Dès l'invention du premier procédé de photographie, la daguerréotype, il apparaît évident que la nouvelle découverte doit être mise au service de l'archéologie, et remplacer désormais le dessin ou la gravure. Très vite, les vues des monuments se multiplient et les sites archéologiques italiens, fréquentés depuis deux siècles par les voyageurs du « Grand Tour », deviennent(...)

Summary:
Dès l'invention du premier procédé de photographie, la daguerréotype, il apparaît évident que la nouvelle découverte doit être mise au service de l'archéologie, et remplacer désormais le dessin ou la gravure. Très vite, les vues des monuments se multiplient et les sites archéologiques italiens, fréquentés depuis deux siècles par les voyageurs du « Grand Tour », deviennent un motif de prédilection des photographes, en particulier des frères Alinari, qui, en 1854, ont créé à Florence leur atelier de reproductions d'art. Du nord au sud de l'Italie, de Suse à Ségeste, ils nous font découvrir l'immense amphitéâtre de Vérone, Rome, mille et mille fois glorifiée, entre Palatin, Forum et Colisée, la villa Hadriana et le temple de la Sibylle à Tivoli, les vestiges d'Herculanum, et surtout Pompéi, qui dévoile son immensité, ses intérieurs décorés, ses morts aussi, figés dans l'éternité. Dans le sud, ils montrent Paestum et ses temples immergés dans la solitude, les sites de Sicile, plus sauvages encore... Des images singulières, tout à la fois porteuses d'informations et d'émotion, entre décor antique « authentique » et cadre pittoresque du XIXe siècle, qui sont les premières représentations de ces lieux qu'aujourd'hui nous parcourons en touristes aisés, guide et appareil photo en main, trop rarement seuls. Outre les frères Alinari, d'autres photographes, italiens mais aussi anglais, allemands, français, ont fixé ces ruines et figurent dans ce livre : Brogi, Crupi, Caneva, Anderson, Graham, Macpherson, von Gloeden, Flachéron... Préface de Charles-Henri Favrod.

Summary:
John Ruskin was an influential English art critic and social thinker of the Victorian era, who famously argued that the principal concern of the artist is “truth to nature.” For Ruskin, this truth entailed more than merely adept technical representation, but rather, should depict the natural world as mankind experiences it, with all the sensations of both beauty and(...)

Summary:
John Ruskin was an influential English art critic and social thinker of the Victorian era, who famously argued that the principal concern of the artist is “truth to nature.” For Ruskin, this truth entailed more than merely adept technical representation, but rather, should depict the natural world as mankind experiences it, with all the sensations of both beauty and terror it elicits. Today, in a world overwhelmed by industrial development and environmental uncertainty, contemporary artists are discovering new beauties and terrors associated with nature, invoking a sense of the sublime that is uniquely modern. "Landscapes after Ruskin" explores how a joyful experience of nature is now mixed with a particular dread as the earth and its atmosphere are increasingly touched by human activity.

Summary:
The film "Il deserto rosso" (The Red Desert) by Michelangelo Antonioni, produced in the industrial region around Ravenna, Italy, in 1964, is considered one of the most important works in contemporary film history. Because of its innovative use of color, uncomfortably slow pacing, and existential environment, the film has long held appeal to filmmakers, artists, and photographers. As a response to the film, a joint endeavor between the students at the Academy of fine Arts, Leipzig, led by artists and professors Joachim Brohm and Anna voswinckel, with the photo initiatives Linea di Confine and Osservatorio fotografico, Italy, were asked to create an exhibition of living photographers influenced by the film. The catalog features more than thirty photographers, all associated in some way with the university and photo initiatives. The photographers were asked to provide their reaction to the film along with their associated images. The project was then exhibited at SK Stiftung Kultur (Cologne, September 2017January 2018). Among the featured artists are Joachim Brohm, Guido Guidi, Valentina Seidel, and Francesco Neri.

From the middle of the 19th century, images of the West have continuously played a significant role in defining the ways the region is perceived not only within America but around the world. "Eye on the West" presents the work of seventeen contemporary photographers of the West, including David Plowden, Laura McPhee, Miguel Gandert, Karen Halverson, Toba Tucker, Richard Buswell, John Willis, David Ottenstein, Lauren Henkin, and Will Wilson. Beautiful reproductions of 34 photographs are accompanied by brief essays by George Miles and by the artists themselves, contributing to multiple conversations about how visual art continues to reflect and shape our understanding of Western American society, culture, and politics.

Summary:
This volume provides one of the first overviews of Japanese photography to be published in English. Drawing on extensive research, Lena Fritsch traces the development of Japanese photography chronologically, from the severity of post-war Realism to the diverse ingenuity of photography in contemporary Japan. Interspersed are original interviews with some of the most influential photographers of each era, including Daido Moriyama. ''Ravens and Red Lipstick'' offers a survey of Japanese photography's recent history. Fritsch masterfully frames each movement with their business, education, and art-institutional backdrops- she shows the consumerism and intense political debates of 1960s and '70s Japan, for example, to be central to the rough style of the ''Provoke'' artists.

Hundreds were built across the country, from coastal resorts to remote mountains. Through these imaginative forms of concrete and steel, a classless, forward-looking socialist society, free of ethnic tensions, was envisaged. Instead of looking to the ideologically aligned Soviet Union for artistic inspiration, Tito turned to the West and works of abstract expressionism and minimalism. This allowed Yugoslavia to develop its own distinct identity through the monuments, turning them into political tools, articulating Tito's personal vision of a new tomorrow.

Brutal concrete hotels, futurist TV towers, heroic statues of workers—this collection of Soviet-era postcards documents the uncompromising landscape of the Eastern Bloc through its buildings and monuments. These are interspersed with quotes from prominent figures of the time, which both support and confound the ideologies presented in the images. In contrast to the photographs of a ruined and abandoned Soviet empire we are accustomed to seeing today, the scenes depicted here publicize the bright future of communism: social housing blocks, palaces of culture and monuments to comradeship. Dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, they offer a nostalgic yet revealing insight into social and architectural values of the time, acting as a window through which we can examine cars, people and, of course, buildings. These postcards, sanctioned by the authorities, were intended to show the world what living in communism looked like.
