‎ROBERT DOISNEAU : MUSIC‎

‎, Flammarion (Thames), 2018 Hardcover, 191 pages, ENG, 250 x 195 x 25 mm, NEW, sharp photos in b/w. ISBN 9782080203748.‎

‎With camera in hand, master photographer Robert Doisneau crisscrossed Paris to capture intimate moments with star musicians such as Eartha Kitt in a jazz club, Django Reinhardt at home, and Yehudi Menuhin backstage, or with locals at a neighborhood dance or jamming together in a brass band. He was commissioned for portraits of Georges Brassens, Juliette Gr co, Charles Aznavour, or Claude Fran ois, and he immortalized a new generation of musicians in the 1980s including Rita Mitsouko, Les N gresses Vertes, Pierre Schaeffer, and Pierre Boulez. Doisneau's lifelong friend Maurice Baquet with his cello formed a photogenic duo on impromptu outings that gave rise to iconic images. Doisneau's passion for the energy and joy inherent in the music world comes alive on the page in images that cover the musical spectrum, from classical and jazz to be-bop to the roots of modern rap and alternative rock. This book?curated by the photographer's granddaughter to accompany an exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris that will include music by Moriarty and scenography by Stephan Zimmerli? features more than one hundred photographs, many previously unpublished, that showcase the artist's mastery in editing, special effects, photomontage, collage, photo distortions, and splits.‎

‎Erik Andriesse (1957-1993) is bekend geworden door zijn schilderijen en tekeningen van bloemen, schedels en dierenskeletten. Als wonderkind al baarde hij opzien met zijn minuscule erotische tekeningen. Onder andere ge nspireerd door de New Yorkse graffitikunstenaars van de jaren tachtig en het Duitse neo-expressionisme, werd zijn manier van schilderen en tekenen explosief van karakter. Deze monografie beschrijft Andriesses ontwikkeling van wonderkind en twijfelende jonge kunstenaar tot schilder pur sang, wiens werken de kijker nog altijd fascineren door hun macabere uitgelatenheid en tomeloze energie.‎

‎, Pandora - Snoeck - Ducaju & zoon,, 1998 Gebonden in linnen met stofomslag, 280pp, illustraties. ISBN 9053250263.‎

‎Brussel kruispunt en smeltkroes van het fin de siecle. Studie over de cultuur in Brussel, in de periode 1870-1914, toen een centrum van vernieuwing in literatuur, theater, muziek, beeldende kunst en architectuur van Europa. Het symbolisme, de Arts and Crafts-beweging en de Art Nouveau hadden er belangrijke wortels. De auteurs, uit verschillende disciplines, bespreken deze bloeitijd tegen de achtergrond van de industrialisatie en koloniale expansie, de uitbreiding van de stad Brussel, de sociale spanningen en de opkomst van een nieuwe klasse van opdrachtgevers, de rijke industrielen. Er is veel aandacht voor bekende kunstenaars als Henry van de Velde, maar het boek biedt ook verrassingen zoals het prachtige werk van de minder bekende Ferdinand Khnopff, dat hier (terecht) ruim belicht wordt. Een wat stroef lezend, maar diepgravend en boeiend naslagwerk, met bio- en bibliografie en index. De schitterende platen (197 in kleur, waarvan 59 paginagroot, en 113 in zwart-wit) maken het ook tot een mooi kijkboek over deze periode. (Biblion recensie, Hildelies Balk.) ‎

‎, Gestalten Verlag, 2021 hardcover 300 x 240 mm, 304 pages, colour illustrations, ENG. edition *Fine!!. ISBN 9783899559828.‎

‎An ode to extravagant and lush interiors that are not afraid to take risks, this new design movement proves that when it comes to bold colors and rich detailing, more is always more. A 21st-century take on sumptuous interiors is sweeping through the design world, combining expressive colors and textures with unusual forms and materials. The result is a highly original interior style, a contemporary interpretation of art deco and classic 50s and 60s Hollywood film set interiors. This new maximalist aesthetic is lovingly layered with references--a welcome antidote to mid-century modernism and minimalist restraint. The House of Glam invites you into the most exciting homes, from Italy to the USA, that embody this decadent, playful trend, profiling key studios and designers at the forefront of the movement. Revealing the key insights behind this rich new spectrum of design, The House of Glam will convert even the most hardened minimalists among us.‎

‎, Gestalten, 2013 Hardcover, 24 x 28 cm, 256 pages, full color, English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9783899554854.‎

‎Illustration is no longer just illustration. Today, illustrators write and create children's picture books and graphic novels; they structure information through infographics; they design logos, fonts, and other typographical applications; they contribute to the editorial design of newspapers and magazines; they apply their talents to advertising and fashion; and they develop and produce their own products on the basis of their creations. Despite the fact that all of these activities are based on illustration, each of them has its own rules and its own specialists, tasks, and job descriptions to go along with them.‎

‎Daily Life on the Istrian Frontier. Living on a Borderland in the Sixteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardcover with dusjacket, VIII+232 p., 6 b/w ill., 2 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English . ISBN 9782503551869.‎

‎The Istrian peninsula, located at the head of the Adriatic Sea, has long been a land of divisions. Shared today between the modern-day countries of Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, the region during the sixteenth century was divided between an urban coastline dominated by the Republic of Venice and a rural inland that fell under the sway of the Austrian Habsburgs. The subject populations of the peninsula - predominantly Slavic Croatians and Slovenians - thus found themselves split between these rival powers, despite their shared cultural background. The result was frequent and violent clashes over boundary markers, pastures, and forests, which, added to the ravages of war, famine, and plague, led to a severe regional depopulation. This volume also explores the arrival and subsequent social impact of a new wave of immigrants to Istria set against the backdrop of these sixteenth-century tensions. The fearsome Morlaks, Slavic speakers who had fled north from the Balkan hinterlands in the face of the Ottoman threat, were invited into Istria by both Venetians and Habsburgs as a way of replenishing the dwindling population. These new arrivals lived an opportunistic lifestyle that often bordered on banditry, creating inevitable tensions with Istria?s existing population. Even so, some were able to integrate fully into their new homeland. Through a careful analysis of the geographically small, but socially and politically dynamic Istrian frontier, this volume sheds new light on to the complexity of life in a border region, and offers a unique insight into what life was like for ordinary people struggling to live everyday lives at the very end of the Middle Ages. Robert Kurelic received his PhD in Medieval Studies from the Central European University in Budapest. He teaches medieval history at the "Juraj Dobrila" University in Pula, Croatia.‎

‎MARCEL DUCHAMP.‎

‎, Koenig Verlag, 2022 hardcover+booklet + slipcase, 330 x 250 mm, 254 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9783906915517.‎

‎Marcel Duchamp, the artist's first legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonn , was written by art historian and novelist Robert Lebel and published in French in 1959; later that same year, it was translated into English by George Heard Hamilton for Grove Press. The book was a cooperation between Lebel and Duchamp, and beyond Lebel's extensive writing and bibliography, additional chapters were authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roch and Andr Breton. The coupling of these texts with diverse archival photographs and an illustrated compendium of Duchamp's artworks delivered a complex and personal rendering of the artist's life and inner circle. For the first time since its release more than 60 years ago, this landmark publication is back in circulation with Hauser & Wirth Publishers' meticulous facsimile of the English edition, reflecting everything from its hand-tipped images to its recto-verso dust jacket appearing as close to the original as possible. Fully authorized by artist Jean-Jacques Lebel--Robert Lebel's son--and the Association Marcel Duchamp, the facsimile is accompanied by a supplement volume of essays and archival material that tells the story of Duchamp and Lebel's close collaboration, and, as contributor Michael Taylor writes, how the original publication signified a sea change in the artist's receptivity to critical interpretation. The supplement includes texts by both Robert and Jean-Jacques Lebel and a newly discovered note by Man Ray, among a bevy of photographs from the Lebel and Duchamp archives, extending the story presented in the 1959 edition. Robert Lebel's analysis of Duchamp's oeuvre remains fresh to this day, as does the book's design, which was personally supervised by the artist. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimated Marcel Duchamp with the curatorial-design firm fluid, who recast the original typefaces as digital fonts, positioning each letter and image exactly as it was in the original. To achieve a near-exact facsimile, fluid consulted with paper conservators and printers to recreate the book with modern materials that match those available in 1959. This precise production quality assures that today's readers will experience this historic book as Marcel Duchamp and Robert Lebel intended.‎

‎Mapplethorpe - The Complete Flowers‎

‎, teNeues, 2006 Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 390 x 285 x 35 mm, dustjacket, in New condition !!, Full Page Photographs in sharp colours and b/w!. ISBN 9783832791681.‎

‎The theme of flowers is woven throughout Robert Mapplethorpe's oeuvre, coming to signify some of his deepest concerns as an artist. The photographs in "Flowers" range from images of the early 1980s to many taken in the months just before his death. The latter, in particular, are astounding in their intensity; here one finds both erotic drama and absolute clarity of composition - Mapplethorpe's gift at its most bold and uncompromising. Only a fraction of Robert Mapplethorpe's color flowers have been published or exhibited. This book, exquisitely designed and produced, is destined to become a crucial part of his legacy.‎
