Laurence King Publishing The Artist Box: Frida Kahlo
Explore Frida Kahlo's art, life and home in this interactive artist's box, featuring twenty-four activity cards, a 150-piece jigsaw, a concertina fold-out and an iron-on patch. You might know that a streetcar crash set Frida Kahlo on a path to becoming an artist, but did you know that she first wanted to study medicine? Also that she had macaws, parakeets, a fawn and monkeys as pets? Or that she and Diego Rivera had a bridge that linked their two houses? Step into Frida Kahlo's world and learn about her fascinating work and life through engaging and fun activities. In her words: 'Keep on working, continue painting, don't ever stop singing.' The Artist Box: Frida Kahlo contains twenty-four activity cards with illustrations by Manjit Thapp and text by Susannah Jowitt. Fashion your own Frida flower pot, create a family tree inspired by her art and customize your clothes and accessories in her signature style. The large, fourteen-panel concertina features fantastic facts about Frida, a detailed timeline with quotes from her and others, and a trail of the important locations in her life. Piece together the 150-piece jigsaw puzzle of Frida's studio in her Casa Azul home, and spot five of her paintings, two of her lovers and seven of her pets. Make a style statement by ironing Frida's patch onto your favourite tote bag, shirt or jacket. The second in Gift Lab's Artist Box series celebrates living boldly like Frida!
OTTO The Artist Gesamtausgabe / Anna Haifisch, Gesamtausgabe, X
Ein vogelartiges Geschöpf bewegt sich mehr oder weniger erfolglos in der Kunstwelt und träumt davon, eines Tages ein großer Künstler zu sein. Allerdings wird es immer wieder mit Rückschlägen konfrontiert – quälende Selbst- zweifel sind die unausweichliche Folge... Anna Haifischs Porträt des Kunstbetriebs ist satirisch pointiert und zugleich schonungslos menschlich. Klar, dass sich das am besten mit Tierfiguren erzählen lässt. Liebevoll nimmt Anna Haifisch sich der Zumutungen, Peinlichkeiten und Ängste der Künstlerexistenz an – und macht Comics daraus, über die man lachen kann, die einen aber auch anrühren. Mit sparsamer, dabei äußerst präziser Linien- führung verleiht Anna Haifisch ihren sprechenden Tierfiguren Eleganz und Zartheit. Zusammen mit den klaren Farben wird THE ARTIST zu einem optischen Genuss. Diese Neuaugabe enthält die beiden Bände THE ARTIST und THE ARTIST: DER SCHNABELPRINZ.
