Eatopedia - Aina Bestard - Bog - Thames & Hudson Ltd - Plusbog.dk

What shape is wombat poo and why? Why might a crab turn into a zombie? What does a tree-shrew use as a toilet? And which creature WANTS to be eaten? Food is what keeps every animal alive, including us. But eating is not as simple as it seems. Bodies need to break down the food they eat, and this is where the digestive system plays a starring role. A starfish, a giraffe, a vulture and a bee eat, digest and poo in very different ways, and there's always a reason why. This fabulously illustrated book opens up the digestive systems of a dizzying range of vertebrates and invertebrates, and explains why, in the animal kingdom, you really are what you eat!

Hokusai - - Bog - Thames & Hudson Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An important publication on Hokusai’s remarkable late work, originally published to accompany the acclaimed retrospective at the British Museum and now available in a compact edition. Hokusai created sublime works during the last thirty years of his life, right up to his death at the age of ninety. Publications have hitherto presented his long career as a chronological sequence. This book takes a fresh approach based on innovative scholarship: thematic groupings of works are related to the major spiritual and artistic quests of his life. Hokusai’s personal beliefs are studied here through major brush paintings, drawings, woodblock prints and illustrated books. The book gives due attention to the contribution of Hokusai’s daughter Eijo (Oi), an accomplished artist in her own right. Hokusai continually explored the mutability and minutiae of natural phenomena in his art. His late subjects and styles were based on a mastery of eclectic Japanese, Chinese and European techniques and an encyclopaedic knowledge of nature, myth, and history. Mount Fuji was the most significant model for the artist in his quest for immortality. This collection of Hokusai’s works draws on the finest to be found in Japan and around the world, making this a uniquely valuable overview of the artist’s late career.

nendo - Oki Sato - Bog - Thames & Hudson Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A large-format book that uncovers the secrets behind Nendo’s unique creative process. He named his firm ‘Nendo’, the Japanese word for modelling clay; he uses manga-like sketches to illustrate his design concepts; and he creates some of the most imaginative furniture in the world: he is Oki Sato, one of Japan’s most prolific designers. At any given moment, he has hundreds of projects in the works – architecture, interiors, furniture, tableware, and more. ‘There is nothing I would not design,’ says Sato. Sato renders his designs with remarkable conceptual clarity. At the outset, he allows his imagination to run wild and then documents his idea with a simple black line drawing – be it a bathroom basin defined by a single, ceramic swirl or a pair of wooden chopsticks that twist together to become one. These 2D images are converted into minimal 3D shapes described with clean outlines and a largely monochrome palette. Like a traditional Japanese ink painting, which constructs an image with just a few brush strokes, Sato extracts the unnecessary and eliminates distraction. Featuring Sato’s original sketches, full-scale product images and explanatory texts, Project Nendo uncovers and unpicks the designer’s unique creative process, guiding the reader step-by-step through his innovative and playful world to reveal the secrets behind fifty of his inimitable works.

Revisions: Francis Bacon in the Act of Painting - - Bog - Thames & Hudson Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An indispensable supplement to Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné, uncovering valuable new information about the artist's practice. The manner in which Bacon’s paintings evolved was misunderstood during his lifetime. Since he always painted alone in his studios, there were no witnesses to the emergence of his visceral imagery. His insistence on privacy helped generate considerable speculation about his painting process, most of it erroneous. Bacon did make one clear statement about the genesis of his paintings: ‘I sketch out very roughly on the canvas with a brush, just a vague outline of something, and then I go to work …’. Yet this fundamentally accurate summation of his technique ran counter to the received wisdom and was misunderstood or ignored. Martin Harrison's introductory essay begins by demonstrating exactly what Bacon meant, and what he did: it will show what ‘rough sketching’ signified. It also deploys X-ray and infrared images that reveal under-drawing, and analyses other features that elucidate Bacon’s methodology. Photographs of paintings briefly arrested at intermediate points before completion – taken by the few visitors to the studio allowed the privilege – help to explain later stages in painting process. Sophie Pretorius's survey incorporates every one of the images that have hitherto remained unseen, illustrating the transitional states of all the paintings recorded in photographs, arranged thematically. A reference section includes thumbnail images of all the paintings discussed here, arranged in chronological order. This is consistent with the layout of Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné (2016), to which this volume may be regarded as a supplement, publishing significant new information.

Brett Whiteley - Barry Pearce - Bog - Thames & Hudson Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Brett Whiteley was one of the most dynamic and talented artists in the history of Australian art, an artist whose recognition had spread worldwide before his untimely death in 1992. Early in his career he established a name for himself in London, exhibiting at the Whitechapel Art Gallery and coming into contact with many British painters - Francis Bacon and David Hockney among others. His early paintings startled critics and fellow artists, but even at that point, two basic subjects were evident: the landscape and the nude, elements which became the mainstay of his oeuvre. At the root of all Whiteley's work was a draughtsmanship of stunning virtuosity, capable of capturing all the poetic arabesque of a river in a single sweeping line of brush and ink, or the erotic curves of the human body in a few searching strokes of charcoal. This volume presents an illuminating evaluation of Whiteley's achievement. Works dating from the 1950s to the last years of his life, illustrated in over 180 colour plates, allow Whiteley's career to be surveyed in its entirety. Barry Pearce, Head Curator at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, provides a comprehensive overview of Whiteley's life and art; Bryan Robertson offers an impression of the artist's years in London; and Wendy Whiteley, the artist's wife and companion for over three decades, contributes an intimate portrait of the man behind the work. Superbly illustrated and produced, Brett Whiteley: Art & Life is a fitting tribute to one of Australia's most significant artists, a man whose outstanding work excites, amazes and impresses us no less now than it did when first created.

Hokusai: A Life in Drawing (Deluxe Edition) - Henri Alexis Baatsch - Bog - Thames & Hudson Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A deluxe large-format edition of this beautifully illustrated introduction to Katsushika Hokusai, the most prolific artist of Japan’s Edo period, and master of ukiyo-e – ‘images of the floating world’. Hokusai: the blue, foam-crested wave rearing above Mount Fuji; the celebrated volcano idealized and reinvented by the artist in every nuance of view, season and painting; extraordinary bridges, the waterfalls of Japan, the contortions, costumes, gestures – the very breath of men, women, peasants, townsmen, warriors, artisans, leaping horses, birds, insects, fish, almost live on the ground on which they are painted – the countless imaginative drawings or the lively sketches done on the spot for the Manga, Hokusai’s record of shapes and forms drawn from life or imagined over time. With a body of work comprising more than 30,000 drawings and paintings, Hokusai (1760–1849) was the most prolific, varied and indisputably the most creative artist of old Japan. A universal genius in everything that constituted drawing and painting in his time, he practised all genres of ukiyo-e, those ‘images of the floating world’, as his contemporaries liked to describe their pleasures and their daily life. This book traces the career of this child from a working-class district of old Tokyo, then known as Edo, evoking the special atmosphere of this great city and of Japanese life, when Japan – closed to foreigners – developed in a vacuum a powerfully original culture. Hokusai became one of the great masters of the woodcut, this ‘brush gone wild’, as he called himself, being rediscovered by the Impressionists and aesthetes at the end of the 19th century. He remains one of the greatest and – thanks to his personality – one of the most attractive figures of world art.
