At the end of the nineteenth century, as a member of the avant garde Nabis group, Pierre Bonnard actively participated in the construction of aesthetic modernity. His painting proposed new, radical formulas for transforming space and narrative as he advocated for art that embraced all techniques and challenged the traditional hierarchy of genres. Elegantly packaged, and filled with large, full-colour, high quality reproductions this volume covers every facet of Bonnard's creative work.

Haas' most cherished and personal project originally conceived as an audiovisual slideshow is recreated here in stunning color that will delight his numerous fans as well as anyone interested in Kodachrome photography.
Three decades after its completion, Haas' most personal and least-known project is now available for the first time in this exquisitely produced book. Presented in a clean and spare design, this volume features reproductions of superb quality that allow readers to appreciate his mastery of color, light, and composition, and his ability to capture the mystery of daily life.
For this collection Haas drew on images made in all phases of his career from 1952 to 1984, and, despite the title, most of these photographs are not abstract but rather clear, focused, well-exposed images of recognizable surfaces from the observable world around him: crumbling paint, graphic road markings, fabric, liquids, detritus, decay, and torn posters. David Campany's eloquent introductory essay lays the groundwork for a deep appreciation of the slideshow which, in book form, can be savored and understood in an entirely new way. -
Helmut Newton was in his sixties and already a well-established photographer when he and his wife moved to the French Riviera. At an age when many people would consider retirement, Newton instead plunged headfirst into one of the most prolific and liberating stages of his career.
The city of Monaco was the perfect backdrop for his fashion photography, and it also provided him with a wealth of subjects for his famous portraits, including the stars of the Ballet de Monte-Carlo and the Princely Family. And it was in Monaco that Newton finally tried his hand at landscapes. While this volume focuses primarily on the years 1981 to 2004, it also looks at Newton's historic links with the Cote d'Azur and the area around Bordighera, Italy. There are essays by a range of experts in photography, film, and art and three interviews, including one with Paloma Picasso.
In these remarkable photographs readers will discover the French Riviera through Newton's fascinated, slightly ironic lens: a way of life characterized by ease and elegance; a world dominated by appearance and superficiality; and a veritable living theater, in which he was both actor and privileged member of the audience. -
Photographer Anders Petersen was hanging out at a dive bar on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg in 1968 when someone grabbed his camera from the table where he was sitting and started taking pictures. Petersen used the opportunity to photograph the culprit-and the rest of the bar's motley crew of patrons.
The resulting project is one of the most revered photobooks of all time, a celebration of a gritty city at the tail end of the sixties, and the cornerstone of Petersen's storied career. The images have become classics of their genre; Tom Waits used one for the cover of his legendary album Rain Dogs. Their candidness and authenticity remain as eloquent today as when they were first published in 1978.
This sumptuously produced reissue features a new foreword by Waits, and is certain to find a new audience, who will appreciate the stunning analog photography and its elegiac collective portrait of the fringes of society. -
The most wide-ranging and up-to-date volume available on the enigmatic and controversial graffiti artist, this deeply researched and highly personal tribute explores how Banksy continues to defy accepted wisdom about artistic success, growing only more famous and powerful even as he sticks to his anti-establishment platform and to his mission to give a voice to the voiceless.
Accompanied by stunning full-page, full-color reproductions and photographs of works in situ-including many that have been lost to time -photographer and street art expert Alessandra Mattanza's impassioned and informed text follows Banksy's career trajectory from creator of message-laden stencils on London's city walls to a sought-after champion of human and environmental rights. She investigates many of the key images that populate Banksy's work-animals, children, historic figures, balloons, cartoon characters, police officers, and others. She shows how Banksy's oeuvre has expanded beyond graffiti and stenciling and how his art has helped support his activism in a variety of causes-from calls for peace in the Middle East to the preservation of the natural environment. Best of all she helps readers make sense of the rather unusual path Banksy has chosen-an artist who uses his global platform to raise awareness about the underserved, rather than to his own celebrity. Readers will come away with a new understanding of how Banksy helped transform an illegal act of criminal damage into a high art form, and how, by ridiculing institutionalized art, he has achieved enormous fame within those very institutions.

Gregory Crewdson (*1962, Brooklyn) est l'un des photographes les plus renommés au monde. Depuis le milieu des années 1980, Crewdson utilise le décor des petites villes américaines et des plateaux de tournage pour créer, tel un réalisateur, des photographies techniquement brillantes et colorées séduisantes qui se concentrent sur l'isolement humain et les abîmes de la société. Les scènes énigmatiques soulèvent de manière auto-réflexive des questions sur la frontière entre réalité et fiction, mais peuvent également être liées à des développements sociopolitiques. La rétrospective de l'ALBERTINA comprend au total neuf groupes d'oeuvres, créés au cours des trois dernières décennies et demie et conçus en série. En commençant par ses premiers travaux (1986-1988), l'exposition comprend les séries les plus connues de Crewdson telles que Twilight (1998-2002), qui dépeint des scènes façonnées par le langage cinématographique, dans lesquelles des personnes sont confrontées à des phénomènes inexplicables dans leur vie quotidienne. Les scènes impressionnantes et mystérieuses à grande échelle de la série Beneath the Roses (2003-2008) traitent de l'isolement et de l'aliénation des gens par rapport à leur environnement. Le groupe d'oeuvres le plus récemment achevé, Eveningside (2021-2022), dépeint une image non héroïque d'une petite ville fictive du même nom en noir et blanc atmosphérique. Après Cathedral of the Pines (2013-2014) et An Eclipse of Moths (2018-2019), Eveningside représente le dernier volet d'une trilogie à travers laquelle l'artiste interroge le déclin social d'une société très éloignée du rêve américain.

Widely considered Japan's most influential and prolific photographer, Daido Moriyama has been challenging conventions of the art form for more than a half century. This exhaustive and electrifying retrospective, published in cooperation with the Daido Moriyama Foundation and based on entirely new research, looks at every stage of Moriyama's extensive career, including his extraordinary images as well as his conceptual contributions to photography.
One of a generation of postwar Japan's groundbreaking artists, Moriyama has continually established his own visual grammar.
This book features more than 250 chronologically arranged images that reveal his constantly evolving career: his early editorial work of the mid-1960s, focused on the American occupation and the experimental theater; his radical experimentation of late 1960s and the 1970s; the self-reflexive photos of the 1980s and 1990s; and his ongoing exploration of cities, among other relevant moments. It also includes more than 400 spread reproductions of Moriyama's rarely seen publications, mapping the sources of his visual production.
Rounding out the volume are texts by the editor and leading Japanese scholars, a personal essay by the artist, and a full chronology of his life and work.
Accompanying a major exhibition on Moriyama's output, this impressive volume reframes Moriyama's legacy and is certain to become the definitive publication on his work. -
Après quelques années passées à étudier la mode, Viviane Sassen se tourne rapidement vers la photographie où elle se forme à la Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). Dès la fin de ses études, elle alterne entre projets personnels et commandes commerciales. Son style photographique - aux couleurs intenses, aux jeux graphiques sur l'ombre et la lumière ainsi que le regard singulier qu'elle porte sur les corps - est rapidement plébiscité. Sassen acquiert une renommée internationale, aussi bien dans la sphère de la mode qu'au sein des institutions culturelles. Un ouvrage de plus de 400 pages, mêlant essais et photographies, sera publié à l'occasion de cette exposition aux éditions Prestel et en collaboration avec la MEP. La conception du livre est assurée par la graphiste néerlandaise Irma Boom.

En 1952, le magazine américain Life demande à Ernst Haas de travailler en couleur sur New York, alors que le photographe expérimente depuis quelques temps déjà avec cette nouveauté encore très difficile à manier techniquement. Il photographie alors la ville dont il a rêvé quand il était jeune garçon, subissant le trauma de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale dans une famille juive autrichienne. Ces images, rassemblées dans ce livre, marqueront tout une génération de photographes amateurs et contribueront à faire changer la perception de la couleur en photographie.

If you were a graffiti writer in 1980s New York City, you wanted Martha Cooper to document your work-and she probably did. Cooper has spent decades immortalizing art that is often overlooked, and usually illegal. Her first book, 1984's Subway Art (a collaboration with Henry Chalfant), is affectionately referred to by graffiti artists as the "bible". To create Spray Nation, Cooper and editor Roger Gastman pored through hundreds of thousands of 35mm Kodachrome slides, painstakingly selecting and digitizing them. The photos range from obscure tags to intimate portraits, action shots, walls, and subway cars painted inside and out. They are accompanied by heartfelt essays celebrating Cooper's drive, spirit, and singular vision. The images capture a gritty New York era that is gone forever. And although the original pieces (as well as many of their creators) have been lost, these resplendent photos feel as immediate and powerful as a subway train thundering down the tracks.

World-renowned for her work during the Weimar period, Hannah Hoech was a pioneer in many aspects, both artistic and cultural. She was the lone woman of the Berlin Dada movement - the riotous form of art that deconstructed sound, language, and images to re-assemble them into new objects, texts and meanings. Hoech was a pivotal force in the development of collage, paving the way for today's ubiquitous image editing techniques. A determined believer in women's rights, Hoech questioned conventional concepts of partnership, beauty and the making of art, her work presenting acute critiques of racial and social stereotypes, particularly that of her native Germany.
Focusing on Hoech's collages, this book examines the artist's career from the 1920s to the 1970s, charting her oeuvre from early works influenced by fashion and mass media, through to her later compositions of lyrical abstraction. It reveals her rapid development of a personal style, which was both humorous and often moving, but also offered critical commentary on society at a time of tremendous social change. Included are essays that examine themes such as the concept of the "New Woman" and the legacy of German colonialism. Featuring international scholarship on a groundbreaking artist, this volume brings together important source texts and reference material, which were first translated into English for the original edition of this book.

Featuring striking photography by an expert in the field, this exploration of Japanese Brutalist architecture celebrates the surprising beauty and grace of buildings forged in concrete.
Emerging in the devastating aftermath of World War II, Brutalist architecture in Japan is characterized by its geometric shapes, functionality, and unconventional use of concrete--which is often left unfinished to showcase the material's inherent textures and imperfections. Japanese Brutalism represented a radical depar -
A rocky coast along the Sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging from moving clouds and water-these are a few images from this remarkable collection of photographs by Michael Kenna, whose black-and-white work is highly renowned. Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, is organized into chapters simply titled, "Sea," "Land," "Trees," "Spirit," and "Sky." The quietly evocative photographs, often paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa and others, provide a contemplative portrait of a country better-known for its energy and industry. Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna's traditional black-and-white silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa and Shikoku.

Le design d'intérieur était extrêmement important pour Gustav Klimt et plusieurs de ses peintures ont été créées pour des décors ou des espaces spécifiques. Cet aspect de la pratique de Klimt prend vie dans ce livre qui illustre comment certaines des toiles les plus célèbres de l'artiste ont intégré la décoration de salles à manger et salons privés, de galeries, de musées et d'espaces d'exposition publics. Des reproductions en couleur de peintures de Klimt sont juxtaposées à des photographies vintages en noir et blanc des intérieurs. Des essais de Tobias Natter, spécialiste de Klimt, accompagnent chaque image, donnant un aperçu contextuel sur la façon dont ces oeuvres ont été conçues dans le cadre de la décoration intérieure de leurs pièces et espaces respectifs, et sur les collectionneurs passionnés qui ont été les premiers commanditaires de ces pièces.

The photographer behind Life magazine's first ever all-color photographic essay, Ernst Haas made-and captured-history as an early adopter 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.
This remarkable book offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant and reassuringly familiar. -
