Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. In January 1937, the Spanish Rebublican government asked Picasso to paint a mural for the Spanish pavilion at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. At first unsure of how to tackle a task of such importance, Picasso was spurred into action by news reports of the horrific aerial bombardment of the Basque town of Guernica, victim of the civil war. He worked intensively, producing more than fifty studies and making extensive revisions to the vast canvas which was installed in Paris in mid-June. Redolent with political allusions, reportage and historical references, the painting has attracted debate and analysis ever since its completion. Scala's 4-fold format is ideal for exploring this fascinating painting. Divided into thematic sections, it takes the reader through each aspect of the painting, showing preliminary sketches, repeated themes in Picasso's work and dramatic aerial shots of the bombing of Guernica, culminating in a splendid horizontal fold-out of the entire painting. The Series Scala are pr.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Colourful, humour-filled and provocative, Joan Mirc's late painted sculpture forms a beautiful, little known group of medium and large-scale works. Mirc (1893-1983), best known for his paintings, is recognised as part of the Surrealist and Modernist canon. This elegant volume is the first ever in-depth study of his exuberant, brilliantly-painted late sculpture, fully illustrated with related and seldom-exhibited studies and sketchbooks, maquettes, documentary photographs and rare film-stills. An accessible narrative by leading scholars offers new documentation about the inspiration for and creation of the sculpture, along with fresh interpretations of its place in Mirc's work, its cultural context and its critical reception. The book accompanies an exhibition opening at the Corcoran Museum of Art, Washington, D.C. in September 2002. In January 2003 the exhibition will travel to the Salvador Dal! Museum of Art in St Petersburg, Florida, after which the sculptures will return to their permanent homes.

Book
No binding. Condition: Good. 1. Las Meninas (The Maids of Honour) is more than a portrait, or even a portrait of a portraitist at work. Vel zquez was always concerned about his status at court; he thus includes the king and the queen in this painting, both reflected in a mirror, and present as witnesses to the painter in creative flow. The figures in the picture seem caught between one position and the next, with the snapshot effect that the Impressionists and Degas were to seek 200 years later. Other painters tried to match or improve the extraordinary illusion of space in the picture. But Vel zquez's skill in achieving this was already apparent in earlier works. The painting is an example of the power of art to communicate what is real and to imagine what by nature is unreal. This superb 4-fold guide examines in detail the work's historical context and unravels the many levels of meaning contained within it.
