        Diana's World

        A journey through Art History

        by Claire Parizel, Vanessa Rosa

        Diana’s World is a children's book (8-12 years old) that tells the story of Diana, a little girl curious to learn more about the world around her. She is always with her dog Alice, a small, playful white poodle who loves to hunt mice. The two friends are helped by the story's narrator, who will allow them to enter new worlds inspired by art history. From the Italian Renaissance to Song China and 18th century Japan, they will discover things they never imagined… at their own risk. Each scene in the book is inspired by paintings and objects that actually exist.Ukiyo-e for Japan, meditative landscape paintings for China… To construct the images, the authors, who are also art historians, have worked with recent scientific research to give them a sensitive form. They have sought to translate the visual experience of each culture into each of the worlds Diana discovers. This book will be published in Brazil in December. It's the first of a series. We also created a multi language website for it, an instagram page, stickers and much more will soon be released.

        Vida y obra de Gustave Verbeek

        by Roberto Iglesias

        Gustave Verbeek between 1903-1905 drew “Loveking&Muffaroo” for 64 weeks, a strange weekly cut comic strip in the New York Herald where two nice characters from a fantasy world could be read up and down just by turning the pages From the newspaper. A comic strip that united the worlds of the thousand-year-old Ukiyo-e pictorial technique and the purest nonsense or non-sense literature with touches of Dadaism and Surrealism. This book proposes a journey through his life and work.   Gustave Verbeek entre 1903-1905 dibujó “Loveking&Muffaroo” durante 64 semanas, una extraña tira cómica de corte semanal en el New York Herald donde dos simpáticos personajes de un mundo de fantasía se podían leer al derecho y al revés con sólo rotar las páginas del diario.Una comic strip que unía los mundos de la milenaria técnica pictórica del Ukiyo-e y la más pura literatura sin sentido o non-sense con pinceladas de dadaísmo y surrealismo. Este libro propone un recorrido por su vida y obra.

        Double meaning

        La técnica del Yoge-e en la obra de Gustave Verbeek

        by Roberto Iglesias

        Gustave Verbeek, creating his comic strip “Loveking&Muffaroo” for the New York Herald between 1903-1905, relived what he had learned in his native Japan. For this he used the ancient Japanese technique of Joge-e, a derivation of the well-known Ukiyo-e, where the xylography or images engraved in wood could be seen and read with double meaning depending on whether it was turned to the right or the other way around as if it were an ambigram. All amalgamated with hints of dialogue with fine traces of nonsense or non-sense literature.   Gustave Verbeek al crear su tira cómica “Loveking & Muffaroo” para el New York Herald entre 1903-1905, revivió lo aprendido en su Japón natal. Para ello usó la milenaria técnica japonesa del Joge-e, una derivación del conocido Ukiyo-e, donde la xilografía o imágenes grabadas en madera se podían ver y leer con doble sentido según se gire al derecho o al revés como si fuera un ambigrama. Todo amalgamado con pizcas de diálogos con finos trazos de literatura sin sentido o non-sense.

        Sakura Boy

        by Nie Jun

        Set in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital, this love story incorporates elements of the classic Japanese ukiyo-e art style, while concealing all kinds of detailed references to the local culture in its brightly-colored backdrops. These thoughtful choices only serve to make the book feel even more warm and accessible to its readers. By a twist of fate, a young woman comes across a puppet in a Kyoto storefront, and plants a cherry blossom branch inside his empty heart. She does not yet know that this carefree gesture will inadvertently bring the puppet to life – and just like his new vitality, the puppet’s attachment to her only grows stronger and stronger. At the same time, however, the girl is falling in love with a mysterious boy who calls himself Poison… When a chance meeting becomes a destined encounter, will the girl’s love go to the silently blooming flower of hope, or the brilliant sun who already burned her once before? Love and death, youth and obsession, fantasies and gentle breezes…When love this pure happens in a place as romantic as the old capital of Kyoto, it’s as if to say, ‘There once was a love like this, flowering like the cherry blossoms; there once was person like this, who loved you more than life itself...’

        Sugoi! – Craft Treasures

        by Barbara Luel-Pecheur

        “What struck me the most, from my first trip to Japan, are the everyday objects. They are so different from the ones we can find home! They can be found everywhere: in the street, in restaurants, in train stations or stores ... And it is sometimes hard to understand what they are immediately. Some of them are made with love and after hours of work, by passionate and meticulous craftsmen.  With their amazing shapes, it is not always obvious to know what they can be used for. It is necessary to be interested more closely to Japanese culture to guess. They are like miniature monuments. Fascinated as I was, I wanted to collect them in my sketchbook. So, I brought them home with me.” For all the Far East lovers, the Japanese temples in Kyoto, the old traditional sliding-walled houses or museums Prints (ukiyo-e) are awesome places. But surprisingly what stood out the most the author of this book are everyday objects. During her numerous trips to Japan, Barbara Luel has gleaned all kinds of objects: for cooking, painting of her notebooks, decorations or to put on the table. This book presents around 80 handicrafts objects according to their use and their materials, all watercolor painted by Barbara. It evokes the different stages of the journeys and the region of origin of these objects across the main islands of the archipelago (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku). The author, urban-sketcher and responsible for the movement in Brussels, gives precious "tips" to all her readers, who would like to embark on travelogue.

        Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia

        by Edited by Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann and Michael North

        Scholars have extensively documented the historical and socioeconomic impact of the Dutch East India Company. They have paid much less attention to the company’s significant influence on Asian art and visual culture. Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia addresses this imbalance with a wide range of contributions covering such topics as Dutch and Chinese art in colonial and indigenous households; the rise of Hollandmania in Japan; and the Dutch painters who worked at the court of the Persian shahs. Together, the contributors shed new light on seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture“and the company that spread it across Asia.

        by Leslie Scalapino
