	[FERRARI, LEÓN]. León Ferrari: Obras = Works 1976 - 2008. México, D.F., Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes; Museo de Arte Alvar y Carmen T. de Carrillo Gil; Editorial RM, 2008, 141p b/w and color plates, ind., bio., cat., endpaper, illus., pict. boards 28x21.5cm ISBN: 9789708020862 (Inba);9789685208901 (RM); 9788492480241 (RM Verlag). As poetic as he is controversial, the renowned Argentinean Conceptualist León Ferrari (who was forced to live in exile in Brazil from 1976 to 1991, and who won a Golden Lion award at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007) is known for his fierce criticism of power and religion--both as an artist and as a journalist. This first major retrospective monograph brings together a selection of heliographs, drawings and collages which fiercely criticize Argentinean dictatorship, conservative religion and American authority--among many other heavily loaded subjects. It also features a selection of recent works, produced between 2004 and 2008, which include his well-known polyurethane sculptures. Throughout, Ferrari's work shuns quiet, undisturbed or serene contemplation, instead loudly joining denouncement with beauty, bliss with anguish, joy with fury. With scholarly essays by distinguished experts, an in-depth interview and a selection of texts by Ferrari himself. ENGLISH AND SPANISH TEXTS. Este catálogo muestra la obra plástica de Léon Ferrari de 1976 a 2008. En su propuesta plástica controversial, se encuentra un discurso severo y a la vez humorístico sobre la ideología occidental, la religión, la violencia y la represión de la libertad de expresión.

(46),(20),(96),(36)p b/w plates, illus., draws., facs., bibl., duo tone wrps., string bound b/w pict wrps, inserted in double side cardboard frame with draws and silk ribbons inside translucent box in box 29 x 26 x 3 cm ISBN: 8531409217 (EDUSP); 8570604092 (Imprensa Oficial do Estado). Deluxe edition kit that includes facsimile reproductions with a Portuguese translation of the publications "Légendes, croyances et talismans des Indiens de l'Amazone" and "Quelques Visages de Paris" edited in France between 1923 and 1925 by Rego Monteiro (b. Brazil 1889-1970) and considered bibliographic jewels of Latin America Modernism. The first book illustrated in a mixture of Marajo culture motifs and Japanese orientalism aesthetically celebrates the Amazonian Indians Tapuia and Tupi cosmogony legends and beliefs. The other reproduced book is a parody of the old European travelers who came to Brazil and where Rego Monteiro sarcastically describes and reproduces the main tourist points of the light city of Paris: the Eiffel tower ("They are the rubbles of the tower of Babel"), the Trocadero ("It was with the biggest squeeze in the heart that I saw my ancestral in strange positions"), the arc of the Triumph, among others. The primitivism geometric drawings of Rego Monteiro are a mixture of Art Déco and Marajo motifs. FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE TEXT. LIMITED EDITION OF 1000.Do Amazonas a Paris reproduz em edição fac-similar, acompanhada de tradução para o português, duas raras criações de Vicente do Rego Monteiro editadas em francês em Paris: Légendes, croyances et talismans des Indiens de l’Amazone e Quelques visages de Paris, respectivamente em 1923 e 1925. Estes dois livros de artista representam alguns dos mais belos exemplos bibliográficos produzidos pelas vanguardas latino-americanas. Inspirado na originalidade da estética marajoara e, paradoxalmente, no orientalismo japonês, Rego Monteiro volta-se para suas raízes, mostrando, em Légendes..., seu indianismo de vanguarda em imagens figurativas de indígenas, pintadas em seda. Em Quelques..., Paris é retratada em 10 desenhos de traço estilizado que, além da influência indígena, mostram elementos de um art déco geométrico. A publicação dessas duas obras acondicionadas em embalagem especial traz ao grande público a possibilidade de conhecer uma parte da rica produção de vanguarda brasileira.

	[ROJO, VICENTE]. ULLÁN, JOSÉ-MIGUEL. Tardes de Lluvia. José-Miguel Ullán (poema), Vicente Rojo (aguafuertes y serigrafías) México, D.F, Intaglio, 1991, 8 fldg. folios loose as issued, color plates, illus, sigs., plus 7 tipped-in color prints (aquaforte and serigraphy), in color pict. fldg. wrps., inside fine custom assembled wood box with leather straps 51 x 38 x 9 cm (box) LIMITED AND NUMBERED TOTAL EDITION OF 90 COPIES. This issue is one of two limited and numbered edition titled PE, signed by Vicente Rojo and José M. Ullán. Artist book, numbered and signed containing a collaboration editorial project where author José-Miguel Ullán presents his poems beautifully illustrated by artist Vicente Rojo with a series of acquaforte and serigraphy prints. The book was publisher by Intaglio in charge of Isaac Masri and Elias Fasja, the prints were engraved in metallic plaques in the workshop Ciento Ochenta Grados, Editores, and the part that includes the serigraphy part and edition was done in Ediciones Multiarte, under the technical direction of Cottane. 1991 Grabados y serigrafías para la carpeta Tardes de lluvia, poemas de José-Miguel Ullán. Ilustraciones del libro para niños Paleta de diez colores, poemas de Fernando del Paso. Recibe el Premio Nacional de Artes y el Premio México de Diseño. Vicente Rojo nace en Barcelona, España en 1932 y desde 1949 (D. 2003) se establece en México, en donde ha realizado una importante labor tanto en el campo del diseño gráfico, como en el de la pintura. Ingresa a El Colegio Nacional en 1994 y en 1998 recibe el Doctorado honoris causa por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Su primera exposición individual es en época a la cual pertenece su primera serie, "Señales", en donde trabaja con formas sencillas como triángulos y círculos. A esta serie le siguieron "Negaciones", "Recuerdos" y "México bajo la lluvia", serie que comienza en los años ochenta. "Escenarios" es la serie que ha venido realizando en la década de los noventa y la conforman sub series como "Paseo de San Juan", "Pirámides y volcanes", "Códices abiertos" y "Códices y espejos enterrados", a la cual pertenece su exposición "Escenarios secretos". El desarrollo musical, que reaparece en varios 1ibros compartidos, quizá se hace más evidente en Tardes de lluvia (1991), con José-Miguel Ullán, en el que verso por verso el poema manuscrito se tiende como una línea melódica en lo alto de cada página, en cuyo campo, nuevamente a modo de armonización, Rojo extiende una obra gráfica, un acorde. Y ése es el nombre que lleva el primer libro que realizara con Ullán: Acorde (1979/1982), libro de artistas, así, en plural, donde ambos juegan a la topología a partir de un espléndido poema serial y visual al que Rojo responde con acordes complementarios, papeles recortados y doblados, y con dos aguafuertes iluminados a mano. En ocasiones posteriores, Vicente Rojo se ha sujetado a formatos más tradicionales: carpetas de serigrafía, libros con grabados sueltos o la edición de un grabado único (Bocas de fuego, con extractos de un texto de Joseph de Acosta). Al igual que su obra pictórica, sus carpetas de grabados se alinean en series, que abarcan desde la muy notable "México bajo la lluvia", de la que derivaron dos Lluvias, con Alvaro Mutis y David Huerta, hasta la colección creciente de los "Volcanes", con textos de José Emilio Pacheco, Andrés Sánchez Robayna, Alberto Blanco, Bárbara Jacobs, Francisco Serrano y Olvido García Valdés, entre otros, y "Paseo de San Juan", con Enrique Vila-Matas y Juan Villoro; con este último realizó también Tiempo líquido. Estas colaboraciones, que desde luego sellan el gusto y la amistad literaria del artista, demuestran cómo indaga en los signos: las series parecen aludir a las articulaciones del lenguaje escrito, como si entre el objeto textual y el visual hubiese una isotopía o línea de significación sondeable. Ocurre en especial con los textos poéticos -y pienso- en Prosa del Popocatépetl, con Francisco Serrano, donde el texto generado mediante fuertes frases recortadas, cadenciosas, que se precipitan formando un amplio triángulo tipográfico en la página, corresponde a los grabados que ostentan largas lenguas del volcán que entra en erupción ,texto e imagen se hacen lenguas de fuego; pienso también en Cuatro volcanes iluminados, con Coral Bracho, donde a partir de círculos y líneas Rojo establece redes de equilibro y cromatismo de imprevisibilidad semejante alas imágenes poéticas de Bracho que abren juego visual de la carpeta. Y así como puede imaginarse la interpretación musical de las seudo-notaciones que Rojo. Born in Barcelona, 1932, he studied Ceramics and Sculpture in Spain. In 1949 he moved to Mexico, and continued his art studies at La Esmeralda, Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado in Mexico. He was member of the group of Mexican plastic artists who departed from the Mexican School of Painting known as the Ruptura, whose principal leaders were Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Vicente Rojo has been recognized as the most remarkable designer for the most important cultural magazines of Mexico, such as the Bellas Artes Magazine from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), and Artes de México. In 1991 he was awarded the Premio Nacional de Arte and the Mexico Prize, for design. In 1993 he was entitled as Emeritus Creator by the Sistema Nacional de Creadores and was awarded the Golden Medal to the Mérito de Bellas Artes in Spain. In 1998, he was designated Member of El Colegio Nacional, and entitled as Doctor Honoris Causa by the UNAM. The paintings of Vicente Rojo are essentially abstract, but with the sensibility and the discipline of his graphic technique. Mexico bajo la lluvia is perhaps the most beautiful series of his works USD 4000.00 [Appr.: EURO 2668.25 \| £UK 2404 \| JP¥ 353030] Book number: 89421 Click here to order or inquire at Howard Karno Books, Inc.
