Carlo Caselli
Lunigiana ignota
Italian · Paperback / Softback
Description
Il giorno 27 luglio 1930 Caselli scriveva al giornale quotidiano Il Telegrafo: "Domani partirò dalla Spezia a trotto d'asino per scoprire la Lunigiana. Questa regione, sebbene nota da secoli, ha lembi, perché non toccati da comodi mezzi di comunicazione, lontani da strade rotabili, ancora sconosciuti ed ignorati dai più". Nessun libro potrebbe essere più indicato per dare l'idea di un territorio che dal 1930, anno in cui fu scritto, è cambiato così poco. A parte alcuni centri nelle poche zone pianeggianti dove si sono impiantate piccole e gracili industrie, la Lunigiana è infatti ancora oggi un luogo senza tempo. Colma di monti come piramidi di smeraldo, solcata da valli nel cui fondo scorrono torrenti bellissimi anche nei nomi, Caprio, Verde, Sassino o Civiglia, con sullo sfondo la bizzarria geologica del finto ghiaccio dei marmi bianchi delle Alpi Apuane, con mille tra pievi romaniche e chiese colme di affreschi, dipinti, sculture e quant'altro, è nei fatti una delle rare "regioni naturali" italiane sostanzialmente ancora intatte.

Summary
Collage is a wonderful creative outlet, particularly for people who want to make art, but don’t feel they have the skills, or confidence, for other endeavors. You can still explore and experiment with color, composition, and various themes and end up with exciting and often unexpected results.
If you Can Cut, You Can Collage takes some of the mystery out of collage through easy illustrated pages that show readers the basic techniques of collecting and cutting imagery, composing and adhering compositions, and then provides a wealth of exercises that get readers going on their own creative projects.
We’ll get you started with simple, focused, projects like making a collage with only circles, where you’ll learn important concepts like how to create a focal point, how to use repetition successfully, how to achieve contrast, balance, symmetry, and more. You’ll be incorporating vintage ephemera, typography and lettering, and even urban and found materials in no time!
