Talk Back - The Bubble Project

Our communal spaces are
overrun with ads.
Buidlings, bus stops,
phone booths and subways
scream one message after
another at us. Once
considered "public",
these spaces are
increasingly being seized
by corporations to
propogate their messages
solely in the interest of
profit. Armed with heavy
budgets, their marketing
tactics are becoming more
and more aggressive and
manipulative. We, the
public, are both targets
and victims of this media
attack. The Bubble
Project is the
counterattack. The
Bubbles are the
ammunition. Once placed
on ads, these stickers
transform the corporate
monologue into a public
dialogue, encouraging
anyone to fill them in
with any expression free
from censorship. More
Bubbles mean more freed
spaces, more sharing of
personal thoughts, more
reactions to current
events, and most
importantly, more
imagination and more fun.
Cover Colour may vary.

The Human Form

The representation of the
human form is one of the
most widespread and
enduring art subjects in
the world. Now,
following a long period
spent in the shadows of
the 20th century's trend
towards abstraction, the
nude is re-emerging into
the mainstream to reclaim
its place as a subject
both in art and
sculpture. Meanwhile,
the human form has
maintained its central
and irreplaceable role in
the technical training of
artists. The first part
of this book contains
practical information and
advice on the many
drawing and painting
techniques that are
employed when painting
the nude. The second part
looks closely at the
practicalities of
rendering the colours of
the skin and advises on
colour mixes in a range
of painting mediums. Part
three goes into further
detail, breaking down
several approaches to
painting or drawing the
nude into working stages.
Here you will find
explanations of the
principles to be followed
and some tips relating to
nude studies in various
mediums. The final and
largest section of the
book contains a gallery
of female and male life
drawings, each
accompanied by a short
commentary in which
anatomical and
morphological points of
interest to the artist
are discussed.

Missing Masterpieces - Lost
Works Of Art 1450-1900

In this ground-breaking
study of missing
masterpieces,
Gert-Rudolf Flick
presents detailed case
histories of great works
of art that have simply
vanished. None of them is
known for certain to have
been destroyed; all of
them are recorded in the
form of copies,
drawings, studies, or
engravings.
Tantalizingly, any of
them might turn up at any
time...The fate of the
masterpieces discussed in
this book remains a
mystery. Everyone knows
of Michelangelo's David
in Florence, but what
happened to the famous
bronze of the same
subject? It was last
heard of in a chateau in
France, after its
aristocratic owner went
to the guillotine.
Officials of the French
Revolution identified it
as worthy of inclusion in
the national museum, but
it has not been seen
since. And what of
Jacques-Louis David's
Lepeletier on his
death-bed, pendant to
his famous Death of
Marat? Nineteenth-century
gossip suggested that it
was burned by
Lepeletier's devoted
daughter, but if so,
how could it later have
been passed on in a
disputed will? And what
of the fate of David's
drawing of this
composition, which the
same daughter had kept
locked in a secret box?
The story of these works
and many more are traced
in minute detail,
bringing to life some of
the most famous art
collectors of all time,
such as Charles I, Queen
Christina of Sweden, and
Archduke Leopold Willem.
Hitherto obscure but no
less avid collectors are
introduced to the reader
for the first time, such
as the English barrister
Robert Roupell, no fewer
than seven of whose
paintings now adorn the
walls of the National
Gallery in London.
Missing Masterpieces is a
milestone in the history
of collecting - and
losing - great works of
art.
