Project Cusachs

[jitch0t]

In order to commemorate the 100 years of the death of the spanish painter Josep Cusachs (1851-1908), during the World Expo 2008 and for the first time, there’s going to be a dislpay of 35 original figures based on pictures and illustrations of the painter, created especially for this occasion by the best spanish modellers (Latorre, Avila, Gamarra, Hernandez, Gallardo, Fortes, etc., etc .....). As a memory of this “Project”, a book has been published: “J. Cusachs. Art and Miniature”, 110 pages in color with more than 200 pictures to discover the life and works of the painter and to admire, one by one, the figures created for the show. This book will be available on the World Expo of Girona.

To complete this information I must say that this book will be edited (first edition) in Spanish language only.
Authors are two of the most recognized modellers in Spain: Juan Carlos Avila Ribadas and Luis Esteban Laguardia whom have been working for more than two years in this project in order to get it on time for World Expo in Girona. Thank you friends for your work and efforts.
The only figure that will be commercial is Latorre´s one ( the one in the photo) just there in the contest as same the book. The others are "one of a kind" specially created for this ocasion. Best regards from Spain. JM
