Описание: A new survey of the best works by the elusive and spectacular Spanish Impressionist Joaquin Sorolla. Often compared to his contemporary, the American artist John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla (1863-1923) was a master draftsman and painter of landscapes, formal portraits, and monumental, historically themed canvases. Highly influenced by French Impressionism, the Valencian artist was a master plein-air painter known for his luminous seaside scenes of frolicking youths and for vivid depictions of Spanish rural life and its pleasures and customs. This beautifully designed and produced volume brings together one hundred of Sorolla's major paintings, selected by his great-granddaughter Blanca Pons-Sorolla, the foremost authority on the artist. Benefiting from close proximity to the artist and his personal archives, she presents an in-depth essay that explores Sorolla's life, work, and remarkable international legacy. With virtually all of the artist's previous publications now out of print, this much-anticipated volume is an important addition to the literature on this great Spanish master.

Описание:

Sorolla was the perfect chronicler of trends and styles in clothing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries

Spanish painter Joaqu n Sorolla was a keen observer of the life and styles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sorolla was fascinated by fashion, and the way women presented themselves at the seaside, in their homes, in cafes and on city streets; his letters home to his wife from his sojourns in Paris report on new trends and the dresses he was going to bring home for her and

his daughters.

Sorolla's interest in fashion is obvious in his work, even when it is not ostensibly his subject; the women who appear in his canvases--bathed in flickering light and registered in loose, dynamic brushstrokes--present an evocative catalog of the day's trends in dress, jewelry and accessories. Gossamer sashes blowing in sea air, dizzyingly delicate lace embroidery, and pleated bodices--Sorolla captured a sumptuous parade of styles in his paintings.

Lavishly produced and richly illustrated, Sorolla and Fashion brings together paintings by the artist and a selection of related clothing from the period. Including works drawn from public and private collections in Spain and abroad, this volume focuses on the female portraits that the artist executed between 1890 and 1920--from intimate pictures of his family to more formal portrait commissions.

Spanish painter Joaqu n Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923) has been called the "painter of light" for the shimmering, luminous quality of his large-scale Impressionist paintings of contemporary social life. Traveling between Spain, Paris and the United States throughout his career, Sorolla combined an academic training, attention to the quality of daily life in his native Valencia and an awareness of international art trends in his work.

Описание: Both a reference work and a textbook, Luna Blanca's Tarot Book includes card interpretations and instructional chapters. Illustrated with black and white images of all 78 cards from the previously unpublished Tranquil Willows deck, this text compares images from several decks to reveal a range of interpretations for each card. Motherpeace, Crowley's Thoth, Kris Waldherr's Goddess Tarot and Lover's Path, Robin Wood, New Vision, and Rider-Waite-Smith are all discussed here. Each Major Arcana card includes keywords; a general interpretation; Dark Side which may apply to reversed cards; Light Side which suggests an activity; Between the Decks which presents a comparison of the images in several decks; In Spiritual Work which suggests ways to use the card in meditation, prayer, or ritual; Questions to Ask for reflecting on the application of the card; Affirmations for integrating the message of the card; and Snapshot which provides a haikuesque poem encapsulating the feeling of the card. 

 Each Minor Arcana card includes a multi-deck comparison and a general interpretation. Keywords are provided for each number and face card, for example, keywords for the Aces, the Twos, and so forth. A brief discussion of the suits, the court and Tarot history cards is also included. In the instructional chapters, Reading the Cards begins with one-card spreads and builds up to complex spreads. It also includes advice on reading for others and on learning multiple decks. Numerology and Tarot gives instructions for calculating a person's Name, Lifetime, and Year Symbols, and an explanation of how those symbols interact. Tarot for Meditation and Spiritual Intent shows how to explore Tarot cards in meditation and incorporate the cards in prayer and ritual.
