Summary:
Alors que les techniques d'impression numérique paraissent de plus en plus indispensables, de nombreux créateurs font le choix de revenir à des techniques plus traditionnelles, qu'ils remettent au goût du jour. Ainsi, au même titre que la sérigraphie il y a quelques années, la risographie fait un retour fracassant sur la scène créative mondiale. Cet ouvrage est une plongée dans l'univers de la "riso" et des techniques proches. Rappelant d'abord l'historique des techniques basées sur le pochoir et le duplicata, les auteurs font ensuite un focus sur la risographie et la miméographie. Les auteurs présentent les principaux studios de création utilisant actuellement ces techniques, de Londres à Tokyo en passant par Chicago et Paris. Ils mettent en avant des créateurs et des réalisations hors du commun tout au long d'une véritable galerie artistique. Enfin, ils guident pas à pas les lecteurs dans les étapes précédant l'impression (choix du papier, des couleurs, etc.) et leur livrent des conseils. A la fois livre d'inspiration, manuel technique et état des lieux d'un phénomène montant, Risomania est le premier titre français consacré au sujet !

Summary:
Today Renaissance-era prints are typically preserved behind glass or in solander boxes in museums, but these decorative objects were once a central part of everyday life. Altered and Adorned is a delightful, surprising look at how prints were used to create sewing patterns, affixed on walls, glued into albums and books, and in some instances even annotated, handcoloured, or cut apart. This volume introduces readers to the experimental world of printmaking in the mid-15th and 16th centuries and the array of objects it inspired, from illustrated books and sculptures to etched armour and printed sundials. It features many never-before-published treasures from the Art Institute of Chicago's rich permanent collection, along with essays on such topics as three-dimensional scientific prints and how famous paintings were reproduced on functional objects such as playing cards

Summary:
The history of posters is rich in variations on the hand. In consumer posters, a hand presents desirable products. But the hand can also take the form of a symbolically charged gesture in the political poster. In cultural posters, the hand then becomes the emblem of the creative individual.

Summary:
The history of posters is rich in variations on the hand. In consumer posters, a hand presents desirable products. But the hand can also take the form of a symbolically charged gesture in the political poster. In cultural posters, the hand then becomes the emblem of the creative individual. Just as versatile as the rhetoric of the hand are its diverse uses as a design element. In this volume, photographic, illustrative and abstract graphic images add up to a small cultural history of the hand as an eloquent conveyor of messages.

Summary:
Album covers, concert posters, flyers, fanzines, comics and photographs by Swiss graphic designers, musicians and photographers from the past 50 years of rock and pop history make The Swiss Art of Rock a terrific graphic design document and resource. Lurker Grand’s third and most recent book project in a trilogy published by Edition Patrick Frey, Die Not hat Ein Ende (Need Comes to an End) is packed with images and interwoven with texts on both musical and graphic history. Here the focus is not so much on a musical era and its protagonists as on the visualization of the subcultures. In addition to visualizing the music, much space is devoted to the history of the music itself. Music journalist, collector and curator Samuel Mumenthaler, co-author of this book, offers a detailed chronology of the development of rock music in Switzerland. Roland Fischbacher, Director of the Visual Communications Program at the Bern School for the Arts, and Robert Lzicar, design researcher and designer, discuss the roots of Swiss rock graphics. Additional essays cover international influences, montage and image construction, sampling, remix and craft. Also featured is an extensive artist index including works by contemporary greats from H. R. Geiger and Peter Fischli to R. Crumb and Roy Lichtenstein, plus an index of bands from Aerosmith to Frank Zappa. This is a pioneering work that no one in Switzerland has undertaken to date, making for a fascinating and comprehensive study of the aesthetics of an artistic avant-garde.
