Summary:
Eugène Atget est né en 1857, à Libourne, non loin de Bordeaux. Il meurt soixante-dix ans plus tard, à Paris, en 1927, laissant derrière lui une somme de travail incomparable. En 1888, après ses insuccès au théâtre et dans la peinture, il se choisit artisan photographe. Il fait des "documents pour artistes", puis à partir de 1897 et jusqu'à sa mort, il va fixer les empreintes de la capitale. Soit trente années de clichés. Trente ans de mutations, de transformations de la ville, du vieux Paris (celui d'avant la Révolution) à celui post-haussmanien : les rues étroites, les vieux édifices, les places, les ponts et les quais, les devantures de magasin, les cours intérieures, les cages d'escalier... Tout un travail sur la colonne vertébrale de Paris, auquel il ajoute des modèles en chair et en os : des artisans, des prostituées, des ouvriers, des camelots. Cet ouvrage superbe rend un hommage à ce pionnier que fut Atget, à la fois esthète et archéologue photographe, lécheur de vitrines et amateur de façades, arpenteur insatiable du pavé parisien. Un hommage ô combien nécessaire.

Summary:
Julius Shulman's long career photographing great architectural works with depth, passion, drama, and an instinct for the architect's intentions has ensured his present status as one of the world's preeminent architectural photographers. His eloquent photos interpreting the structures of Richard Neutra and other early modernists helped the viewing public to understand these revolutionary buildings, and brought prominence to modernist practitioners who might otherwise have been considered eccentric. Frank Lloyd Wright once said that no better photos had ever been taken of Taliesin West than those by Shulman. "Photographing Architecture and Interiors", published in 1962, is Shulman's first book, and he still considers it to be his most genuine reflection on the profession and on his own artistic philosophy. This title is an exact reprint of that classic publication. All of Shulman's famous photographs have here been reproduced from original prints, giving the images a crispness and luminosity not seen even in the 1962 edition. The introduction by Richard Neutra, perhaps Shulman's most important client and avid supporter, has been preserved; also included is a new foreword by Shulman.

Summary:
Featured in "Walker Evans: Florida" are the surprising images Evans took during his six-week stay in the area, which constitute a little-known chapter in Evans's distinguished career. Far from creating stereotypical postcard pictures of sandy beaches and palm trees, Evans captured a region of contradictions. Here in the nation's seaside vacationland, Evans focused his lens on decaying architecture, crowded street scenes, retirees, and numerous images of the animals, railroad cars, and circus wagons from Ringling Brothers Circus, whose winter home was in Sarasota.

Summary:
Eugène Atget (1857-1927) spent nearly thirty years photographing details of often-inconspicuous buildings, side streets, cul-de-sacs, and public sculptures in his beloved Paris. Yet before his death, he was practically unknown outside of that city. His genius was first recognized about 1924 by two young Americans living and working in Paris—Man Ray and his studio assistant, Berenice Abbott—who appreciated the elements of contradiction, ambivalence, and ambiguity in Atget's images of Parisian architecture, streets, and parks. Presented in this volume are more than fifty of the Getty Museum's two hundred ninety-five pictures by Atget, with commentary on each image by Gordon Baldwin, associate curator of photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum. "In Focus: Eugène Atget" also contains a chronological overview of his life and an edited transcript of a colloquium on his career, with participants Baldwin; David Featherstone, independent editor and curator; photographer Robbert Flick, professor of art at the University of Southern California; independent scholar David Harris; Weston Naef, curator of photographs, Getty Museum; Francoise Reynaud, curator of photographs at the Musée Carnavalet, Paris; and Michael S. Roth, president, California College of Arts and Crafts.

Summary:
Tout au long de ses soixante années de carrière, Franco Fontana a photographié ce que l’on ne voit pas, réussissant à fixer dans l’objectif une image « autre », détachée de la réalité, libérée du sujet représenté. Son travail sur la géométrie, les proportions et la composition lui a permis d’atteindre par paliers une synthèse conceptuelle qui est à la fois son langage personnel et sa manifestation formelle. Ce volume est le résultat d’une exploration minutieuse des archives de l’artiste, qui a fait émerger des clichés inédits, allant des recherches les plus expérimentales aux manifestations les plus libres de sa subjectivité, sans négliger pour autant les images iconiques qui ont rendu leur auteur célèbre dans le monde entier.

Summary:
"Le premier homme" is a semi-fictional documentary that tells the story of a mysterious man called Mr. B. living as a hermit in nature. In fact, after spending an entire life working tirelessly trying to survive and a few years from retirement, Mr. B. abandoned everything to lead a simple and authentic life. This man, crushed by an increasingly inhuman and deleterious system, found refuge far from his fellow men and developed extraordinary abilities there. He's able to control the elements, communicate with animals and even levitate. By refusing to participate in the exploitation of nature and humans, by adopting a humble and responsible attitude, he's rising against the excesses of neoliberalism. It’s a sort of David’s fight against Goliath - a highly topical issue - that he embodies in his own way and will lead without compromise when he will feel ready to get back to – what is paradoxically called – civilization.
