![]() ![]() ![]() This comprehensive book brings together the ancient Celts' finest treasures: masterpieces from fourteen centuries that span the full breadth of Europe. Celtic art was Northern Europe's first major contribution to the art of Europe. Its traditions survived the Roman Empire and experienced a renaissance in Irish illuminated manuscripts around 700 CE. Influenced by Greek and Etruscan art, the Celts created a new formal language, one that reached its apex in Central Europe between the 5th and the 3rd century BCE. Archaeological traces have been discovered from Scotland to Turkey, and from Galicia to Hungary. ![]() The mastery of Celtic artists in the areas of metalwork and textiles is well known, but the term 'Celtic art' covers a much broader terrain. Celtic art is at once magnificent and mysterious. Brussel, Mercatorfonds, 2009 Hardcover met stofomslag, Formaat: 28 x 24,5 cm ? 304 blz, 450 illustraties in kleur. ![]()

This Neil Gaiman Series Is A Must SeeĮxplaining the plot of MirrorMask is almost a fool's errand. Films like MirrorMask, however, use the unique elements of CGI to create a wholly new type of art. Though the modern take on digital special effects can create truly fantastical dreamscapes, it's mostly used to make superheroes fly or fake objects explode. The classic digital backlot concept has been made unlikable by films like The Phantom Menace. Fully CGI characters are common to modern blockbusters, as are entirely CG animated movies, but their use in any given project typically stands as a target of criticism. Seventeen years after the release of Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman's MirrorMask, it remains one of those films, and it only takes a frame or two to see why.ĬGI has a generally negative cultural context, typically only regarded positively when it isn't noticeable at all. ![]() Some films are so striking, so imaginative, so magically unusual that it becomes shocking that people aren't always talking about them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Campbell By purchasing this content, you certify that you are over 18 years of age, and acknowledge that you have read and agree with the End User License Agreement and Terms of Service on the Happiest Baby website.
