        The Machinery of Portrait: experience, of a viewer, teacher, artist

        Опыт зрителя, преподавателя, художника

        by Victor Melamed

        Russian graphic artist Victor Melamed—who is well-known for his works for the leading domestic and foreign newspapers and magazines like Kommersant, Expert, The Rolling Stone, The New Yorker—in his book shares reflections on the art of portrait in the past and present, in high and pop culture, in painting, illustrating, caricature, and design. Having a practical approach to the creation of a portrait and pulling back the curtain of the artist’s creative “kitchen”, the author discreetly raises the bar and invites us to think about how the image of a man is being formed and perceived.

        Pleasure of Learning

        by Zhou Xue

        Like a bundle of secret documents, a soft piece of felt is wrapped around the body of this book and tied with a thread of raffia. Then calligraphic daubs of ink darken the creamy natural white of the paper, page by page until you become immersed in a new world. The strong, tough paper contains texts in filigree Chinese type, with some smears of watery ink here and there.The reader works through the book very carefully because it appears so vulnerable with its assortment of papers, the stitch binding with open spine, and the secretive beginning. You therefore handle the artistic pages with extra caution – the book, illustrations and observations blend to form a contemplative whole. This corresponds perfectly to the pedagogical motive of the whole project – in the words of Confucius: the Pleasure of Learning.
