Summary : El color informa, seduce, narra, ordena, camufla... «Para comprender el color debemos escuchar la voz de filósofos y tintoreros, biólogos y artistas,escritores y empresarios, físicos y astrólogos, y también vendedores, pasteleros y otros.» RICCARDO FALCINELLI ¿Por qué Mondrian nunca emplea el verde y Hitchcock lo usa en abundancia? ¿Por qué tienen más éxito los lápices amarillos? ¿Por qué Flaubert viste de azul a madame Bovary? Aunque nos parezca obvio, hablar de colores planos o considerar el azul un color frío son invenciones muy recientes. Tal vez no nos demos cuenta, pero incluso cuando estamos ante un cuadro renacentista, tenemos en mente el amarillo de los Simpson. Quien conoce el color de la televisión ya no puede ver el mundo con los ojos del pasado. Las historias y ejemplos que recoge Cromorama nos descubren hasta qué punto el color es un filtro con el que contemplamos la realidad. En un libro tan colorido como divertido, que es también una "historia de nuestra mirada moderna y de cómo se ha formado", Falcinelli recorre un fascinante universo de imágenes procedentes de la pintura, la literatura, el cine, los cómics y los objetos cotidianos, que se nos muestran de un modo inusual y sorprendente. Todas las sociedades han construido sistemas simbólicos en los que el color desempeñaba un papel central -el negro para el luto, el rojo para el comunismo, el azul del manto de la Virgen-, pero la tecnología y el mercado nos han acostumbrado a nuevas percepciones y han modificado nuestro modo de ver el mundo. La crítica ha dicho «Un libro hermoso, particular. Falcinelli ha logrado escribir un libro sobre los colores que cubre los aspectos técnicos sin abandonar diversión que rara vez sucede. Un milagro.» Corrado Augias «De una belleza deslumbrante. Un objeto que desencadena el deseo, lleno de encantadoras imágenes.» Elena Stancanelli, La Repubblica

Author : Luis Bunuel
Genre : Biography & Autobiography

Summary : A provocative memoir from Luis Buñuel, the Academy Award winning creator of some of modern cinema's most important films, from Un Chien Andalou to The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Luis Buñuel’s films have the power to shock, inspire, and reinvent our world. Now, in a memoir that carries all the surrealism and subversion of his cinema, Buñuel turns his artistic gaze inward. In swift and generous prose, Buñuel traces the surprising contours of his life, from the Good Friday drumbeats of his childhood to the dreams that inspired his most famous films to his turbulent friendships with Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí. His personal narratives also encompass the pressing political issues of his time, many of which still haunt us today—the specter of fascism, the culture wars, the nuclear bomb. Filled with film trivia, framed by Buñuel’s intellect and wit, this is essential reading for fans of cinema and for anyone who has ever wanted to see the world through a surrealist’s eyes.

Summary : The Italian colour bible: a gorgeously illustrated exploration of colour and the modern gaze, from an award-winning designer 'Fresh and exciting, like an unopened packet of coloured pencils. Countless thought-provoking facts to ponder over, beautifully written' Coralie Bickford-Smith, author of The Fox and the Star Why are pencils yellow and white goods white? Why is black the colour of mourning? What connects Queen Victoria's mauve gown and Michelle Obama's yellow dress? In Chromorama, acclaimed graphic designer Riccardo Falcinelli delves deep into the history of colour to show how it has shaped the modern gaze. With over four hundred illustrations throughout and with examples ranging widely across art and culture - from the novels of Gustave Flaubert to The Simpsons, from Byzantine jewellery to misshapen fruit, from Mondrian to Hitchcock's thrillers - Falcinelli traces the evolution of our long relationship with colour, and how first the industrial revolution, and then the dawn of the internet age, changed it forever. Beautifully designed, deeply researched, and written with warmth and wit, Chromoroma is an engrossing account of shade and light, of tone and hue, of dyes, pigments, and pixels. It is the story of why we now see the world the way we do.
