Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Picasso and Miro revolutionized modern art in the early 20th century. Although trained in Barcelona, it was in Paris where both were consecrated as artists. Having said that, their painting and art have their roots in two unique places in southern Catalonia: Horta de Sant Joan and Mont-Roig del Camp. French photographer Jean Marie Del Moral, son of Spanish exiles during the Civil War, has never ceased to be fascinated by the work and figures of Picasso and Miro. A connoisseur of the places where both geniuses were inspired and worked, he affirms that in Horta and Mont-Roig, Picasso and Miro found nature and popular culture in its primitive state. Del Moral believes that both artists, although they painted differently, shared the same ideas about creation, art, life and nature. Hence, he believes that the roots of their art are alike and that the similarities between the Horta and Mont-Roig landscapes are very revealing. Through his lyrical and intimate photography, Del Moral creates an imaginary dialogue between the landscapes and places that inspired Picasso and Miro. He has a perceptive and poetic gaze, heir to that of the great masters of Catalan photography such as Joaquim Gomis and Francesc Catala Roca and reminding us also of Paul Strand or Edward Weston images. Jean Marie Del Moral discovers a new Picasso and a new Miro, still original and unique but close in essence. SELLING POINTS: . A photographic journey through the Spanish landscapes that inspired Miro and Picasso. . Contains excerpts from the writing & diaries of Picasso and Miro, revealing the influence that the landscape had on their work. .

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1624, Giovanni Battista Braccelli an artist from Florence, Italy created a series of imaginary characters composed of elements like clouds, diamond shaped tiles, chains and kitchen equipment. He gave these the title Bizzarie. Thanks to Covid and the lockdown, Alejandro Magallanes decided to compensate for the lack of social contact by creating fantastical people himself too. What was once called Bizzarie now becomes a search for human contact. An artist seldom knows how the public is going to react to his work. Magallanes gave poet Tedi Lopez Mills space for creation, whereby she gave each of the characters personal attention and wrote her texts on the same page. SELLING POINTS: .

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dark, surreal scenes hidden in an iconic photographic archive of Depression-era America. Drawing from approximately 40,000 works of the Farm Security Administration Photographic Archive (193544) housed at the New York Public Library, Omen reviews and reframes this landmark project of modern American documentary photography. The monumental project features works by storied photographers such as Russell Lee, Dorothea Lange, Ben Shahn, Walker Evans, Carl Mydans, Arthur Rothstein, Gordon Parks and Jack Delano. Many of the more iconic images that arose from this initiative were instrumental in constructing a hegemonic narrative of triumph against adversity in Depression-era America. In scrutinizing the backgrounds and secondary characters of some lesser-known photographs, however, a more turbulent story emerges. Omen is co-edited by Mexican artists Leon Munoz Santini and Jorge Panchoaga, providing a fresh perspective on this quintessentially American study. The image sequence amplifies the eerie details in enlarged, stark black-and-white images, creatively cropped and abutted together to form insidious connections. These hidden stories are premonitions of the visible and invisible specters of systemic injustice that characterize American society, their cycles renewing with each successive generation. Thus, Omen at once serves as a mirror for the anguished reality of today, and as a device for reflection on how historical and documentary photography is read and understood: taking the editorial gaze to its ultimate consequences. The book includes a narrative text by novelist and poet Lucy Ives. AUTHORS: Lucy Ives is an American novelist, poet and critic. Her books include Cosmogony (Soft Skull Press, 2021), Life Is Everywhere (Graywolf Press, 2022) and The Saddest Thing Is That I Have Had to Use Words: A Madeline Gins Reader (Siglio Press, 2020). She is a professor at Brown University.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Mexican architect and painter Juan O'Gorman (190582) had a spectacular debut as an architect, designing his own house at the age of 24. On the strength of this building, Diego Rivera commissioned O'Gorman to design a pair of studio-houses for himself and Frida Kahlo on contiguous lots, connected by a bridge. But O'Gorman was somewhat forgotten in histories of modern architecture, until the restoration of Rivera's and Kahlo's house in the late 1990s led to a rediscovery of the architect's work and a reappraisal of his place in contemporary Mexican architecture. In 2013 O'Gorman's own first house, which he began designing in 1929 and completed in 1931, was restored. Uncompromisingly radical and rigorously functional, this design reveals O'Gorman as a Mexican pioneer of avant-garde architecture. Casa O'Gorman 1929 tells the story of this unique building and how it was salvaged through beautiful colour photographs.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The images of Pablo Lopez Luz are sensitive to the tensions in the urban landscape, expressing the relationship of city dwellers to their environment and, in particular, to those tensions in which the collective memory is encrypted. This is the spirit that informs the artist's photo essay about various buildings in the capital city constructed with volcanic stone, a material that evokes the massive forms of pre-Columbian architecture. The enormous metropolis, frequently shaken by seismic activity, is spread out under the gaze of Popocateptl, over 5,000 meters high, and has itself encroached on the slopes of the Ajusco, a dormant volcano lying to the south. The volcano stone known as tezontlehas been used for centuries as a construction material: the facade of the National Palace, a concretion of Mexico's pre-Columbian, colonial, and modern past, is made of it. 51 images Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Since the 1980s, Juan Travnik has been wandering through a ghostly Buenos Aires at dawn recording the blackness of the harsh urban and peripheral landscapes, empty of any human presence. Over the years, colour has become increasingly important. The moribund shades of his chromatic repertoire transmit his despondency in the face of the crisis that Argentina is currently going through. Everywhere, the changes to the walls and sidewalks, the splashes and stains here and there, the rust, the cracks and holes, the accumulation of plaster all transude a sombre anguish, bathing the city in a dismal light. AUTHOR: Juan Travnik is an Argentine photographer renowned for capturing Buenos Aires' essence and its lesser-known side through a poetic and revealing gaze. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Fashion photography occupies an unknown place, although of great importance, in Antoni Miralda's career. This book allows us to understand how influential his work was at that time. After settling in Paris, the artist began to collaborate regularly with ELLE magazine between 1964 and 1971, working on contemporary seasonal collections linked to the art world. Among the many reports carried out by Miralda for ELLE magazine there is one that stands out for the notoriety of the model who stars in it, the iconic Twiggy. Most images at the time showed models in studios, while Miralda took these models out into the street, into an uncodified and unpredictable space, requiring from the photographer and the team a decision-making process that was never entirely aprioristic. Faced with the Grand Paris of Haussmann or the Paris of museums and imposing cathedrals, Miralda prefers the blind points of historicist urbanism; popular, uncliched places with a great human density. No-Flash Fashion, with its contemporary design and its references to fashion magazines and archives, presents for the first time a detailed view of the undiscovered work of one of the most versatile and iconic artists of the twentieth century. SELLING POINTS: . Artist and restaurateur Antoni Miralda presents for the first time his 1960s fashion photography from Paris and London in a striking volume. . The boom of the 1960s was a key moment for fashion photography. . Antoni Miralda, known in the US for his experimental restaurant El Internacional, frequented by the likes of Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, David Byrne, Bianca Jagger, Lorne Michaels, Robert DeNiro, Umberto Eco and Michael Douglas, surprises us with his advanced photographic work, with references to Land Art and the Dusseldorf School of Photography. . The era of the dominance of Vogue, came to an end with the appearance of Elle, directed by Helene Lazareff, a brilliant journalist, and Peter Knapp as artistic director. It was at this time that Antoni Miralda photographed the beginning of the supermodels and the arrival of the sensational and radically different Twiggy. 100 images Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The pictorial story of a Colombian settlement that was born when a group of 30 people escaped slavery in 1599. This publication explores the origins of the Colombian town of San Basilio de Palenque, founded in 1599 by a group of formerly enslaved people. Kalabongo traverses an oral and visual history of the distant and recent past, mixing the everyday with the historical. Kalabongo offers a captivating glimpse into the rich culture and historical significance of an African American slave community on the Colombian coast, which played a pivotal role in the historic 1605 treaty with the Spanish Crown. On a night in 1599, thirty people, women and enslaved men, fled from the houses that made up the walled city of Cartagena de Indias in their search for autonomy, territory, and freedom. People still remember that the maroons flew over the land in times of struggle, confronting Spanish troops and defending the fugitive settlers, who for years inhabited mobile hamlets. In 1605, after confrontations with the Crown, they were granted a year of peace, a treaty considered the first of its kind in what is now Colombia.The struggles waged by the maroons and that year of peace were the seed and the roots of what is now San Basilio de Palenque. Kalabongo (fireflies in the Palenquero language) travel through some of the stories of the oral history of both the distant and recent past in a narrative that mixes the everyday with the historical.The stories of the villagers, as well as the images that make up Kalabongo, remind us that the night is the accomplice of the light of freedom. 88 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Estridentismo (Stridentism), a vanguard cultural movement (c. 1921) which united artists and writers in a quest for artistic innovation and social reform, became embodied in an ideal but incomplete place called Estridentopolis. A century later, Damian Ortega (b. 1967) created his own Estridentopolis (2019), a small-scale city populated by towers with skyscraper bodies and animal heads, alongside disembodied workers' garments and wrinkled, patterned collages made from repurposed commercial cement bags. Ortega's engagement with Estridentismo predates his own Estridentopolis, revealing numerous long-standing parallels in artistic practices and conditions of artmaking in Mexico that impacted the construction of both urban visions. Moreover, the historical, visual, and conceptual intersections between Ortega's Estridentopolis and its postrevolutionary antecedent - even though they were conceived decades apart and from vastly divergent perspectives - generate a productive dialogue about the conditions of Mexican modernity. 102 images Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Minerva Cueva's aesthetic practice can be situated at the interface between political action and exercises of social self-determination. Among the central themes she has addressed through her work are the commodification of natural resources all over the world, the social causes and consequences of climate change and the neoliberal mechanisms of power that exist in both the private and public realm. Cuevas works across a variety of media, including film, performance, installations and murals, whereby the process of conducting research is a key component of her artistic method.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Morelos's immersive installations aim to cultivate moments of connection with what she describes as the intimate humidity of the Earth.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Revisiting the work of an overlooked female Spanish painter who was both a friend and contemporary of Picasso and Gris This catalog offers a chronological journey through the different stages in the artistic life of the Spanish painter Maria Blanchard (18811932), who developed a unique style of Cubism in her short career. After moving to Paris in 1916, she met many Cubist artists and became close friends with Juan Gris. Her work evolved into a more figurative and traditional style over the years; her paintings became harsh, with bright clashing colors and melancholic themes. The vast body of work she left behind, including maternity scenes and domestic scenes, reflects a heartfelt concern for human vulnerability. This aspect is reinforced by a meticulous technical mastery and a keen interest in the history of European painting. Because her work was largely overlooked during her lifetime, this monograph aims to highlight the symbolic richness and innovative character inherent in her work. SELLING POINTS: . Based on a broad-ranging monographic exhibition at the Picasso Museum, Spain, of the various stages in the career of the Spanish-born painter Maria Blanchard (18811932). .

This exhibition catalog gathers an important selection of sculptures and installations from Mexican artist Damian Ortega (born 1967). Ortega contrasts the concepts of cultivation and industrialization to tell an alternative story of the Mayan myth of creation. With Jose Esparza Chong Cuy as curator, readers are taken on a guided journey through the artist's work, focusing on two concepts that function as metaphors throughout the journey: Cultivation and harvesting and industrialization processes. Reflexively, Ortega contrasts these concepts to tell an alternative story of the Mayan myth of creation - where corn is the origin of humanity - to reach the globalized post-industrial era and the chaos caused by longed-for progress. The concepts articulate the notions of energy, transformation, ecosystem and technology, the latter understood as a set of knowledge, instruments and technical resources that man has implemented to influence the world. 227 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1624, Giovanni Battista Braccelli an artist from Florence, Italy created a series of imaginary characters composed of elements like clouds, diamond shaped tiles, chains and kitchen equipment. He gave these the title Bizzarie. Thanks to Covid and the lockdown, Alejandro Magallanes decided to compensate for the lack of social contact by creating fantastical people himself too. What was once called Bizzarie now becomes a search for human contact. An artist seldom knows how the public is going to react to his work. Magallanes gave poet Tedi Lopez Mills space for creation, whereby she gave each of the characters personal attention and wrote her texts on the same page. SELLING POINTS: .
