Résumé:
Zaha Hadid, née en Irak et installée à Londres, a été la première femme lauréate du Pritzker Prize. Elle a, au cours de ces trente dernières années, bouleversé notre perception de l'espace et de l'architecture, puisant ses références à la source même du modernisme, à l'instar des constructivistes et des suprématistes. Elle commente ici près de 200 opus - projets et réalisations - depuis les expérimentations les plus précoces, les oeuvres peintes, les simples folies, les constructions à grande échelle ou de grande hauteur, les plans directeurs d'urbanisme, jusqu'au design d'objets, de mobilier et d'articles de mode. L'intégrale Zaha Hadid est le premier ouvrage en français consacré à cet architecte qui aura su abolir les limites convenues des formes, de la gestion de l'espace et des structures constructives.

Résumé:
In one of the most comprehensive analyses ever written on the subject, Michael Tymkiw reassesses the relationship between Nazi exhibition design and modernism. While National Socialist exhibitions are widely understood as platforms for attacking modern art, they also served as sites of surprising formal experimentation among artists, architects, and others, who often drew upon and reconfigured the practices and principles of modernism when designing exhibition spaces and the objects within. In this book, Tymkiw reveals that a central motivation behind such experimentation was the interest in provoking what he calls "engaged spectatorship"—attempts to elicit experiences among exhibition-goers that would pique their desire to become involved in wider processes of social and political change.

Résumé:
This book consists of twelve chapters written by leading scholars, each spotlighting ideas emanating from a particular field which helped to shape Modernism, including eugenics, primitivism, Freudianism, and Nietzscheanism. Each contributor goes into their topic in some depth, but also pays attention to the impact it had on overarching issues. At the same time, the contributors identify contemporary developments in other disciplines, especially art, architecture, music, film and philosophy, which paralleled developments in poetry, fiction and drama. Each chapter concludes with a brief guide to further reading.

Résumé:
Modernism ushered in some of the most exciting innovations in art and literature, from Fauvism, Cubism, and Dada, to the novels of James Joyce and Franz Kafka, to such provocative works as Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain." But Modernism also left many people puzzled in its wake. How can a routine bathroom fixture be considered a work of art? Shouldn't a novel have a beginning, a middle, and an end--or at least a story? In this publication, Christopher Butler provides a coherent account of Modernism across various aesthetic and cultural fields. Butler examines how and why Modernism began, explaining what it is and showing how virtually all aspects of 20th and 21st century life have been influenced by its aesthetic legacy. Butler considers several aspects of modernism, including some classic modernist works, movements and notions of the avant garde, and the idea of "progress" in art. Finally, Butler sheds light on modernist ideas of the self, subjectivity, irrationalism, people and machines, and the political dimensions of modernism as a whole.

Résumé:
«Modernist photography» re-examines the classic period of 20th-century photography using new critical approaches to consider five recurrent visual themes during the years 1915 to 1945. These themes cut across such stylistic movements as Pictorialism, Surrealism, and the New Vision, and include the transformation of objects, experimental images of the body, visions of the city, the industrialization of the countryside, and experimental directions in poster design and typography. This thematic approach fosters new perspectives on such key photographers as Bernice Abbott, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Raoul Hausmann, Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks and Man Ray and emphasizes the interactions between European and American practitioners. The catalogue includes chapters on each of the five themes by ICP Curators Christopher Phillips and Vanessa Rocco. It is based on a selection of 70 works from the Daniel Cowin Collection. The collection of about 1,600 images dates from 1860 to 1960 and includes a range of processes and formats--postcards, stereographs, carte-de-vistes, tintypes, albumen prints, and gelatin silver prints.

Résumé:
Sous ce titre ''De l'autre côté'' sont rassemblées les oeuvres de trois femmes photographes originaires d'Allemagne et qui, portées par le vent de l'histoire, se sont exilées à la fin des années 1930 en Amérique du Sud. Après avoir suivi une formation photographique en Allemagne, dans le cadre de l'école légendaire du Bauhaus ou au studio de Paul Wolff — dont le nom est étroitement associé à la marque Leica —, elles ont toutes trois commencé d'exercer leur métier à Berlin, Paris et Londres. Puis chacune d'elles a traversé l'Atlantique en direction d'un pays différent pour poursuivre sa carrière : Grete Stern en Argentine, Hildegard Rosenthal au Brésil et Jeanne Mandello en Uruguay. Trois destins qui ont en commun l'exil et le désir de liberté; trois oeuvres qui incarnent les multiples facettes de la photographie de leur époque.

Résumé:
Julien Levy (1906–1981) was one of the most influential proponents of photography and Surrealism during the second quarter of the twentieth century. In his gallery, which operated from 1931 to 1949, Levy hosted the first New York exhibition devoted to Surrealism and presented early solo exhibitions of many photographers now considered iconic in their field, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Clarence John Laughlin, George Platt Lynes, and Lee Miller. He also developed close relationships with artists Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, and Man Ray, among others, and is credited with discovering Joseph Cornell. This book is published to commemorate the centenary of Levy’s birth and to celebrate the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s major acquisition of more than 2,500 photographs from his collection.
