Patinir y la invension del paisaje / Patinir and the Invention of Landscape. Guia de la exposicion.
Museo Nacional del Prado, 2007, 2007. 1. Paperback, 55 paginas, Spanish text, Illustraciones,.240 X 190 X 10 mm ISBN: 9788484801214
Joachim Patinir, que trabajó en Amberes entre 1515 y 1524, fue el primer artista europeo especializado en pintar paisajes. Sus sorprendentes cuadros reflejan la curiosidad por el mundo natural que era característica del Renacimiento, y al mismo tiempo evocan la idea de un universo trascendente. Este documental aborda el enigma de un pintor cuya biografía apenas se conoce, y que revolucionó el mercado del arte e incluso el concepto mismo de la pintura en los albores del siglo XVI. Como conservador del Museo del Prado, Alejandro Vergara ha sido responsable de una gran exposición retrospectiva de su obra (3 de julio - 7 de octubre de 2007) que le ha llevado a buscar sus pinturas por diversos museos del mundo. A través de sus viajes y de diversos encuentros con expertos, Vergara investiga las claves de la pintura de Patinir. El análisis y la reflexión que se ofrecen al espectador le guían en el conocimiento de una bellísima y casi desconocida producción.

Spanish Painting : Four centuries of Art
Coll & Cortés Fine Arts, 2012. 1. Hardcover, 253 pages, ENG. edition, 300 x 275 x 45 mm, As New !, Full Page Coloured illustrations, with a illustrated dustjacket with flaps, for some protection in a cardbord slipcase . ISBN: 9788461615735
Like titans, El Greco and Velazquez tower at either end of the reign of Philip III, a quarter-century of remarkable artistic achievements during the Golden Age of Spain. A glorious exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts brings together monumental masterpieces by two of Spain's greatest painters and striking works by artists who deserve to be better known. Combining stunning works and groundbreaking scholarship, "El Greco to Velazquez: Art During the Reign of Philip III" transports visitors into a little-studied period of Spanish history that produced art so luminous it still glows like Mediterranean sunlight after 400 years. While showcasing 11 works by El Greco and seven by Velazquez, the exhibit also features distinctive paintings by Juan Bautista Maino, Juan Sanchez Cotan, Luis Tristan and Gregorio Fernandez, introducing deserving artists to the American public. Through masterpieces and lesser-known works, this exhibit guides viewers through a light-saturated age when devoutly Catholic Spain sought art that reflected the intensity of their faith and belief in divine revelation. "This was an age in which visions became painted," observed co-organizer Ronnie Baer, MFA curator of paintings and art of Europe.

A travers les photographies que Dora Maar prend de Picasso ou de ses oeuvres en cours d'exécution, comme des dessins, peintures, sculptures et poèmes que Picasso dédie à Dora, c'est l'histoire d'une décennie tragique allant de Guernica 1937 à l'Aubade 1942 et au Charnier 1945, que cette exposition et ce catalogue veulent rendre compte. Portant le masque de Minotaure, Picasso confère successivement à Dora les figures de la Sphinge, de la Femme qui pleure, suppliante ou de la mort elle-même, tandis qu'elle sera son témoin.

Velazquez y Sevilla : 2 Tomos - Estudios y Catalogo
Sevilla, Junta de Andalucia, 1999. 1. Paperback, 2 Tomos : SPA : Catalogo : 271 paginas / Estudios : 223 paginas, Nuevo, illustraciones en color y b/n, en un estuche., 280 x 240 x 45 mm. ISBN: 9788482660981
Sevilla fue la cuna que meció al maestro sevillano. No es casualidad que Velázquez naciera en este enclave geográfico. La Casa Natal permite recuperar la etapa artística más relevante que haya vivido sin duda la ciudad de Sevilla en el primer tercio del siglo XVII, cuando se pasó del manierismo al estilo de Flandes al renovador tenebrismo que vino de Italia. De ahí surgió un estilo propio conocido como el Naturalismo Sevillano. En este contexto, Velázquez desarrolló la obra de mayor interés en el mundo de la pintura del siglo XVII porque trató con igual excelencia todos los géneros: religiosos, mitológicos, retratos, históricos, paisajes, bodegones? Además de ser, indiscutiblemente, un maestro cuyo legado ha servido de referencia a todas las generaciones posteriores de artistas hasta nuestros días.

ANTONIO LÓPEZ GARCÍA : Master of Spanish realism
Waanders Uitgevers, 2024. 1. PB, 144 pag. ENG. edition, 300 x 240 mm, NIEUW, illustrations in color ISBN: 9789462625372
For more than twenty years, artist Antonio López has been dragging his painting supplies up and down a high tower to finish his panoramic painting of Madrid. It is typical of the Spaniard: the painting process is a way to get to know the world better, he believes. By measuring everything extensively and always staying close to his subject, López knows how to capture reality flawlessly. But his work never becomes distant or cold. Although López was already described as 'the greatest realistic artist' by American art critic Robert Hughes in the 1980s, his fame has not yet reached the Netherlands. Until now. This book serves as a Dutch introduction to the life and work of López. We get to know him personally in an interview and learn more about his technique in the articles of various Dutch and Spanish authors.

Kijken naar Picasso
WBooks, 2023. 1. Hardcover, 200 pag. NL, 295 x 230 mm, NIEUW, 118 afb. in kleur, . ISBN: 9789462585706
Pablo Picasso was misschien wel de grootste kunstenaar van de twintigste eeuw. Natuurlijk, er waren anderen die net als hij de richting van de moderne kunst veranderden. Wat hem uitzonderlijk maakt is zijn gave om zichzelf steeds opnieuw uit te vinden. De melancholieke poëet van de Blauwe en de Roze Periode werd de onpersoonlijke ingenieur van het kubisme. Kijken naar Picasso biedt een belangwekkend nieuw overzicht van het werk van de kunstenaar. Pepe Karmel negeert in zijn nieuwe boek speculaties over Picasso?s privéleven en richt de aandacht weer op zijn werk, daarbij eens te meer Picasso?s status bevestigend. In helder en toegankelijk proza onderzoekt Karmel Picasso?s werk, in alle expressie, schoonheid en confrontatie. Hij traceert de ontwikkeling van het oeuvre gedurende zeven decennia en toont hoe Picasso nieuwe beelden en thema?s introduceerde die de moderne kunst hebben veranderd. Met meer dan honderd afbeeldingen, ook van beroemde schilderijen als Les Demoiselles d?Avignon en Guernica, en daarnaast van talrijke tekeningen, beelden en grafische werken, biedt Kijken naar Picasso een fris perspectief op de sleutelinnovaties van de kunstenaar, en bovendien een compleet overzicht en volledige analyse van het werk van deze grote meester.

Dali en niets anders : Foto?s door Robert Descharnes, 1955?1985
WBOOKS, 2021. 1. Hardcover, 144 pagina's, NL, 275 x 230 mm, Nieuw, met illustraties in kleur / z/w. ISBN: 9789462584464
Salvador Dalí (1904?1989) was een kunstenaar met een buitengewone persoonlijkheid. Als geen ander verkende hij de grenzen van de kunst. Dalí dacht groots en maakte van zijn leven één groot optreden. Hij was vaak het middelpunt van de aandacht. De bevriende fotograaf Robert Descharnes (1926?2014) legde Salvador Dalí decennialang vast. De foto?s geven een blik in het persoonlijke leven van de wereldberoemde kunstenaar. Ze tonen Dalí in zijn vertrouwde leefomgeving: zoenend met zijn vrouw Gala, tijdens boottochten met vrienden en lezend aan het strand bij Cadaqués. Maar we zien ook een poserende Dalí, de kunstenaar aan het werk en zijn markante, creatieve uitingen. Salvador Dalí leek zich altijd bewust van zijn eigen imago. Het boek laat een sprekende selectie zien van 125 foto?s van Robert Descharnes uit de periode 1955?1985. Twee korte essays plaatsen de foto?s in hun context. De foto?s zijn in deze omvang voor het eerst in Nederland te zien in een tentoonstelling in Het Noordbrabants Museum, waarin naast de foto?s aan de hand van originele tekeningen, schetsen en commerciële opdrachten aandacht wordt geschonken aan Dalí als veelzijdig kunstenaar.

Picasso and Portraiture : Representation and Transformation
Thames & Hudson Ltd, 1996. 1. Hardcover, 495 pages, ENG, 310 x 240 x 45 mm, dustjacket, in Very Good Condition !!, illustrated in colour / b/ w. ISBN: 9780500237243
The first 100 years of modern art witnessed the popularization of photography, the decline of traditional patronage, and an increasing emphasis on abstraction in painting, all of which threatened the survival of portraiture as a genre. It continued to flourish because modern painters - Picasso foremost amongst them - sought and found meaningful new ways to portray the human face. This book focuses on this part of the artist's oevre, reproducing works in oil, gouache, pastel, charcoal and other media to illustrate the solutions Picasso invented to solve the "problem" of the modernist portrait. Published to accompany an exhibition to be shown at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1996, the book contains eight essays examining different periods and aspects of Picasso's career. The personal relationships between Picasso and his subjects are clarified
