Название: Ton Of Holland ISBN: 9078964472 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789078964476 Издательство: ACC-distribution titles Рейтинг: Цена: 42340 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: This publication is a unique portrayal of the work of this contemporary artist. Ton of Holland employs two techniques in his work: first he paints on prepared linen, and then he creates the embroidery, applying flat stitch and sometimes adding pearls as a decorative element. These works are consciously genred as paintings rather than tapestries because the artist literally 'paints' with his needle and thread on prepared painter's linen instead of embroidery canvas.
This unique form of artistry renders his work highly exceptional within the international art world. Besides faturing reproductions of the work, the book also gives readers a window into the world of the artist's thoughts and feelings. Ton of Holland wants to share the way in which the creative process evolves, from both a mental and technical standpoint.
Sketches, ideas, inspirational sources, reverse sides of paintings, and magnificant details of the work are all used as aids to help readers gain more insight. They are not intended to explain everything, however, as there should still be enough left to the imagination. This book is particularly unique in terms of design, owing to the fact that the artist defined the overall visual aesthetics of the book in consultation with designer Dennis Koot.
The two essays in the book, which are designed as a kind of illuminated news trailer, provide an art historical vision of the work and a socio-cultural vision, particularly expanding on the significance and position of the work within the homosexual subculture.

Описание: Choosing a particular bicycle conveys an attitude and a way of life. For a young generation, bicycles have now replaced cars as the vehicles that best express its identity and this book shows why. Riding a bike is easy. Once someone can do it, they will never forget how. Riding a bike can be addictive--in the best cases for life. Understanding the subtleties of contemporary bicycle culture can be challenging. Like it or not, choosing to ride a particular bike--whether an old-fashioned city bicycle, a high-tech machine, a mountain bike, a touring bike, a fixie, or a beach cruiser--means being associated with a certain lifestyle. Velo--2nd Gear explores these diverse bicycle scenes and reveals their histories, relationships, and insightful details. Alongside its presentation of especially attractive and unusual bicycles, the book documents how riders' accessories and styles vary just as widely as the bikes' tires and other equipment. It explains how each scene cultivates its own distinct codes through the choice of certain jerseys, caps, or bags or by visiting specific events or key establishments. The examples in Velo--2nd Gear span the globe. Tours in traditional costumes and on historical paths in Belgium or Italy are not only appealing as athletic challenges, but also as adventures for cosmopolitan travelers. In urban centers at night, bicycle messengers hold races on city streets. Specialized bike boutiques focus on details such as customized paint jobs. Frame builders in Oregon, Paris, or southern Germany create highly coveted bikes tailored to individuals or in very limited editions with long waiting lists. Velo--2nd Gear makes abundantly clear that contemporary bicycle culture is more alive and well than ever before. The book celebrates its healthy, environmentally-friendly, discerning, and slightly obsessive scenes and their protagonists. It shows why, for a young generation, bicycles have now replaced cars as the vehicles that best express its identity.
