Summary:
László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) was one of the most ardent seekers of the ‘New Vision’ among the early twentieth century avant-garde artists. His ongoing preoccupation with the phenomenon of light defined all periods of his artistic creativity, and his strength lay in his effortless skill translating light and spatial dimensions from one medium to another. In the early 1930s the first color processes became widely available. After he had mastered the different fields of black/white photography, it was only to be expected that Moholy would focus his creative energy on the next hot issue among photographers. Color photography proved to be one of Moholy’s most important media of artistic production, but until now, with a few exceptions, his work in the field of color photography is unknown. This book presents 100 works — advertisements, portraits, urban views, New Bauhaus studies, and abstract compositions — from the early days of Moholy’s experimentation with color in 1934 until his death in 1946. A foreword by Hattula Moholy-Nagy, an introductory essay and extended captions by Jeannine Fiedler, a chronology and bibliography will present the history of color photography and the significance of these works in Moholy’s own oeuvre.

Summary:
Chen Changfen (b. 1941) began to photograph the Great Wall twenty years before the Chinese government officially adopted it as the national symbol in 1984. This fascinating book presents a small fraction of his decades-long study of the monumental form and conveys the fertile range of themes and ideas that Chen has investigated, each informed by traditional Chinese art, history, and philosophy. Combining a unique blend of traditional and contemporary technical processes, Chen's richly evocative photographs at once celebrate the remarkable series of building campaigns that produced the Wall and memorialize the thousands of conscripted labourers whose lives were sacrificed to its construction. One of the most striking features of Chen's photographs is their unexpected variety of perspectives and moods, capturing the vicissitudes of weather, time, and human history that have acted upon it. By excluding the people, highways, factories, and modern buildings that encroach on and daily destroy sections of the Wall, however, Chen eliminates major aspects of the Wall's present reality from his pictures. In a thoughtful essay and interview with the artist, Anne Wilkes Tucker probes the meanings of such omissions and guides the reader through Chen's extraordinary images. "The Great Wall of China" is essential reading for photographers, historians, and travellers.

Summary:
Pedro Guerrero spent his entire career, more than 60 years, photographing houses of some of the most illustrious American architects and artists of the twentieth century. Emerging from a modest background, his first professional job at the age of twenty-two in 1939 was photographing Taliesin West, the Arizona home of Frank Lloyd Wright. For the next 20 years, Guerrero was the chief visual interpreter of Wright's home. Guerrero was soon photographing houses belonging to such legendary artists and architects as Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, Marcel Breuer, John Huston, Philip Johnson, Julia Child, Edward Stone, and Alexi Brodovitch. Spanning nearly a century, "Pedro E. Guerrero : a photographer's journey" is a fascinating memoir illustrated with over 190 of the author's own photographs. Guerrero steps out from behind the camera and, for the first time, tells his own story along with the stories of the contradictory and complex lives of the extraordinary people he has known, including candid anecdotes about the personal quirks of some of America's legendary magazine editors, architects, and artists.

Summary:
Since making his earliest documentary photographs in the 1950s, David Plowden has honored those proud structures and places that America has discarded — from brawny commercial and industrial centers to small towns and farms. He reveres the honest work and spirit that built them. But the scene has changed much in the last five decades, and what's left of the honesty of small communities and the working of the land is all but gone, dealt a death blow by outsourcing, conglomerization, and our incessant drive to buy cheap at any cost. The America of these photographs is a bittersweet reminder of things once cherished and a life no longer possible. Deserted Main Streets and crumbling facades stare at us blindly. Abandoned houses and buildings reach back to ground. Plowden's work is a sad symphony — incomparably and irresistibly beautiful, while reminding us of our loss.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage rétrospectif, jalonné de regards portés par Robert Delpire, Dominique Eddé, Michel Frizot, Anna Fàrovà, Petr Kràl, Otomar Krejca, Pierre Soulages et Gilles Tiberghien, rassemble les différentes étapes de l'œuvre de Koudelka et montre sa constante progression en intensité : dès ses premiers travaux (publiés pour la première fois), ses photographies de théâtre, ses images des gitans, de l'invasion de Prague en 1968, la série Exils, jusqu'à ses panoramiques les plus récents. Biographie de l'auteur Josef Koudelka a quitté Prague en 1970. A cette date, il a déjà photographié l'invasion de la Tchécoslovaquie par les soviétiques et réalisé un travail sur les gitans. Exilé, solitaire, il traverse le monde, rencontre les hommes avec une exceptionnelle proximité à leurs vies, leurs tristesses, leurs douleurs, leurs joies. Il fait preuve d'une rage de voir peu commune. D'une composition toujours d'une grande justesse, ses images, hors du temps, ne donnent aucun repère. Pas d'autre certitude. Seulement l'évidence de l'intensité du regard, chargé d'émotion, que porte Koudelka sur la singularité des lieux, des objets et des hommes, l'œuvre de Josef Koudelka atteste qu'il est un photographe d'une personnalité et d'une puissance rare.

Il y a trois mille ans, au pied des hautes terres du Yémen, à l'orée du désert, par la seule maîtrise des crues d'orage, de grandes cités naquirent des sables, entourées de palmeraies, de jardins et de vignobles. La plus connue d'entre elles était Ma'rib, capitale d'un royaume sur lequel aurait régné la mythique reine de Saba, ville célèbre aussi pour ses oasis et sa digue, l'une des plus anciennes merveilles hydrauliques de l'Antiquité. Sur les murs d'enceinte, les piliers des temples, les façades des maisons, les rochers ou les pétioles de palmes, les Sudarabes gravèrent leurs messages, destinés aux dieux et aux hommes, dans une écriture simple et belle comme la naissance du jour. Un photographe et un épigraphiste, spécialistes de l'éctriture sudarabique, ont parcouru ce Yémen encore mal connu pour en rapporter un livre où se conjuguent leur lecture de la lumière et des pierres.

Summary:
Michel Denancé est photographe, spécialisé en architecture. D'ordinaire, il photographie des bâtiments neufs, œuvres d'architectes prestigieux. Ici, c'est aux maisons murées qu'il s'intéresse, aux immeubles condamnés, aux Petites Agonies de Paris et de sa banlieue. Mathieu Belezi, Jeanne Benameur, Abdelkader Djemaï, Mourad Djebel, Jacques Jouet, Marcus Malte sont écrivains. D'ordinaire, ils publient des romans, des polars, des recueils de poésie ou des pièces de théâtre. Ici, les bâtiments en fin de vie de Michel Denancé leur ont inspiré à chacun un court récit inédit. Pour quoi James Blondel transporte-t-il un à un des parpaings dans l'escalier de la maison de sa mère morte ? Que diable Alfred Hitchcock va-t-il découvrir en ôtant une rangée verticale de moellons pour pénétrer dans l'appartement des Thorwald ? Casper le fantôme et le petit Joseph N'Gotty ne sont-ils qu'une seule et même personne ? Les fenêtres bouchées, qui marquent la fin d'une histoire, stimulent paradoxalement les imaginaires : la photographie dialogue avec la littérature dans un espace étrangement familier.
