Toiletpaper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art, which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.
What does it mean to create, not in "a room of one's own" but in a domestic space? Do children and genius rule each other out? In The Baby on the Fire Escape, award-winning biographer Julie Phillips traverses the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge.With fierce empathy and vivid prose, Phillips evokes the intimate struggles of brilliant artists and writers, including Doris Lessing, who had to choose between her motherhood and herself; Ursula K. Le Guin, who found productive stability in family life; Audre Lorde, whose queer, polyamorous union allowed her to raise children on her own terms and Alice Neel, who once, to finish a painting, was said to have left her baby on the fire escape of her New York apartment. A meditation on maternal identity and artistic greatness, The Baby on the Fire Escape illuminates some of the most pressing conflicts in contemporary women's lives.
Marlon Brando warf sich 1953 in eine schwarzlederne Perfecto-Biker-Jacke, hautenge Jeans und Chopper-Stiefel, setzte sich eine Fliegermütze auf und spielte in Der Wilde Johnny, den höhnischen Anführer des Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Im Jahr darauf verzichtete Tom of Finland in seinen Kunstwerken auf braunes Leder und schuf sich seine eigenen Wilden: muskulöse, hypermaskuline Rebellen , nun in schwarzes Leder gepresst und natürlich mit ordentlich PS zwischen den Beinen. Diesen Look übernahm noch im gleichen Jahr der Satyrs Motorcycle Club, der erste Club schwuler Biker - und ließ auf diese Weise Toms Fantasiewelt Wirklichkeit werden. Tom wäre natürlich nicht Tom gewesen, hätte er seinen neuen Schwulen-Ikonen keine eigene Note verliehen, indem er ihnen lederne Reithosen, kniehohe Stiefel und dazu Ledermützen verpasste und jedem Motorrad den Markennamen "Tom" auf den Tank schrieb. Toms Biker erschienen im Winter 1968 erstmals als zwei "Motorradburschen" in Physique Pictorial . Ein weiterer schaffte es auf die Titelseite der April-Ausgabe von 1960. Von da an beherrschten Biker den Inhalt von PP , sowohl in Würdigung seiner amerikanischen Leserschaft als auch infolge seiner eigenen wachsenden Besessenheit. Als er nach einer durchgängigen Figur suchte, seinem persönlichen Alter ego, erfand er 1968 Kake, den Inbegriff des Bikers in Lederkluft , und erzählte dessen wilde Geschichten in jeweils 26 Einzelbildern. Tom kleidete sich schließlich selbst wie Kake und trat bis zu seinem Lebensende in schwarzer Lederjacke, weißem T-Shirt, Jeans und hohen Stiefeln auf. The Little Book of Tom: Bikers enthält Toms früheste Werke für Physique Pictorial , Kake im Biker-Outfit und knisternd heiße Bikerbilder auf kompakten 192 Seiten - voll von harten Kerlen , die sich mit anderen harten Typen in schwarzem Leder verlustieren. Und zwar, ja, auf Motorrädern.

How photography served as both source and foil for the birth of impressionismFrom the first announcement in 1839 of the daguerreotype process at a joint meeting of the French Academy of Sciences and the Académie des Beaux-Arts, photography found itself suspended uneasily between science and the arts, a new technology that offered previously unimaginable possibilities for pictorial representation. While photography's capacity for naturalistic reproduction threatened one traditional function of painting, the camera's artificial eye could offer new models for looking at the world. In the work of pioneering photographers such as Gustave Le Gray, Eugène Cuvelier, Nadar, Atget and André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, impressionist artists such as Manet, Corot, Monet, Pissarro and Degas found new ways of seeing. The key position that photography now occupies in contemporary art has encouraged a renewed interest in photography's historical relationship to the other visual arts. The Impressionists and Photography pursues this line of research. Luxuriously produced and lavishly illustrated, this volume reexamines the lively debate that photography's emergence generated among critics and artists, and offers a critical reflection on the affinities and mutual influences between photography and painting in France in the second half of the 19th century.
This collection of striking color images from the American West is both a moving national portrait as well as a celebration of analog color photography from an undisputed genius of the form. The photographer behind Life magazine's first ever all-color photographic essay, Ernst Haas made-and captured-history as an early adapter of Kodachrome film. The Austrian-born artist had already established himself as a black and white photographer when he moved to America in 1951. But as a member of the renowned Magnum agency, he transformed the genre with his color-saturated images, the perfect medium for capturing America's geographic and cultural landscapes. From desert storms, Route 66 gas stations, and Las Vegas neon to rolling prairie, dilapidated farms, small-town parades, and city sidewalks, Haas' perfectly composed images, contain a distinct pictorial language, suffused with poetry, pattern, and light. At the same time his pictures communicate a journalist's point of view, whether the subject is rural poverty, suburban comfort, or the myth of the American West. The remarkable book offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant and reassuringly familiar.

A festival of Indian folk rituals and costumes bursting with colour, captured by renowned photographer Charles Fréger, the creator of a distinctive and powerful new genre of portrait photography. Internationally renowned photographer Charles Fréger continues to explore global traditions and cultures, by celebrating the powerful visual aspects of Indian folk culture and religious ritual. India is the home to a myriad of local traditions, legends and religions, each with their own festivals, rites and rituals. Celebrations burst with vivid colours and often wildly exuberant costumes, some representing gods and goddesses, others legendary heroes from Sanskrit epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. In Charles Fréger's photographs, those who honour local cultural traditions are represented in single or group portraits, represented against carefully chosen landscapes and backdrops, from the heart of festivals and celebrations. Fréger's unmistakable style of portraiture allows us to admire the complexity of their adornments - masks and headdresses, costumes and body paint - and to consider the abundance of imagination that expresses India's countless stories and characters, both human and divine. This spectacular gathering of warrior figures, deities, musicians, tigers, mahouts, epic characters and their avatars is accompanied by texts setting the huge variety of eclectic costumes in context, and describing the local festivals and rituals. This compelling sequence of new portraits will enthral those with an interest in folk traditions, as well as the followers of this internationally acclaimed photographer.
