Seit TASCHEN im Jahr 1996 The Great American Pin-up herausbrachte, hat diese genuin amerikanische Kunstform international stark an Reputation gewonnen. Die leicht geschürzten Mädchen, die ursprünglich als Kalendergirls und Seelentrost die Spinde von Soldaten und Arbeitern zierten, fanden damals lediglich das Interesse einiger fanatischer Sammler. Mittlerweile haben sie es in die angesehensten Museen der Welt geschafft. Bilder von Größen der Pin-up-Kunst wie Alberto Vargas, George Petty oder Gil Elvgren , die 1996 noch für 2.000 Dollar zu haben waren, kosten heute 200.000 Dollar und mehr. Allein schon aus Höflichkeit haben es sich die hübsch gemalten Mädchen auch auf ihrem Weg in die museale Anerkennung nicht nehmen lassen, bisweilen zu stolpern, um kurze Blicke auf ihre Höschen und damit ihr Kerngeschäft zu gestatten: ein wenig teasen , ein bisschen Bein zeigen und die Fantasie beflügeln - alles natürlich im halbwegs sittsamen Rahmen! Ausgehend von unserem gefeierten XXL-Kompendium The Art of Pin-up versammelt diese erschwinglichere Ausgabe die Top 10 dieser Kunstform in ausführlichen Einzelporträts. Jedes Kapitel dokumentiert den kreativen Prozess mit historischen Dokumenten - Fotos der Models, die als Vorlagen dienten, zeitgenössischen Drucken etc. -, von denen viele in der legendären Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company fotografiert wurden, die das weltweit größte Archiv an Vintage-Pin-up-Kalendern beherbergt.

The Brazilian painter Maxwell Alexandre, 32, has soared rapidly in the art world, with solo exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MAC Lyon, the David Zwirner Gallery in London, and recently the Shed, New York, and La Casa Encencida in Madrid. Formerly a professional roller-skater from Rochina, a favela of Rio de Janeiro, Alexandre includes references to the local culture, from scenes of confrontation with the police to symbols of football or church. Popular culture, in the form of logos, brands, and iconic personalities, also populates his work. ¿It was not a political choice. It was a self-portrait. I¿m Black, I¿m painting Black people. The first four paintings I did on pardo [Pardo é Papel series] were self-portraits before I realized the meaning of pardo. I never wanted to be a banner of the identity of Black people in the favela, but it was my own identity,¿ he explains.In this book, Maxwell Alexandre presents his new series, ¿Delivery¿. In this new body of work, he moves away from the brown kraft paper that has been the signature support for his ¿Pardo é Papel¿ series, to painting directly onto doors. As the name suggests, at the center of this series are the (mostly) men and women who assure the food delivery services that have become ubiquitous worldwide. Maxwell Alexandre¿s work is in the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, the Museu de arte de São Paulo (MASP) and the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) collections. The artist was in residency at the Delfina Foundation (London, 2018), then later at the MAC Lyon (2019). He is represented by the gallery A Gentil Carioca (Rio).

In this book, Di Gammage & Robert Dighton explore the fundamental question - what is play? Drawing on the theories most relevant to the therapeutic uses of this powerful healing medium and elucidated with vivid case studies, An Introduction to Play Therapy arrives at a working definition of person-centred play therapy. An ongoing, in-depth case study of the healing journey of a child is studied throughout the book, demystifying the therapeutic relationship and process of change that occurs. Particular attention is given to defining this approach as person-centred rather than child-centred in recognition of the therapist's own process of change and its effect upon the child. The supervision of a play therapist is included, illustrating the need for transparency, humility and enquiry in this professional endeavour. Finally, the authors look to the future of play therapy, its wider potential for improving the quality of children's lives and the areas ripe for research and development. This is an inspiring introduction to play therapy. Its clarity makes it accessible and highly relevant to all professionals and trainees concerned with the well-being of children. It also has much offer the experienced play therapist or child psychotherapist in its respectful provocation of current practice.
