Lois Renner: Pictures 1991-2002

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLois Renner`s photographic works show seemingly ordinary depictions of artists` studios. And yet, the furniture--utterly diverse in scale, consisting of found objects from the artist`s surroundings as well as paintings--confuse the viewer`s sense of spatial logic and evoke thoughts of photomontage or digital reprocessing. In reality, Renner rebuilt the old studio at his Salzburg house on a 1:10 scale at his studio in Vienna and proceeded to photograph this carefully composed model from different points of view--a photographic method explicitly oriented on the complex structure of old paintings, thus uniting the possibilities of both media, painting and photography. The picture index at hand, which was compiled in close cooperation with the artist, documents the development of Lois Renner`s work since 1991, including his newest pieces. Edited by Maribel Koniger.~Essays by Rupert Pfab and Martin Hochleitner. Hardcover, 9.5 x 11.75 in./324 pgs / 388 color 0 BW0… [detailed...]

Lola Alvarez Bravo

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This first comprehensive monograph in English for Mexico`s first major woman photographer tracks a career equally exceptional for its remarkable range and for its compelling quality. Lola Alvarez Bravo explored her calling through photojournalism, commercial work and professional portrait-making, even as she was creating intensely personal images of people, places and things throughout her native Mexico. In addition, she played a vital role in the Mexican cultural scene as an inspiring teacher, a friend of innumerable artists (many of whom she photographed), and as the owner of a prestigious gallery that presented the first solo show by her friend Frida Kahlo, the subject of some of Alvarez Bravo`s most powerful portraits. Although some of her photographs reflect the influence of her husband, Manuel Alvarez Bravo--they shared the same cameras and often the same roll of film--Lola had achieved her own aesthetic by the 1940s and 50s, concentrating on two particularly vivid bodies of… [detailed...]

Description: The Art Deco movement flourished throughout the 1920s and 30s and following the 1925 `Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes` in Paris, from which the style took its name, became the first truly international design movement, rapidly spreading around the world. Each country assimilated Art Deco in a different way, adapting it to suit its own historic traditions in terms of design, materials and techniques. In Britain, Art Deco developed in ways that reflected the country`s imperial status and the national love of architectural detail. In London, in particular, Art Deco quickly became the style of choice for a succession of landmark buildings: from the elegant Savoy Hotel, through ornate West End theatres, to imposing temples of commerce such as the `Daily Express` building in Fleet Street or the Hoover factory on the new Great West Road. Remarkably, many of the city`s Art Deco buildings still survive -their once grime-covered facades now mostly… [detailed...]

Milk bars, ice-cream parlours and espresso bars are all a feature of the London landscape that were borne out of the 1940s to 1960s. It is a time when floods of immigrants set up their businesses providing frothy coffee to the city’s workers. Today, many of these establishments still function as caffs and have their original elaborate and shiny machines that continue to dispense no end of steam and cups of tea, and still feature vinyl and tiled floors and walls. This book provides an affectionate look at one of London`s endangered species`, featuring 28 caffs throughout the capital. Each example is accompanied by anecdotal captions which evoke the atmosphere and context of each place, as well as addresses and nearest tube stations, so that anyone wanting a fix of old-style London can go and find it.
