AutumnWinter2015-16Asia

From Promopress Editions we are pleased to share with you our new selection of titles for the Autumn-Winter season. We are convinced this catalogue reflects our love for all things creative and states our conviction that beautiful, useful books, as physical objects, have a bright future ahead.

We are delighted to include Portraits, a collection of illustrations by Jorge Arévalo, among our forthcoming titles. With heaps of talent and subtle irony he captures the essence of what makes each of our interna-tional celebrities special and unique. You have already seen his work in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair or Rolling Stone, amongst others.

Equally evocative and inspiring, The Art of Sketching: 200 Years of Travel Notebooks explores the history of these intimate, priceless do-cuments through time. A hybrid between visual and textual creativity, the origins of the travel notebook go as far back as Leonardo Da Vinci, through artists such as Delacroix, Turner or Gauguin. This book shows the evolution in techniques, styles and perspectives in this fascinating and utterly contemporary sphere, from earlier travellers to today’s sketchers.

For our younger readers, but not exclusively, we are excited to offer you the third volume of our Animal Series: following A Wonderful World of Animals and Dinosaurs, My Beastly Activity Book, Sweet Monsters of the World is Victor Escandell’s new title, this time featuring the scariest monsters that have been terrifying humans of all cultures for thousands of years. Victor Escandell is an immensely talented and versatile artist and we are proud to have him among our authors.

Our extensive list of distributors ensures our books are available all over the world. We hope that you enjoy reading them as much as we en-joy making them. Come and meet us at www.promopresseditions.com

A gorgeous collection of delightful portraits of the people you love from the world of music, fashion and the movies by the artist you will recognize from Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Elle, Icon or Vogue. Burlesque and warm at the same time, Jorge Arévalo’s portraits always manage to convey the soul that hides behind the personality, thus revealing the genuine zeitgeist of our generation.

As if it were just yesterday I remember the impact Arevalo’s works had on me the first time I bumped into them in a bookshop. His simple strokes, his love of black and white in contrast with bright, primary colours and his subtle, delicate irony powerfully impressed me and I sat there with the book in my hands for a long while, flicking through, back and forth, back and forth. I hope you enjoy his works as much as I do!From the Introduction by Custo Dalmau, fashion designer

Throughout 100 pages full of imaginative illustrations and lavish patterns in-spired by natural motives, Hidden Nature will open the door to exploring our artistic side and re-awake that child inside us that still holds our creative imagination.

With its square format and excellent paper quality, the book allows for the use of a wide variety of materi-als, from simple crayons to water-colourable pencils or felt-tips that won’t show on the reverse. Hidden Nature has been crafted to provide hours of fun and relaxation for everyone, including the most amateur artist.

This book focuses on the latest creative card designs produced by innovative design studios and artists throughout the world. The ideas showcased in its three hundred pages range from handmade cards that elude conventional print-ing processes to the most avant-garde computer-de-signed offerings. The book shows the creative process-es and techniques used in each project and analyses the key elements of their success. You Don’t Want to Miss It is a great source of inspiration for those eager to break boundaries and go one step further with their creativity and imagination.

Art is Trash is the first book to showcase the work, philosophy and evolution of one of the most fascinating and brave artists in the street-art scene.

Street art is conquering the world. All over the globe, urban areas are home to pioneering creators and artistic communi-ties. Art is Trash, the nom de guerre for Francisco de Pájaro, has astounded not only passers-by in the streets of London, Barcelona and New York, but also gallery owners and art curators who are hungry for straightforward, instinctive and honest artists. His work speaks explicitly to the public, de-nouncing corruption and abuse of power, and also demanding our reaction. Art is Trash’s work

has been exhibited in renowned specialist galleries in London and Barcelona and Dubai.

However, most of Art is Trash’s work is ephemeral: he uses rub-bish bags, abandoned furniture and debris to create art that works as a mirror for those who see it, reflecting our boundless, desperate consumerism and our obsession with power. It disappears fast—sometimes as soon as it is finished. This book therefore fulfils the important task of collecting and recording the works and evolution of an artist who is surely on the cusp of transforming the street—and urban-art scenes on an interna-tional scale.

When fashion designers draw the human body they need to capture its movement and also take into account how it responds to fabrics and volumes. This book analyses the most useful techniques for drawing the human figure in the context of fashion design. It offers in-depth explanatory texts and illustrations that will help to nurture a full comprehension of this type of figure drawing. Fashion Drawing Course is divid-ed into two parts: the first sec-tion focuses on the himan body and the second one explores the drawing of clothes. 9 788415 967064

“espadrillas”, calzature con suola in corda. Tra i finissaggi riservati al coto-ne il più conosciuto è il mercerizzo, un procedimento a base di soda caustica, sotto forma d’idrossido e agenti imbi-benti, sperimentato intorno alla metà dell’800 dal chimico inglese John Mer-cer che può essere eseguito in filo e in pezza. Con questo trattamento la fibra elimina possibili irregolarità, acquista maggiore spessore, stabilità dimensio-nale ai successivi lavaggi, mantenendo i colori inalterati nel tempo. I filati e i tessuti di cotone di migliore qualità co-me il “makò” di produzione egiziana, assumono in modo naturale estrema brillantezza, migliore igroscopicità e affinità tintoriale e caratteristiche anal-lergiche, antibatteriche.In questi ultimi anni la moda delle grandi firme sembra aver scoperto il trend eco-compatibile del cotone bio-logico, frutto di coltivazioni che non impiegano pesticidi nella coltivazione delle specie botaniche.

Robusto e resistente, è il tessuto più utilizzato al mondo anche perché sop-porta trattamenti ad alte temperature ed è in grado di assicurare così una massima igiene. Ha superficie uguale sul diritto e sul rovescio realizzata con l’armatura base semplicissima (minimo intreccio dei fili d’ordito e di trama che si può impiegare nella fabbricazione di tessuti di qualsiasi fibra) con aspetto opaco, dovuto all’utilizzo di fibre cor-te di cellulosa, contenute nella capsu-la che racchiude il seme della pianta. Il suo utilizzo era noto nella valle del fiume Indo e fra gli Aztechi, mentre fu definito “Oro bianco” in un docu-mento egizio al tempo di Nabucodo-nosor. La fibra fu introdotta in Europa dagli Arabi (il termine “cotone” deriva dalla parola araba “katun”) mentre le successive conquiste coloniali diedero avvio a intense colture fin dal 1600 in Louisiana, incrementando il commer-cio degli schiavi con l’Africa. La mecca-nizzazione nella produzione del cotone ebbe un ruolo significativo nel secolo successivo durante Prima Rivoluzione Industriale. Tipologia tessile molto ver-satile, trova innumerevoli impieghi ed è la base ideale per effettuare una serie di successivi finissaggi per la creazione di tessuti più complessi, utilizzati sia in ambito moda sia in campi più ge-nerici come quello tecnico, sportivo e sanitario. Nell’abbigliamento la trovia-mo in tinta unita o stampata, in diversi pesi e consistenze, adatta a soddisfa-re sia la fantasia degli stilisti più ca-pricciosi sia le esigenze economiche dei mercati più concorrenziali. Sono realizzate in robusta tela di cotone le

hanno aspetto uniforme, caratteri-stica di freschezza e sono partico-larmente adatti a essere stampati o ricamati. Quelli di maggior peso hanno fili molto evidenti, che svol-gono un ruolo decorativo e presen-tano una superficie quasi irregolare. L‘utilizzo di questa tela è molto am-pio e spazia dalle camicie alla bian-cheria per la casa e ai complementi d’arredo, dagli abiti da donna e da bambino ai pantaloni e ai completi maschili più classici. La tela di li-no si tinge bene ed è quasi sempre disponibile in una vasta gamma di colorazioni. Essendo piuttosto com-patta e rigida si presta facilmente a essere ricamata a smerlo, a fili con-tati a motivi geometrici e a traforo.

Tessuto compatto, di mano morbi-da, realizzato con intreccio omo-nimo e superficie piana, uguale su entrambi i lati. Il nome “tela” deriva dal verbo latino “textere” (tessere) e anticamente veniva usato a indi-care in modo sottinteso proprio la tela di lino, già in uso presso gli antichi Egizi. È disponibile in sva-riati pesi secondo la finezza del fi-lato impiegato e la sua destinazione d’uso. I lini italiani e quelli irlandesi risultano i più adatti per l’estate. Quelli di peso più leggero possono presentare aspetto fitto e battuto, come la tela d’Olanda ed essere assimilati alla batista, oppure ave-re consistenza rada e trasparente e sembrare delle garze.

ba) forniscono un pelo che può rag-giungere i 37,5 cm di lunghezza,con un diametro variabile tra 20 e 120 micron, usato nell’industria tessile, ora sostituito, per i tessuti da interni, dato il costo troppo elevato. Il pelo di cammello ha un ruolo “formativo” permanente nella confezione, ne co-stituisce l’anima o meglio il fusto, da cui il termine di “infustare” un capo, caratterizzando quei particolari, appa-rentemente non visibili, che ne rendo-no diversa l’immagine esteriore. Que-sto tipo d’interfodera conferisce più morbidezza del crine e ha un’altezza maggiore.

Per lavoro di aguglieria s’intende l’intreccio a maglia realizzato con l’ausilio dei ferri, già praticato presso antiche popolazioni di area medio-orientale, come testimoniano i molti reperti sopravvissuti. Anche il verbo inglese knitting, evoluzione dell’an-glosassone ketten, deriverebbe dal termine sanscrito nahyat (tradotto come lavoro a maglia o rete a unci-netto). L’uso del lavoro ai ferri è inve-ce iconograficamente documentato solo nel 1400 da un’immagine di Ma-ria di Nazareth, intenta a sferruzzare una piccola tunica senza cuciture, ot-tenuta col sistema circolare a quattro ferri, raffigurata da Maestro Bertram, nella pala d’altare di Buxtehude in Germania, nota come La visita degli

Angeli. Manufatti a maglia rientra-vano neI guardaroba comune, con la sola differenza che calze in seta e fi-lati preziosi appartenevano alle classi agiate, mentre rustiche calze di lana erano indossate sotto gli zoccoli dai contadini. In Spagna sorse una del-le più importanti scuole per il lavoro a maglia, famosa soprattutto per la lavorazione dei guanti in seta e fili d’oro. Nonostante l’uso di moderne tecnologie la moda di oggi continua a valorizzare questa tecnica propo-nendo contemporanee soluzioni che intrigano con i loro originali giochi di micro e macro effetti traforati, con trecce in rilievo, motivi classici o et-nici provenienti dalle più disparate aree geografiche.

eng / At present my work reflects my personal view of the geographical narrative of Israel. The sources of visual inspiration that I find around me and that awaken new creative impulses in me are infinite. The geographical structure of this land has greatly changed and yet much of the history of the world is based on this new country that is constantly changing. Eduardo Chillida is a big influence on me—his extensive use of materials, the different scales of his work and especially his white white-on-white works cut from paper and his drawings. I like working with different materials. I started working with eighteen-carat gold for my collection of expensive handmade pieces. Then I started to create fashion jewellery for haute couture shows in Paris and expanded my range of materials. Today, in addition to gold, I like working with silver, molten metals and paper.

Son infinitas las fuentes de inspiración visual que encuentro a mi alrededor y que despiertan en mí nuevos impulsos creativos. La estructura geográfica de esta tierra ha cambiado enormemente y sin embargo, gran parte de la historia del mundo se asienta en este país nuevo y en constante transformación. Eduardo Chillida es una gran influencia para mí: su amplio uso de materiales, las distintas escalas de su trabajo y, especialmente, sus obras blanco sobre blanco a base de papel cortado y sus dibujos. Me gusta trabajar con distintos materiales. Empecé a trabajar con oro de 18 kilates para mi colección de valiosas piezas hechas a mano. Luego, comencé a crear joyería de moda para los desfiles de alta costura en París, y amplié mi abanico de materiales. hoy en día, además del oro, me gusta trabajar con plata, metales fundidos y papel.

Je dois beaucoup à Eduardo Chillida : son emploi de matériaux très variés, son travail dans différentes échelles et surtout ses œuvres en noir et blanc à base de papier découpé, ainsi que ses dessins. J’aime travailler avec différents matériaux. J’ai commencé avec de l’or à 18 carats pour ma collection de bijoux de prix faits à la main.
