A compelling and authoritative overview of the drawings of Vincent
van Gogh, one of the most celebrated and intriguing figures in the
history of art. Vincent van Gogh's (1853-1890) drawings are some of
the most familiar and expressive in the history of art. Van Gogh
believed that drawing was the 'root of everything', and this was
reflected in his remarkable output of over 1,000 works during his
short and tragic life, many of them personal, often lonely
explorations of the emerging modern world.This book is the first
comprehensive account to celebrate the singularity of the artist's
achievements in this field. Arranged broadly thematically, from
drawings of potato harvesters to depictions of knotted poplars,
pensive studies from life to a sketch of the famous Yellow House in
Arles, eminent art historian and curator Christopher Lloyd
encourages readers to consider the artist's drawings from a fresh
viewpoint: documenting successes and failures, experiments, trials
and disappointments. Primarily self-taught, Van Gogh's approach to
drawing was instinctual, but he soon recognized the importance of
mastering the grammar of art - anatomy, foreshortening, perspective
- as well as materials and techniques, in order to express his
emotional responses to a subject as vividly as possible.With
examples from the artist's voluminous and emotionally charged
family correspondence, sketchbooks, and comparative artworks by the
Old Masters and contemporaries, this engaging study outlines why
drawing is central to Van Gogh's oeuvre, and equal to the intensity
and reputation of his paintings. Featuring works from the Van Gogh
Museum, Amsterdam and many other important collections in Europe
and the US, this beautifully illustrated volume offers an extensive
interpretation of the artist's drawings, beyond what has been
published to date.
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.
