His images of the Sahel famine and his colossal project Workers would be enough to make his reputation and justify all the awards he has received. But there is more. A native of Brazil, trained as an economist, Sebastião Salgado has shown a constant faith in mankind, a solidarity that never waivers or flinches in the face of pain, an ability to analyse extreme situations, a fierce drive to affirm what he truly is, a humanist photographer. PHOTOFILE brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography. The series has been awarded the first annual prize for distinguished photographic books by the International Center of Photography, New York.

Enclosure: Andy Goldsworthy

Автор: Putnam James

PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ

In the early 1990s Andy Goldsworthy was invited to propose a project for Cumbria, a region of outstanding natural beauty where the landscape has been moulded for centuries by agriculture and in particular by sheep-farming. His response was to repair or rebuild a swathe of Cumbrian sheepfolds – with the intention that, wherever possible the folds would still be accessible to sheep. Among the sculptures are slate works and balanced stones embedded in walls and a series of sixteen folds each containing a massive boulder rolled down from the nearby hillside. By 2006 over forty structures had been completed: it is this extraordinary project that forms the core of Enclosure. This impressive volume is testament to Goldsworthy's lifelong interest in the land, its history and its inhabitants. Andy Goldsworthy, the internationally renowned sculptor, was born in Cheshire in 1956. There are regular exhibitions of his work in Britain, France, The United States and elsewhere. Although he travels all over the world to carry out his commissions, the landscape around his home in south-west Scotland, remains at the heart of his work.

«I have drawn all my life. I began withdrawing: I have never stopped drawing.»—Auguste Rodin From the «black» drawings contemporaneous with the Gates of Hell to his great watercolor nudes, this book reproduces hundreds of Auguste Rodin's most beautiful graphic works held in the collection of the Musée Rodin, a number of which are published here for the first time. The accompanying essays analyze the complex relationships between Rodin's drawings and his sculptures, the problems of attribution, and the role of sensuality in his work. Rodin's rich graphic oeuvre has until now been a little-known aspect of his art, yet it is crucial to a full understanding of his work. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the great sculptor's achievements.»

Rene Herbst: Pioneer of Modernism
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Delaporte Guillemette
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2004
|
PDF, 216 страниц, 6.48 МБ
|
«René Herbst's enduring furniture designs provide fundamental lessons for today's interior designers. A staunch modernist, Herbst was a founding member and later president of the Union des artistes modernes (UAM) in France, which sought to make domestic comfort accessible to all, regardless of class. The diversity of his work is testament to his prolific and creative output, and his design is marked by its simplicity and functionality. The French architect turned designer was nicknamed the «man of steel» because he pioneered the use of the material for furniture years before mass production on a large scale was possible. In 1929 he created several versions of his celebrated Sandow Chair, which ignited his research into serial production and inaugurated the era of mass production. This book presents a selection of the best works from the Herbst Collection held by the library of the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris, and demonstrates how Herbst was the catalyst of a new style of living that spurred the birth of modernity.»

As populations grow, where and how we live is a major concern. Architects address the issue of housing, and converting spaces is often a more satisfactory solution than building from scratch. Conversions shows that with a bit of imagination all sorts of buildings can be converted into homes. With each case study the author asks: What does one leave intact, what does one rip out, and what changes are forbidden by planning regulations? The budget, the materials, and the way they impact upon surroundings are also examined and assessed. Varied projects from around the world include rural, urban and civic buildings, lofts and industrial spaces, and radical one-offs.

Автор: Bos Ben
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007
|
PDF, 800 страниц, 24.00 МБ
|
This incomparable Who’s Who in the world of graphic design will be an essential addition to all designers’ libraries. The Alliance Graphique Internationale – the AGI – is an élite club. Since its inception in 1951, its members have been collectively responsible for the identity design of most of the world’s top corporations and institutions as well as for countless examples of globally known packaging, publications, illustration and posters. This lavishly illustrated reference presents biographies of almost every AGI member to date, including such luminaries as Alan Fletcher, Josef Müller-Brockman, Adrian Frutiger, Milton Glaser, Stefan Sagmeister, Cassandre, Dick Bruna, Bruno Munari and Irma Boom, accompanied by reproductions of their best – and often iconic – work. Also included are over thirty essays by some of the most prominent AGI members who consider the history of recent graphic design and its present developments, and also present a thorough history of the AGI itself: its worldwide meetings, congresses, seminars, exhibitions and publications.

Elena Dorfman: Fandomania
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: McCormick Carlo
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007
|
DOC, 144 страницы, 1.00 МБ
|
«In her riveting new book, Fandomania, photographer Elena Dorfman examines the pop culture phenomenon of «cosplay», in which participants dress up in costumes--and live part of their lives--as characters from video games, animated films and Japanese graphic novels. The exploding cosplay subculture flourishes at convention centers, college dorms, private clubs and in homes across the country. Dorfman puts herself quietly behind the scenes of these fan-based events to create a remarkable collective portrait. As she describes it, «The theater of cosplay has no boundaries, is unpredictable, open-ended. It includes both the fantastic and the mundane, the sexually aberrant and innocent, female characters who become samurai warriors and brainy scientists, and male characters who magically change their sex.» Explorations of identity through portraiture are at the forefront of Dorfman's work, with the blurred lines between fantasy and reality a continuing theme. She allows each individual a spotlight in which to enact his or her fantasy. The effect is pointedly evocative of this new world of role playing and narrative, one in which scenery is secondary and persona is everything. Comes with a special foam-bound cover and features an essay by Carlo McCormick.»

What lies behind the China's booming growth in the 21st century? What are the roots and true character of this great civilization? Written by a gifted team of notable scholars from Asia and the West and stunningly illustrated, The Seventy Wonders of China provides an unmatched account of this vast and enigmatic country with which the world is now engaging. See the complete contents page The artistic achievements of China are unparalleled and are all described here in expert entries. Famous monuments such as the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Great Wall are given their due, but so too are lesser-known yet breathtaking sculptures, palaces, tombs and monasteries. We marvel at the landscape, the splendours of the old imperial cities as well as their fast-growing modern counterparts, Shanghai and Beijing, with their dazzling skyscrapers. The wonders of China reach into everyday life. The Chinese invented paper, printing, the compass, and such objects as umbrellas and playing cards. China’s food is celebrated here in all its diversity, as is the heritage of the imperial system that ruled the Middle Kingdom for more than 2,000 years. Jonathan Fenby edited the South China Morning Post for five years, has written a biography of Chiang Kai-shek, a history of China from 1850 to 1949 and an account of Hong Kong after its return to China in 1997, as well as many press articles on China. He also broadcasts in Britain, the United States, Europe and the Far East.

‘The real thing that I’m talking about has purity and a certain severity, rigour, simplicity, directness, clarity, and it is without artistic pretension in a self-conscious sense of the word.’ It was Walker Evans himself who provided this perfect definition of his own work. He photographed Depression-era America with a constant striving for objectivity, a kind of documentary neutrality. Nevertheless, the sculptural subtlety of his images and the close attention he pays to both people and things marked an entire generation of artists. PHOTOFILE brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.

Edward Steichen: Lives in Photography
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Brandow Todd
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007
|
PDF, 336 страниц, 10.08 МБ
|
Edward Steichen is unquestionably one of the most prolific, versatile, influential and controversial names in the history of photography. This is the most complete and wide-ranging volume on Steichen ever published. Admired by many for his achievements as a fine-art photographer, he nevertheless impressed countless others with the force of his commercial work. Portraiture, the nude, fashion, landscape, cityscape, dance, theatre, war, advertising, still life and flower photography – no genre, it seems, went unexplored or unaffected by him. Graphic design, typography and art direction were also fertile ground for Steichen and his curation of the exhibition The Family of Man – which attracted well over nine million visitors worldwide – was greatly admired. This fine volume, published to accompany the first posthumous European retrospective exhibition of his work, traces Steichen’s career trajectory from his early Pictoralist beginnings to his time working with Condé Nast and Directorship at The Museum of Modern Art. See the New York Times's enthusiastic review of the show. Hundreds of vintage photographs are accompanied by essays from a range of scholars who explore Steichen’s subjects and his legacy. Includes a full bibliography and a chronology of his career.

Nineteenth Century French Art: From Romanticism to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Art Nouveau

Автор: Loyrette Henri
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007

PDF, 464 страницы, 13.92 МБ

Almost twenty years after the creation of the Musee d’Orsay, the 19th century seems more than ever to be the “Golden Age” of French art. It boasts names such as Ingres and Delacroix, Manet and Puvis de Chavannes, Gustave Eiffel and Charles Garnier. French art became a universally accepted benchmark, spreading the discoveries of Impressionism, the Haussmann models, and the daring of art nouveau far beyond its borders, and receiving in return, in the form of the countless artists who flocked to its hub, numerous influences from abroad. Other key movements associated with the19th century include Romanticism; Neo-Classicism, “orientalism”, and japonisme; Realism; the Barbizon School and plein-air painting; Neo-Impression, Cloissonism, and the Nabis; and Symbolism.This complete, chronological history is illustrated by more than 400 illustrations and covers painting, sculpture, and architecture, as well as the advent of photography, its impact on painting, and its emergence as an art form of its own.

Baroque Architecture: 1600-1750
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Frederique Lemerle
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2008
|
PDF, 248 страниц, 7.44 МБ
|
This book, beautifully illustrated and written by two authorities on sixteenth and seventeenth-century art and architecture, leads the reader through the major styles and shifts of baroque architecture throughout Europe and beyond, and provides a fascinating account of how baroque developed in relation to the unique urban culture of each nation where the style became popular. To admire the undulating façade of Rome’s San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, to walk through the Palace of Versailles’ lavish succession of rooms, or to marvel at the seemingly endless array of columns and windows of St. Petersburg’s Winter Palace is to observe architecture in the act of glorifying the key powers of the day—the empire, wealth, the church, and even mankind’s inventiveness. In-depth coverage of the architecture of France and Italy is coupled with serious analysis on how the style developed in Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, and Scandinavia, as well as in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the Americas.Giving the richest and most complete account of its history to date, this is an essential introduction to baroque architecture for the general reader.

Holy Places, Sacred Sites: A Journey to the World's Most Spiritual Locations
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Mendez Eduardo Rubio
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2008
|
PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ
|
From Argentina to Australia, the Vatican City to Vietnam — Holy Places, Sacred Sites is an uplifting photographic journey to the sacred monuments, locations and landscapes of world spirituality and a thought-provoking meditation on mankind’s religious impulse. Eduardo Rubio Mendéz travelled the length and breadth of the world for three years, taking over 70,000 photographs. His mission? To search for God and the gods, as well as those who believe in them, and live with them and off them. His journey took him to all the most holy places of the earth, from the banks of the Ganges to the Australian outback, from Gothic cathedrals to rudimentary places of worship in the Andes, and revealed a whole host of legends. In the process he met and photographed people who seek in their gods meaning, redemption, consolation – and miracles. The transcendent photographs he took on his pilgrimage portray spaces of nature and humanity: all are imbued with a sacred atmosphere that overflows from within. Eduardo Rubio Mendéz has published several books, including Indira Gandhi, Niños and Guatemala. Juan Masiá Clavel is Director of the Department of Bioethics in the Institute of Life Sciences at Tokyo’s Sophia University.

Born in 1932 in Pennsylvania, Duane Michals has become best known for his compelling narrative sequences, including The Voyage of the Spirit After Death, Paradise Regained and The Fallen Angel. His oeuvre reflects a haunting obsession with life and death, fantasy and reality – thematic opposites expressed through his technical use of double exposures, superimposed images, props, mirrors and the ambiguous notations that often appear on the margins of the photographs. PHOTOFILE brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.

DjVu, 352 страницы, 14.08 МБ

This breathtaking volume will be relished by anyone, especially anyone interested in art in the 21st century. Realism, and so Exactitude, has played an important role in art history ever since the beginnings of the use of perspective in art. Here, John Russell Taylor charts artists' endeavours to re-create the smallest detail, dating back to centuries before photography to the present day. This book has been published to complement a series of shows at the Plus One Gallery in London of contemporary artists working in a figurative, hyperrealist style called Exactitude. Such works show wide diversity – including still lifes, extreme close-ups, large-scale cityscapes, landscapes and commercial packaging. Among the artists included are Pedro Campos, Clive Head, Ben Johnson, David Ligare, Cynthia Poole, John Salt, Cesar Santander, Ben Schonzeit and Tjalf Sparnaay, who come from all around the world, but are united here by their meticulous approach to their work, whether depicting, among many different subjects, American diners, book spines, portraits or car engines. John Russell Taylor is a distinguished critic and author. Maggie Bollaert is the Director of the Plus One Gallery.

China at the Court of the Emperors: Unknown Masterpieces from Han Tradition to Tang Elegance
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Rastelli Sabrina
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2009
|
PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
China at the Court of the Emperors presents almost two hundred masterpieces, various in form and rich in beauty, coming from thirty-two museums and institutes in Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu, and Jiangsu provinces, many of them never seen in the West before. It examines the vast period from the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220) through the Tang (618–907), during which Chinese civilization underwent radical transformation. As a matter of fact, Tang China synthesized foreign and indigenous elements that had been present for centuries, thus creating a new, distinctive, and extraordinary cosmopolitan civilization, made possible by tolerance—a message as important today as it was 1,500 years ago. The book includes essays by some of the foremost experts in the field, including Roderick Whitfield (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London), Felix Schoeber (University of Westminster, London), Lillian Lan-ying Tseng (Yale University), Nicola di Cosmo (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton), Stefano Zacchetti (Università Ca’ Foscari, Venice), and Chao-Hui Jenny Liu (New York University).
