Paris was brimming with life during the 1930s, and Picasso and Brassai were there to make the most of it. Picasso, thrilling the art world with his works, and Brassai, portraying boulevards and gardens, shops and markets, intellectuals and beggars. The contrasts of Paris parade in front of his camera, from the dark underworld to the radiance of its artistic environment, where he profusely portrayed artists and writer friends, such as Dali, Matisse, Giacometti, Genet and, of course, Picasso, whom he met in 1932 and whose sculptural work he was the first to photograph. This book is about that artistic environment, through which the Parisian intelligentsia is shown in beautiful black-and-white images with the unique signature of the Hungarian photographer. The book includes an excerpt by Henri Miller on Brassai, and a chapter of Brassai's autobiography speaking about his relationship with Picasso. AUTHOR: Brassai, name of the Hungarian photographer Gyula Halasz (1899-1984). He studied painting and sculpture in Budapest before working as a journalist in Berlin and later settling in France, where he developed his photographic career. Among his most notable series was Paris de nuit, in which he photographed scenes of the city's nightlife. He also photographed Parisian life extensively, the atmosphere in the streets by day and night, and the social meeting places, from cabarets to gardens, from the coffee shops frequented by intellectuals to the markets at dawn. Between 1936 and 1963, he worked as a photographer for Harper's Bazaar magazine, and was also a filmmaker and author of numerous articles and nearly twenty books. 120 images.

Justo Gallego, 92 ans, n'a pas de diplôme et n'est ni architecte ni maçon. Cependant, il y a plus de quarante ans, il a décidé de construire une cathédrale sur un terrain agricole pas loin de Madrid en signe de sa dévotion. Utilisant principalement des matériaux recyclés, il travaille à ce monument encore inachevé et qui depuis s'est transformé en lieu de méditation et de prière pour les habitants du coin. C'est en échange de son aide aux travaux que le photographe français Blaiser Perrin a réussi à contourner l'interdiction de photographier le lieu. Cet ouvrage nous délivre des images précieuses de Justo Gallego et de cette fascinante aventure spirituelle.
This gorgeous volume offers the most complete overview in print of the oeuvre of Niki de Saint Phalle, one of the most influential and popular artists of the postwar period. The French-American artist was educated according to the social codes of upper-class New York society, but boldly rejected the expectations of her family to instead choose a career in art. Moving to Paris in the 1960s, she befriended the Nouveau Réaliste artists Martial Raysse, Daniel Spoerri and Jean Tinguely, creating her famous Shooting Paintings, the Nanas (brightly chromatic biomorphic sculptures of female archetypes), as well as experimental films, decors and costumes for ballet productions and collaborations with Tinguely, Robert Rauschenberg and others. Saint Phalle was adept at using the media to consolidate her public image, and soon became an icon of the 1960s art scene, attaining a broad cultural profile that was furthered by her numerous public art projects, including the Tarot Garden in Tuscany and the Stravinsky Fountain in Paris. This superbly produced publication-which features a die-cut cover through which Saint Phalle peers, aiming her gun-presents her works in all media, along with ephemera and archival photographs documenting her rich career and life.
This book, co-published with the Fundación Canal in Madrid, covers three series by Fernand Léger that attest to his original pictorial language, full of shapes and colours. On the one hand, it includes his works to illustrate the foundational essay of Cubism, signed by Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger. On the other, the lithographs with which he illustrated Rimbaud's book Les Illuminations and, finally, more than fifty plates dedicated to the circus, a world of fun and freedom that fascinated him since he was a child.
Plus de 50 cartes postales, manuscrits, lettres dactylographiées et même des e-mails sont présentés aux côtés d'images fixes, de dessins et de storyboards pour créer une étonnante archive épistolaire de nombreuses années en cours. Le conservateur et directeur du Festival international du film documentaire de Punto de Vista, Garbiñe Ortega, a compilé ces matériaux dans le but de « créer des échos et des réverbérations entre des matériaux qui, comme dans un film, grâce au montage, prennent un autre sens au-delà de leur contenu spécifique ». Le volume comprend la correspondance échangée entre les cinéastes Jodie Mack, Jonas Mekas, Stan Brakhage, Jorge Honik, Claudio Caldini, Lech Kowalski, Nicole Brenez, Marcel Hanoun, Nathaniel Dorsky, George Kuchar, Nazli Dinçel, Norman McLaren, Maya Deren, Jean Vigo, Richard Leacock, Monica Flaherty, Richard Linklater, Gabe Kingler, Robert Breer, Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Fernando Trueba, Jean-Marie Straub, Jim Jarmusch, Hanun Farocki, Robert Frank, Fred Wiseman, Margaret Tait, Ute Aurand, Terrence Malick, Lynne Sachs et Gunvor Nelson.
Les représentations du corps constituent la pierre angulaire de cette publication majeure consacrée à la sculpture de Picasso, publiée à l'occasion de la première exposition espagnole sur ce thème, au Musée Picasso de Malaga et au Guggenheim de Bilbao.

S'inspirant du film Les Temps Modernes de Charlie Chaplin, la photographe Cristina de Middel propose ici une réflexion sur la masculinité en Inde, explorant les relations entre l'homme, le travail et la machine. Elle raconte alors l'histoire du docteur Aswani, qui décide d'aller au cinéma pour une rétrospective Charlie Chaplin plutôt que de faire ses longues heures d'embouteillages pour se rendre au travail ; il perd son travail, et comme la célèbre réalisateur, ne sera pas non plus un "homme parfait", car il refuse de se plier aux impératifs du monde professionnel et de collaborer par l'effort à la grandeur de son pays.
The main characters in his photographs are the weak, the disowned and all of those who struggle on a daily basis to survive. This book brings together images of workers breaking up boats, abandoned refugees, amateur boxers, garbage collectors in dumps and members of armed gangs among other subjects. Since 2006 Javier Arcenillas has been working on an essay about violence in Central America. His photographs document pain, desperation, impotence and fear. His first works to gain recognition were Sicarios ("Hitmen") and Nota roja ("Red note"), both installments of his trilogy about death in El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala, followed by Latidoame rica, its final part, the focus of which shifts to the tales of the victims of the indiscriminate violence prevalent in Honduran society. A number of these photographs have appeared in these countries' newspapers. The group of photographs included in this book goes a long way to define Arcenillas's work: striking images with a precise narrative discourse stir powerful emotions in the viewer.Shooting in black and white, making use of the close-up to introduce his scenes and playing with only partially focused subjects he arrives at his individual and feisty vision.

This book features the great retrospective of the American photographer Henry Wessel which is exhibited in February at the Centro Jose Guerrero de Granada and which includes a selection of his most representative photographs. A journey to the American West throughout the lens of this photographer in whose photographs light and forms take center stage.

Wessel is known mainly for his black-and-white images that he took traveling around several American states in search of motifs to photograph. His parking lots and beach-goers photos are remarkable.
