Ida Lupino, Director
The updated edition of Ida Lupino, Director: Her Art and Resilience in Times of Transition, an in-depth exploration of Lupino's film and television directing work, provides close readings of the films and TV episodes Lupino directed and accounts for the history of Lupino's reception, continuing into the mid-2020s, in media and film scholarship. The book gives readers a fuller understanding of Lupino's major contribution to the history of American cinema and media. The revisions update this book, the first on Lupino's directing, to address recent scholarship on Lupino's work and reinforce her abiding relevance for cinephiles and film scholars. It incorporates scholarly and popular culture references to Lupino in the last seven years. Updates include a foreword by writer and film critic Imogen Sara Smith, whose work in film scholarship and the public arena has drawn attention to Lupino and the importance of gender to film noir. Authors Therese Grisham and Julie Grossman have added a complete list of the TV episodes Lupino directed in the 1950s and '60s, as well as an updated epilogue. This new edition addresses how our views of Lupino's innovative cinema and her prodigious contributions to classic television have been taken up by others, proving that Lupino, whose reputation has waxed and waned since the middle of the twentieth century, is here to stay as a major figure in the history of American media.
Where Future Grows
An exploration of the shift towards work environments that foster creativity, well-being and meaningful growth – reimagining the future of work as a place where people really want to be.
Although more and more tasks are being taken over by machines and artificial intelligence, humans remain the central element to the working world. For knowledge workers in particular, the choice of workplace will increasingly depend on where they can best utilize their skills, find meaning in their work, and experience a positive working environment. Where Future Grows explores this transformation of work and examines how future workplaces should be designed. An environment that considers both functional and aesthetic aspects will become increasingly important.
The authors present a vision of a working world where the boundary between life and work dissolves, allowing human potential to be fully realized. Through detailed analyses of future work environments and a series of interviews, best-practice examples illustrate how workplaces should be designed to foster both professional and personal growth.
Notes on Book Design
Insightful texts on book design that explore the visual, tactile, and cultural aspects of books through the perspective of graphic designers
Fifty readings on book design, authored by Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg of Formal Settings, unfold across the pages of this volume. Drawn from a curated selection of titles in the private collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room – a conceptual bookshop and event space in Berlin – each text focuses on a single book, examining its visual and tactile qualities, from materials and layout to binding and typography. “Our aim is to understand the role and potential of books through a design lens, mapping what they communicate through their physical form.”
The authors guide readers through the intricacies of book design, showing how form can become message – how a book can serve as a vessel, a statement, and an object of beauty in its own right. They explore and examine each book as a design object, situating it within the cultural movements, political climates, and economic conditions in which it was produced. This publication reveals how book design can foster shared languages and cultures, create space for the exchange and exploration of ideas, and underscore the social and cultural dimensions of design itself.
With an afterword by designer, author, and teacher Prem Krishnamurthy, providing further context and insight into the project.
Women and Their Jewels
The word 'jewel' derives from the Old French word joiel, a word that finds its roots in the words for playing, joy, and enjoyment, proof that jewellery is intimately tied to notions of pleasure and happiness.
For some, it is the pleasure of love, for others, an obsessive passion. For Wallis Simpson, after the throne had passed her by, her jewelled treasures were her solace. As for Maria Callas, the soprano amassed diamonds and rubies to ward off the poverty of her childhood, and to spark the jealousy of a mother she hated. Barbara Hutton, America's most famous poor little rich girl, went around wearing a tiara, demanding to be called a princess. And they have been the cause of so much drama, Marie-Antoinette, whose diamond necklace identified her and sent her to the guillotine; Joséphine de Beauharnais, who was also embroiled in a necklace affair involving Marie-Antoinette's pearls; Begum Om Habibeh, Miss France 1930, and wife of the Aga Khan, who was robbed of her royal jewellery in the middle of the street...
In this gloriously illustrated book, novelist and jewellery expert David Lelait-Helo stares into the jewellery boxes of these illustrious women to discover their hearts and their minds.
The women featured are:
Ava Gardner
Barbara Hutton
Brooke Astor
Elizabeth II
Elizabeth Taylor
Eugénie de Montijo

LEstampe Originale
L’Estampe originale portfolio revisited in landmark Catalogue raisonné
L’Estampe originale graphics portfolio, published in France during the mid 1890s, is widely regarded as one of the greatest collaborations in the history of printmaking. The portfolio features ninety-five works of art by seventy-four influential French, Swiss, Belgian, English and American artists. The visionary Parisian publisher André Marty issued and distributed nine quarterly installments of L’Estampe originale from March 1893 to March 1895 in a limited edition of one hundred. The first eight folios each consisted of ten prints of varying sizes, paper, and media, loose in paper wrappers; the final ninth installment included fourteen prints. In addition to the artist’s pencil or ink signature and an edition number, a unique blind stamp designed by Alexandre Charpentier was embossed on each print.
This revised and full color publication of L’Estampe originale, A Catalogue Raisonné highlights the importance of color lithography during the last decade of the nineteenth century. The book includes an enlightening essay based on hundreds of mostly unpublished handwritten original and facsimile letters from the artists and from Marty’s collaborators; these are preserved at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. This vast chorus of voices allows the reader to eavesdrop directly on the past and reveals rich details of the life and working methods of André Marty—an ambitious cultural insider and artist, art historian, critic, editor, prominent and discerning publisher, private dealer and entrepreneur.
Picasso: The Figure
A fresh, multidisciplinary guide to Picasso's staggering engagement with the human form across painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving and ceramics
Published with Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Amply illustrated, this volume traces Pablo Picasso's (1881–1973) evolving approach to figuration throughout the many stages of his work?from the elongated, hieratic renderings of the Blue and Rose Periods, to the dynamic deconstructions of Cubism, to the colossal fleshy bodies of the 1920s, to the hybrid beings of the Surrealist period and beyond. Yoking masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and other institutions, Picasso: The Figure adopts a fresh thematic structure to its subject matter. Its five mythologically inspired sections?"Orion," "Pygmalion," "Minotaur," "Deucalion & Pyrrha" and "The Picasso Canon"?chronologically trace Picasso's figurative innovations across mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving and ceramics. Multidisciplinary in approach, the volume features essays not only by leading Picasso scholars but also by historians of the body, anthropologists and prehistorians. Together, the essays dissect the artist's rigorous dialogue with the visual languages of mythology and antiquity from which his modernist representations of the human form emerged.

Opera Wars
Blunt, irreverent, and at times wittily subversive, Opera Wars spotlights opera's colorful and sometimes warring personalities, increasingly fierce controversies over content, and the battles being waged for its economic future.
Drawing on interviews with dozens of opera insiders-as well as her own experience as an award-winning librettist, trained vocalist, opera company director, and arts commentator-Caitlin Vincent deftly unravels clichés and presumptions, exposing such debates as how much fidelity is owed to long-dead opera composers whose plots often stir racial and gender sensitivities, whether there's any cure for typecasting that leaves talented performers out of work and other performers chained to the same roles, and what explains the bizarre kowtowing of opera companies to the demands of traditionalist patrons.
Vincent never shrinks from depicting the industry's top-to-bottom messiness and its stubborn resistance to change. Yet, like a lover who can't quite break away, she always comes back to her veneration for the artform and in these pages stirringly evokes those moments on stage that can be counted on to make ardent fans of the most skeptical.

Impressionism
A new edition of Belinda Thomson's highly accessible survey, which brings together the latest research on this perennially popular art movement.
The enduring popularity of Impressionism belies what the group of painters dubbed the Impressionists stood for. In the 1870s and 1880s, French artists, including Pissarro, Monet, Degas, Morisot and Renoir, adopted a revolutionary style of technique and subject matter that defied the traditions of the French Academy and the Salons. Rooted in anarchism, political radicalism, and a belief in science and individualism, their paintings captured modern life in ways never seen before.
Belinda Thomson's insightful study sheds light on the personal lives and creative thinking of the Impressionists, exploring the factors that shaped their masterpieces. From family backgrounds to the importance of the art market and the critical reception that challenged yet ultimately defined their work, this introduction offers a nuanced exploration of one of the most transformative movements in art history.

Lucian Freud - Drawing into Painting
Drawing into Painting reveals Lucian Freud’s lifelong focus on the human face and form, tracing the intimate dialogue between his sketches and paintings from the 1930s to the early 21st century. Lucian Freud (1922–2011) is celebrated as one of the great figurative realist artists of the twentieth century, who devoted his artistic life to portraiture. Famously stating that ‘everything is a portrait’, he created intensely observed portraits of animals and plants, as well as his family members and those in his social circle and daily life.
Drawing into Painting explores how drawing remained central to Freud’s artistic practice throughout his life. From quick sketches to finished works in charcoal, pastel, and etching, his drawings offer a rare window into his process, revealing shifts in style, experimentation, and his evolving way of seeing. Spanning from his childhood to his final years, the book traces the unconventional path from his drawing practice to his painting, and back again.
Alongside a selection of key paintings by Freud and others, the book includes conversations with David Dawson, Freud’s close friend and assistant, and Bella Freud, the artist’s daughter. Insightful essays by writer and curator Catherine Lampert, British Museum drawings curator Isabel Seligman, and acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín further illuminates Freud’s world and legacy.

An essential volume in the history of photography, this book is a tribute to Brassai’s extraordinary prescience and freedom of thought.
Ladislav Smoček
Kniha věnovaná Ladislavu Smočkovi (?1932), českému dramatiku a režisérovi, spoluzakladateli Činoherního klubu, představuje jeho dílo od poloviny 50. let 20. století k dnešku.
Prostřednictvím Smočkovy částečně autobiografické hry Nejlepší den (kterou uvedl v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Plzni v roce 1995) nahlíží dobu, již prožil v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava a ve dnech vítězství nad nacismem, když Plzeň osvobodila americká armáda. Monografie přibližuje Smočkovy inscenace z prvních angažmá v Benešově a v Divadle Julia Fučíka v Brně (Pavlíčkův Slavík a Labyrint srdce, Goldoniho Poprask na laguně, Goodrichové a Hackettův Deník Anny Frankové ad.) i jeho působení v Laterně magice. Doširoka se zaobírá vznikem Činoherního klubu v roce 1965 a Smočkovými původními hrami a inscenacemi z prvních sedmi let existence divadla (Piknik, Bludiště a Podivné odpoledne dr. Zvonka Burkeho, Kosmické jaro). Jsou zde nahlíženy jako „divadlo režírovaného herce“ a zachycují tak nejen osobnost a umění Ladislava Smočka, ale i hereček a herců, již se stali jedinečnými spolutvůrci těchto inscenací. I Smočkova vrcholná režisérská díla z pozdější doby (O’Neillová Cesta dlouhého dne do noci, Zuckmayerův Hejtman z Kopníku, Horváthovy Povídky z Vídeňského lesa a Gogolovi Hráči z přelomu 70. a 80. let a po roce 1989 pak Birinského Mumraj, inscenace českých komediografů 19. a 20. století, Kunderova Ptákovina ad.) jsou tu zároveň obrazem souboru a společenství Činoherního klubu. Na základě původního výzkumu kniha představuje Smočkovy pohostinské režie v zahraničí, zejména v curyšském Theater am Neumarkt a Theater im Depot (Depot Tiefenbrunnen).
