Adolph Menzel: 185 colour plates. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Maria Peitcheva - Publisher S22302, 2016 -
Adolph Friedrich Erdmann von Menzel (1815 – 1905) was a German artist noted for drawings, etchings, and paintings. Along with Caspar David Friedrich, he is considered one of the two most prominent German artists of the 19th century, and was the most successful artist of his era in Germany. His popularity in his native country, owing especially to History Painting, was such that few of his major paintings left Germany, as many were quickly acquired by museums in Berlin. Menzel's graphic works and drawings were more widely disseminated; these, along with informal paintings not initially intended for display, have largely accounted for his posthumous reputation.The paintings which were available to the public garnered recognition not only within Germany, but from the French avant-garde as well: Edgar Degas admired and copied his work, calling him "the greatest living master".
Gustav Klimt: 215 plates. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Maria Peitcheva - Publisher S22302, 2015 -
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter, whose primary subject was the female body. His paintings, murals, and sketches are marked by a sensual eroticism, which is especially apparent in his pencil drawings. He was Vienna's most famous advocator of Art Nouveau, or, as the style was identified in Germany, "youth style". He is remembered as one of the famous decorative artists of the 20 century, and he also created one of the century's most important examples of erotic art. Primarily flourishing as a conservative academic painter, his run into with more modern trends in European art encouraged him to build up his own free and frequently out of this world style. His place as the co-founder and first president of the Vienna Secession also ensured that this style would become broadly prominent - though Klimt's direct authority on other artists was partial. While some critics and historians contend that Klimt's work should not be incorporated in the canon of modern art, his work - particularly his paintings after 1900 - remains striking for its visual combinations of the old and the modern, the real and the abstract. Klimt shaped his greatest work during a time of change and radical ideas, and these traits are clearly marked in his paintings.
Hokusai: 36 Views of Mount Fuji. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Hokusai - Publisher S22302, 2019 -
The Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji is a series of forty-six prints created by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and published between 1831 and 1833. They represent Mount Fuji from different locations, depending on the season. This series is now very famous because it marks the integration into the themes of the Japanese tradition (the oldest of the many artistic representations of Mount Fuji seems to date from the 11th century) of Western modes of representation, and in particular the perspective used in Western painting. Mount Fuji had already appeared several times in Hokusai's work, such as in an 1805 Surimono between flowering cherry trees. Around 1830, Hokusai probably contacted the publisher Nishimuraya Yoachi to submit his project to him to engrave a series of large landscape prints on this unique theme. Ten prints were first published, including The Great Wave of Kanagawa, The Fuji in Clear Weather and The Storm Under the Summit often considered the three most famous Japanese prints and immediately successful.
