Light, Shade and Shadow
Without shading, even a beautiful drawing can appear flat. But artists can learn to add dimension to their work with these techniques, illustrations, and exercises that show how to achieve effects with light and shadow.
Light and Shade [Light, Shade and Shadow]
2023 Reprint of the 1914 Edition. Originally published as Light and Shade: Prepared Especially for Home Study. Also reprinted as Light, Shade and Shadow. Even the most beautiful drawing can appear flat without shading. But with this expert guide, every artist can learn how to use shadow to add visual dimension and drama to their work, and to master techniques such as highlighting and gradation. Beginning with the basics--casting light on simple geometric shapes--and progressing to the human figure, these step-by-step techniques, illustrations, and exercises can show artists of all abilities how to achieve a new level of depth in their work. During the first half of the twentieth century E. L Koller wrote a series of art instruction books for home study, designed to simplify various techniques for beginning artists and help established artists polish their craft. These manuals continue to serve as valuable guides to artists.
Life Drawing
The human figure, with its myriad curves and contours, can be challenging for anyone to draw. In this invaluable reference, well-known art instructor and author E. L. Koller simplifies the process, making it easy for artists to learn new methods of rendering the figure—in action and repose—with accuracy and style. Using figure-drawing exercises, numerous photos, and illustrations, Koller reduces the task at hand into manageable steps for intermediate and advanced artists. Beginning with drawing basics, this step-by-step guide explores the structure of the human figure and the comparative proportions of child and adult figures, showing how to depict individual parts of the head and body, facial expressions, and gestures. It also shows the merits of sketching from memory; drawing from casts, photographs, and living models; and sketching both undraped and costumed figures. Once the still figure is mastered, the artist can explore the more challenging action poses, including walking, running, and catching. Filled with guidance and insight on the human form, Life Drawing is an essential addition to every artist's reference shelf.
Július Koller
La exposición presenta el trabajo del artista eslovaco, documentando su contribución independiente a la vanguardia tras una investigación exhaustiva de su obra y sus archivos. La obra de Koller se desarrolló a una distancia crítica de las autoridades comunistas, cuestionando al mismo tiempo la tradición modernista y las convenciones del negocio del arte en Occidente. Desde mediados de los sesenta, diseñó anti happenings y antipinturas, creando una obra irónica que combinaba el espíritu dadaísta con un escepticismo radical. Pintó imágenes-objeto en látex blanco y pinturas sobre cuestiones clave que se convirtieron en símbolos universales de sus puntos de vista críticos acerca de la vida y la realidad cotidianas. Koller veía el tenis y el pimpón como formas de arte participativo y en este caso combinaba el deporte con la posición política, reivindicando la unión de las reglas del juego con las de la justicia como base para toda acción social. Tras la Primavera de Praga, Koller empezó la serie de los “ufonautas”, que desafían la realidad con “situaciones culturales” y utopías en una nueva y futura cultura cosmohumanística.
Electromagnetic Cascade and Chemistry of Exotic Atoms
This Workshop was organized to bring once more tagether the scientists of the rather heterogeneaus field of exotic atoms. At present the main topic of the field seems to be the study of the atomic cascade. There are some who study it intentionally -Iet us call them cascadeurs -and others who think they investigate other features of the exotic atoms (like Coulomb capture, particle transfer, muon catalyzed fusion, chemical effects, fundamental properties, etc.) -users-while in fact they study some special consequences of the same atomic cascade. We decided to get cascadeurs and users discuss the problems of exotic atoms at wonderful Erice, at the 5th Course of the International School of Physi...
