Modern Masters
The latest volume of the Modern Masters series looks at the life and work of one of today's top comic-book artists, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. Ask any comic book artist who the best draftsman in the business is, and you'll come up with one answer: Garcia-Lopez. A master of anatomy, composition, and storytelling, he not only astounds his readers, but his peers as well. He is also one of the most visible artists in the industry, as his illustrations can be seen on toy packaging, in DC's "Got Milk?" advertisements, and even on jars of peanut butter. But it's his work on DC's Big Three (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) that earned Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez the title of Modern Master.
Philip Guston
The story of Philip Guston's life is, in many ways, a chronicle of the ideas and events that transformed American painting in this century. Having been a muralist in the 1930s, by the 1940s Guston had turned away from public art to explore a more private vision. These haunting tableaux gave way in the 1950s to shimmering abstractions that represent one of the most poetic contributions to Abstract Expressionism. In the last and most important decade of his life, Guston's work changed yet again, as he invented bizarre, cartoonlike characters to enact monstrously comic fantasies. This abrupt shift from abstraction to figuration enraged the art establishment, but it also helped embolden a younge...
Marc Chagall
Chagall's early achievements in Russia attracted the first of his many guardian angels, who made it possible for him to move to Paris, where he enthusiastically enjoyed the heady pleasures of bohemia and his own precocious success. Back in Russia on a visit in 1914, he was trapped by the onset of the Revolution, which unexpectedly elevated him to the lofty position of art commissar--and just as quickly demoted him. Not until eight years later was he back in his beloved France, where he stayed the rest of his life except for a reluctant exile to the United States during World War II. However tumultuous his life became, Chagall remained almost unsinkably lighthearted, expressing an exuberant j...
Mike Wieringo
The latest volume of the Modern Masters series looks at the life and work of one of today's top comic-book artists, Mike Wieringo. Wieringo hit the comic book industry running, armed with a fresh, unique style all his own. Merging elements of manga with the power of the Marvel comics of his youth, he quickly became a fan-favorite. His work featuring Robin and Superman, Spider-Man and the X-Men -- not to mention the creator-owned world of Tellos -- has cemented him as one of the top artists in the business. And his recent run on Fantastic Four ranks among the best in the title's long and prestigious history. Now Todd Dezago and Eric Nolen-Weathington give you an inside look at the artist's life and career! This 120-page volume presents his most comprehensive, career-spanning interview to date, and is jam-packed with tons of rare and unpublished artwork, including an eight-page full color gallery. It's the ultimate look at the work of a true Modern Master: Mike Wieringo!

The newest volume of the Modern Masters series looks at the life and work of one of today's top comic-book artists, Arthur Adams! Arthur burst onto the comic book scene with the widely acclaimed Longshot mini-series in 1985 and has remained a star in the field ever since.

From super-heroes such as the X-Men, Fantastic Four and The Authority, to pop culture icons including Godzilla, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and even Gumby, Adams' range of work only adds to his appeal. But it is his energetic cartooning combined with his painstaking attention to fine detail that truly amazes his fans and peers alike. Modern Masters Volume 6: Arthur Adams features an extensive, career-spanning interview lavishly illustrated with rare and unpublished art, as well as a large sketchbook section. One look and you'll agree -- Arthur Adams is truly a Modern Master!
Fontana Modern Masters
The Fontana Modern Masters project will present a collection of 58 watercolours - the 48 existing titles and the ten "lost" titles - that examine the historically parasitic connection between the fine arts and the human sciences. Issued at a time when the fine arts were at their most derivative of philosophical and psychological texts, the Fontana books reverse the traditional connection, using the fine arts as a selling point for the human sciences.
