With the Middle East and Asia as his far-ranging home territory, Reza has chronicled 30 years of turmoil, hope, and splendor for a host of international publications including Newsweek, Time, Geo, and National Geographic magazines. Now, he displays some of his most dramatic works in Reza War and Peace – a powerful and moving photo collection that illuminates current events and recent history in places of conflict we see represented in the news every day. These remarkable pictures convey torment and upheaval, but also the art, culture, and traditions of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and other areas – as well as the photographer’s understanding of humanity and deep commitment to justice. Reza trains his lens not just on war and conflict, but also on friendship and loyalty, family life and love. The book follows Reza’s photographic career and is narrated in his own words, focusing our attention on the costs of war and the human condition. Sebastian Junger contributes an introduction, offering intimate insight into what it's like to work with his longtime friend and collaborator.

Despite the challenging subject matter, Reza’s message is not despairing, but ultimately hopeful. For readers interested in world history, current events, and the human experience, this photographic tour de force is a must.

Невгамовний новатор, Аведон незмінно кидає виклик загальноприйнятим очікуванням щодо того, як має виглядати портрет..." - Марія Морріс Гамбург і Міа Файнеман Понад 50 років Річард Аведон (нар. 1923) демонстрував творчий геній нашого часу з приголомшливою проникливістю та незрівнянним стилем. Охоплюючи всю кар'єру художника, починаючи з кінця 1940-х років у своїй останній роботі «Портрети Річарда Аведона» пропонує чудову добірку своїх фотопортретів з безкомпромісною прямотою, без зайвих деталей, які відволікають увагу від особливостей обличчя, погляду, одягу та жестів. Ця складна інновація в поєднанні з інтенсивним інтересом художника до своїх предметів і майстерністю його майстерності призвела до заворожуючі портрети — серед них Трумен Капоте, Віллем де Кунінг, Семюель Беккет, Френсіс Бекон і Мерилін Монро, а також невідомі американці його проекту «На американському заході», які конкурують з найбільшими роботами в традиції портрета. Річард Аведон Портрети опубліковано для супроводу великої виставки в Метрополітен-музеї, Нью-Йорк. Завдяки інноваційному дизайну в стилі акордеон і чудовим репродукціям книга є окремою віртуальною міні-виставкою.

Про автора:

Performance, von der Richard Avedon Foundation zusammengestellt, ist Avedons Hommage an alle Spielarten der darstellenden Kunste. Avedon liebte das Theater und war vom Buhnengeschehen seiner Zeit ebenso fasziniert wie von dessen Protagonisten. Alles, was in dieser schillernden Szene in den vergangenen 50 Jahren Rang und Namen hatte, landete fruher oder spater in seinem Studio: Judy Garland und Chaplin, Horowitz und Bernstein, die Beatles und Bob Dylan, Marlon Brando und Frank Sinatra, Martha Graham, Rudolf Nurejew, Merce Cunningham …

"We all perform. It's what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintentionally. It's a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we'd like to be."
 - Richard Avedon, 1974

The preeminent stars and artists of the performing arts from the second half of the 20th century offered their greatest gifts - and, sometimes, their inner lives - to Richard Avedon. More than 200 are portrayed in Performance, many in photographs that have been rarely or never seen before. Of course, the great stars light the way: Hepburn and Chaplin, Monroe and Garland, Brando and Sinatra. But here too are the actors and comedians, pop stars and divas, musicians and dancers, artists in all mediums with public lives that were essentially performances, who stand at the pinnacle of our cultural achievement.

The celebrated author and critic John Lahr offers an elegant assessment of Avedon’s achievement. Four supremely talented artists from the performing arts - Mike Nichols, André Gregory, Mitsuko Uchida, and Twyla Tharp - contribute lively and moving memoirs about their collaborations with Avedon.

Richard Avedon photographed the faces of politics throughout his career and this book brings together his political portraits for the first time. Juxtaposing images of elite government, media, and labor officials with photographs of countercultural activists, writers and artists, and ordinary citizens caught up in national debates, it explores a five-decade taxonomy of politics and power by one of America’s best-known artists.

The book features Avedon’s extended projects on the civil rights debate in the early 1960s (published in 1964 in Nothing Personal); the American anti-war movement and the war in Vietnam from 1969-1971; portraits of the American power elite in 1976 for his groundbreaking Rolling Stone portfolio The Family; “Exiles: The Kennedy Court at the End of the American Century,” a retrospective homage to the Camelot generation, published in The New Yorker in 1993; and his final photo-essay, “Democracy,” surveying the American state of mind during the politically-fractious time prior to the country’s 2004 presidential election (published posthumously in The New Yorker in 2004).

Серед значущих проектів останніх років його життя Річард Аведон (1923–2004) завершив книгу своїх фотографій жінок. Завжди виходячи за межі категорій — він був і фешн-фотографом, і відомий як «поет портрета» — Аведон цікавився тим, як елементарні факти сучасного життя та існування людини відображаються в його роботах. А що може бути більш елементарним, ніж жінки, які століттями зачаровували митців? Дивлячись на свою роботу таким чином, Аведон зміг створити незрівнянний погляд на жінок свого часу, бурхливого півстоліття швидкої зміни суспільних звичаїв, культурних ідеалів, популярних стилів і високої моди.

Як художник, він глибоко реагував на нюанси виразу, жестів і поведінки, і його фотографії незмінно відкривали вікно у внутрішнє життя його суб’єктів. Серед них були знаменитості (Мерилін Монро), художники (Марія Каллас, Ісак Дінесен) і моделі високої моди (Сьюзі Паркер, Кейт Мосс) до жінок, які просто привернули його увагу. Як і найкращі твори мистецтва та літератури, портрети Аведона нагадують насичене життя та складний досвід. Пронизливий нарис історика мистецтва Енн Голландер пропонує огляд жіночих образів Аведона за півстоліття.

Richard Kern likes real women: unpretentious, unadorned, and definitely undressed. Those who love Kern know each book is an invitation to join him in his privileged world where natural young women share their most intimate moments. Richard has never lost his boyish curiosity with girls and their secrets, so instead of posing them in sterile sets he follows them through the house - or rather his New York apartment - from backyard to kitchen to bathroom to bedroom, capturing every sexy and embarrassing moment. Action is his most revealing book yet. For 280 pages we careen through the life of Kern, accompanied by dozens of energetic, fun-loving, clothes-dropping exhibitionists. “Young women want to show the world they’re not like their man-hating women’s lib mothers,” a Kern model once told me, and these girls certainly get the point across. To further assist the young ladies in their rebellion, the book includes an hour-long DVD of original Kern film with an exclusive musical score by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Way to stick it to the Mom, ladies! And thank you, Richard, you lucky dog.

1950s French Riviera: a haven for movie stars who came to the Cannes Film Festival and then stayed on. Away from agents and studio heads, they could relax with their families and spend their days by the pool at the famous Eden Roc, or exploring the tiny sunbaked villages along the coastline. In the evenings there was a glittering choice of events - gala nights, the Sporting d’Ete, or dinner and dancing at Les Ambassadeurs in Cannes. Irish photographer Edward Quinn stepped, by accident, into this international society when visiting a friend in Monte Carlo a few years after the war. He fell in love with the Côte d’Azur and realised he might make his living photographing the stars taking their ease, off the screen.

The stars he photographed are names that are a roll call of cinematic artistocracy: Garbo, Taylor, Brando, Grant, Peck, Bergman, Hayworth, Hepburn, Cooper, Welles, Loren, Lollobrigida, Dietrich…and of course Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier.

Many of these photographs have never been exhibited or published before. They are a record of an age when "star quality" came with a lifestyle to match, when tiaras, ballgowns and dinner jackets were de rigeur every evening: an age of elegance.

156 duotone photographs

The French Riviera of the Fifties was an exciting place with much change in the air. Rock and roll and the bikini, existentialism and the atom bomb. Edward Quinn chronicled a playground that was influenced by international trends, but very much its own universe. On the Riviera every night was a party.

Born in Dublin in 1920, Edward Quinn played Hawaiian guitar in Belfast, then went into the Royal Air Force. He eventually made his way to the Cфte d'Azur, where he photographed world leaders, glamour girls and playboys, as well as figures from the worlds of art, music and literature. His most memorable work included images of an unknown Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly's first meeting with Prince Rainier, and a precocious Brigitte Bardot. His exacting eye showcased Picasso, T.S. Eliot, and Gary Cooper. With a polished technique and great patience and charm, Quinn caught some of the post-war Riviera's most memorable moments.

* A tantalizing look at post-war leisure, sure to appeal to photography aficionados and culture buffs alike
* Packaged in a special linen slipcase, and accompanied by an authentic Edward Quinn photo print, signed by his widow Gret Quinn
* A must-have for lovers of Riviera glamour, fifties-style

This stunning collection showcases this legend’s most famous works as well as some recently re-discovered images.

Born in Budapest in 1913, the self-schooled Robert Capa is considered the father of photo-journalism.

A fervent anti-war campaigner, it was his powerful record of the Spanish Civil War that brought him global fame. On moving to the USA in 1939, he became a war correspondent for Life magazine and the US military and cofounded the Magnum photo agency. His fearless chronicle of the Allied landings gained critical and public acclaim. Capa’s untimely death in 1954 came after a serious landmine injury in Vietnam.

 - A worthy tribute to a crucial figure in photo-journalism
 - A fascinating chronicle of some of the 20th-Century’s key moments

A photographic view of the world through the eyes of a driven humanist, including hundreds of previously unseen images and encompassing the suffering of his work, as well as the tenderness, humor, and wonder of his subjects

Capa's (1913-1954) photographs have become icons of the horrors and futility of war. This volume contains some of his most dramatic pictures of the battles he covered the Spanish Civil War, the Japanese invasion of China in 1938, the European theater during WWII, the Israeli War for Independence in 1948 and the French-Indochina War.

Capa risked his life to capture these images, going ashore in Normandy with the first wave of troops to hit Omaha Beach on D-Day, parachuting into Germany with American troops in 1945 and accompanying French soldiers on a mission in Vietnam, where he was killed when he stepped on a land mine. Whelan (Alfred Stieglitz: A Biography) points out that Capa showed sympathy for soldiers and civilians on both sides of every conflict, and the compassionate aspect of his work is underscored by the inclusion of sensitive pictures that have nothing to do with war, such as scenes of Chinese children playing in the snow and a U.S. medic treating a German soldier in 1943.

This beautifully produced book is a fitting tribute to one of the great photographers of our time.

This is the first book to reproduce the definitive set of 937 rarely seen and classic images by Robert Capa (1913-54), one of the most influential documentary photographers of the twentieth century. Capa, a founding member of Magnum photographic agency, had the mind of a passionate and committed journalist and the eye of an artist. His lifework, consisting of more than 70,000 negatives, constitutes an unparalleled documentation of a crucial 22-year period (1932-54), encompassing some of the most catastrophic and dramatic events of the last century.

This book represents the most definitive selection of Capa's work ever published - 937 photographs meticulously selected by his brother Cornell Capa (himself a noted Life photographer), and his biographer, Richard Whelan. The photographs, arranged in chronological order as stories and accompanied by brief commentaries, reveal the dramatic shifts in location and subject matter that Capa experienced from day to day - from war-torn Israel to Pablo Picasso on a sunny beach in France, and from Ernest Hemingway carousing in London to Capa's historic images of the Allied landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy in 1944.

About the Authors:

Robert Capa, born in Hungary, was known for his extreme bravery, amazing eye, and irresistible charm. He was a co-founder of the Magnum cooperative picture agency and died in 1954 after stepping on a landmine while on an assignment in Indochina. His life and work were inextricably linked, and both have had a marked influence on generations of photographers.
Richard Whelan is an outstanding authority on Capa's life and work. He is a New York-based independent cultural historian and the author of several books, including acclaimed biographies of Robert Capa and Alfred Stieglitz.

Robert Capa, the most celebrated photojournalist of the 20th century and a founder of Magnum Photos, used Paris as a global platform for his photog­raphy throughout his career. Robert Capa: The Paris Years 1933–1954 tells Capa’s story by focusing on his Paris studio.

Recently many artefacts have surfaced, including the so-called “Mexican suitcase,” which contained Capa’s Spanish civil war negatives. These newly discovered documents, which were either created in or found in his Paris studio, are featured in the book.

With original textual analysis and both rare and renowned images, Robert Capa offers a newly informed, fresh look into the life of this revered photographer.
