Matador magazine proposes in its new issue an exciting journey through the science of botany from reproductions of historical documents, unpublished drawings, photographs and texts of classic and contemporary artists.
Matador R opens with the desideratum of Gonzalo Nieto, Phd in Biology from the Complutense University, CSIC research professor and former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, an unpublished text of the writer Belen Gopegui and the Matadores, which this time are Harry Maasz, Barons Rothschild and Cecile Brunner roses, exquisitely photographed by Ciuco Gutierrez.
Matador addresses this science from different perspectives. The development of botany is illustrated with two essential historical documents, the Systema Naturae of Linnaeus and the color palette of Tadeo Haenke, which is the first pantone history. The botanical expeditions to America, the epitome of scientific passion of the eighteenth century, are presented with a dossier of botanical drawings and dried vegetables of Ruiz y Pavon, along with a text by Antonio González Bueno, PhD in Biological Sciences from the Autonomous University of Madrid .
In addition, Matador includes the most innovative visions, as the revolutionary photographs of flowers by US Imogen Cunningham, accompanied by a text of his granddaughter, the writer Elizabeth Partridge, and images took by Paul Strand in his own garden in the French town of Orgeval, presented by the curator and editor of photography Carlos Gollonet.
Artist’s Sketchbook.- Juan Uslé
The Artist’s Sketchbook of Matador R is an unpublished work of John Uslé (Hazas de Cesto, Cantabria, 1954), one of the most prestigious Spanish international artists. Matador presents log book Lux, a set of twenty watercolors and a text made and personally selected for this Artist’s Sketchbook. Visual annotations of a logbook, where light and white paper testify the idea of a trip under construction, the loneliness of the traveler on a much larger universe of space.
