‎EDWARD STEICHEN : the Luxembourg bequest‎

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2022 Hardcover, 464 pages, ENG, 300 x 240 mm, NEW, more than 250 illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788836651559.‎

‎In March 1985, the National Museum of Luxembourg unexpectedly received a generous bequest from the estate of Edward Steichen, the Luxembourg-born and world-renowned American photographer. The bequest comprises a total of 178 prints, including 175 photographs by Steichen himself that cover almost all aspects of his photographic oeuvre - from the pictorialist images of his early years to portraiture, fashion, advertising, landscapes, and family photographs. For the first time, this extraordinary collection is presented in a comprehensive scholarly manner, with full-page illustrations of all 178 photographs. In addition, the publication includes six new essays by five authors that deal with questions of identification, techniques, and dating of the prints as well as their conservation and preservation. They examine the provenance and impact history of the collection and compare the significance of the Luxembourg donation with other bequests made at the same time to institutions in the United States and overseas. The significance of the astonishingly large number of family photographs in the Luxembourg bequest and Steichen's special role as a mediator of Modernism between Europe and the New World are also explored.‎

‎Douglas Kirkland is the legendary photographer who captured the Hollywood elite. Kirkland has been at the cutting edge of fashion, photojournalism and portraiture, working for the world's most reputable magazines for more than 50 years. As a young photographer in 1961 he was assigned to shoot Marilyn Monroe over several hours in a closed studio one night, and he captured a stunning portfolio of alluring and intimate images that survive to this day as a testament to her beauty and vulnerability. Kirkland was born in Toronto, Canada and started out as an assistant to Irving Penn when he first moved to New York at the age of 24. After an early stint working for Look Magazine, he joined Life Magazine as a staff photographer. He worked there in the '60s and '70s - an era often referred to as the golden age of photojournalism. Known for his charming and gentle attitude, Kirkland has served as the only photographer on the sets of hundreds of films, from The Sound of Music to Titanic. His extensive archive of A-list portraits includes Elizabeth Taylor, Coco Chanel, Jack Nicholson, John Travolta, Michael Jackson, Brigitte Bardot, Andy Warhol, Naomi Campbell and Nicole Kidman.‎

‎The long-neglected seventeenth-century Flemish artist Michael Sweerts has been described by art historians as an "enigmatic Dutch Le Nain". Nothing is known about him from the time of his birth in Brussels until his arrival in Rome at the age of twenty-eight. This book traces Sweerts' artistic development: his years in Rome, his return to Brussels to found a drawing academy, his subsequent move to Amsterdam, and finally his decision, towards the end of his life, to join a French missionary society and travel to the Far East.Sweerts' idiosyncratic methods reveal a continual struggle to reconcile the academic principles he so willingly adopted with the Dutch art of his Netherlandish contemporaries in Rome, especially the Bamboccianti. He seems to have been constantly influenced by French art as well, in particular by the Le Nain school. After his return to Brussels, elements typical of Flemish portraiture can be seen in his work, and his subsequent stay in Holland exposed him to contemporary Dutch tastes in portrait painting, to which he increasingly devoted himself. In later years his religious fervour hampered his ability to function in society and perhaps had an adverse effect on his artistic output as well. His constant vacillation between accepted schools - academicism versus genre painting, for example - eventually led him to develop an eclectic but alluring style which was all his own. ‎

‎In the annals of Native American history, there have been some formidable women who fought fearlessly in battle, served as committed leaders, undertook dangerous journeys and saved lives. Here are five of the most powerful and influential Native American women of all time: Nanye-hi (Nancy Ward): Beloved Woman of the Cherokee Nanye-hi was born into the Cherokee Wolf clan circa 1738. In 1755, she stood by her husband during a fight against the Creeks, chewing the lead for bullets in order to provide his ammunition with deadly ridges. When her husband was fatally shot, Nanye-hi grabbed a rifle, rallied her fellow fighters and entered the battle herself. With her on their side, the Cherokee won the day. These actions led to Nanye-hi being named Ghighau (Beloved Woman) of the Cherokee, a powerful position whose duties included leading the Women?s Council and sitting on the Council of Chiefs. Nanye-hi also took part in treaty talks (to the surprise of male colonists when they were on the other side of the bargaining table).‎
