Banksy is arguably the most well-known street artist of all time. But we don't actually know who he is. This is just one of many contradictions that are addressed in this enormously compelling graphic biography. When two young Londoners are caught spray-painting graffiti on a city wall, they get to know each other while detained by the police. After they are released, they decide to make a film of Banksy's life, tracing the arc of his career as they travel through the streets of London. Readers will learn not only of Banksy's politically charged art and the causes he championed, but also of its worldwide dissemination, museum exhibitions, and record-breaking auctions. While readers may not learn Banksy's true identity, this uniquely graphic form of storytelling communicates the artist's belief that art is for everyone, speaks to everyone, and is owned by everyone

Hokusai - Die Seele Japans entdecken
Eine illustrierte Biografie
Eine grandiose Graphic Novel zum Urvater der grafischen Kunst! Das Leben des japanischen Künstlers Katshushika Hokusai (1760–1849) wird hier in einer faszinierenden Graphic Novel nacherzählt, gepaart mit Texten und Illustrationen über die japanische Kultur und Tradition, zwei Aspekte, die in diesem Buch raffiniert miteinander verflochten sind. Hokusais legendäre Darstellungen des Berges Fuji, die poetischen Visionen von Natur und Tieren, die Kirschbäume, die schneebedeckten Zweige, die wunderschönen Geishas und die furchterregenden Samurai, die Drachen, die Monster und die Kreaturen der Mythologie tauchen unweigerlich in unserer Köpfen auf, wenn wir an Japan denken. Seit den Impressionisten besaß Hokusais Kunst gewaltigen Einfluss auf unsere Wahrnehmung von innerer Kraft, aber auch von Ruhe und Harmonie. Hokusai reiste viel und wohnte an rund 100 verschiedenen Orten. Er war ein sehr leidenschaftlicher und produktiver Maler. Rund 30.000 Werke werden ihm zugerechnet, darunter Gemälde, Skizzen, Holzschnitte, Seidenmalereien und rund 500 illustrierte Bücher. Sein Bild »Die große Welle« ist weltweit berühmt.
