Throughout his career Moholy-Nagy produced brilliant works in painting, film, photography, sculpture, set design and typography. A leading proponent of the Bauhaus School, he strove to apply artistic principles to every aspect of daily life.

This companion volume to a retrospective features 170 works from all phases of Moholy-Nagy s career. Essays on his involvement with the Bauhaus School; his late paintings; his photographs, photograms, and photosculptures; and his accomplishments in the field of graphic art are complemented by numerous colour illustrations.

The book also documents the reconstruction of a never completed work,

The Room of Today, which incorporates the most important themes Moholy-Nagy brought to his art. Readers viewing his work for the first time, along with those already possessing a deep appreciation for his art, will celebrate this long-overdue volume.

László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) was one of the most internationally influential teachers at the Bauhaus. It is essentially owing to his effective artistic and journalistic skills that photography became an integral part of modern art in the twenties. He “discovered” the aesthetic possibilities of photograms in 1922 and continued his inventive work with them until 1943, turning them into icons of the medium that are still waiting to be fully brought to light.

This catalogue raisonné, meticulously edited by photography expert Renate Heyne, is the first to feature all of the known works - close to 450 of them - in chronological order. Until now, most of them had only been published in history books and auction catalogues. This volume contains far more information than is usually found in a classic descriptive catalogue of works: it explains the artistic, technical, and biographical circumstances under which the photograms were created, examines them in relation to other areas of Moholy-Nagy’s work, and analyzes them at length on the basis of selected pieces. A biography and a bibliography of the photograms round off this catalogue raisonné.

In this context, an aspiring generation of Latin American designers and artists has been evolving and refining its own visual language. latino-gráfico presents a colorful selection of graphic design, illustration, and typography that examines the fresh look of today’s Latin American design.

Whether critical or glorifying, all of the work collected in this book reflects truly mixed societies. From African folk art to Christian symbolism and imported North American lifestyle, latino-gráfico examines the diverse influences that shape this often chaotic design culture and make it one of the most dynamic in the world today. The included DVD with moving images and a foreword by longtime MTV creative director and native Chilean Christian Jofre make it a comprehensive compendium of this region’s design.

latino-gráfico was compiled by TwoPoints.Net founder Martin Lorenz, formerly of Hort, and Lupi Asensio. Since 2007 the husband and wife designers have lived in Barcelona, where they document design developments in the Latin American cultural sphere.

Page après page, l’un des plus beaux manuscrits de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France illustre les exploits du meilleur des chevaliers, Lancelot du Lac, depuis le combat victorieux de Lancelot contre les automates de la Douloureuse Garde ou la délivrance des chevaliers du Val sans retour, jusqu’à la bataille de Salisbury, où Arthur, mortellement blessé, fait jeter son épée Excalibur avant d’être emporté par Morgane vers l’île des fées. UNE CO-ÉDITION BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE DE FRANCE - BIBLIOTHÈQUE DE L’IMAGE À L’OCCASION DE L’EXPOSITION À LA BNF DU 20 OCTOBRE 2009 AU 24 JANVIER 2010 SUR LA LÉGENDE DU ROI ARTHUR. La légende du roi Arthur et des chevaliers de la Table Ronde s’est constituée et développée durant des siècles et le mystère suprême du Saint Graal n’a jamais cessé d’inspirer les plus grands créateurs. Si le nom d’Arthur apparaît dès le VIIème siècle, il faut attendre le XIIème pour que fleurisse le mythe littéraire de ce roi des Bretons – dont rien n’atteste aujourd’hui l’existence réelle – capable de vaincre l’empereur de Rome et d’imposer la foi chrétienne à l’Angleterre. Thierry Delcourt, archiviste-paléographe et docteur ès lettres, conservateur général des bibliothèques, dirige depuis 2006 le département des Manuscrits de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, après avoir notamment été à la tête de la médiathèque de Troyes – il en a conduit la construction de 1996 à 2006 et y a organisé plusieurs expositions : Splendeurs de la cour de Champagne au temps de Chrétien de Troyes (1998), Bestiaire du Moyen Âge (2004), Trésors enluminés de Troyes (2006)… Membre de la Société internationale arthurienne, Thierry Delcourt a publié de nombreux ouvrages et a participé à plusieurs volumes de l’édition du Roman de Tristan en prose dirigée par Philippe Ménard (Droz, t. II, 1990 et t. V, 1992 ; Champion, version du ms. français 757, t. II, 1999), ainsi qu’au volume VI de l’édition de la version française du Devisement du monde, de Marco Polo (Droz, 2009). Il est aussi l’auteur d’un Que sais-je ? consacré à la Littérature arthurienne (PUF, 2000) et il dirige la publication du catalogue de l’exposition La légende du roi Arthur (BNF / Seuil, 2009). On compte en outre parmi ses publications récentes Trésors enluminés de Troyes (CD Rom, Nouveau Monde éditions, 2005), Les Croisades, la plus grande aventure du Moyen Âge (Nouveau Monde éditions, 2007) et Sébastien Mamerot, Les Passages d’outremer, une chronique des croisades jusqu’en 1462 enluminée par Jean Colombe (Cologne, Taschen,2009).

"Il est peu d'exemples dans l'histoire des arts d'une technique aussi étroitement liée à une nation. Pour beaucoup d'entre nous, l'aquarelle est avant tout anglaise et cela nous semble tout naturel.
(...) Pendant )plus d'un siècle, l'aquarelle devint le moyen d'expression le plus original d'un pays et d'un temps qui ne manquaient ni d'esprit d'invention ni de talent."
Olivier Meslay

"Derrière moi, à Edo Je laisse mon pinceau
En route pour un nouveau voyage
Laissez-moi admirer
Toutes les vues célèbres du Paradis"
Utagawa Hiroshige, Poème d'adieu, 1858

(...) Son oeuvre d'une originalité surprenante, fascinera les japonais et influencera les occidentaux (Whistler, Pissarro, van Gogh, Monet, Bonnard). L'une des suites d'estampes les plus évocatrices offertes aux amateurs de paysages et de voyages, Les Cinquante-trois relais du Tôkaido, publiée en 1833-34, lui valut une célébrité immédiate et universelle."
Giséle Lambert
Ces 53 estampes (55 avec le départ et l'arrivée) reproduites en couleurs, à pleine page, exécutées par Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) en 1832 le long de la route du Tôkaidô (Edo-Kyoto).
