Helmut Newton: One-off
A stunning reproduction of a unique album of Helmut Newton’s iconic photographs, including many previously unseen images.
German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton is one of the world’s most iconic fashion photographers. Inspired by Expressionist cinema, film noir, and surrealism, Newton was a prolific image-maker and visionary whose daring work helped shape modern photography and visual art.
In 1999, along with friend and collector Gert Elfering, Newton compiled a ‘One-off’ photographic album of his boundary-pushing work. Helmut Newton: One-off reproduces this album in full, faithful the album’s original size, as an exquisite reproduction, allowing readers to experience this remarkable object and to marvel at Newton’s artistic process and ingenuity.
The stunning album comprises more than 100 photographs – 8 unique Polaroids, 16 chromogenic prints, and 79 gelatin silver prints – each accompanied by Newton’s handwritten pencil annotation. Along with the album itself, the book includes a foreword by Philippe Garner, photography specialist and Vice President of the Helmut Newton Foundation, as well as an insightful interview between Matthias Harder, Director of the Helmut Newton Foundation, and Gert Elfering, together offering an immersive glimpse into Newton’s creative process.

Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression
In Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression, Jacob Engelberg makes the case for radically recalibrating queer film studies, taking as a starting point those cinematic figures who resist categorization within the gay-straight binary. Engelberg’s engagement with bisexual transgression on film illuminates the mutability and instability of sexuality, and of sociocultural structures more broadly by resisting the censure of images as politically harmful as well as the celebration of transgression as inherently subversive. Instead, Engelberg understands bisexual transgression as a process whereby sociocultural rules are made knowable by being contested. From 1970s vampire films to 1990s erotic thrillers, from lesbian imaginings of female bisexuality to European art cinema’s reckonings with HIV/AIDS, bisexual figures on film embody anxieties around the precarity of binary sexuality while revealing the contingencies of sexuality’s cinematic signification. Revivifying the underexploited contributions of bisexual theory, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression proposes a new mode of film theorization and analysis that examines the rich space between and beyond dominant categories of sexual organization, where sexual unpredictability, the allure of the forbidden, and the precarity of sexual signification are illuminated.

Archiving the Past
Archiving the Past uncovers the story of the women in France who, from the 1920s to the 1970s, played critical roles in the production of global cinema's history: as archivists charged with collecting films and other materials, as witnesses tasked with remembering their own film careers, and as activists committed to recovering women's contributions to film history. Reflecting on how gender politics informs the production of film history, Aurore Spiers recasts the film archive as a site of women's intervention, modeling strategies for inclusivity, recuperation, and liberation within feminist film historiography.

Kawase Hasui: Modern Visions of Japan
Discover the timeless beauty of Kawase Hasui, the master of shin hanga, in this stunning new book, featuring his most breathtaking woodblock prints and expert insights into his legacy.
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) was one of the most important and prolific Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. He was one of the main creators of the shin hanga ('new prints') movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects in a style influenced by Western painting. Shin hanga prints are harmoniously balanced designs, printed on the highest quality paper using the finest pigments, and in small editions. They are the fruit of a traditional yet successful collaboration between artist, publisher, block cutter and printer and have become increasingly popular among collectors of Japanese prints in the last decade.
Hasui began his artistic career studying Japanese painting. However, soon after seeing Shinsui's Eight Views of Lake Biwa series, Hasui turned to woodblock printing in 1919. Shozaburo Watanabe was the first to recognize his artistic genius, and Hasui Kawase soon became the most popular artist working for this prestigious publisher. He produced nearly a thousand woodcuts in a career that spanned almost forty years. Towards the end of his life, the Japanese government recognized him as a 'Living National Treasure' for his contribution to Japanese culture.
And the Cow Burned
In the films of legendary Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky, images of visually striking and mysterious animals serve as powerful symbols, marvels, and metaphors, from nomadic dogs to rolling horses and soaring birds. Yet Tarkovsky's hauntingly beautiful depictions of animals exist in suspended tension with his often grisly portrayals of animal cruelty – exemplified by the cow he set on fire while making his second feature film Andrei Rublev. These disturbing moments challenge viewers' perceptions of Tarkovsky's morality and complicate his films' refined artistry. And the Cow Burned is a dynamic interdisciplinary study of Tarkovsky's filmography that draws on insights from animal studies, ethical philosophy, and film theory. Through focused case studies centered on different animals, De Luca posits that Tarkovsky's body of work serves as a canvas for animal philosophy, exposing contradictions inherent in human-animal relationships while raising questions about agency, ethics, and power. Readers are invited to engage with the ethical ramifications of Tarkovsky's depictions and understand these animals as real beings whose experiences are fundamentally woven into his moral and aesthetic considerations. And the Cow Burned challenges us to rethink the connections between animals and humans, encouraging a fresh perspective on the paradoxical exchanges that shape our interactions and paving the way for new interpretations in the future.

Long Take
A multifaceted portrait of the great Japanese director For years, Akira Kurosawa resisted writing about himself. “It would turn out to be nothing but talk about movies,” he said. “In other words, take myself, subtract movies, and the result is zero.” The memoir he finally started serializing in 1978, Something like an Autobiography, ended with Rashomon, the film that launched him on the world’s stage in 1950. Long Take, first published in Japan shortly after Kurosawa’s death in 1998, at last tells the story of the rest of his life. By turns intimate, provocative, and revealing, Long Take creates a dynamic portrait of Kurosawa from his own writings; his conversations with writer Inoue Hisashi and director Yamada Yoji; and essays by his daughter and colleague Kurosawa Kazuko, who details the collaborative history of the “Kurosawa crew.” It features a wealth of industry lore, cultural reference points, inside jokes with other filmmakers and writers, and backstories for his own productions, from the earliest to the last. Of particular interest to all cinephiles is an annotated list of Kurosawa’s 100 favorite films. A survey of Kurosawa’s prodigious career, this book situates the visionary in the media milieu of his youth, in the literature and performing arts of twentieth-century Japan and Hollywood, and among the myriad films he loved, admired, and referenced, including Japanese silent film and comedy as well as productions from India, Iran, and Soviet-era Russia. Now available to English readers for the first time, Long Take offers a lasting picture of the peerless filmmaker in his element.
Lauren Bacall
Lauren Bacall (1924–2014), or Betty, as she was known to friends, was one of the last great movie stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Her career spanned seven decades and was one of the longest and most distinguished in the history of show business. Yet it wasn’t easy. After becoming a star at nineteen with her first film, To Have and Have Not (1944), she joked there was nowhere for her to go but down. She became an icon of film noir before the term was even coined. A cool, sophisticated, sexy, and ultramodern woman, she projected confidence and independence. Lauren Bacall: The Queen of Cool is the first book to bring together all aspects of the legendary star’s life and career, exploring her iconic style, her extensive body of work, as well as her friendships and relationships with some of the most famous figures of the twentieth century. Her relationship with Humphrey Bogart is the stuff of legend, the most beloved pairing of classical Hollywood, a perfect blend of romance, glamour, and cinematic glory. When Bogart died in 1957, Bacall was a mere thirty-three years old, and for the rest of her life she would wrestle with the legend of her late husband, struggling to prove to the industry that she was more than just the most famous widow in Hollywood. That she managed to achieve in spades, becoming a two-time Tony Award–winning Broadway star, a bestselling author, and continuing a successful, though at times rocky, screen career, which brought her an Academy Award nomination in 1996 and an Honorary Oscar in 2009. Combining meticulous research with stunning photographs, author Anthony Uzarowski presents in this volume a multidimensional portrait of the woman and the star that was Lauren Bacall.
Light Blue Filter
Dvě století od vzniku první dochované fotografie zažívá toto médium nebývalý rozmach. Fotografie se stala nedílnou součástí mezilidské komunikace a hlavním nástrojem pro tvorbu obrazů je dnes mobilní telefon. Algoritmy výpočetní fotografie posouvají uživatele digitálních zařízení do vztahu blízkého konceptu Aparát–Operátor, jak jej popsal Vilém Flusser. Tato příručka principu fotografického média si klade za cíl přiblížit čtenáři, co se odehrává na pozadí algoritmů v?„black boxu“ fotografického aparátu. Východiskem pro pochopení média jsou poznatky fotografie 20.?století. Autor se v knize často odkazuje na práci Ansela Adamse a ukazuje, s?jakými problémy při zachycení světla se musejí vyrovnávat i současné technologie. Zaměřuje se na vznik fotografie na základě fyzikálních zákonů, jež platí univerzálně. Cílem není čtenáře zahltit obsáhlými texty plnými odborných termínů, ale naopak srozumitelně a za pomoci jednoduchých ilustrací objasnit základní principy. Publikace vychází z?autorových poznámek k?výkladu technologie fotografie. Místy jsou pasáže rozvinuty do kratšího textu, většina však zůstává ve své stručnosti ve formě poznámek k?přednášce nebo výkladu.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr podle odhadů prodali přes 600 milionů desek, tedy více než kterýkoli jiný umělec v historii, a dodnes setrvávají v pozicích rockových ikon.

Cesta na vrchol pro Fab Four rozhodně nebyla jednoduchá. Za přerodem party tvrďáků hrající rocknrollové standardy v unikátní stroj na rockové hity stály stovky koncertních štací v liverpoolském Cavern Clubu a v hamburských putykách, díky kterým se jádro kapely dokonale sehrálo. Po úspěchu hladová kapela pak sérií hitových singlů a alb obrátila naruby nejprve Velkou Británii a poté i zbytek světa. Přes období beatlemánie, ve kterém se skupina dokázala vyrovnat s masivní popularitou, se Beatles propracovali až do období, v němž ve studiích Abbey Road produkovali přelomové psychedelické klenoty. Nastupme do legendami opředené Žluté ponorky a vydejme se zkoumat hlubiny beatlovské tvorby.
