Para Rousselot, la Caligraf\u00eda est\u00e1 primero, forma parte de su vida, y nunca deja de practicarla, en todas sus diferentes variantes.
\nSe especializ\u00f3 en los a\u00f1os 70 en la Caligraf\u00eda Inglesa o Copperplate, variedad bastante dif\u00edcil que requiere mucho pulso e inventiva para trazar los diferentes adornos que esta letra requiere. <\/p>\n

La Cancilleresca o It\u00e1lica, se puede decir que es la que m\u00e1s practica y la que prefiere ense\u00f1ar en sus cursos de escritura, de esta modalidad, tambi\u00e9n practica la Cancilleresca Gestual, mucho m\u00e1s moderna y suelta que ocupa un tiempo especial en sus ejercicios diarios.
\nUltimamente se ha despertado un inter\u00e9s largamente esperado por la Caligraf\u00eda, las G\u00f3ticas (Frakturs), las Unciales y las Carolinas viajan con Rousselot a donde lo soliciten, como a la Ciudad de Valencia donde ha realizado 2 intensivos cursos de escritura manual.<\/p>\n

Esta muestra de trabajos, en Mitte Barcelona solo pretende mostrar la recuperaci\u00f3n de una disciplina olvidada por el gran p\u00fablico, la vuelta de las manos al lugar que les corresponde, su t\u00edtulo \u00abManos Arriba\u00bb cuenta de forma hiperb\u00f3lica y graciosa la intensi\u00f3n del Cal\u00edgrafo de enamorar al p\u00fablico y a lo mejor, con suerte, interesarlo por coger una pluma y sentir el sonido del rasgueo sobre un buen papel\u2026 <\/p>\n

Bio<\/p>\n

La afici\u00f3n por la Caligraf\u00eda, le viene a Rousselot desde lejos, de muy ni\u00f1o practicaba con las letras, siguiendo una vocaci\u00f3n totalmente desconocida por su entorno en su ciudad natal de Resistencia, Provincia del Chaco, Rep\u00fablica Argentina.
\nSigui\u00f3 sus estudios en esa ciudad, sin nunca abandonar su afici\u00f3n, y mas tarde se establece en Buenos Aires, en 1957, y all\u00ed si se desarrolla como profesional en el mundo de la Gr\u00e1fica, mundo en el que a\u00fan contin\u00faa.<\/p>\n

Rousselot incursion\u00f3 en las dos vertientes del oficio, el Dise\u00f1o Gr\u00e1fico y la caligraf\u00eda \/tipograf\u00eda, agregando m\u00e1s tarde, la docencia.
\nSe hace dif\u00edcil separar estas disciplinas, ya que desde un principio amalgam\u00f3 estas variantes, tan diferentes y a la vez tan compenetradas.
\nDe unos muy fruct\u00edferos finales de los a\u00f1os 50, salta a Chicago, USA, en 1961, donde se dedic\u00f3 casi exclusivamente al alfabeto dibujado y a la caligraf\u00eda, absorbiendo conocimientos de los m\u00e1s grandes Maestros en boga en esos momentos, con todos los cuales mantiene a\u00fan hoy copiosa correspondencia.<\/p>\n

Rousselot pertenece a un hipot\u00e9tico club de escribas de todas las nacionalidades, y frecuentemente es requerido a dictar conferencias y cursos con talleres en Escuelas de Dise\u00f1o y Universidades de distintos pa\u00edses.<\/p>\n

En 1968 vuelve a Buenos Aires, all\u00ed se instala con su propio estudio de Dise\u00f1o de Envases, y una Taller de Fotocomposici\u00f3n de Titulares para Anuncios de Publicidad, donde pudo testar sus propios alfabetos, la letra dibujada era muy importante en esos d\u00edas.
\nEn 1975 decide con su familia, (sus compa\u00f1eros de trabajo) establecerse en Barcelona, donde es bastante difundida su trayectoria por haber aparecido en numerosos libros y publicaciones.<\/p>\n

To Rousselot , first of all Calligraphy forms a part of his life, and he never stops doing it in all it’s different forms .
\nHe specialized in the 70s in the English or Copperplate Calligraphy which require firmness and ingenuity to trace the different ornaments.<\/p>\n

The chancery or Italic , you can say it is the most practical and which he prefers to teach in his writing courses , in that sense he also practices Gestural chancery , much more modern and occupies a special time in his daily exercises.<\/p>\n

Lately an interest has awaken for a long awaited calligraphy , the Gothic ( Frakturs ) , the Carolinas and Uncials travel with Rousselot where he is so requested by the City of Valencia and there he instructed 2 intensive handwriting courses.<\/p>\n

This display of works in Mitte Barcelona is only intended to show the recovery of a discipline which has been forgotten by most of the public, in return of the hands to it’s rightful place , the title \u00bb Manos Arriba \u00bb tells us a hyperbolic form and a humorous intension of the Calligrapher to make the public fall in love with it and maybe hopefully, get them interested in grabbing a pen and feel the strumming sound on a fine paper.<\/p>\n

Bio <\/p>\n

The love of calligraphy , comes to Rousselot from far away , when he was very small he used to practice letters , following a totally unknown environment for this vocation in his native city Chaco Province , Argentina.
\nHe continued his studies in that city, without ever leaving his passion, and later he settled in Buenos Aires in 1957 , where he has become a professional in the world of Graphic, in which he still continues. <\/p>\n

In the late 50s, he moved to Chicago , USA in 1961 , where he devoted himself almost exclusively drawn alphabet and calligraphy , absorbing knowledge from the greatest Masters of their time, with all of which still remains copious correspondence today .<\/p>\n

Rousselot belongs to a hypothetical scribes club of all nationalities , and is often required to lecture courses and instruct workshops in design schools and universities from different countries.<\/p>\n

In 1968 he returned to Buenos Aires , where he installed his own studio of Packaging Design and Typesetting Workshop of Ads Holders for Advertising, where he could test their own alphabets , the drawn letter was very important in those days.
\nIn 1975 he decided with his family ( his colleagues ) to be established in Barcelona, where his career is fairly common to have appeared in numerous books and publications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
