The paint-loaded palettes of fifty world-renowned artists are
displayed alongside the paintings the artists created using those
hues, and the colours and brushstrokes employed are analysed to
uncover surprising new stories about each artist and their work.
Presented broadly chronologically, the artists featured in this
revelatory book range from those working in the 17th century to the
present day, including Artemisia Gentileschi, Paul Cézanne, Berthe
Morisot, Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keeffe and
Bridget Riley. Each artist’s palette – whether photographed or
visible in self-portraits – is paired with one or more works by the
artist that reflect the colours of the paint remaining on the
palette.Colour expert and art historian Alexandra Loske skilfully
analyses each artist’s colour palette and brushstrokes to reveal
not only exactly how they used colour in their work but also to
tell the story of their journey with colour and the influence of
their approach on the wider culture to which they belonged. For
example, Georges Seurat meticulously arranged the paints on his
palette in prismatic order, isolating the colours and pairing each
with a blot of white paint. His pointillist technique was equally
apparent on his palette and his canvas.Kerry James Marshall uses
blots of zinc white and smears of pale pink on the surfaces of
symbolically oversized white palettes held by black artists in his
portraits, raising provocative questions about the role of colour
in the story of black history and white western art. The Artist’s
Palette will appeal to an art history audience, a wider audience
eager to learn more about the use of colour by the great artists
and amateur painters looking for inspiration in the creation of
their own work.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
