The first complete monograph and retrospective on the sixty-year career of Frank Stewart, photographer of an astonishing range of intimate and empathetic images of Black life, music, and culture.

Frank Stewart’s Nexus presents an overview of the career of this noted photographer, who since the 1960s has captured spontaneous and sensitive portrayals of African American culture in many forms, including art, food, dance, and music—especially jazz. Best known for his work as senior photographer for Jazz at Lincoln Center, Stewart produced energetic street scenes and profound landscapes on his worldwide travels with the orchestra. The intimate and subtle relations between and among people are at the heart of Stewart’s art, whether shot at a Manhattan jazz concert, in the studio of artist Romare Bearden, or during a sacred rite in an African village. This sweeping survey of 103 images, with an artist interview and texts by multiple critical voices, illuminates the evolution of a remarkable career.

A sequence of 99+1 images by Giovanni Chiaramonte, that, while individually significant, together acquire an extraordinary narrative force.

Infinite Realism brings together 99+1 photographs, many of them never published before, taken over a period of two decades from 1980 to the early 2000s. This volume forms an organic overview of Giovanni Chiaramonte’s complex work on the representation of the landscape and the urban view, developed after a long period of theoretical reflection.

In this exploration, Italy offers a privileged vantage point: its territory, which appears as a stratification of cultures and civilizations, tells the story of the whole of the West at a glance. Italy is therefore a “contemporary space,” as it encompasses different eras that are visible simultaneously. The Italian landscape serves as the matrix for reading and understanding the West as a whole — its culture and destiny. It is the lens through which Chiaramonte explores.

The definitive monograph of Glen E. Friedman, a pioneer of skate, punk, and hip-hop photography, including much never-before-published work.

Glen E. Friedman is best known for his work capturing and promoting rebellion in his portraits of artists such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, The Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., and Public Enemy, as well as classic skateboarding originators such as Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, and a very young Tony Hawk. Designed in association with celebrated street and graphic artist Shepard Fairey, this monograph captures the most important and influential underground heroes of skateboarding, punk, and hip-hop cultures. My Rules is an unprecedented window into the three most significant countercultures of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and Friedman’s photographs define those important movements that he helped shape. A remarkable chronicle and a primer about the origins of radical street cultures, My Rules is also a statement of artistic inspiration for those influenced by these countercultures.

Alone Street brings together two major bodies of work by Gregory Crewdson, Cathedral of the Pines (Aperture, 2016) and An Eclipse of Moths (Aperture, 2020), in a single, elegant, and affordable monograph.

Both series expand on the artist’s obsessive exploration of the psychogeography of small-town, post-industrial New England and underscore the precision and depth of Crewdson’s unique mode of photographic storytelling. In each image, light, color, and carefully crafted scenography evoke the feeling that, as art historian Alexander Nemerov has astutely described, “all that ever happened in these places seems crystallized in his tableaux, as if the quiet melancholy of Crewdson’s scenes gathered the unruly sorrows and other little-guessed feelings of people long-gone who once stood on those spots.”

In addition to the full set of images from each series, Alone Street, presents a selection of behind-the-scenes images and storyboards, revealing the extensive preparation and planning that went into the making of each work.

A new collection from the award-winning Magnum photographer.

A master of colour-saturated images, Harry Gruyaert has roamed the world searching for the perfect light for more than forty years. His very intuitive and physical sense of place immerses the spectator in a world that borrows simultaneously from the cinematic universe and from that of the painter. Dissolving the boundaries between the exterior and interior, Between Worlds offers just such a sensory immersion.

No matter the setting, the country or the era, Gruyaert deploys a luminous alchemy suspended in time. Where are we? It doesn’t matter: in Gruyaert’s world, the pleasure of getting lost reigns.

A carefully curated collection of Helmut Newton’s chic, provocative and erotically charged photographs

From his early work for Vogue to his portraits of the rich and famous, Newton conveys a unique vision of a wealthy and glamorous world that often shocks but never ceases to fascinate.

The Photofile series brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an affordable pocket format. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.

About the Author:

Karl Lagerfeld is a German fashion designer, artist, and photographer based in Paris.

Анрі Картьє-Брессон (1908–2004) вивчав живопис, перш ніж зайнятися фотографією, коли йому було двадцять. Один із засновників фотоагенції Magnum (разом із Робертом Капою та іншими), він відомий неперевершеною майстерністю, з якою він знімав найшвидші сцени.

Цей том включає вибрані з його фотографій Францію, Іспанію, Америку, Індію, Росію, Мексику та дореволюційний Китай. Представлений Майклом Брессоном, він чітко показує, як для Картьє-Брессона мистецтво є вираженням загальної людяності.

Henri Cartier-Bresson's photography came to define the 20th century.

This book tells Henri Cartier-Bresson's life story through his images: all the major events from his youth to his death in 2004 are described, contextualized and analysed in the light of his photographic work.

From his early encounters with the Surrealists, his film work and his experiences in the Second World War, to the development of his own personal aesthetic, the concept of the decisive moment, and the foundation of Magnum Photos, his influence on the world has been profound and unforgettable.

Остаточна біографія найвидатнішого фотографа сучасності - важливе доповнення до бібліотеки кожного, хто цікавиться фотографією

Анрі Картьє-Брессон був оком 20 століття. Його об’єктив зафіксував вирішальні моменти свого часу – від перемог китайського комунізму до громадянської війни в Іспанії та визволення Парижа. Співзасновник Magnum Photos, Картьє-Брессон створив неперевершені портрети своїх сучасників, передавши дух Альбера Камю, Жана-Поля Сартра та Вільяма Фолкнера.

Картьє-Брессон протягом багатьох років довіряв П’єру Ассуліну, розповідаючи про його юнацьку прихильність до сюрреалізму, довічну пристрасть до малювання та досвід війни та таборів. Ця делікатна біографія виникає в результаті зустрічі двох розумів, розкритої з тією ж правдою, що й одна з фотографій Картьє Брессона.

Список вмісту:

Вступ • 1. Сімейні нитки: 1908–27 • 2. Вирішальні моменти 1927–31 • 3. Художник у пошуках свого середовища 1932–35 • 4. Кінець Старого Світу 1936–39 • 5. Національність: втікач 1939–46 • 6. Від Нью-Йорка до Нью-Делі 1946–50 • 7. Світ — його студія 1950–70 • 8. Назустріч іншому життю 1970–2004

Про автора:

П’єр Ассулін опублікував кілька біографій діячів культури, серед них книги про Жоржа Сіменона та Ерже.

Цей том представляє власну добірку фотографа Картьє-Брессона зі 130 його фотографій Парижа, зроблених за 50 років. У супровідному тексті розповідається про історію взаємодії Картьє-Брессона з містом та її місце в його досягненнях.

Ця книга пропонує видатну ретроспективну колекцію майстра фотографії 20-го століття Анрі Картьє-Брессона.

Відтворені у вишуканому чорно-білому кольорі, зображення в цій книзі варіюються від найраніших робіт Анрі Картьє-Брессона у Франції, Іспанії та Мексиці до його післявоєнних подорожей Азією, США та Росією, і навіть включають пейзажі 1970-х років, коли він залишив фотоапарат, щоб продовжити малювання. Хоча його інстинкт фіксувати те, що він називав вирішальними моментами, був незрівнянним, як фотожурналіст Картьє-Брессон був особливо стурбований впливом історичних подій на людину. У своїх фотографіях звільнення Франції від нацистів, смерті Ганді та створення Китайської Народної Республіки в 1949 році Картьє-Брессон зосереджувався на реакції натовпу, а не на суб’єктах подій. І хоча його портрети Сартра, Джакометті, Фолкнера, Капоте та інших художників є знаковими, він приділяв таку ж увагу тим, про яких забула історія: мертвому борцю опору, що лежить на березі Рейну, дітям, які граються біля Берлінської стіни, та євнуху в Пекінському імператорському дворі. Поділена на шість тематичних розділів, книга представляє світлини на двох розворотах. У рукописній нотатці, розміщеній у кінці книги, Картьє-Брессон пише: «Щоб надати сенсу світу, людина повинна відчувати причетність до того, що виділяє через видошукач». Його робота показує, як він зміг вловити вирішальний момент із такою надзвичайною скромністю та глибокою людяністю.

Про автора:

Анрі Картьє-Брессон, народжений у 1908 році, почав свою кар’єру з вивчення живопису, перш ніж відкрити для себе фотографію на початку 1930-х років. У 1947 році разом з Робертом Капою, Девідом Сеймуром, Вільямом Вандівертом і Джорджем Роджером заснував легендарне кооперативне агентство Magnum Photos. Картьє-Брессон покинув Magnum Photos у 1974 році, щоб присвятити себе малюнку та живопису до самої смерті в 2004 році. Він досі вважається одним із найвидатніших фотографів двадцятого століття.

The coronation of George VI on 12 May 1937 was one of the biggest media events of the interwar period. While other photographers focused on the new King, his family and the ceremonial splendour of the day, Henri Cartier-Bresson turned his lens on the crowds that gathered in the streets of London to watch the pageantry.

In a witty reversal of the expected order of proceedings, he shows us ordinary people of all ages and walks of life, some climbing on monuments or each other's shoulders, others straining to get a better view with cardboard periscopes and mirrors on sticks. A few even slump on the ground, the festivities having proved too much. Presented alongside contemporary news clippings from around the world, these remarkable images reflect Cartier-Bresson's unmistakeable photographic eye and capture the British public at a unique historical moment.

About the Authors:

Henri Cartier-Bresson, born in 1908, began his career by studying painting before discovering photography in the early 1930s. In 1947 he founded the legendary cooperative agency Magnum Photos together with Robert Capa, David Seymour, William Vandivert and George Rodger. Cartier-Bresson left Magnum Photos in 1974 to devote himself to drawing and painting until his death in 2004. He is still considered one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century.

Clément Chéroux is director of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris. He has also held senior curatorial positions at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

A career-to-date retrospective of a unique creative talent

Hyperborea presents unforgettable visual tales of life in the Siberian Arctic that photographer Evgenia Arbugaeva knew when she was growing up in Tiksi, a town on the shore of the Laptev Sea in the Republic of Yakutia. Her work discloses both the fragility and beautiful desolation of the land and those who inhabit it, and her rigorously composed photographs glow with rich otherworldly colour, bristle with the raw vibrancy of the climate and exhibit the quiet intensity of lives borne out in seclusion and extremes.

This beautifully produced photobook contains a decade of work, with photographs selected from across the full range of Arbugaeva’s series and extensive travels across the Russian Arctic coast and to connect with people living in these remote and inhospitable places. The photographs that she brings back from her long-term visits convey a world where everything seems connected: humans and nature, the sky and the land. An elemental space of deep solitude and slower pace of life. Her images invite us to contemplate a territory that has been a place of longing and imagination for many, which is now under existential threat from a multitude of environmental changes.

With an introduction by Piers Vitebsky, four texts by Arbugaeva to supplement the images, and a specially commissioned map to provide a sense of where Arbugaeva’s work is located, Hyperborea is a future collectible for all photobook fans and an introduction to a global audience of a very special talent in the world of photography.

About the Author:

Evgenia Arbugaeva is a Russia-born, London-based photographer, a National Geographic Society Storytelling Fellow, and a recipient of the ICP Infinity Award and the Leica Oskar Barnack Award. Her work has been exhibited internationally and appeared in such publications as National Geographic, Time and The New Yorker magazines among others.

Anton Corbijn’s new feature film, a suspense thriller starring George Clooney, is set in Sweden and the Abruzzo region of Italy. Filled with candid on- and off-set photographs by director and set photographer Corbijn and accompanied by his diary-style writing, this book provides a unique insight into the making of The American.

Despite Prohibition, the '20s was the decade of jazz, flappers and hip flasks.

While some took their vote and joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Movement, others, well, took liberties. Compiled here for the first time are more than 200 publicity stills and photos of some of America's first "It" girls - the silent film-era starlets who paved the way for the cacophony of Monroes and Madonnas to follow.

Accompanying these iconic images are the stories behind them, including accounts from surviving Ziegfeld Girls, as well as ads featuring them that helped perpetuate the allure of It girl glamour.

When rare and striking portraits of these women surfaced on the internet in 1995, author Robert Hudovernik began researching their source. What he discovered was the work of one of the first "star makers" identified most with the Ziegfeld Follies, Alfred Cheney Johnston. Johnston, a member of New York's famous Algonquin Round Table who photographed such celebrities as Mary Pickford, Fanny Brice, the Gish Sisters, and Louise Brooks, fell out of the spotlight with the demise of the revue.

A sumptuous snapshot of an era, this book is also a look at the work of this "lost" photographer.
