Jean-Paul Goude, Jahrgang 1940, Franzose mit amerikanischer Mutter und Kindheit in New York, gilt als der Crack seines Metiers. Und sein Metier ist nichts weniger als die schillernde, sich ständig neu erfindende Welt von Werbung, Mode, Design und Image Making. Ein künstlerisch hochbegabtes Multitalent mit Hang zu Exotik und Provokation, hält er die Medienszene jetzt schon seit über 30 Jahren in Atem. Grace Jones, sein berühmtestes »Geschöpf«, wurde durch ihn zur Ikone der 80er Jahre; seine legendären Werbekampagnen für Chanel, Kodak oder Perrier wirken bis heute nach; er illustriert und photographiert Mode mit soviel Witz und Dynamik wie keiner vor ihm, hat Unmengen innovativer Video-Clips, TV-Spots und Filme gedreht – und die grandiose Parade zum 200. Jahrestag der Französischen Revolution inszeniert. So weit, so Goude ist die von ihm selbst zusammengestellte Monographie zu Leben und Werk eines genialen Alleskönners, der auch noch schreiben kann: launig und amüsant schildert er, unterstützt von dem französischen Schriftsteller Patrick Mauriès, seinen erstaunlichen Werdegang.

Through never-before-seen photographs and intriguing personal diaries, this beautiful book provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of Countess Sophia Tolstoy and her husband, Leo Tolstoy - one of the greatest authors of all time - set against the grand and terrifying backdrop of aristocratic Russia on the brink of its demise.

Between 1885 and 1910, Countess Tolstoy made more than a thousand photographs representing her entire world - from artists to aristocrats to peasants to family, from the Crimea to Moscow to the family estate 100 kilometers to the south. She also kept detailed diaries, which sweep us into fashionable balls and local gossip...magical scenes of winter in Russia...and devastating famine in the countryside. Sophia's works deepen our understanding of the era as well as of this amazing woman, who had thirteen children, battled a troubled marriage, and, though blessed with a creative life of her own, was so devoted to her husband's career that she hand-copied his great works Anna Karenina and War and Peace many times over.

Song Without Words showcases the photographs by theme, with Sophia's writings providing emotional context for many of the images. Commentary by author Leah Bendavid-Val weaves through the book, linking diaries with pictures and placing each in its historical and literary setting.

Autobiographical in nature, yet global in its true scope, Song Without Words brings to light the gifts of a major figure whose previously unknown works enrich our knowledge of literature, photography, and history.

Mark Markov-Grinberg (1907–2006) is one of the Soviet era’s greatest photographers, ranking alongside Aleksandr Rodčenko and Gustav Klutsis in his energetic portrayals of an optimistic, rapidly changing country as it segwayed into the Stalin years. Markov-Grinberg learned photo-journalism in the mid-1920s, while working at the newspaper Sovyetski Yug (Soviet South). In the early 1930s he moved to Moscow to become a correspondent for the Soyuzfoto agency. Today he is perhaps best known for his photographs of red stars replacing double-headed eagles on the Kremlin towers, or his portraits of Nikita Izotov (Coal and Roses series), Yuri Gagarin, Maksim Gor'kij, David Oistrakh, Ilya Ehrenburg and Sergej Ėjzenštejn - photographs that helped to define the culture of the USSR in the 1930s, and all of which are included here. Often juxtaposing the march of industrialization with rural scenes, this volume reproduces those iconic images of those heady times alongside numerous previously unseen pictures, recording a pivotal and dramatic half-century of Russian history.

The follow up to Soviet Cities by acclaimed Russian photographer and Instagram sensation Arseniy Kotov. A photography book featuring four areas of the post-Soviet republics seen over four different seasons

The follow up to Soviet Cities by acclaimed Russian photographer and Instagram sensation Arseniy Kotov. A photography book featuring four areas of the post-Soviet republics seen over four different seasonsIn Soviet Seasons Kotov’s photographs reveal unfamiliar aspects of the post-Soviet terrain. From snow-blanketed Siberia in winter, to the mountains of the Caucasus in summer, these images show how a once powerful, utopian landscape has been affected by the weight of nature itself.

This uniquely broad perspective could only be achieved by a photographer such as Kotov. Singularly dedicated to exploring every corner of his country, Kotov often hitch-hikes across vast distances. On these journeys he chronicles not only the architectural achievements of the Soviet empire, but also its overlooked or simply undocumented constructions.

Arseniy Kotov: ‘In this book I want to show how beautiful and diverse are the cities and nature of this vast region at different times of the year. I have travelled widely across Russia and neighbouring countries, where I captured the landscape of post-Soviet cities and witnessed the seasonal changes.’

About the Authors:

Born in Samara in 1988, Arseniy Kotov grew up in an urban landscape consisting of standardised Soviet-era housing blocks and industrial towers. He has been taking photographs of city landscapes since he was a teenager. At the age of 25 he decided to hitch-hike across Russia and then on to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine. During 2016-20 Arseniy Kotov visited all of the post-soviet republics, where he photographed more than two hundred cities. Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell have been publishing critically acclaimed books on Soviet culture since 2004 with their Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia. More recent titles include Chernobyl; A Stalkers’ Guide, Spomenik Monument Database and Soviet Bus Stops.

  The list of celebrities who have sat for New York-based photographer reads like a Who's Who in American show business. Sirota's works is highly distinctive, her approach unconventional, and she has an extremely intense relationship to her subjects. In fact, it is Sirota's autodidactic style, perhaps, which lies at the heart of her success. Many of these photos, originally published under the title Guess Who, are part of a series of enigmatic and misleading portraits of celebrities. By disguising faces that are otherwise immediately recognizable, Sirota raises questions about the genre of celebrity portraiture, and allows us to look beyond the glamorous surface and into the person within. In addition, this volume includes many of Sirota's intriguing investigative and landscape photographs.

All of the works have one thing in common: They cross borders, flirt with visual puns and allow the viewer a revealing glimpse behind the behind the faзade.

Collected in this portfolio are provocative color images from a British photographer who has become the most successful of his generation. Martin Parr has best expressed himself through books (Home and Abroad, Think of England, The Last Resort) in which he uses a subjective documentary approach that is often at odds with the more journalistic style of reportage. His focus on the themes of mass tourism, mass consumption, mass marketing, and global homogenization shows us an environmentally destroyed world in which the major saving grace is a gritty, very British sense of humor.
