This is a superbly illustrated exploration of a crucial period in the development of photography. "19th-century British Photographs" is gloriously illustrated volume that showcases the depth and variety of photographs from the National Gallery of Canada's permanent collection, and places them in their social and historical context. Featuring a number of iconic works from some of the medium's earliest practitioners - inc. Julia Margaret Cameron, William Henry Fox Talbot, Frederick H. Evans, Roger Fenton and Henry Peach Robinson - and an insightful analysis of the various photographic processes in use at the time, such as salted paper prints, daguerreotypes, albumen silver prints, collotypes and carbon prints, "19th-Century British Photographs" provides readers with a complete overview of the crucial period in the development of photography.

Wheels of history. From the Model T and DB5 to the VW Beetle and the Hummer.

Henry Ford jump-started the age of the automobile with the first assembly-line car in 1908: the Model T. Over the next century the automobile evolved from chugging workhorse to tail fin era showboat to sleek status symbol, complete with sleek hood ornament. Initially a novelty item, the car grew into a necessity of the modern age, and a vector of freedom on the open road.

20th Century Classic Cars offers a lush visual history of the automobile, decade by decade, via 400-plus print advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery culled from a century of auto advertising, this book traces the evolution of the auto from horseless carriage to rocket on wheels and beyond. With an introduction and chapter text by New York Times automotive writer Phil Patton, as well as an illustrated timeline, this volume highlights the technological innovations, major manufacturers and dealers, historical events, and influence of popular culture on car design. Time-travel through the Automobile Age with a collection that puts you in the driver s seat. A TASCHEN classic, now in a new size at an irresistible price!

Taschen 25th Anniversary Series

People understand the artwork of Oleg Dou in different ways. The decadent beauty of his seemingly bloodless creatures and their psychopathic gaze are strangely evocative of the cliched images of fashion photography. But the dedication and diligence with which he creates his images of young people, woven of snow and ice, entice us to seek a living face underneath the thick layer of makeup. Oleg Dou has chosen a very difficult path, dismembering beauty with the surgical scalpel of a pathologist, dissecting a rictus grin until it becomes a paroxysm of suffering

Переживая свои детские воспоминания о страхе перед постановочной съемкой, уже во взрослом возрасте он использует этот опыт в искусстве как терапию. В то же время сам становится тем, кого всегда боялся. Стиль художника - крупноформатные портреты детей и взрослых с пластифицированными, почти кукольными лицами,...

In 1919 publishing company Van Cortenberg published photographs from World War One with the title "Never Let Us Forget". Those pictures were sold as postcards for the benefit of widows and orphans.

This book collects these photographs together; 365 images at the western front of World War One give the reader a unique view of the battlefield and the daily life in and around the trenches: wounded people, soldiers relaxing, arms, ammunition factories with civilians, guards, cold winters, airplanes, artillery and soldiers marching towards the front.

All the featured pictures have a legend in 4 languages; some of them have larger comments and are placed in an historical context.

Photographs have a strange and powerful way of shaping the way we see the world and influencing our perceptions of reality. To demonstrate the unique and profound influence on culture and society that photographs have, Photo Icons puts the most important landmarks in the history of photography under the microscope.

Each chapter of this special edition focuses on a single image which is described and analyzed in detail, in aesthetic, historical, and artistic contexts. The book begins with the very first permanent images (Nicéphore Niépce's 1827 eight-hour-exposure rooftop picture and Louis Daguerre's famous 1839 street scene) and takes the reader up through the present day, via the avant-garde photography of the 1920s and works such as Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother (1936), Robert Doisneau's Kiss in Front of City Hall (1950), and Martin Parr's 'New European photography.'

This dynamic introduction to the world's greatest photographers from the inception of photography to today bears proof of the magic of the camera.

From Fèlix Nadar to Nan Goldin, each of the photographers featured here represents an important aspect of photographyís evolution.The artists are presented in double-page spreads that include reproductions of their most important works, concise biographies, informative sidebars, and a timeline that extends throughout the volume. The result is a fascinating overview of the way photographers continue to push the limits of their genre, offering their audiences new ways of seeing and understanding our world.

“I find photography a most mysterious process - capturing that moment in time and space, elusive and fleeting, and crystallizing it. You have made a photograph. It is its own thing now. To me, that is thrilling.”
—Jessica Lange

Actress Jessica Lange’s career spans more than 30 years and 30 films; the winner of two Academy awards, the one-time waitress is one of the most acclaimed performers of both the screen and the stage, as well as one of the most recognizable faces. 50 Photographs, however, finds Lange on the other side of the camera.

Originally drawn to the medium simply as a way to document the lives and growth of her children, Lange has now been photographing on and off for 15 years, approaching the art as an antidote to the constant fervor of Hollywood. “It is a way of working,” she says of her process, “that is the opposite of acting. Photography doesn’t depend on collaboration; it can be solitary and private.” A 2007 feature in Aperture, introduced by Mary Ellen Mark, gave the world its first taste of Lange’s visual work; now, 50 Photographs gathers her impressive portfolio, featuring images from Mexico, Africa, Romania, Russia, Finland, Italy, and France as well as the U.S., into her first-ever photography monograph. Alternately comforting and disquieting, Lange’s striking black-and-whites possess a kind of moody mystery that is appropriately cinematic.
