Christian Montenegro: New Order<br />
Christian Montenegro<br />
Visionary utopia becomes a lesson of style! The fusion of contemporary<br />
approaches and the avant-gardes of the 20th century generates a<br />
new, unprecedented urban scenario. New Order is an intense voyage<br />
through the concept of the city: memory, desire, language. Blank series<br />
concept, Blank Logo, art direction and design by Franco Cervi, text by<br />
Ferruccio Giromini. Born in 1972 in Argentine, Christian Montenegro<br />
studied illustration at the comic school of famous Argentinean artist<br />
Alberto Breccia. After completing his studies on Graphic Design at the<br />
Buenos Aires University, he began working as a professional illustrator.<br />
Schirmer/Mosel<br />
Bernard Durin: Beetles and other Insects<br />
Gerhard Scherer<br />
French painter and illustrator Bernard Durin (1940–1988) discovered<br />
the beauty of insects for himself and for his art during a walk in<br />
Provence in 1972. During the following decades he made around 60<br />
portraits of insects, using rare and fascinating specimens entrusted<br />
to him by the etymologists of the Museum of Natural History in<br />
Paris. Superior in detail to photography and highly esteemed by<br />
natural scientists and art lovers alike, 48 of these portraits adorn our<br />
edition. Going far beyond the centuries-old tradition of documentary<br />
representations of animals, Durin succeeded in portraying each insect<br />
as an “individual personality.” His works can be found at the Muséum<br />
National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris and other public and private<br />
collections. Gerhard Scherer, who has written the introduction and<br />
the texts accompanying the plates, worked until his retirement as a<br />
conservator at the Zoologische Staatssammlung Munich.
