Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) ist der beste und bedeutendste deutsche Künstler aller Zeiten. Seine Malweise ist in ihrer Feinheit ebenso unübertroffen wie seine Kupferstiche. Aber nicht nur in der handwerklichen Ausführung, sondern auch in der Bildkomposition zeigt sich Dürer als ein Genie, der gleichberechtigt neben den Größten der Kunstgeschichte – Leonardo und Michelangelo – steht. Dürers Meisterschaft wird im vorliegenden Kunstband offenkundig sichtbar. In ausgezeichneter Druckqualität werden die Hauptwerke des Künstlers im Großformat wiedergegeben. Der Band kann durch seine herausragende Bildwiedergabe zum Studium der großartigen Malweise Dürers anregen und die künstlerische Vollkommenheit des grafischen Werks veranschaulichen.
Two popular storybook titans, princesses and dinosaurs, battle to determine who should star in this laugh-out-loud picture book for fans of Shark vs Train and The Book With No Pictures. This is a princess book! No, it's a dinosaur book! No, it's . . . a T. rex book? A dragon book? A rubber ducky book?! From Linda Bailey, award-winning and critically acclaimed author, and Joy Ang, Adventure Time-artist and illustrator of the Mustache Baby series, comes an irresistibly irreverent picture book in which plucky princesses and determined dinosaurs have a battle royale over whose book this is. When they start calling in the big guns — or rather, the big carnivores — and decide to build a wall to resolve their differences, princesses and dinosaurs alike learn a thing or two about open-mindedness and sharing.
