Résumé:
On ne présente plus Tomi Ungerer. Les Trois Brigands, le Géant de Zéralda, Pas de baiser pour maman et tant d'autres histoires à succès l'ont hissé depuis longtemps au panthéon des auteurs pour enfants. Ses satires acérées de la société américaine, qui défraient la chronique dans les années 1970, n'ont guère perdu de leur actualité ; ses dessins publicitaires explosifs ont fait date ; ses œuvres érotiques continuent d'évoquer avec ambivalence et délectation la place de la femme dans nos sociétés. Tomi Ungerer est aussi l'affichiste virulent de la lutte contre le sida, le nucléaire, le racisme. Mais il sait être tendre envers ce qui lui est cher: en témoignent ses illustrations de contes et de chansons populaires qui accompagnent l'imaginaire de plus d'un lecteur. A l'occasion de l'ouverture du Musée Tomi Ungerer, Centre international de l'Illustration, cet ouvrage présente pour la première fois une analyse rétrospective de son œuvre. Parmi les huit mille dessins et sculptures, les mille trois cents livres, les archives, les revues, les photographies dont Tomi Ungerer a fait donation à sa ville natale, ce livre propose quelques chemins de traverse dans la production protéiforme de l'artiste.

Résumé:
Woodcutter, painter, cosmopolitan and anti-militarist, Belgium-born Masereel (1889-1972) was an extremely popular artist in 1920s Germany. A contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and George Grosz, his "novels-without-words"--completely composed of woodcuts--have been neglected in the States. Here, 165 striking woodcuts generate the visual narrative of a young man's initiation into the urban milieu. The raw power and diversity of the city's day to day events continually expand his understanding of life's possibilities. The hero's fascination with the city's abundance of art and culture, political debate and industrial glory combine with observations on an equal profusion of poignant social trauma. The protagonist travels to distant lands; this journey of vibrant percipience propels him toward an enlarged comprehension of his role in a world of good and evil, love and tenderness and clashing social interests. Mann's effusive introduction discusses Masereel's life and influences and details the ideas that motivated and enliven this vivid work.

Résumé:
This illustrated version of the popular Passover song "Had gadya" was the wonderfully playful offspring of the avant-garde artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941). It dates to a little-known period early in his career when he immersed himself in the Jewish cultural renaissance that flourished in Russia from roughly 1912 to the early 1920s.

Résumé:
This illustrated version of the popular Passover song "Had gadya" was the wonderfully playful offspring of the avant-garde artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941). It dates to a little-known period early in his career when he immersed himself in the Jewish cultural renaissance that flourished in Russia from roughly 1912 to the early 1920s. Signed with his Hebrew given name, this volume—with its wraparound cover, colorful lithographic montages, and stylized use of Yiddish and Aramaic words—celebrates Lissitzky's interest in Jewish folk traditions while looking forward to the dynamic graphic and typographic designs for which he is best remembered. This near-scale facsimile—including the rarely seen cover—allows readers to experience Lissitzky's Had gadya as originally envisioned. It is accompanied here by Nancy Perloff's discussion of the work's cultural and artistic contexts, Arnold J. Band's English translation of Lissitzky's Yiddish version of the song, sections on Lissitzky's iconography and vocabulary, and lyrics set to music. Arnold J. Band is professor emeritus of Hebrew and comparative literature at the University of California, Los Angeles. Nancy Perloff is collections curator of modern and new media collections at the Getty Research Institute.

Résumé:
Modern life is an ever-accelerating barrage of people, buildings,vehicles, creatures, and things. How much can a curious mind take in? And what can it do with all the data? Gregory L. Blackstock, a retired Seattle pot washer, draws order out of all the chaos with a pencil, a black marker, and some crayons. Blackstock is autistic and an artistic savant. He creates visual lists of everything from wasps to hats to emergency vehicles to noisemakers. In the spirit of the Outsider art of Henry Darger and Howard Finster, Blackstock makes art that is stirring in its profusion and detail and inspiring in its simple beauty. He has never received formal artistic training, yet his renderings clearly and beguilingly show subtle differences and similarities—enabling the viewer to see, for example, the distinctive features of a dolly varden, a Pacific Coast steelhead cutthroat, and fourteen other types of trout. Each collection is lovingly captioned in Blackstock's unique hand with texts that reflect facts from his research as well as his passions and preferences. Blackstock's Collections contains over 100 extraordinary examples of his splendidly original taxonomy, offering a unique look inside the mind of a man making sense of life through art.
