Well before Andy Warhol’s rise to the pinnacle of Pop Art, he created and exhibited seductive drawings celebrating male beauty. Andy Warhol Love, Sex, & Desire: Drawings 1950-1962 features over three hundred drawings rendered primarily in ink on paper portraying young men, many of them nude, some sexually charged, and occasionally adorned with whimsical black hearts and delightful embellishments. They lounge or preen, proud of or even bored by their beauty, while the artist sketches them, rapt. They rarely engage with their keen observer, and likewise Warhol’s focus is on their form, their erotic qualities, and unbridled sexuality. If his subjects are content to revel in their attractiveness, so too is Warhol. His confident hand illustrates a multitude of colorful characters, yet also reveals much about this enigmatic artist.

Las imágenes de Daniela Rossell, minuciosamente estudiadas, parecen enteramente imaginadas, incluso de un modo delirante. Lo que revelan sus personajes le otorga a su fotografía un aire de locura apenas contenido.
Centra su mirada etnográfica no en las vidas cotidianas de los humildes y en sus tradiciones y costumbres inmemoriales, sino en su propia clase social: los oligarcas cuyo poder económico y político mantiene a los humildes en su sitio. O no precisamente en los oligarcas en persona, sino en aquellos que viven a su cargo, sus esposas y sus hijas (y ocasionalmente sus hijos, aunque está claro que el interés principal de Rossell radica en las vidas de las mujeres).

Through the turbulent passage of time, graphic design-with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea-has distilled the spirit of each age. Surrounding us every minute of every day, from minimalist packaging to colorful adverts, smart environmental graphics to sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about transmitting information as it is about reflecting society's cultural aspirations and values.

This second volume rounds off our in-depth exploration of graphic design, spanning from the 1960s until today. About 3,500 seminal designs from across the globe guide us in this visual map through contemporary history, from the establishment of the International Style to the rise of the groundbreaking digital age. Around 80 key pieces go under the microscope in detailed analyses besides 118 biographies of the era's most important designers, including Massimo Vignelli (New York subway wayfinding system), Otl Aicher (Lufthansa identity), Paula Scher (Citibank brand identity), Neville Brody (The Face magazine), Kashiwa Sato (Uniqlo brand identity), and Stefan Sagmeister (handwriting posters).

History is a complex business. Fortunes boom and bust, empires wax and wane, and change?whether social, political, or technological?has its winners, its losers, its advocates, and its enemies. Through all the turbulent passage of time, graphic design?with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea?has distilled the spirit of each age.

This book is an in-depth history of graphic design from the end of the 19th century to the ?50s. It traces the evolution of this creative field from its beginning as poster design to its further development into advertising, corporate identity, packaging, and editorial design.

M. Cassandre (art deco posters).

James H. Brown
ORB de James HD Brown se trata de una edición facsimilar del libro que el artista proyectó antes de su trágica muerte en 2020.

In today’s world of instant snapshots, 24-hour news, and round-the-clock connectivity, an illustrated press where the images are as important as the text has become an increasingly rare art form. This far-reaching compendium celebrates the golden age of graphic journalism as a distinct and unique genre and a laboratory for developing avant-garde aesthetics.Spanning from 1819 to 1921, the collection covers a broad range of news graphics and political and satirical cartoons.

In 2016, sportswear manufacturer Nike and fashion designer Virgil Abloh joined forces to create a sneaker collection celebrating 10 of the Oregon-based company’s most iconic shoes. With their project The Ten—which reimagined icons like Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Force 1, and Air Presto, among others—they reinvigorated sneaker culture.

Virgil Abloh’s designs offer deep insights into engineering ingenuity and burst with cultural cachet. Drawing on the genius of the original shoe using lettering, ironic labels, collage, and sculpting techniques, Abloh played with language and sculptural elements to construct new meaning. Inspired by the wit of Dadaism, architectural theory, and avant-garde happenings, he analyzed what makes each shoe iconic and deconstructed it into an artistic assemblage, making each shoe into a piece of industrial design, a readymade sculpture, and a wearable all at once.
