Résumé:
The past decade has seen a well-deserved revival of interest in the books of travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor. Now it’s time that his wife, Joan Leigh Fermor (1912–2003), gets her due—as one of the greatest photographers of her generation. In her lifetime, Leigh Fermor was hailed—and hired—by John Betjemen and Cyril Connelly, and she was recognized as a powerful recorder of the London Blitz. But the true scale of her achievement was only realized after her death, when a treasure trove of photographs was discovered documenting the landscape and culture of Greece between 1945 and 1960. Through Leigh Fermor’s fundamentally democratic lens, we meet Cretan shepherds, Meteoran monastics, and Macedonian bear tamers. She brings the same intimate eye to architecture, while showing just as much facility in the panoramas of landscape—all clearly animated by a love of Greece.

Paris, 1978. Jane Evelyn Atwood, jeune Américaine, arpente les rues de Pigalle après un tout premier reportage photographique dédié aux prostituées de la ville. C'est le quartier des transsexuels, avec ses bars pour habitués, sa chaleur, ses joies et sa violence. Un jour la photographe voit deux transsexuels entrer dans un immeuble. Elle les suit. Ils la laissent les photographier. C'est là que ce livre commence. Les images qu'il rassemble seront réalisées sur une période d'un peu plus d'un an, confirmant ce que seront désormais les principes de l'oeuvre de Jane Evelyn Atwood : temps long, immersion, respect et empathie. Et l'univers de la nuit, qui la fascine. Ce livre plein de compassion et de lucidité raconte un Pigalle désormais disparu, emporté par le sida et le changement d'époque.

Que ce soit des enfants jouant dans les terrains vagues de son quartier – Porte de Saint Cloud –, la ville de Paris, son quotidien, son métro, ses marchés aux puces... Sabine Weiss pose un regard à la fois doux et compréhensif sur les habitants, à la recherche des beautés simples, des moments suspendus, de repos ou de rêverie. Ses photographies sont pleines de lumière, de jeux d’ombres et de flous. De la même manière, que cela soit à Moscou ou à New-York, un des sujets toujours présent chez la photographe est la rue, la vie urbaine, l’individu versus la foule des métropoles.

Résumé:
Casting a cold eye on postwar Japan, the raw, grainy and impressionistic photography of Shomei Tomatsu practically defined Japanese photography in the second half of the 20th century, greatly influencing Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki and Takuma Nakihara. His best-known images are his portraits of people and street scenes from the 1950s, when the country struggled to recover from World War II and US military presence was ubiquitous; his photographs of 1960s Japan; and throughout his career, his images of Okinawa, where he died in 2012. Tomatsu's most famous single photograph is probably Melted Bottle, Nagasaki, 1961, which depicts a beer bottle rendered grotesquely biomorphic by the nuclear blast that devastated Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The American photographer and writer Leo Rubinfien described Tomatsu's Nagasaki images as "sad, haggard facts," noting that "beneath the surface there was a grief so great that any overt expression of sympathy would have been an insult."

Résumé:
Architect, designer, writer, skier, racing driver and stunt pilot, Carlo Mollino placed photography in a wholly privileged role in the pantheon of his languages and interests. He used it at a means of expression, producing works that were both classical and experimental, and as a fundamental instrument for the documentation of his work and his daily life. From a theoretical point of view, he provided an important impulse to the historic and aesthetic study of this means, contributing to its transition into the system of art. With over 450 illustrations, this book fully investigates the relationship between Mollino and photography, from his first architectural shots to the Polaroids of his later years, placing him within the history of the discipline.
