Résumé:
Often dismissed as "greasy spoons", classic cafes are actually little gems of British vernacular high street commercial design. Here the last remaining enclaves – originally vilified in the 1950's for their embodiment “of corrupt brightness, of improper appeals and moral evasions . . . a sort of spiritual dry rot amid the odour of boiled milk” – are extensively reviewed, revealed and reappraised. For 50's Britain, cafes once represented a European dynamism that added much needed colour to Britain’s post-war social, artistic and commercial scene. However, by the late 1970's their original spirit had been extinguished and throughout the 80's and 90's they fell into disuse – despised and forgotten. Today these classic cafes retain a quintessential, poignant quality of lost English drabness and a "contemporary" utilitarian minimalist aesthetic that marks them out as icons of design.

Résumé:
In the early 1970s, Lew Thomas set out to disrupt photography in San Francisco. Tired of the mystical thinking and emotionalism that had underscored Bay Area photography since the 1940s, Thomas pursued a photographic practice grounded in ideas gleaned from conceptual art and Structuralist philosophy. A cohort of other photographers, including Donna-Lee Phillips and Hal Fischer, embraced Thomas’ mission, joining him in what became known as the ‘Photography and Language’ movement, named after a book and group exhibition of the same title produced by Thomas in 1976. This book is published in conjunction with an exhibition featuring photographs by these three artists that will be on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art January 4 – August 9, 2020, this volume assesses their work, their relationship to one another and their place in the history of photography in the 1970s.

Résumé:
In this new edition of his striking collection of street views from 1970 to 2010. Thomas Struth presents a series of urban streetscapes from cities such as Edinburgh, Lima, Pyongyang, Naples, and New York City, all taken in similar conditions--devoid of human activity. Struth refers to these mundane buildings, unpopulated streets and anonymous facades as "unconscious places"--environments that are imbued with meaning only by the viewer. Captured with exquisite technical prowess and presented with powerful, restrained neutrality, Struth's images allow us to fully appreciate a city's character--from its telephone wires above to the pavement below. Richard Sennett's illuminating essay reveals how Struth's sober, lucid photography leads the viewer to create their own conclusions, rather than forcing a perspective. The resulting interplay among photographer, viewer, and landscape may hold the key to understanding how architecture affects our daily lives.

Résumé:
À la fin de l’année 1975, installée depuis peu à Paris, Jane Evelyn Atwood réalise son premier reportage photo, en noir et blanc, dans une écriture à la fois simple, efficace et sensible. D’une rencontre avec une prostituée de la rue des Lombards, elle découvre un univers où tout la fascine : personnages extraordinaires, costumes incroyables, regards portés sur les hommes… L’entrée de l’immeuble est miteuse, les murs crasseux, le sol couvert de mégots, une odeur de pisse envahissante, mais l’envie de mieux connaître ces femmes convaincra Jane Evelyn Atwood de partager leur vie. Plus de trente ans après, les éditions Xavier Barral réunissent pour la première fois l’ensemble de ce travail peu connu de Jane Evelyn Atwood. Un bel hommage à ces femmes, à leur générosité, et à ce Paris la nuit de la fin des années 1970.
