Mary Cassatt: drawings. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Josh Parker   -  Josh Parker, 2015  - 

Mary Cassatt was an American impressionist who depicted the life of women, essentially the intimate bond between mother and child. In Europe, Cassatt’s paintings were better received that in United States. She exhibited every year at the Paris Salon until 1877, when all her works were rejected. Distraught at her rejection, she turned to the Impressionists, who welcomed her with welcome arms. Deciding early in her career that marriage was not an option, Cassatt never married. As her career progressed, her critical reputation grew, and she was often considered, along with Degas, as the one of the best exhibitors at the Impressionist Salon. She was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1906 and is known for superior draftsmanship in all the media, notably pastel.

Tiziano Vecellio: drawings. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Josh Parker   -  Josh Parker, 2015  - 

Tiziano Vecellio (known as Titian) was the greatest representative of the Venetian School and he was recognized as a genius in his own time. He has been an inspiration to artists like Rubens, Velazquez, Poussin and many others. In Italy, the woodcut was taken into new land by Titian. He never attempted engraving, but was very aware of the significance of printmaking as a capital of further expanding his own reputation. Titian drew directly on the block, and the cutter followed his characters as closely. Drawings by Titian are extremely rare. Known in his paintings for exploring the effects of light, Titian showed that he could achieve similar effects simply by line. His concern for detail suggests the light, space, and diversity of forms. Unfortunately, there are survived only thirty-five to forty known drawings by Titian, though he was a prolific painter.
