Mercatorfonds September 2013. Hardcover. Used - Very Good. In the years between 1890 and 1905 Paris witnessed a revolution in printmaking. Before this time prints had primarily served reproductive or political ends but as the century came to a close artistic quality became paramount and printmaking blossomed into an autonomous art form. This gorgeously illustrated and accessibly written book looks at the circumstances in which this terrific new enthusiasm for prints unfolded; the principal players in its development; and the various printmaking techniques being used. <BR> Most modern French artists experimented with lithographs etchings or woodcuts many of which were published in small editions intended for art connoisseurs and collectors. Their popularity however was not confined to these exclusive groups. Colorful prints designed by Pierre Bonnard Paul Gauguin Henri-Gabriel Ibels Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Edouard Vuillard among others were seen and admired all over Paris in the form of illustrated theater programs sheet music magazines books and street posters. <BR> Featuring highlights from the Van Gogh Museum which houses a superb collection of prints from fin-de-siecle Paris this enlightening volume shows how the most influential artists of the day turned their hands to making beautiful 'impressions'--prints that were works of art in themselves. 'No one pays attention nowadays to anything but prints; it's a rage the young generation produces nothing else.'--Camille Pissarro 1897 Very nice clean tight copy free of any marks.

Firenze: Gruppo Editoriale Giunti 2005. Firenze 2005; br. pp. 192 ill. cm 20x23. Il dominio dell'Occidente sul resto del mondo non � solo una conquista militare n� una supremazia economica o tecnologica. � accompagnato dalla convinzione di appartenere a una civilt� che per dinamismo forza e progresso si � posta al vertice della storia. Questo libro illustrato racconta la storia e le vicende della collaborazione del mondo ad opera delle potenze europee dal '500 alla fine dell'800. Ripercorre quindi la storia dell'Europa fuori dalla stessa Europa prendendo in esame le trasformazioni economiche sociali culturali cui ha dato luogo quell'incontro-scontro tra civilt� che fin dal 1492 ha riunito nell'idea dell'occidentalizzazione popoli e culture di ogni parte del mondo.

Roma: Cavallo di Ferro 2009. Traduzione di D. Di Pasquale. Roma 2009; br. pp. 240 cm 14x21. A Bisacquino un luogo sperduto nelle montagne siciliane sono nati due uomini che ognuno a suo modo hanno segnato la storia del Novecento: Frank "Francesco" Capra e don Vito Cascio Ferro. Il primo ha inventato il cinema che ha tatto sognare e commuovere intere generazioni "un'ispirazione per chi crede nel Sogno americano" disse di lui John Ford; il secondo � il fondatore di Cosa Nostra colui che invent� il sistema delle estorsioni u'pizzu e che colleg� la Mano nera americana alla Mafia siciliana. I loro destini si incrociarono casualmente quando a Frank Capra giovane immigrato squattrinato la Mafia propose una vantaggiosa collaborazione. Negli stessi anni a New York ci fu un altro grande italiano minacciato dalla criminalit� italoamericana: Enrico Caruso il pi� grande tenore di tutti i tempi l'uomo che dalla Mafia venne protetto e salvato dall'italiano pi� coraggioso e incorruttibile dell'epoca: il poliziotto Joe Petrosino che contro il crimine organizzato si batter� senza paura fino alla morte. Le vite di questi quattro italiani personaggi famosi della Storia si intersecano sullo sfondo della societ� americana di quegli anni dove sogno e orrore si scontrarono a tal punto da ispirare valanghe di letteratura e di grande cinema.
