Перше комплексне дослідження листівок, які використовувалися як пропаганда з усіх сторін великих військових і політичних конфліктів ХХ століття, включаючи Першу та Другу світові війни

Російський робітник-есер піднімає червоний прапор. Натовпи обожнювачів вітають Гітлера і Муссоліні. Дядько Сем наказує американцям записатися. Ці та багато інших зображень, які розповсюджувалися мільйонами на листівках, мали на меті змінити думку та надихнути на дії під час двох світових воєн. Незалежно від того, чи були вони створені урядовими бюро пропаганди, опортуністичними видавцями, організаціями допомоги чи рухами опору, листівки передавали свої повідомлення з яскравою графікою, змістовними гаслами та різкими карикатурами – і в унікальному особистому форматі. Понад 350 листівок, відтворених у повному кольорі в цій книзі, виступають за політичні причини та вшановують військові зусилля всіх сторін у великих конфліктах першої половини двадцятого століття. Супровідний текст показує, як всюдисуща форма зв’язку служила все більш витонченим кампаніям в епоху пропаганди, і висвітлює зібрані тут листівки як безцінні історичні документи та шедеври графічного дизайну.

The Purple Book – це розкішна збірка сучасної ілюстрації, що досліджує фантазію, чуттєвість та еротичну уяву. Вона висвітлює візуальне мистецтво та письмове слово як засоби для представлення зв'язку людського бажання зі станом мрії, вигадкою та символізмом.

Значна частина робіт ілюстраторів, що досліджують ці теми, є неопублікованими, особистими роботами, і багато робіт тут вперше з'являються у друкованому вигляді. Окрім скарбниці портфоліо 21 найкращого міжнародного сучасного ілюстратора, серія спеціально замовлених робіт ілюструє п'ять класичних літературних текстів, які надихнули теми «Пурпурової книги». Особистості, що стоять за цією замовленою роботою, розкриваються через інтерв'ю з їхніми творцями, досліджуючи творчий процес, що стоїть за їхніми візуальними фантазіями, та те, як це перетворюється на кінцевий твір мистецтва.

Назва книги натхненна The Yellow Book, періодичним виданням, що видавалося в 1890-х роках і спочатку художньо керованим Обрі Бердслі. Хоча жовтий колір у 1890-х роках символізував сміливо розпусне, сьогодні фіолетовий колір є синонімом розкішності та чуттєвості.

This macabre tale — part dark fantasy, part Gray’s Anatomy — tells the chilling story of a man driven mad by his search for the truth, with hypnotic and horrifying images.

Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages — and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: that the mythological beasts of legend and lore — including mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs — were in fact humanity’s evolutionary ancestors. And beyond that, he wonders: what if there was a way for humanity to reach the fuller potential these ancestors implied?

The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first part is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, his cruel and crazed experiments, and, finally, his mysterious disappearance. The second part is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts, all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations.

The history of photography is teeming with portraits of musicians made iconic by their album covers: Thelonious Monk by W. Eugene Smith, Miles Davis by Irving Penn, Grace Jones by Jean-Paul Goude, Laurie Anderson by Robert Mapplethorpe.

The history of album cover art also includes collaborations between prominent figures, such as Mick Rock and David Bowie, Annie Leibovitz and John Lennon, Lee Friedlander and John Coltrane, Nobuyoshi Araki and Björk, Anton Corbijn and U2, and Robert Frank with the Rolling Stones ― not to mention Francis Wolff’s legendary work with Blue Note, the record label he cofounded.

Musicians and designers have also sifted through photography’s rich history for powerful photographs to match and keep company with the music enclosed within: Anders Petersen’s classic Café Lehmitz portrait of a man nestling into a woman’s bosom stands in for Tom Waits on the cover of Swordfishtrombones; Big Star and Alex Chilton push the listener into a corner with William Eggleston’s Red Ceiling on their album Radio City; Rage Against the Machine goes for the jugular on its self-titled album with the anonymous Vietnam War photo of the self-immolation of a Buddhist monk. Images like the Abbey Road crosswalk are deeply inscribed in our collective memory, yet few details are known about the photographer.

All of these ― and more ― are included in this compendium of electrifying images and the albums they grace. Includes albums featuring images by David Bailey, Guy Bourdin, Anton Corbijn, Roy DeCarava, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Luigi Ghirri, Jean-Paul Goude, Brian Griffin, William Klein, David LaChapelle, Danny Lyon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Ryan McGinley, Helmut Newton, Martin Parr, Anders Petersen, Pierre et Gilles, Hiro, Cindy Sherman, W. Eugene Smith, Pennie Smith, Juergen Teller, Jeff Wall, Andy Warhol, Albert Watson, William Wegman, and more.

Toys, fulfilling as they do one of mankind’s most basic needs, have existed for as long as we have. From the earliest times both adults and children have used toys to simulate reality or simply to pass time. Renowned designers, artists and architects have always tried their hand at creating toys: from Frank Lloyd Wright’s work with Fröbel’s building blocks to Josef Hartwig’s Bauhaus chess set that is still produced today. Gerrit Rietveld, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Breuer and Andy Warhol also designed toys. However, most often it was craftsmen and -women – such as the seamstress Margarete Steiff (Steiff teddy bears), the carpenters Christiansen (Lego), or the cabinet-maker Hans Beck (Playmobil) – who designed the most successful and enduring toys.

The title presents 115 products – from toy classics to brand new inventions, all with compelling shapes and functions. Introductory essays to each chapter presenting the history and significance of tricycles, play stores, etc., as well as a designer and retailer index round off the book. This makes it interesting to read for all toy lovers aged 0-99!

Expanded edition of the first monograph from critically acclaimed Russian-born Vania.

Russian-born Vania Zouravliov’s surreally haunting illustrations capture a mixture of innocence, beauty, and decay. He draws inspiration from sources as seemingly opposite as Russian folklore, Japanese illustration, and pop culture. His resulting drawings are elaborately composed and demonstrate the technical brilliance of an old master.

Gestalten published the first monograph of Vania’s work in 2008, which quickly sold out. This expanded edition not only presents the ample scope of exceptional talent, but also features more than 30 additional artworks. Vania’s intense emotional style evokes a nostalgia rooted in the artist’s Russian background that is reminiscent of the imagery used in that country’s silent and art-house movies. His dark motifs are intricately layered and full of powerful symbolism. They often feature provocative sadomasochistic references that represent the vulnerable relationship between innocence and affliction.

As a prodigy in his homeland, Vania has exhibited internationally since the age of thirteen and continues to produce a vast range of work for both commercial clients and as an independent artist.
