Visste du at farger kan gjøre deg glad, trist, stressa og til og med varm eller kald? At hvitt, som brukes stadig oftere både på institusjoner og skoler, øker stress, gir senket konsentrasjon og er en katalysator for hodepine?Hva er farger, hvorfor trenger vi dem, og hva bruker vi dem til? Fargeekspert Dagny Thurmann-Moe går i denne boken til kamp mot en stadig mer fargeløs tilværelse. Hun viser oss hvordan Norge har gått fra å være fargerikt og fullt av inntrykk, til å bli et landskap i grått og hvitt, selv sommerstid, og hvordan vi kan bevege oss tilbake mot det fargerike. I første del av boken gir hun en innføring i hva farger er, hvorfor mennesker trenger farger, og hva vi bruker dem til. Hun forklarer hva en fargepalett er og hvordan man bruker den. I andre del tar hun for seg hvordan farger kan brukes i arkitekturen, offentlige rom og offentlige institusjoner. Til sist viser hun hvordan vi kan bruke farger selv, i interiøret og garderobene våre, og at farger har en naturlig plass, uansett hvilken stil du ønsker å ha.

The first comprehensive publication on artist Jessie Homer French¿s work. Born in 1940 in New York, New York, Jessie Homer French lives and works in Mountain Center, California. Homer French is a self-taught, self-proclaimed ¿regional narrative painter¿ who routinely, perhaps even obsessively, paints archetypes of death, nature, and rural life. Through a simplified language of apparently naive, flat colors and calm brushstrokes, her paintings emerge as a continuous analysis of her surroundings, in which creation and destruction coexist with exemplary candor. The paintings reproduced in Fire, Fish, and Death are a lyrical exploration of the fragility and beauty of existence, conveyed through soft brushstrokes and a vibrant palette. Often depicting death and destruction ¿ which usually comes in the aftermath of fires ¿ the artist consistently challenges the viewer through the use of striking imagery, such as large numbers of deceased fish in pristine water or funerals with heavily adorned coffins that draw attention away from the bereaved. Despite the artist's realistic representation of these scenes, they possess an otherworldly and surreal quality that transports the viewer outside of their present reality and creates a sense of disorientation and awe. Jessie Homer French, blessed with a poetic eye and a deft hand, reminds us of the transience of life, capturing the fleeting moments of existence in a way that is both haunting and idyllic.

Luciano Ventrone (1942-2021) was discovered in 1983 by Federico Zeri, who defined him as the "Caravaggio of the 20th century" and encouraged him to apply his talent to still life. Thus began his long research into various aspects of nature, as he captured more and more details which are otherwise almost invisible to "eyes bombarded by millions of images", such as those of people of our era. In each of his exhibitions, Ventrone's paintings are seen by tens of thousands of people who come to be astonished. He established himself as a true master of figuration, displaying an extraordinary virtuosity with few precedents in the history of art. He is a painter of hyperbole, and indeed, more than hyper-realistic, his iconic still lifes - renowned in all five continents - are hyperbolic, exaggerated, and baroque. Over the decades, his work has commanded the attention of critics and art historians, including Federico Zeri, Giorgio Soavi, Roberto Tassi, Achille Bonito Oliva, Vittorio Sgarbi, Marco Di Capua, Antonello Trombadori, Edward Lucie-Smith, Angelo Crespi, Beatrice Buscaroli, Evgenia Petrova and Victoria Noel-Johnson. One year on from his death, in collaboration with the foundation that bears his name, the General Catalogue of Luciano Ventrone's works has been published. By identifying the Master's authentic works over more than fifty years of painting, the monograph will surprise his admirers, revealing pictorial periods and cycles rarely exhibited or published before now, with genuine "finds" coming from private collections around the world.
