Summary:
Fifty years ago, in 1968, barricades were erected in the streets of Paris for the first time since the Paris Commune of nearly one hundred years before. The events of May 1968 began with student protests against the Vietnam War and American imperialism, expanded to rebellion over student living conditions and resistance to capitalist consumerism. An uprising at the Sorbonne was followed by wildcat strikes across France, uniting students and workers and bringing the country's economy to a halt. There have been many accounts of these events. This book tells the story in a different way, through the graffiti inscribed by protestors as they protested.

Summary:
Le 15 mai 1968, un atelier d'affiches est créé au sein de l'École supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. Quelques jours plus tard, c'est au tour des occupants de l'école des Arts décoratifs de fonder le leur. Pendant plus d'un mois, des assemblées générales réunissent quotidiennement artistes, étudiants et travailleurs pour discuter des thèmes et des slogans des affiches qui sont produites sans interruption et diffusées bientôt dans la France entière. À travers la présentation chronologique de quelque deux cents créations – qui montre à quel point celles-ci ont su traduire les événements au jour le jour – et les témoignages de nombreux acteurs de l'époque, ce livre retrace l'aventure des ateliers, illustrée de rares photos sur leur fonctionnement, dont celles de Marc Riboud.

Summary:
Risograph is a brand of digital duplicators that are designed mainly for high-volume photocopying and printing. The process creates micro-imperfections in printing, similar to spontaneity, or even comparable to how improvisation in jazz can lead to an unexpected but pleasant result. The result of two years of research by O.OO, a graphic design studio based in Taipei, the main focus of this publication is colour separation and experimentation with images. The studio does not claim the colour separation methods described here to be absolute or the “right” way, but offer resources in hopes that they can provide helpful advice in practice while on the path to professionalism in this field.

Mouvement artistique majeur depuis bientôt cinquante ans, le street art enflamme aujourd'hui la planète. Face à une crise économique et morale généralisée, les murs tiennent de nouveau le haut du pavé, portent la parole et les cris de street artists indignés. Ils investissent en force le social et le politique et dénoncent une réalité asphyxiante. Ces murs-là nous interpellent, nous provoquent, nous appellent à la vigilance, et affirment aussi que, dans un monde saturé d'images toutes faites, le street art peut avoir un double rôle à jouer : sentinelle de notre société et éveilleur de consciences.

Summary:
Postcard America offers a comprehensive study of linen postcards and their cultural significance. Drawing on the production files of Curt Teich & Co. of Chicago, the originator of linen postcards, Jeffrey L. Meikle reveals how photographic views were transformed into colorized postcard images, often by means of manipulation—adding and deleting details or collaging bits and pieces from several photos. He presents two extensive portfolios of postcards—landscapes and cityscapes—that comprise a representative iconography of linen postcard views. For each image, Meikle explains the postcard’s subject, describes aspects of its production, and places it in social and cultural contexts. In the concluding chapter, he shifts from historical interpretation to a contemporary viewpoint, considering nostalgia as a motive for collectors and others who are fascinated today by these striking images.

Summary:
The Russian Revolution has been examined countless times, but never from the perspective of postcards. This book is an extraordinary visual record of the tumultuous events of the 1905, the Menshevik, and Bolshevik Revolutions. The postcards capture the imperial splendour of the royal family in their final years, the mood of revolution as the crowds took to the streets, and the sens of optimism that greeted the new regime. They also reveal a very personal quality: in a cart sent by the Grand Duchess Olga from the house where the royal family was imprisoned shortly before their murder in Ekaterinburg, and a snapshot of Lenin chatting informally with the author H.G. Wells. This book is a unique contribution to the visual history of the Russian Revolution and brings to life one of the defining events of the twentieth century.
