Springer Nature Switzerland AG Seeing Comics through Art History: Alternative
Book SynopsisThis book explores what the methodologies of Art History might offer Comics Studies, in terms of addressing overlooked aspects of aesthetics, form, materiality, perception and visual style. As well as considering what Art History proposes of comic scholarship, including the questioning of some of its deep-rooted categories and procedures, it also appraises what comics and Comics Studies afford and ask of Art History. This book draws together the work of international scholars applying art-historical methodologies to the study of a range of comic strips, books, cartoons, graphic novels and manga, who, as well as being researchers, are also educators, artists, designers, curators, producers, librarians, editors, and writers, with some undertaking practice-based research. Many are trained art historians, but others come from, have migrated into, or straddle other disciplines, such as Comparative Literature, American Literature, Cultural Studies, Visual Studies, and a range of subjects within Art & Design practice.Table of ContentsWays of Seeing Comics: Art-Historical Approaches to the Form.Part I Old Skool Art History.The Lives of the Artists.Connoisseurship, Attribution, and Comic Strip Art: The Case of Jack B.

Prestel Frida Kahlo: The Story of Her Life
Book SynopsisThe perfect subject for a graphic novel, Frida Kahlo's brief life was dramatic and romantic, tragic and painful. In this illustrated "biography", Vanna Vinci captures the spirit of Kahlo's world in boldly colored, minutely detailed illustrations. Blending facts and history with dreamlike and surreal sequences, Vinci creates an intimate portrayal of an artist who incorporated her life experiences into her art. Burning love and crushing loss, incredible joy and deep despair-these were all part of Kahlo's life and part of the paintings that are some of the most celebrated art of all time. Filled with images that populated Kahlo's work-monkeys and parrots, traditional clothing and lush gardens-Vinci imbues her text and drawings with an artist's perception and sensitivity. The result is an evocative, fittingly passionate tribute to a legendary figure.Trade Review"Prestel has just released Frida: The Story of Her Life, a graphic novel by Vanna Vinci that makes the perfect addition to the visual history of one of the most famous artists in the world. Here Vinci brings to life the beautiful and horrific moments of Kahlo’s life in a series of iconic scenes that integrate her country, her culture, and her passion into a great, tempestuous personality. The result is a portrait of the artist that complements the self-portraits that the world adores, giving us another look at the soul of a woman who continues to inspire and provoke." -Crave"This is an extraordinary way of presenting the story of the life of Frida Kahlo" -Her Campus

Prestel Francis Bacon Graphic Novel
Book SynopsisTold for the first time in graphic novel form, the story of Francis Bacon’s life is as complex, colorful, and highly charged as his paintings. Drawn in shades of mauve, red, yellow, and blue that distinguished his palette, these illustrations weave together a troubling but compassionate narrative, one that draws on the tragic events of Bacon’s childhood and youth, as well as reflecting the profoundly passionate yearnings of the artist he became. Separated into thematic and chronological sections the novel highlights the prevailing influences of Bacon’s life and times: his early autodidacticism and estrangement from his family; his struggles to make his way as a surrealist painter and his destruction of his early work. It traces his gradual success in postwar Europe, his powerful and often violent romantic relationships, his foray into portraiture, and his never-ending search for subject matter and meaning in his work. Alternating between full-page illustrations and smaller, captioned works, Portolano imagines not only the known details of Bacon’s biography, but also his inner life—the dreams, fears, and obsessions that were equally formidable underpinnings of his oeuvre. Woven together with historical facts and figures, this graphic novel reconstructs a life as only a cartoonist could—image led, thoughtfully composed, and deeply evocative of its subject matter.

Clara, su hija, tras comprender los acontecimientos del pasado de Europa y el resto de países, decidirá cuál es el verdadero sentido de su vida.El comportamiento individualizado de las personas, nuestros actos, nos llevarán de modo global a todos hacia un mismo destino. El que nosotros escojamos. El egoísmo y odio hacia la destrucción. El respeto y la empatía con lo que nos rodea, hacia una convivencia en armonía con el universo. Nuestro entorno.He aquí el hilo, el punto de partida de dos historias que quieren mostrarse cercanas al lector. Esta podría ser la ficción de un futuro, no muy lejano, que se une a otra historia ubicada en el pasado, llena de recuerdos de una época, una ciudad, una sociedad, y un bastidor de un artista…ambas historias avanzan simultáneamente. “Tal vez, al llegar al final, algo me sugiera o me dé una pista, entonces sentiré que es el momento de firmarla, no tocarla más y empezar otra nueva. Pero mientras no suceda así, mi mente busca entre los recuerdos. Trata de tejer un orden, encontrar un color, una armonía y un equilibrio para que todo se sostenga y de ese modo, uniéndolos unos a otros, completar la obra.” Marta Mañes.
