Synopsis "Hr Giger. 40Th ed."

"At its essence, Giger's art digs down into our psyches and touches our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb." --Ridley ScottSwiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger's biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist's unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger's unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger's life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist's museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artist's oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger's own statements.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!

excelente libro, preciosas obras, para quien le gusta hr giger es el libro que si o si debe tener, el libro se encuentra en inglés, alemán y francés, pero en su mayoría son fotografías de su obra, por lo que el texto es muy corto, nada que no puedas traducir si no comprendes alguno de estos idiomas

Llego a tiempo y en perdecto estado. Se siente más histórico y vastogran a mi colección. Definitivamente es el artista que me inspiró a dibujar lo que tenía en la cabeza y el corazón, en lugar de lo que pensaba que apaciguaría a los demás. Morbosa, sensual, desfigurada o de otra manera. Se lo recomiendo encarecidamente a los entusiastas de Giger.

Un libro que contiene lo mas representativo de HR Giger, incluso, trabajos no conocidos, o por lo menos, no difundidos, de su época de "Biomechanics" y "Erotomechanics", incluso de "Passagen". Una lástima que el formato del libro sea pequeño. La calidad y el detalle del trabajo aerográfico de Giger es para un gran formato de libro, sobretodo en la conmemoración de sus 40 años. Pero esta totalmente recomendable esta edición. Sobre el estado en que llega el libro, lamentar un rallón en portada, una abolladura de borde de tapa, pero fuera de "eso" contento con la llegada del producto.
