Timelines: The Art of the Modernism - Tapa blanda

Questo è il primo libro della Taschen ad affrontare il tema del digitale ed è dedicato alla bellezza femminile e cioè a tutti quei personaggi creati al computer, ma di un fascino mozzafiato. Il punto di vista non è quello abituale, e cioè quello prettamente tecnico, ma piuttosto estetico; non si sottolinea tanto il come di certe realizzazioni, ma piuttosto il risultato in se stesso.

TASCHEN goes digital! The first book in our groundbreaking new series on digital culture focuses on beauty and the cutting-edge computer generated female characters. Whereas most books on digital creation concentrate on technique and include detailed "how-tos," Digital Beauties is all about exploring the artistic achievements of today's best designers without a lot of complicated technical jargon. Here you'll discover a host of digital beauties from all around the world and a dizzying array of styles and techniques - moody black-and-white nudes, surreal portraits, Lara Croft-style adventure chicks, sleek ultra-futuristic babes, etc Both 2D and 3D design are covered, so stunningly lifelike it's hard to believe they're 100% computer generated. In an age of virtual characters, you'll soon be coming across these characters in the future, on TV and film; one such example is Steven Stahlberg's lovely Webbie Tookay, the first virtual model to sign with Elite Digital Models. - Over 100 artists from all around the world, with biographical and contact information and samples of their best work - Inspirational approach with stylistic advice for amateur creators - Stunning graphics
