BELLAS ARTES

Esta es la historia de un niño con sobrepeso y acné que se despertaba de madrugada para ver películas. Esta también es la historia del padre de ese niño, propietario de videoclubs, coleccionista de VHS y el hombre que pensaba que la mejor educación para su hijo era el cine. Esta es la historia de cómo el cine puede cambiar nuestras vidas y hacerlas mejores. Jaume Ripoll, cofundador de Filmin -una de las plataformas de cine más prestigiosas de los últimos tiempos- nos relata en este libro su historia de amor incondicional con el séptimo arte. De su mano, volveremos a los videoclubs de barrio en un recorrido nostálgico y fascinante lleno de anécdotas y recomendaciones que nos harán (re)descubrir y recuperar las obras imprescindibles que marcaron varias generaciones. «He hecho un viaje de espectador a distribuidor, del placer al trabajo, y ahora escribo este libro con la esperanza de que restaure parte de la ilusión perdida y permita al lector descubrir y recuperar obras que posiblemente han significado tanto en su vida como lo han hecho en la mía. Al fin y al cabo, el cine es una experiencia solitaria que se disfruta en compañía».

Viena combina drama y elegancia como pocas ciudades. Majestuosa y sinónimo para muchos de suntuosos palacios y grandeza imperial, la urbe a orillas del Danubio fue durante siglos el corazón del Imperio austrohúngaro. Pero más allá de la exuberancia del barroco, Viena es también una de la capitales de la refinada cultura de café y de la tradición epicúrea, y atesora al mismo tiempo un patrimonio de música, arte y diseño vanguardista y exquisito que va de Johan Strauss a Egon Schiele, de Gustav Mahler a Josef Hoffmann.Vienna, Portrait of a City es un tesoro compuesto por fotografías de los últimos 175 años que repasan la evolución de la ciudad, desde que fuera capital imperial hasta convertirse en metrópolis moderna. Un paseo visual por el tiempo y el paisaje urbano con cientos de imágenes seleccionadas cuidadosamente que muestran el desarrollo arquitectónico de Viena y de las tendencias culturales e históricas que en ella se reflejan, ya sea la Ringstraße, una Gesamtkunstwerk (obra de arte total) urbana del siglo XIX, o los experimentos de la ?Viena Roja? en la década de 1920, cuando la ciudad tuvo un gobierno socialdemócrata por primera vez.

Over the past three decades, Vincent Van Duysen has become an important force in design through his expressive architecture and serene interiors. This book documents the source of his inspirations and ongoing laboratory: his own homes. Vincent Van Duysen has had an outsized influence on the world of architecture and design, from the rarefied echelons of interiors to highly successful collections for Zara Home and a nearly decade-long creative directorship of Molteni&C. Through his spare use of pure and tactile materials, Van Duysen employs a unique stylistic language that is both monastic and sensual, brutal and elegant, primal and refined. His commissions have included product design for numerous international brands, and commercial and large-scale architectural projects, among them high-end residences, a hotel, and retail spaces.
