"Stretching the boundaries of typographic expression, Type Tells Tales is a sensational showcase of type that is integral to the message it conveys, with the capacity to emote, engage, and guide the reader from one thought to the next. Navigating the far reaches of graphic design, Steven Heller and Gail Anderson reveal how type can render a particular voice or multiple conversations, how letters in various shapes and sizes can guide the eye through dense information, and how type can become both content and illustration, as letters take the form of people, animals, cars, or planes. The book's 332 illustrations - including 290 in color - feature historical examples by F.T. Marinetti, Bruno Munari, and Francis Picabia, among others, as well as by contemporary designers such as Richard Eckersley, John Hendrix, Maira Kalman, and Corita Kent. The book firmly locates the letter in the realm of artistry, finding exciting common ground among the pursuits of design, illustration, writing, and typography"--Jacket flap.

Since antiquity, artists have visualized the known world through the female (sometimes male) body. In the age of exploration, America was added to figures of Europe, Asia, and Africa who would come to inhabit the borders of geographical visual imagery. In the abundance of personifications in print, painting, ceramics, tapestry, and sculpture, do portrayals vary between hierarchy and global human dignity? Are we witnessing the emergence of ethnography or of racism? Yet, as this volume shows, depictions of bodies as places betray the complexity of human claims and desires. Bodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents opens up questions about early modern politics, travel literature, sexualities, gender, processes of making, and the mobility of forms and motifs. Contributors are: Louise Arizzoli, Elisa Daniele, Hilary Haakenson, Elizabeth Horodowich, Maryanne Cline Horowitz, Ann Rosalind Jones, Paul H. D. Kaplan, Marion Romberg, Mark Rosen, Benjamin Schmidt, Chet Van Duzer, Bronwen Wilson, and Michael Wintle.

Trois lieux emblématiques à Namur s'associent pour présenter une exposition abordant la représentation des vices et des vertus depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'à nos jours : le musée des Arts anciens, le musée Félicien Rops et l'église Saint-Loup. La Somme théologique de Thomas d'Aquin, rédigée entre 1266 et 1273, constitue une véritable synthèse des préceptes issus de l'Antiquité et des premiers philosophes chrétiens. L'auteur y fixe définitivement les notions de vices et de vertus dont la liste avait été dressée par le moine Évagre le Pontique (fin du 4e siècle) et imposée par le pape Grégoire le Grand (fin du 6e siècle). Une iconographie se développe, où les vertus - chrétiennes - et les vices - païens - s'opposent. Exhibition: Musée Félicien Rops, Namur, Belgium (18.02-21.05.2017) Aristoteles schreef het reeds: 'De deugd is het juiste midden tussen twee ondeugden'.Sinds mensenheugenis is de strijd tussen goed en kwaad een inspiratiebron voor kunstenaars.Hoe heeft deze iconografische traditie zich vertaald doorheen de eeuwen? Hoe hebben schilders, illustratoren en beeldhouwers van de Middeleeuwen tot de Renaissance deugden en ondeugden die alomtegenwoordig waren in religieuze geschriften voorgesteld? Hoe hebben Félicien Rops en James Ensor in de 19de eeuw met deze concepten gespeeld om de hypocrisie van hun tijd aan de kaak te stellen? Hoe gaat een hedendaagse kunstenares als Aidan Salakhova om met begrippen als religieuze taboes, de grenzen tussen het heilige en het profane, de deugd en de ondeugd?Reis door de eeuwen heen en ontdek kunstenaars die naar de menselijke instincten hebben gepeild, van de meest vileine tot de meest deugdzame.
