Fotografi

A captivating photographic odyssey spanning fashion, Hollywood and travel, this is the first publication in almost 40 years on the work of George Hoyningen-Huene, the photographer whose images defined an era. Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900¿1968), known simply as Huene, worked during the golden age of couture fashion and Hollywood cinema. He was born in St Petersburg to a wealthy family, but they had to flee their home during the Russian revolution in 1917. Huene spent time in England before moving to Paris, where he was employed to create photographs for Vogue and Vanity Fair and rapidly established himself as a visual innovator, fusing elements of neoclassicism and surrealism to create chic, arresting images. In 1935, Huene joined Harper¿s Bazaar magazine, where he remained a contributor until 1946, following which he settled in California and embarked on a second career as a colour coordinator for Hollywood films. Supported by an international exhibition opening at Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo, this book combines elegant design and production values with rigorous new research and scholarship. Organized into eight chapters, each supported by texts by contributing writers from the worlds of fashion, cinema and photography, and featuring names and faces that have defined our view of style, glamour and grace in the 20th century, it reminds us of Huene¿s position among the greats of photography.

Celebrating the stories, culture and communities of the East End's greatest pubs - before they vanish. In the last decade, London's East End has seen some of the highest rates of pub closures in Britain. Once bastions of the local community, where neighbors living cheek-by-jowl could convene over a pint, the traditional East End pub is in danger of becoming a relic. It's time to halt the tide and celebrate these great pubs so we don't lose them forever. From wet led backstreet boozers to gastropubs serving local produce and craft ale, this book celebrates the rich histories, snug bars, welcoming Guv'nors, florid carpets, loyal punters and inventive landladies of these unique and cherished institutions.

Verborgen, verblasst und verrostet finden sich am Straßenrand Schilder, die in Schrift und assoziativen Bildern ihren Bezug zur Realität verloren haben - als seien sie in der Landschaft vergessen worden. Die Fotografin Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek hat diese aus der Zeit gefallenen Überreste in Ibiza aufgespürt und zeigt sie in einer poetischen Fotopublikation als Reminiszenz an das Vergangene.Ein Mann mit Hut eilt über den Zebrastreifen, ein Mädchen mit Zöpfen auf dem Schulweg, Hinweise auf längst geschlossene Restaurants, Piktogramme von lange aus dem Verkehr gezogenen Automobilen: Mit ihrer Kamera erlöst Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek die veralteten Schilder Ibizas aus ihrem Zustand des Unbeachtet Seins. Die Fotografien enthüllen sowohl die humor- als auch kunstvolle Seite, die Zeit und Witterung hinterlassen haben. Ein fotografisches Kleinod über die Vergänglichkeit.

This is how the knitting begins to get my mind focused on goals throughout the year. This book encourages me to continue to work with tutors, coaches, classmates and/or lead as a parent, by showing up for college courses when possible. It could be showing up for each shift as well as continuing education, because after all, this is a book to keep up to par on endeavors instead of continue to want to do so much when these goals are in progress somehow, through the efforts presented through each photo, correct?

In Hiking New Mexico's Chaco Canyon, James C. Wilson wrote a guidebook for hiking and camping in Chaco Canyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northwestern New Mexico that the Zuñi, Hopi, Acoma and other Pueblos consider their ancestral homeland. New Mexico's Chaco Canyon: Photographing the Ancient City is intended to be a guidebook for amateur photographers wanting to photograph the canyon and its spectacular ruins. The volume offers tips on where, when, and sometimes how to photograph the ruins of the ancient stone city that dates from about 860 to 1200 A.D. Wilson takes you on a tour of the Great Houses in the canyon, including Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl (with 650 and 500 rooms respectively). Photographers will discover how images of the massive stone structures vary by angle, light, and time of day. Photographers can experiment with different lenses and camera settings, including manual and automatic, as they explore the smaller Great Houses and Casa Rinconada, the largest excavated Great Kiva in the canyon. Wilson then points out the trails of Chaco's three mesas (North, West, and South Mesa) that connect with Chaco's ancient road system. The various overlooks on the mesa trails provide spectacular views of the ruins and the red sandstone cliffs of the canyon. The colors of the wider landscape--subtle shades of pink, yellow, and gray--make for a landscape photographer's dream.

The survey began in April 1988 as interviews with artists, jewellers, fashion designers and furniture restorers, based at Old Loom House in Whitechapel, launching a quarterly review Cv Journal of Art and Crafts. Cv Journal was published to 1992 and the collection of interviews and features provided the foundation of Cv/Visual Arts Research archive and subsequent publications. Cv/VAR 154 publishes a study of Photography and Art in which authors Marina Vaizey and Anne Blood consider the historical impact of photography from pioneers Hill and Adamson, William Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre to contemporary practitioners such as Andreas Gursky and Boris Mikhailov. The documentary power and graphic clarity of the medium challenged and persuaded artists such as Degas, Sickert, Andy Warhol and Richard Hamilton, and innumerable creative voices. In their essays Marina and Anne explore the conjunctions and variations where document and dream intermingle, in a revolutionary medium which transformed the classical canons of Western tradition. The volume includes biographical details of leading figures and a guide to National Collections and study centres. of the spectacle of battle and the horrors of war and human conflict.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom global art superstar Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisèle Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers’ understanding of the land called North America.For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character—an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew. The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island is a genre-demolishing work of genius, the imagined history of a legendary figure through which profound truths emerge—a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, its present, and its possibilities.Volume One, which covers the period from the creation of the universe to the confederation of Canada, follows Miss Chief as she moves through time, from a complex lived experience of Cree cosmology to the arrival of European settlers, many of whom will be familiar to students of history. An open-hearted being, she tries to live among those settlers, and guide them to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the world itself. As their numbers grow, though, so does conflict, and Miss Chief begins to understand that the challenges posed by the hordes of newly arrived Europeans will mean ever greater danger for her, her people, and, by extension, all of the world she cherishes.Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead.

Landfall explores themes of memory and history through an exploration of the islands off the coast of Maine. Photographs and poetry explore how family and personal history is reflected in the landscape and in the objects that we imbue with meaning. In an island context these issues are condensed, as the history of each island has undergone often extreme change over relatively short periods of time. The sense of what has gone before is intensified and palpable in these isolated settings.

Questo volume costituisce l'esordio editoriale di Patricio Reig, fotografo ispano-argentino residente a Milano, e ne mette in luce un tema per lui fondamentale quale il ritratto di donna. Attraverso la sua fotografia spiega il sottile equilibrio del suo immaginario femminile: il verso come l'ovvio, il rovescio come la sua contrapposizione. Così, un volto e la nuca, il dietro e il davanti, la luce e l'ombra si incontrano per dar vita alla magia di un ritratto. Patricio Reig stampa e fissa le sue immagini su carte speciali provenienti dall'Oriente, piegate e ripiegate, e infine oggetto di un bagno di caffè e iposolfito di sodio. Il risultato raggiunto lo affascina fin dai primi esperimenti: le macchie di caffè accidentali diventano cicatrici che connotano ciascuna fotografia e, di conseguenza, ognuna delle storie raccontate. Come egli stesso afferma "un ritratto non è una registrazione unica dell'identità, ma è la stratificazione di molti altri elementi. Per tanto, l'immagine può anche essere segmentata, ricucita e persino piegata, senza perdere la sua essenza".
