For this artist's sketchbook, Spanish painter, author and set
designer Eduardo Arroyo (born 1937) created 20 drawings and then
mailed them to 20 international artists, such as Bruno Bruni,
William Klein and Peter Blake, to make pairs for them. This volume
reproduces all 40 works. Text in Spanish only.
FOLLOWING FROM THE ENORMOUS SUCCESS OF WORDS AND PICTURES AND
BEYOND THE PAGE , THIS THIRD VOLUME CONTINUES A NARRATIVE OF VISUAL
ADVENTURES OF UNUSUAL DIVERSITY. Pens Ink & Places contains a
wealth of new material, ranging from touching series of vignettes
for Great Ormond Street Hospital to gigantic drawings for the
Jerwood Gallery in Hastings; from the sombre apocalyptic landscapes
of Riddley Walker to the energetic fantasy of Billy and the
Minpins. This beautiful volume also includes Blake's unique
illustrations made to accompany accompany the works of John Ruskin,
La Fontaine, Lucius Apuleius and Beatrix Potter. Blake's commentary
- straight, as it were, from the drawing board - explores the
challenges and opportunities in the creation of drawings known
around the world, as well as others seen here for the first time.
It is clear from every page of this informative and richly
illustrated volume that there has been no slackening of brio in the
scratchy pen nib of an artist who has been called the `Godfather of
Illustration'.
The Art of Football is a singular look at early college football
art and illustrations. This collection contains more than two
hundred images, many rare or previously unpublished, from a variety
of sources, including artists Winslow Homer, Edward Penfield, J. C.
Leyendecker, Frederic Remington, Charles Dana Gibson, George
Bellows, and many others. Along with the rich art that captured the
essence of football during its early period, Michael Oriard
provides a historical context for the images and for football
during this period, showing that from the beginning it was
perceived more as a test of courage and training in manliness than
simply an athletic endeavor. Oriard's analysis shows how these
early artists had to work out for themselves-and for readers-what
in the new game should be highlighted and how it should appear on
the page or canvas. The Art of Football takes modern readers back
to the day when players themselves were new to the sport, and
illustrators had to show the public what the new game of football
was. Oriard demonstrates how artists focused on football's dual
nature as a grueling sport to be played and as a social event and
spectacle to be watched. Through its illustrations and words The
Art of Football gives readers an engaging look at the earliest
depictions of the game and the origins of the United States as a
football nation.
