Andy Singleton has been modelling and painting most of his life and has been a professional commission figure painter for some years now. Here he shares his experience and tips of the trade with those collecting Early Imperial Romans. The emphasis is on achievable results and practical advice that is applicable to painting units or whole armies for wargaming purposes in a reasonable time frame, not on spectacular individual display pieces. Most of the figures featured in the numerous illustrations are either 28 or 25mm but the techniques described are easily adaptable to smaller sizes and both plastic and metal figures are covered. Andy’s clear, step-by-step guidance takes the reader through the process from the initial preparation and assembly of the figure, to finishing and basing. Themed chapters cover armour, weapons and equipment, clothing, skin tones, shields and horses. All together it contains all the help you need to recreate your own legions of this most iconic army of ancient history. |

Un grido di dolore universale Ivan Cankar è sicuramente uno dei principali scrittori sloveni e, pure se ha rivolto la sua scrittura anche ad altri temi, ha sempre avuto un interesse particolare nel raccontare il destino di diseredati ed emarginati, il confitto di intellettuali o artisti anticonformisti e idealisti con una società gretta, presentando una scrittura intelligentemente calibrata di elementi realistici e simbolici. Rispetto a questo testo, è l’autore stesso che ce lo rivela, è interessante sottolineare l’origine ‘politica’ del testo: Cankar voleva scrivere solo un libello di propaganda, ma da ciò sarebbe poi scaturita la sua migliore novella, che narra del servo Jernej, che ha lavorato quarant’anni nella fattoria dei Sitar, identificandosi totalmente con essa. Alla morte del vecchio padrone viene mandato via in malo modo dal figlio del defunto. Inizia così il suo peregrinare, nel corso del quale racconta la propria storia a diverse persone e istanze, sempre attendendo che si riconosca il suo diritto: di chi è il podere, di chi l’ha ereditato senza aver fatto nulla o di chi l’ha lavorato per quarant’anni? Nessuno dà ragione al servo, che nella sua sete di giustizia giunge fino a Vienna, pensando ingenuamente di poter esporre il suo caso allo stesso imperatore. Neanche il parroco gli dà la risposta sperata, portandolo infine a dubitare anche della giustizia divina e della stessa esistenza di Dio. Il mite Jernej infine, ormai trasformato interiormente, torna alla fattoria e Cankar conclude il racconto con un finale straordinario. Anche se la storia del servo ribelle ha suscitato interesse in Italia soprattutto in momenti politicamente ‘nevralgici’ del Paese, il suo fascino senza tempo risiede certamente sia nel suo grido di dolore universale, sia nella peculiarità dello stile, ricco di similitudini e personificazioni, di allegorie e parabole ‘bibliche’, che insieme costituiscono forse l’esempio più brillante della prosa ritmica cankariana. L’autore : (Vrhnika 1876 - Lubiana 1918) scrittore sloveno. Patì il carcere (1913) e l’internamento (1914) per la sua propaganda antiaustriaca. Dopo che la sua raccolta poetica Erotica (1899) fu fatta bruciare dalle autorità ecclesiastiche, si dedicò alla prosa e al teatro e pubblicò, fra l’altro, Vignette (1899), schizzi di vita borghese e proletaria, il romanzo La casa di Maria Ausiliatrice (1904), il racconto Il servo Jernej e il suo diritto (1907), considerato il suo capolavoro, il dramma I servi (1910) e i bozzetti Immagini dai sogni (1915-17), ispirati dalla guerra. C. è il prosatore di maggior rilievo della generazione modernista: formatosi al naturalismo, ne superò le limitate scelte tematiche e ideologiche per affrontare non solo le questioni sociali e di costume fino allora ignorate dalla provinciale letteratura slovena, ma anche un’intensa problematica spirituale. |

Peu de temps avant sa mort, Claude Monet écrivait : « Je reste désolé d’avoir été la cause du nom donné à un groupe dont la plupart n’avait rien d’impressionniste. » Manet n’avait-il pas évoqué dans une formule définitive : « Je peins ce que je vois et non ce qu’il plaît aux autres de voir » ? L’auteur, Nathalia Brodskaïa, dégage les contradictions de cette fin du XIXe siècle à travers le paradoxe d’un groupe qui, tout en formant un ensemble cohérent, favorise l’affirmation des individualités artistiques. Entre l’art académique et le commencement de la peinture moderne non figurative, le chemin pour parvenir à la reconnaissance sera long. Nathalia Brodskaïa, après avoir analysé les éléments fondateurs du mouvement, poursuit à travers l’œuvre de chacun des artistes, la recherche « de cette conviction qu’ils avaient de la justesse dans leurs principes et de la valeur dans leur art ». De cette revendication à la différence est née la peinture moderne. |

L'impressionnisme figure parmi les mouvements artistiques les plus connus. Mais ce qui apparaît aujourd'hui comme une peinture de paysage charmante et exquise était en réalité l'un des premiers mouvements d'avant-garde dont les membres avaient décidé de combattre les valeurs de l'art traditionnel. Les peintures de plein air impressionnistes choquaient le public par la technique utilisée, mais aussi par leur apparente banalité. Alors que Monet, Sisley, Pissarro et bien d'autres cherchaient à capturer le caractère éphémère de la lumière, la génération suivante allait rejeter le Naturalisme. En effet, les postimpressionnistes tels que Gauguin, Van Gogh, Cézanne et Seurat privilégiaient le subjectif plutôt que l'objectif et l'éternel plutôt que le concret. Se faisant, ils ont posé les bases formelles de l'art moderne du XXe siècle. Cet ouvrage est un guide visuel à travers les moments cruciaux de l'histoire de l'art et la progression du XIXe siècle vers la modernité. |

Un hommage à BB, la plus célèbre des actrices françaises, un album-souvenir des années Bardot illustré de photos souvent peu connues du grand public. Le livre officiel de la grande exposition parisienne consacrée à Bardot à partir de la rentrée. Un hommage à BB, la plus célèbre des actrices françaises. Petite-fille de son siècle, Brigitte Bardot nous a appris plusieurs décennies durant, à aimer le cinéma, la grâce, la fraîcheur, la drôlerie, l'amour, l'engagement et la lutte. Avec, parfois, des excès mais aussi un débordement de franchise, d'honnêteté et d'inconscience qui la rendent attachante ou irritante. Brigitte Bardot a distillé des mots, régenté une mode, organisé un monde qui n'est plus, après son passage, le même qu'avant. Voilà déjà 36 ans, qu'un beau soir de l'année 1973, Bardot a décidé d'arrêter le cinéma et de ne plus jamais montrer sa tête face à une caméra. Il y a eu et il y aura, de toute éternité, sur la planète, "les années Bardot", prouvant que Brigitte n'a pas fait son temps mais bel et bien façonné toute une époque. Henry-Jean Servat rend hommage à la star de cinéma, à l'une des plus belles femmes de tous les temps, à celle dont tous les hommes ont rêvé. |

When we reflect on nature, or the history of humankind, or our own intellectual activity, the first picture presented to us is of an endless maze of relations and interactions, in which nothing remains the same. Everything moves, changes, comes into being and passes out of existence. Wht is nature? uses a special technique of overprinting images and texts onto existing sheets of book paper to create a singular reading experience that captures the perpetual unfolding of nature as both a thing and a property within our reality, which is always already a conceptualized reality.

I have debt, who doesn’t? Why is it that so many people have debt? And I don’t mean student loans or mortgages. I mean the kind of debt that is impossible to pay back, because these debts do not deal in currency: they deal in the elusive transactions that bind people to things, and things to a network of tendencies that strings together to form a semblance of a common good. Can these debts be forgiven? And what would it mean to forgive a debt that cannot be calculated? Through a layering of texts and images, Wht is some debt? tries—rather unsuccessfully but with gusto—to express the inexpressible nature of debt as the fundamental lack that binds the living to time and to each other. Wht is ? This series of handmade books and e-books made by Paul Chan uses a special technique of overprinting images and texts onto existing sheets of book paper to create works that read like nothing else. The series premiered at the 2011 NY Art Book Fair. Each handmade book exists as an edition of one with two artist proofs, and as an e-book with a unique ISBN available on Apple iBooks.

Intermediate and advanced art students receive a broad vocabulary of effects with this in-depth study of light. The guide offers detailed descriptions that start with the basics — the direction of light, reflections, and shadows — and advance to studies of light in natural and manipulated situations. Examinations of subtler light effects include foreshortening, field effects, multiple light sources, colored light, depicting the light source, and the behavior of light on shiny surfaces. Lavishly illustrated with diagrams and paintings, this volume applies its principles to figure, still life, and landscape paintings. Author Ted Seth Jacobs stresses the importance of comparing real-life vision to the canvas, since no system of rules can substitute for close and careful observation. Jacobs points out common errors, suggest light effects that artists should keep in mind, and discusses how preconceptions can be put aside in order to see the world more clearly. |

The final word in sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne shares his unbelievable story for the first time in this tell-all memoir. "They've said some crazy things about me over the years. I mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like, 'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn't perform until he'd killed fifteen puppies . . .' Now me , kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of the f**king things at home. I've killed a few cows in my time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in my house that night. It haunts me, all this crazy stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty f**king years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at f**king two miles per hour. People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. I've always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain't the devil . I'm just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time." |

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah |
