Résumé:
Like the other Sasek classics, this is a facsimile edition of the original book. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later. Facts have been updated for the 21st-century, appearing on a "This is . . . Today" page at the back of the book. These charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, make for a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember the series from their own childhoods. This is Rome, first published in 1960, traces the history of Roman civilization to bring to life the Rome of the 60's. Sasek navigates Rome's busy, winding streets to visit such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Fontana di Trevi-and to show us the eccentricities of modern Roman life, from its colorful trains, trams, and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.

Résumé:
Originally published in 1926, "Up & down New York" is an imaginative, charming, quirky, and delightful period piece - but it is also timeless. This facsimile edition of the nostalgic classic reproduces Sarg's delightful illustrations of the dynamic and vibrant streets and famous places in New York. The surprise is in finding how much remains the same in many New York neighborhoods after 80 years, including Grand Central Station, Times Square, The American Museum of Natural History, City Hall, the Stock Exchange, the Great White Way (Broadway), the shuttle in the subway - not to mention the busyness and vibrancy that characterizes the city. The places that do not exist anymore, including the aquarium at the Battery and Washington Market, give us a glimpse of New York in its first heyday. This new edition of Tony Sarg's Up & Down New York will appeal to kids of all ages, to designers, illustrators, and book collectors, as well as anyone interested in New York or 1920s-era drawings.

La spirale, cette forme primitive, a été réinventée par les artistes du XXe siècle : Calder fait tourner le nombril de Joséphine Baker, les étagères de Ron Arad s'enroulent comme des vers de terre, Tony Cragg déploie une ville-escargot. Un escalier en colimaçon, photographié par Germaine Krull, ressemble à un coquillage... La spirale en mouvement crée des illusions d'optique : des Rotoreliefs de Duchamp aux tourbillons des vidéos de Nam June Paik. En suivant un fil conducteur, une couleur, une matière, une forme, l'enfant tisse des liens entre des œuvres très différentes : peintures, sculptures, photos, objets de design...
