This book reveals why. The Italian illustrator Lorenzo Petrantoni melds punk and Victorian styles to create detailed illustrative collages that serve as compelling commentaries on the current state of world affairs. Timestory is the first comprehensive collection of Petrantonis striking illustration for publications such as Newsweek  the New York Times  the Washington Post  the Wall Street Journal  la Repubblica  and Libration  as well as brands including Coca-Cola  Urban Outfitters  Nespresso  Burton  Swatch  Bosch  and many more. This work is supplemented by installation views of key international exhibits and select personal projects. Petrantonis work has also been featured in other Gestalten publications including Visual Storytelling  Map of the World  Cutting Edges  and Illusive 3. Petrantoni composes his charmingly anachronistic  yet eminently contemporary collages by hand with dizzying accuracy. Each text and image component used in his precise handcraft calls to mind Victorian clip art  historical encyclopedias  long-forgotten copper engravings  and newspaper clippings. But when they are combined and viewed as a whole  each collage becomes a topical  thematically dense illustration. Upon taking a closer look  Petrantonis pleasingly subversive way of melding visual and thematic scraps into his own unique images and patterns is reminiscent of terry Gilliams animations for Monty Python. Consisting of small elements  yet making a big impact  Petrantonis unique illustrative collages truly stand out amid the general monotony of advertising graphics and magazine design and tell the Timestory of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651477594165,"sku":"ByrdShop_3899554809","price":95.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783899554809.jpg?v=1781835028","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/timestory-the-illustrative-collages-of-lorenzo-petrantoni-9783899554809","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
