Zofia Kulik: Works


The first large-scale English language retrospective of one of Poland's leading contemporary artists, arriving at a transformative moment in her career. Zofia Kulik's photographs are a psychic collage of the self. Inspired by eroticism, feminism, and the political and social developments of post-war Poland, her expansive work offers a radical critique of not only what it means to be an artist and a woman, but of what it means to be human. Featuring her most pivotal series - including The Splendor of Myself - this expansive publication charts her rich and varied career, journeying from her earlier collaborations as KwieKulik to the development of her solo work. Shortly after graduating from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1971, Kulik formed the artistic duo KwieKulik with her then partner Przemyslaw Kwiek. Running the Studio of Documentation and Propagation Activities (PDDiU) from their home in Warsaw, the pair created avant-garde films, photographs and objects, as well as performances, installations and interventionist texts. After splitting in 1987, Kulik expressed a new-found desire for her work to be present in museums and institutions. Subsequently developing the black-and-white photomontages for which she is now most famous, Kulik would combine complex patterns with often hundreds of images. Painstakingly detailed and often physically imposing, these images reflect an artist committed to exploring the murky terrains of the psyche. Bringing together these pivotal works alongside Kulik's lesser-known but no less radical projects, this book features comprehensive yet accessible texts from leading writers to provide a much needed introduction to one of Poland's most important living artists.

I Only Believe in Myself


A long-form dialogue?on cinema and survival?with the visionary French filmmaker.The virtuous always engage in a pseudoreligious morality. But there?s one thing they never say: the desire for pleasure is thought in motion. It?s what makes you transfigure a dull and repetitive sexual act into something that can bring you to ecstasy and an idea of eternity ... ?Catherine Breillat to Murielle JoudetCatherine Breillat has always told just one story: her own, the story of a young girl whose existence was forbidden, who was, from childhood, cut in half, split between her mind and her sexuality, marked by the shame of being born female. She became a filmmaker at a time when choosing that vocation meant disobeying the world. During six months between September 2022 and March 2023, the film critic Murielle Joudet interviewed Catherine Breillat for thirty hours, often following up with further discussion over the phone. Joudet and Breillat discuss each of her films in chronological order, moving freely between Breillat?s cinematic vision, her life, and the situations, artworks, and thought that have inspired her films.From A Real Young Girl (1975) to Last Summer (2023), Breillat has made films in an attempt to recover what she believes was stolen from her? the ?unfilmable,? inexhaustible grey area of the feminine where shame, transgression, sensuality, disgust, and the search for oneself intertwine until they become indistinguishable. Her work proposes a haunting imperative to know oneself ... and for her heroines, this spiritual search plays out as an open war with the opposite sex. A conversation with Catherine Breillat is as much a cinema master class as it is a lesson in survival.

Figure Drawing for Fashion Design, Vol. 2


A book that focuses on the type of drawings that fashion designers make to provide a detailed and accurate representation of the garment. In this highly detailed second volume about technical drawing in fashion design, authors Elisabetta “Kuky” Drudi and Tiziana Paci demonstrate how to translate 3D images to 2D. Aimed at fashion students and designers, it covers every aspect of garment representation for all kinds of clothing, from skirts to beachwear to accessories, including shape, proportions, cuts, tailoring details, and fabric types. Technical drawings, or flats, are an irreplaceable means of communication to translate in a visually clear and legible way, the sketch of an outfit where stylistic details, actual volumes, lengths, and other elements of the garment are not displayed in depth. In straightforward, descriptive language, this book teaches readers the most effective ways to draw a detailed and accurate representation of the garment that pattern cutters and machinists can read and implement.

Art of the Nordic Nations


A lavishly illustrated reference on the art of the five Nordic nations, covering a wide range of mediums, movements and styles. Modern art from the Nordic countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland - tends to be represented by a few famous artists, and an aesthetic known for combining originality and continuity of tradition. Nevertheless, the region is far from homogeneous. Each country has its own artistic language, culture and history, sometimes co-existing with its neighbours in harmony, sometimes engaging them in hard-fought conflict. This extensively illustrated survey offers a new history of Nordic art, from the emergence of Impressionism in the 1870s, through the avant-garde experiments of the early decades of the 20th century and onward to the Second World War and beyond. A broad range of artists are featured, some familiar and others less renowned: Anders Zorn and Hilma af Klint, Vilhelm Hammershoi and Franciska Clausen, Edvard Munch and Harriet Backer, Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Fanny Churberg, Finnur Jónsson and Öyvind Fahlström. Each artist's work is vividly placed in the context of their homeland as well as the international art movements of the time. The significant role of women artists is also showcased, chronicling their artistic legacy as well as their broader social contributions. The result is a comprehensive account of modern Nordic art in one impressive volume that is sure to become a definitive account.

Children of The Wicker Man


Justin was always conflicted over the exalted claims made for the film: for him, The Wicker Man destroyed his family. His brother Dominic has been more distanced. The Wicker Man is a set of fragmented stories: benighted production, brutal editing, critical reception, financial failure, and later revival. Using the newly uncovered sources, the brothers investigate what Robin Hardy’s creative contribution to The Wicker Man was, and consider who was truly sacrificed. They reveal an unlikely heroine: Justin’s mother, who bankrupted herself paying loans to her husband and the film, only for him to leave when it flopped. The brothers agree she should be justly regarded as executive producer of the film she never knew was a success. For all women behind artist husbands, this book reveals a series of heroines: the mothers of the children of The Wicker Man.
