‎his very first letter sketch in 1876 until his last paintings in 1890. In many paintings, most of which are now considered to be key works in his oeuvre, he addressed the paradoxical task of representing night through color. Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night presents new insight on Van Goghs depictions of the twilight and dark hours, and is the first volume to focus on this aspect of the artists career. This book explores the different layers of content of these works: tradition and modernity, rest at the end of the day, the cycles of nature and rural labour, the poetry of the night, and artistic and literary influences. It also discusses in depth the stylistic and technical methods Van Gogh used to realize his effects of dark and light. This publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the MOMA in New York (from the 21st of September 2008 until the 5th of January 2009) and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (from the 13rd February until the 7th of June 2009).

‎Day and night, love and hate, calm and chaos, conscious and unconscious. Explore Louise Bourgeois's world of tensions and extremes in this striking new book dedicated to one of the most influential artists of the past century. Bourgeois (France/USA 1911-2010) is renowned for her fearless exploration of human relationships across a relentlessly inventive seven-decade career. Featuring more than 200 images of Bourgeois's work, a selection of her writings and dream recordings, and new perspectives on her work by filmmaker Jane Campion and writer Chris Kraus, this book reveals the extraordinary reach and intensity of her art. From her haunting Personage sculptures of the 1940s to her iconic spiders and tough yet tender textile works of the 1990s and 2000s, Louise Bourgeois: Has the day invaded the night or has the night invaded the day? is an essential guide to this singular artist and an exploration of the polarities at the heart of her art. This publication accompanies a major exhibition of Bourgeois's art presented at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and documents its dramatic presentation in the renowned post-industrial gallery called the Tank. It features further texts by exhibition curator Justin Paton, Bourgeois expert Philip Larratt Smith and psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster, and a richly illustrated chronology of the artist's life.‎

‎The Occupation Trilogy: La Place de l'Étoile – The Night Watch – Ring Roads.‎

‎ Bloomsbury, 2015, in-8°, xi-340 pp, preface by William Boyd, reliure éditeur, jaquette illustrée, bon état. Texte en anglais‎

‎Born at the close of World War II, 2014 Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano was a young man in his twenties when he burst onto the Parisian literary scene with these three brilliant, angry novels about the wartime Occupation of Paris. The epigraph to his first novel, among the first to seriously question Nazi collaboration in France, reads: "In June 1942 a German officer goes up to a young man and says: 'Excuse me, monsieur, where is La Place de l'Étoile?' The young man points to the star on his chest." The second novel, The Night Watch, tells the story of a young man caught between his work for the French Gestapo, his work for a Resistance cell, and the black marketeers whose milieu he shares. Ring Roads recounts a son's search for his Jewish father who disappeared ten years earlier, whom he finds trying to weather the war in service to unsavory characters. Together these three brilliant, almost hallucinatory evocations of the Occupation attempt to exorcise the past by exploring the morally ambiguous worlds of collaboration and resistance. Award-winning translator Frank Wynne has revised the translations of The Night Watch and Ring Roads – long out of print – for our current day, and brings La Place de l'Étoile into English for the first time. The Occupation Trilogy provides the perfect introduction to one of the world's greatest writers. — La Place de l'Étoile : En exergue de cet étonnant récit, une histoire juive : "Au mois de juin 1942, un officier allemand s'avance vers un jeune homme et lui dit : Pardon, monsieur, où se trouve la place de l'Étoile ? Le jeune homme désigne le côté gauche de sa poitrine." Voici, annoncé en quelques lignes, ce qui anime le roman : l'inguérissable blessure raciale. Le narrateur, Raphaël Schlemilovitch, est un héros hallucinatoire. À travers lui, en trajets délirants, mille existences qui pourraient être les siennes passent et repassent dans une émouvante fantasmagorie. Mille identités contradictoires le soumettent au mouvement de la folie verbale où le Juif est tantôt roi, tantôt martyr et où la tragédie la plus douloureuse se dissimule sous la bouffonnerie. Ainsi voyons-nous défiler des personnages réels ou fictifs : Maurice Sachs et Otto Abetz, Lévy-Vendôme et le docteur Louis-Ferdinand Bardamu, Brasillach et Drieu la Rochelle, Marcel Proust et les tueurs de la Gestapo française, le capitaine Dreyfus et les amiraux pétainistes, Freud, Rebecca, Hitler, Eva Braun et tant d'autres, comparables à des figures de carrousels tournant follement dans l'espace et le temps. Mais la place de l'Étoile, le livre refermé, s'inscrit au centre exact de la "capitale de la douleur". — The Night Watch (La ronde de nuit) : Comment devenir traître, comment ne pas l'être ? C'est la question que se pose le héros du récit qui travaille en même temps pour la Gestapo française et pour un réseau de résistance. Cette quête angoissée le conduit au martyre, seule échappatoire possible. Par ce livre étonnant, tendre et cruel, Modiano tente d'exorciser le passé qu'il n'a pas vécu. Il réveille les morts et les entraîne au son d'une musique haletante, dans la plus fantastique ronde de nuit. — Ring Roads (Les Boulevards de ceinture) : Le narrateur part à la recherche de son père. Le voici dans un village, en bordure de la forêt de Fontainebleau, du temps de l'occupation, au milieu d'individus troubles. Qui est ce père ? Trafiquant ? Juif traqué ? Pourquoi se trouve-t-il parmi ces gens ? Jusqu'au bout le narrateur poursuivra ce père fantomatique. Avec tendresse. ‎
