphically powerful penny handbills, Posada responded to the political and social issues of his day, addressed cultural ills, and spread moral ideas. Focusing on the Art Institute of Chicago's impressive and previously unpublished collection of prints by Posada, this book examines his work and places it in the larger context of Mexican printmaking in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

R. Crumb la colección de portadas de discos

Robert Crumb comenzó a dibujar portadas de discos en 1968, cuando Janis Joplin le pidió que le proporcionase una portada para su disco Cheap Thrills. Era una invitación de una artista entonces en ciernes y Robert Crumb no pudo resistir la tentación, sobre todo porque él ya estaba fascinado con las portadas de discos desde que era un adolescente, especialmente con las de las leyendas del jazz, country, y las de los viejos tiempos del blues de los años 20 y 30. Esta primera colaboración tuvo tanto éxito que Crumb creó cientos de portadas de discos, tanto para nuevos artistas como...

Contemporary Fashion Photographers

SPECIAL KINDS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. Fifty contemporary, cutting-edge photo-graphers open our eyes to the magical artificiality embraced by fashion photography today: chronicling the very processes of fashion, fashion photography is like fashion itself - it celebrates the immediate, the frivolous and the ephemeral.
