Zilia Sánchez

Descripción del libro

A beautifully produced, comprehensive look at Cuban artist Zilia Sánchez that traces her alluring and evocative paintings and sculpture from the 1950s to today Cuban artist Zilia Sánchez (b. 1926) often says, “Soy isla” (“I am an island”), expressing her desire for solitary, uncompromising practice. It also serves as a metaphor for her experience as an islander—connected to and disconnected from both the mainland and mainstream art currents, such as concretism, gestural abstraction, and minimalism. Characterized by reductive forms, clean lines, and sensuous curves suggestive of the female body, Sánchez’s work frequently references protagonists from ancient mythology and lunar motifs while embracing ambiguity. This groundbreaking volume examines her paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and graphic illustrations together with archival ephemera. It traces Sánchez’s artistic journey from her early years in Cuba through her travels in Europe and residence in New York in the 1960s to her move to Puerto Rico, where she still lives and works. With spectacular illustrations of more than 75 artworks, insightful essays situating Sánchez within the context of global modernism, and a conversation with the artist, this is the most comprehensive publication on Sánchez’s art to date.

Transcribir la lengua

Molte correnti della linguistica attuale si fondano sull'esame di materiale archiviato, come documenti scritti o dati orali registrati su supporto digitale. La pratica del trascrivere consente di travasare i dati dal loro contesto naturale ad un contesto scientifico - e di costituire in tal modo l'oggetto di studio. Gli autori riuniti in questo volume analizzano i rapporti che intercorrono fra l'inquadramento teorico e metodologico, l'oggetto di studio e la rappresentazione - attraverso la trascrizione - dei fenomeni rilevanti per l'analisi scientifica. Il volume è organizzato in cinque...

Camila, una iguana extranjera

Every night the small animals of the forest gather around the old oak tree to hear a story under the stars. Tonight the oak tree tells the story of Camila, the strange iguana, who never spoke but ate flies, laid in the sun and smiled at everyone who said hello. One day Camila lost her smile and began to lose her brillant green color. When the animals discover the cause, they try to help their new friend.

Libros y libreros en la Antigüedad

Platón, Jenofonte, Aristóteles ¿cómo iban a suponer que buscaríamos en sus obras los vestigios para la reconstrucción del pasado del libros y del negocio librero? El comercio de libros entre los griegos, la sabrosa labor de los editores romanos, las librerías de Atenas y Roma y las míticas bibliotecas son la materia misma de este libelo, en el que la pasión devota de Alfonso Reyes por el mundo de la Antigüedad clásica alcanza su forma más breve.
