The Waves Between
Author: James Midwinter
Publisher: Nhp Publishing
ISBN: 9789187815812
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
James Midwinter's work isn't necessarily about the act of surfing, but the time and space around it. It seeks to suggest rather than dictate. Midwinter attempts to conjure a sense of place and evoke an individual response. The viewer is invited to submit to the scene and step away from the distractions of modern life - observe, breath in and imagine themselves in this space, enveloped by the sounds of the rolling sea or the cool stillness. Midwinter's work aims to show us that surfing is a way to intensely be at one with nature and the book is a reflection of this philosophy, a communion with nature, often free from other aspects of human life. Waiting for a wave is a meditation.

Giovan Battista Moroni
Author: Simone Facchinetti
Publisher: Royal Academy Books
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Acclaimed by some as one of the best portraitists of all time, Italian painter Giovan Battista Moroni (1522-1579) created penetrating images of the aristoc-racy of Bergamo, in which the sitters often gaze at the spectator with an unflinching directness. Admired in Italy since the 16th century, when Titian is said to have praised his portraits, Moroni did not achieve an international reputation until the 19th century and remains relatively little known. This handsome catalog encompasses Moroni's entire career. It includes portraits of all formats and styles, demonstrating not just Moroni's brilliance at capturing the elegance of his sitters and the fashions of the time, but also his realistic representation of Bergamo's society, which became a model for Caravaggio. The volume also includes Moroni's religious paintings, which also incorporate highly accomplished likenesses of their patrons, once again showing the striking psychological insight for which Moroni is acclaimed. Arturo Galansino, curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, has also curated exhibitions for the Louvre and the National Gallery, London. Simone Facchinetti is curator at the Museo Diocesano in Bergamo.
