Description

Skullture_Skulls in Contemporary Visual Culture■

This is the ultimate art book filled with skulls from the beginning to the end. From the fact that almost no one who looks into this site would be averse to skull motifs. And those who have a love for art, fashion, music, and images will surely find inspiration and clues for their creative ideas in these works. There are various methods of expression, which need not be explained here, but must be seen in person. The works are a highly coherent mixture of pieces that cannot be created under the guise of coincidence. The book is very well put together, with a very gorgeous binding, very good printing quality, and a positive influence of the works.

The skull is one of the most recognizable symbols in contemporary visual culture. As the ultimate symbol of anarchy and rebellion, the image of the skull on T-shirts, badges, and rock memorabilia has become part of the vocabulary of urban life. In response to this cultural phenomenon, Skullture has released a cool visual guide to skulls. From the Grateful Dead to skater punk graffiti, haute couture to Damien Hirst, this book is the ultimate collection of iconic and unusual skull motifs.

Skullture explores the connection between Aztec religious iconography and Damien Hirst, the Ramones and 18th century funerary practices, but never loses sight of the fact that as fashion changes, the visual staying power of the human skull remains the same. Skullture showcases the various aesthetic uses of the skull and its varied cultural resonances through the various disciplines of art design and fashion.

Drawing from music, fashion, street art, graphic design, and more, Skullture celebrates one of today’s most iconic cultural symbols.
