Marcel Dzama Book order (chronological)

يُثير الفنان الكندي مارسيل دزما المغرب من خلال خطوطه الساحرة. يستجوب سفر مارسيل دزما مكانته كفنان، ولكنه أيضًا كسيّاح مُلقى في عالم غير معروف. مع دفتر رسومات في يده وكاميرا حول عنقه، يستسلم لسحر تنوع الأسواق، وللأحاديث الجذابة لسحرة الثعابين. من طنجة التاريخية إلى الصويرة البرية، مرورًا بجبال شفشاون، والطاقة الفوضوية لفاس، وثقافة البربر في بني ملال، وجودة الحرف اليدوية في مراكش، وعظمة صحراء أغافاي، يسعى لاستقبال المشاعر بدلاً من اكتشاف المواقع من خلال قراءات مسبقة. ثم يحوّل الفنان مائيّاته إلى تذكّر لهنري ماتيس، متذكرًا حتى الشرق والرسام يوجين ديلاكروا.

A favorite among the art, literary and indie music scenes, Dzama is best known for his figurative compositions of pen and watercolor on manila-colored paper. Bearing a characteristic palette of muted browns, greys, greens and reds, Dzama's drawings are populated by an expansive cast of human, animal and hybrid characters. In recent years, Dzama has extended his practice to include work in multiple media. A recent exhibition, for example, transformed the gallery into an odeum of imagination, replete with drawings, sculptures, dioramas and films. Featuring an interview with the artist by filmmaker Spike Jonze and designed in collaboration with the artist as two hardback books twin-bound into one with a custom drawing on the cover, Even the Ghost of the Past is destined to become an instant collector's item.Marcel Dzama was born in 1974 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A co-founder of the Winnipeg-based Royal Art Lodge collective, he currently lives in New York City.

Through thirty-one songs that he either loves or has loved, Nick Hornby tells us what music means to his life. These personal and passionate pieces are a celebration of the joy that certain songs have given him. Together with additional writings on music from his column in the New Yorker- seen in the UK for the first time - 31 Songsis for Hornby what many of us have always wanted- a soundtrack to accompany life.
