Summary:
Dirk Leyman became interested at a very young age in these peculiar accordion postcard albums, which every self-respecting tourist and souvenir hunter used to take home from their holiday. Dirk started to systematically collect them as time went by. The snapshots, which are folded in zig-zag fashion, are like relics of a long-gone era. Some are veritable typographical and photographic gems. Others are borderline kitsch, with their heavy-handed use of color. Europe Express spans the decades between the two World Wars to the early Eighties, with photos of San Marco in Venice and the elegant Grand Hotels and the utopian, upstanding world of the former Soviet Union.

Summary:
One of the common features of communist regimes is the use of art for revolutionary means. Posters in particular have served as beacons of propaganda – vehicles of coercion, instruction, censure and debate – in every communist nation.

Summary:
One of the common features of communist regimes is the use of art for revolutionary means. Posters in particular have served as beacons of propaganda – vehicles of coercion, instruction, censure and debate – in every communist nation. They have promoted the authority of state and revolution, but have also been used as an effective means of protest. By their nature posters are ephemeral, tied to time and place, but many have had far-reaching, long-lasting impact. They are imbued with both artistic integrity and personal conviction – Bolshevik posters, for example, are among the most vibrant, passionate graphics in art history. This is the first truly global survey of the history and variety of communist poster art. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, and examines a different region of the world: Russia, China, Mongolia, Eastern Europe, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba. This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive survey examines the broad range of political and visual cultures of communist posters, and will appeal to a wide audience interested in art, history and politics.

Mouvement artistique majeur depuis bientôt cinquante ans, le street art enflamme aujourd'hui la planète. Face à une crise économique et morale généralisée, les murs tiennent de nouveau le haut du pavé, portent la parole et les cris de street artists indignés. Ils investissent en force le social et le politique et dénoncent une réalité asphyxiante. Ces murs-là nous interpellent, nous provoquent, nous appellent à la vigilance, et affirment aussi que, dans un monde saturé d'images toutes faites, le street art peut avoir un double rôle à jouer : sentinelle de notre société et éveilleur de consciences.

Summary:
Postcard America offers a comprehensive study of linen postcards and their cultural significance. Drawing on the production files of Curt Teich & Co. of Chicago, the originator of linen postcards, Jeffrey L. Meikle reveals how photographic views were transformed into colorized postcard images, often by means of manipulation—adding and deleting details or collaging bits and pieces from several photos. He presents two extensive portfolios of postcards—landscapes and cityscapes—that comprise a representative iconography of linen postcard views. For each image, Meikle explains the postcard’s subject, describes aspects of its production, and places it in social and cultural contexts. In the concluding chapter, he shifts from historical interpretation to a contemporary viewpoint, considering nostalgia as a motive for collectors and others who are fascinated today by these striking images.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage rend compte de la naissance et du développement du livre d'artiste aux États-Unis et en Europe en relation étroite avec les avant-gardes des années...› Lire la suite soixante et soixante-dix : poésie concrète et visuelle, Fluxus, Art minimal, Art conceptuel, Arte povera, Art narratif, Land Art, art de la performance ou du happening, notamment. Parce qu'il est inséparable de l'émergence de ces formes inédites de la création qui vont constituer l'art dit "contemporain", le livre d'artiste est une excellente introduction à la compréhension de ses principaux enjeux comme à la diversité de ses manifestations. Ce livre constitue la synthèse la plus large à ce jour de la production internationale. Depuis sa première édition en 1997, il s'est imposé en France et à l'étranger comme l'étude de référence sur le sujet. Pour cette nouvelle édition, le texte, mis à jour et augmenté, s'est enrichi de nombreuses reproductions. Plus de sept cents livres y sont analysés, par près de quatre cents artistes dont les pionniers Ben, Robert Barry, Christian Boltanski, Marcel Broodthaers, Herman de Vries, Robert Filliou, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Allan Kaprow, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Maurizio Nannucci, Dieter Roth, Edward Ruscha, Daniel Spoerri, Wolf Vostell, Lawrence Weiner.
