Résumé:
Idyll comprises a series of paintings, silk-screened prints, and drawings. Much of Albrecht’s work is inspired by the dreaminess of childhood, whether expressing her cloudy recollections of the storybooks she read as a child (stories populated by strange creatures, impossible happenings, and oneiric landscapes) or the forested West Coast landscapes that surrounded her. On the pages of Idyll, a series of interconnected myths emerges fully formed, each myth articulating a sense of wistfulness for a past that never was. By turns surreal, fantastical, and absurdist, Albrecht constructs these pieces with the vivid yet subtle values that are a product of her silk-screening work.

Résumé:
In recent years renowned artist David Hockney has returned to England to paint the landscape of his childhood in East Yorkshire. Although his passionate interest in new technologies has led him to develop a virtuosic drawing technique on the iPad, he has also traveled outdoors with a traditional sketchbook, an invaluable tool as he works quickly to capture the changing light and fleeting effects of the weather. Executed in watercolor and ink, these panoramic scenes have the spatial complexity of finished paintings - the broad sweep of sky or road, the patchwork tapestry of land - yet convey the immediacy of Hockney's impressions. For those who know the East Yorkshire Wolds, the location of the sketches is unmistakable; for those who don't, its features will come to life in these pages.

Résumé:
First published in 1938, this classic book introduces the British high street, pairing the timeless illustrations of beloved artist Eric Ravilious with an engaging text by architectural historian J. M. Richards. Shops include the family butcher, the cheesemonger, the knife grinder, and the oyster bar. Only 2,000 copies of the original book were printed before the lithographic plates were destroyed in the London Blitz during World War II. As a result, it has become one of the most collectible of all artist's books from this period. This beautiful facsimile edition features Ravilious's illustrations in exquisite color and includes an essay by V curator Gill Saunders, putting the book and its history into context.

Résumé:
En janvier 2010 j’eus la chance de trouver une plaque de grès noir entrecroisé couvert de lichen, intacte, qui m'attendait bien loin au sud-est de l’oasis la plus proche. Elle était verticale, enchâssée entre deux énormes blocs et protégée des vents de sable par un buisson d’euphorbes. Elle mesurait environ trente sur quarante centimètres. La scène, dans un grand silence, représentait un homme debout, le pied gauche posé sur un bloc et le bras droit tendu. Sur sa main aux doigts écartés était posé un oiseau huppé, bec ouvert, face au regard de l’homme. A l’arrière-plan un soleil blanc dardait ses rayons comme des racines ondulantes qui entrelaçaient ses épaules. La joue scarifiée laissait entrevoir le chiffre trois suivi du un. Un buisson de genre aloès, en bas à droite, terminait le tableau. C’était net, magnifique, énigmatique, totémique. Quelques jours plus tard, la plaque retrouvée n’offrait plus que l’oiseau affolé, pattes liées à un fil de pyrite: l’or des fous.

Résumé:
"My previous picture book was about a train trip to Baku, this book documents my ferry trip accross the Mediterranean Sea to Alexandria (or Iskandariyah as it is called in Arabic). I was invited to exhbit my work and conduct a workshop organized by the artist-run Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF). This paperback is a selection of the many drawings that transpired on this amazing journey. Not all my drawings are of a scene that catches my eye. Often it starts with coming across a really comfortable spot where I can sit undisturbed for some time amongst the hustle and rumble of a busy city. This, for me, can be quite meditative. Later, I scan the drawings to upload onto my website and other applications. This time round, I also experimented with the drawings and hope to present this book as my personal development or work in progress. I wish to share the overwhelming experience of drawing the ocean and have tried to capture the simultaneous static second and fluid element of the water by flushing the drawings through a scanner and allowing them to distort as they wish to flow, much like the city, much like life itself." Ingo Giezendanner alias GRRRR, July 2011 Since 1998, Ingo Giezendanner documents his surroundings with pen on paper. He produces zines, murals, books, exhibitions, video clips and maintains a website (GRRRR.net) to create his own world.
