A History of modern design in Belgium, anglais

Sinopsis del Libro

This book explores the relation between modern design and the Belgian State. The ideology of modern design was closely linked to the utopian attempt of improving the everyday material world. Modernists had the universal belief that everyday spaces and objects affected their users in such a way that design practice could be a kind of political and social reform, or even a moral education. Modern design was however not only invested with these social aspirations, but knew also succes in political circles as an exponent for ideological positions, as a tool for political propaganda or as a marker of national identities. Also the Belgian state mobilized the universal idea of modern design to construct a positive national image for cultural, economic and diplomatic purposes. The famous Expo 58 with its iconic Atomium in Brussels are great examples of this engagement of the state with design to convey a sense of modernity. This book looks beyond the typical Belgian icons and shows how design was framed in economic and political debates in Belgium from the mid 19th century until the 1980s. Exhibition: ADAM Art & Design Atomium Museum, Brussels, Belgium (23.06.2017 - 01.09.2017).

José Guadalupe Posada Y la Hoja Volante Mexicana

These powerful and visually arresting newspaper illustrations and woodcut broadsides whose subjects range from news to religion, from corridos (escapades of bandits and heroes) to calveras (skeletal figures associated with the Day of the Dead)reflect indigenous folk-art traditions. In his graphically powerful penny handbills, Posada responded to the political and social issues of his day, addressed cultural ills, and spread moral ideas. Focusing on the Art Institute of Chicago's impressive and previously unpublished collection of prints by Posada, this book examines his work and places it in...

Cuando nadie mira

Un viaje íntimo a las entrañas de una joven creadora que siente y entiende lo real desde el prisma de su peculiar sensibilidad. Y mientras reivindica una historia que poder vivir desde el principio hasta el final, va entendiendo que las declaraciones de amor más valiosas no se pregonan sino que se hacen en silencio; que la vida es más sencilla cuando uno tan solo se deja fluir; y que sí, definitivamente, hay que permitirse el lujo de vivir sin los ojos cerrados.
