Fifty years ago, shortly after The Lord of the Rings was first published, Cor Blok read the trilogy and was completely captivated by its invention and epic storytelling. The breadth of imagination and powerful imagery inspired the young Dutch artist, and this spark of enthusiasm, coupled with his desire to create art that resembled a historical artefact in its own right, led to the creation of more than 100 paintings.Following an exhibition at the Hague in 1961, JRR Tolkien's publisher, Rayner Unwin, sent him five pictures. Tolkien was so taken with them that he met and corresponded with the artist and even bought some paintings for himself.The series bears comparison with the Bayeux Tapestry, in which each tells an epic and complex story in deceptively simple style, but beneath this simplicity lies a compelling and powerful language of form that becomes more effective as the sequence of paintings unfolds.The full-colour paintings in this new book are presented in story order so that the reader can enjoy them as the artist intended. They are accompanied by extracts from The Lord of the Rings and the artist also provides an extensive introduction illuminating the creation of the series and notes to accompany some of the major compositions. Many of the paintings appear for the very first time.Readers will find Cor Blok's work refreshing, provocative, charming and wholly memorable - the bold and expressive style that he created stands as a unique achievement in the history of fantasy illustration. Rarely has an artist captured the essence of a writer's work in such singular fashion; the author found much to admire in Cor Blok's work, and what higher accolade is there?… (mais)

Este nuevo libro de arte a todo color revela con suntuoso detalle más de 100 pinturas basadas en El Señor de los Anillos del aclamado artista holandés Cor Blok, muchas de las cuales aparecen aquí por primera vez.

Hace cincuenta años, poco después de que se publicara por primera vez El Señor de los Anillos, Cor Blok leyó la obra y quedó completamente cautivado por su invención y su épica narrativa. La amplitud de la imaginación y la fuerza de las imágenes inspiraron al joven artista holandés, y le llevó a la creación de más de 100 pinturas. Tras una exposición en La Haya en 1961, el editor de JRR Tolkien, Rayner Unwin, le envió cinco cuadros. A Tolkien le gustaron tanto que se reunió y mantuvo correspondencia con el artista e incluso compró algunos cuadros para él.

La serie se puede comparar con el Tapiz de Bayeux, en el que cada cuadro cuenta una historia épica y compleja con un estilo aparentemente sencillo, pero bajo esta sencillez se esconde un lenguaje formal convincente y poderoso que se hace más eficaz a medida que se desarrolla la secuencia de cuadros. Los cuadros a todo color de este nuevo libro se presentan en el orden de las historias para que el lector pueda disfrutarlos tal y como los concibió el artista. Se acompañan de extractos de El Señor de los Anillos y el artista ofrece también una extensa introducción que explica la creación de la serie y notas que acompañan a algunas de las composiciones más importantes. Muchos de los cuadros aparecen por primera vez.

Los lectores encontrarán la obra de Cor Blok refrescante, provocadora, encantadora y totalmente memorable: el estilo audaz y expresivo que creó constituye un logro único en la historia de la ilustración fantástica. Pocas veces un artista ha captado la esencia de la obra de un escritor de un modo tan singular; el autor encontró mucho que admirar en la obra de Cor Blok y... ¿qué mayor elogio puede haber?
