Bettina Rheims. 40th Ed.


Since her first photographs in the late ’70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I. (1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional codes of representation and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection. This Rheims retrospective showcases more than 300 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection brings together renowned series such as Chambre close, Héroines, and Rose, c’est Paris. Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the strength of each image as for the thrilling variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to global celebrities including Kate Moss, Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell, the book showcases Rheims’s particular interest in female fragility and strength, and of the magic encounter between model and artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood.

Man Ray: The Liberated Portrait


Published in connection with an exhibition opening at Photo Elysée in spring 2024, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray’s portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. Man Ray (1890–1976) was a man both of and ahead of his time. With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from previous constraints and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium. A close friend of Marcel Duchamp and André Breton, he was one of the few photographers to be mentioned among the Dada artists and Surrealists. He also worked as a fashion photographer, first for Vogue, and later for Harper’s Bazaar and Vanity Fair. Renowned as the creator of Ingres’ Violin – a photograph from 1924 that broke records when it was sold for $12.4 million in 2022 – Man Ray remains an influential figure in the worlds of art, fashion and pop culture, with many other artists referencing his work. Published in connection with an exhibition at Photo Elysée and in the centenary year of the publication of André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray’s portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. It includes portraits of the leading lights of the Paris art scene, among them Marcel Duchamp, Robert Delaunay, Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso, as well as a selection of his fashion work. As an innovator of photographic techniques and compositional form, Man Ray found the studio portrait – be it of the artists and writers with whom he had longstanding friendships, or of the objects and sculptures he collected – to be the playground in which he could express the visual wit and experimentation for which he is renowned.

Earth, Sky & Water


Instantly calming houses in remote Scandinavian locations that will have you dreaming of your own perfect escape. In a world of starchitects competing to design ever taller glass and steel megaliths, there are still some architects designing with natural materials at a human scale for comfort, longevity, and visual delight. Mette Lange is one such architect. These are beautiful, unpretentious homes in spectacular scenery that offer visual inspiration for homebuilders and dreamers alike. Earth, Sky & Water presents fifteen houses designed by Lange across three chapters: "By the Water," "In the Forest," and "In the Countryside." First-person project texts describe Lange’s unique practice of camping on-site at the start of each design process, and detail the thinking behind each house’s main features. Inviting photography takes readers inside these homes and draws particular attention to the choice of materials. In keeping with her socially responsible ethos, Lange has also designed schools for the children of migrant workers in India, where she spends part of each year. These projects, presented in the book alongside her own home in India, inform her practice at home in Denmark. Lange has kept her studio small in order to remain fully involved in each project at every level. As well as a visual feast of deceptively simple Scandinavian summerhouses that will leave the reader yearning for one of their own, the book offers a blueprint for aspiring architects on how to escape the rat race by running their own sustainable studio. Renowned architecture writer and fan of Lange’s work Kenneth Frampton contributes a foreword. 215 color illustrations

Van Gogh and the End of Nature


A groundbreaking reassessment that foregrounds Van Gogh’s profound engagement with the industrial age while making his work newly relevant for our world today. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) is most often portrayed as the consummate painter of nature whose work gained its strength from his direct encounters with the unspoiled landscape. Michael Lobel upends this commonplace view by showing how Van Gogh’s pictures are inseparable from the modern industrial era in which the artist lived?from its factories and polluted skies to its coal mines and gasworks?and how his art drew upon waste and pollution for its subjects and even for the very materials out of which it was made. Lobel underscores how Van Gogh’s engagement with the environmental realities of his time provides repeated forewarnings of the threats of climate change and ecological destruction we face today. Van Gogh and the End of Nature offers a radical revisioning of nearly the full span of the artist’s career, considering Van Gogh’s artistic process, his choice of materials, and some of his most beloved and iconic pictures. Merging a timely sense of environmental urgency with bold new readings of the work of one of the world’s most acclaimed artists, this book weaves together detailed historical research and perceptive analysis into an illuminating portrait of an artist and his changing world.

Interacting with Color


The essence of Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color in a format that engages learners of all ages and levels and encourages a hands-on approach Interaction of Color is often presented as an overarching theory of color, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color—many of the color exercises illustrated in Interaction of Color were devised by Albers’s students: cutting and pasting, looking, pondering, and learning. This workbook companion is a teaching tool designed to enable readers to engage in the kinds of tactile creativity and exploration that characterized Albers’s own classroom. Focusing on eight of the most important lessons in Interaction of Color, this book invites readers to learn by doing, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips, references to Albers’s original text and illustrations, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists, designers, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and less-experienced practitioners.

Ylla: The Birth of Modern Animal Photography

Driven by her symbiotic relationship with animals, she created a new genre in animal photography: the expression and personality in animals.

She was part of artists' circles in Belgrade and Paris, however during WWII she fled to New York via Marseille where she started her career again from square one. Originally taking beguiling photos in her studio and zoos, Ylla finally traveled to Africa and India where she died in a tragic accident during a water buffalo race. Her Animals in Africa and Animals in India are some of the first books on the subject. Ylla also introduced photography to children's literature. Her books The Sleepy Little Lion and Two Little Bears are juvenile classics. This book details her remarkable life and work.

Pamatují Napoleona (II)


V dobách konzulátu a prvního císařství ve Francii se vyjímala na nebi umělecké imaginace Napoleonova hvězda. Obraz nového suveréna byl synonymem světla, štěstěny a úspěchu. Jeho vojenské porážky a ukončení vleklých válek vytvořily v letech 1814–1815 podmínky pro vznik souhvězdí „vítězů nad Napoleonem“, které poutalo obrazotvornost umělců i zámožných vrstev. Jedním z těch, kdo si chtěl pamatovat Napoleona (1769–1821), byl rakouský ministr zahraničí Klemens Wenzel Lothar von Metternich-Winneburg (1773–1859). Během svého života shromáždil cenné umělecké sbírky a memorabilie s vazbami na proslulé události a osobnosti. Vedle samotného francouzského císaře byl mezi nimi i francouzský ministr zahraničí Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (1754–1838) či sekretář Vídeňského kongresu Friedrich von Gentz (1764–1832). Artefakty spravované Národním památkovým ústavem vypovídají nejen o reáliích a vkusu své doby, ale spolu s osobnostmi, které připomínají, jsou autentickými svědky, kteří promlouvají v historické paměti jako ti, kteří pamatují Napoleona. Druhý díl knihy Pamatují Napoleona navazuje na první svazek a je volným pokračováním knih Zrcadlo moci a Třináctá komnata Napoleonova, analyzujících formování obrazu Napoleona Bonaparta v umění a odraz napoleonské epochy ve fondech hradů a zámků České republiky. Kniha se vedle Napoleonovy (re)prezentace zaměřuje rovněž na další významné osobnosti Napoleonovy doby, které přitahovaly pozornost umělců v různých evropských zemích a zůstaly spjaty také s českým prostředím. Výzkum artefaktů v českých hradozámeckých fondech byl realizován komparativní metodou v kontextu kulturního dědictví uchovávaného v příslušných zahraničních paměťových institucích či ve vybraných privátních sbírkách. Recenzovaná monografie je výsledkem výzkumného úkolu podpořeného Ministerstvem kultury ČR. Obsah: LEO / V souhvězdí Napoleona GEMINI / Když hvězdy tančí: Vídeňský kongres v ateliéru Evropy AQUARIUS / Kníže se šesti hlavami: Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord TAURUS I / Kancléř šarmu a obratnosti: Klemens Wenzel Lothar von Metternich-Winneburg TAURUS II / Rytíř s duší kontrarevolucionáře: Friedrich von Gentz ZODIACUS / Hvězdné nebe nad námi SUPPLEMENTUM
