John Langmore began cowboying in 1975 at the age of twelve, after his father photographed the seminal book, "The Cowboy." John spent twelve summers cowboying across the West before pursuing a professional career. In 2012, after thirty years away from his time in the saddle, John began a six-year project photographing fourteen of the nation's largest and most famous ranches. Of all those who have photographed the cowboy, John is one of the few who came to it first as a cowboy and only later as a photographer. John's photographs and writings reflect this deep connection to the cowboy world and offer an unrivaled chance to witness a way of life that many dream of but few experience.

diCorcia's curation of "disparate photographs," from his early career to his first solo shows"The disparate photographs assembled here were made over the course of twenty years. None of them were originally intended to be used in this book. By ordering and shaping them I tried to investigate the possibilities of narrative both within a single image and especially in relation to the other photographs. A Storybook Life is an attempt to discover the possibilities of meaning in the interaction of seemingly unrelated images in the hope that content can constantly mutate according to both the external and internal condition of the viewer, but remain meaningful because of its inherent, but latent content. The conscious and subconscious decisions made in editing the photographs are the real work of A Storybook Life." --Philip-Lorca diCorcia (born 1953)

Being a Sapeur is more than a way of dressing, more than a hobby and more than a means of earning money and respect. It's a prestigious brotherhood with its own moral and social codes and ultimately it is a way of life and survival. For many it is an escape daily problems and hardships, dressing up and parading in the streets makes them feel important, allowing them to forget their daily struggles in a chaotic Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Often treated as celebrities, their embodied art form brings them both a touch of glamour and a reprieve from the humble, bleak, and even destitute neighbourhoods they have spent their entire lives in. Rival Sapeur groups compete for attention and visibility in the streets, at events and on television and radio shows. Despite their obsession with fashion, most will never experience first hand the sights of the fashion capitals of the world.

Readers may wonder what is my interest in Surrealism and its rebellious 20-20 (20 more famous and 20 less popular) women artists? Well, I took my first art history class at Broward Community College under the tutelage of Mr. G. I. Sullivan and never looked back. Given the historical times they lived in, where women were literally seen (in the artworks), but not heard of as the artist, only as the muse/model. As a result, we did not hear much about them. Before diving into who the women artists were, its best to trace the historical periods from ancient or the prehistoric period, through the middle ages, and finally present times. Bear in mind that the periods overlap and can reemerge (Artland Editors, n.d.; Sayre, 1997). Over the centuries, we learned of all the male artists. Names like Picasso, Dali, Rivera, and Hopper, as well as many of the more popularly known old masters like Rembrandt, Monet, da Vinci, Michelangelo, van Gogh, and Warhol that quickly rolled off our tongues. But what of the great female artists over the centuries? Do we know of them? The aim of the book is to have the great women artists' names entrenched in our memories and rolling off our tongues too. In this section, the book will also acquaint you with some of the these great artists (not Surrealists at this juncture), beginning with the renaissance period and ending with the twentieth century (Sayre, 1997). Surrealism is defined as an European cultural movement, developed after World War I in which artists depict "unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself" ("Surrealism", 2022) that infected artists around the world. The first volume of the book looks at a random sample the lives and works of Surrealism's 20 More Popularly Known (MPK) artists. Do you want to know who they are? Read on.

Arcadia - a utopian land where man lives in harmony with nature, where war, worry and disease are absent, where tranquility, solidarity and happiness are everlasting - has a long tradition stretching back to antiquity. Originally a remote landscape in the Peloponnese, said within ancient Greek mythology to be inhabited by the gods and spirits of nature, this earthly paradise was transformed into an imaginary idyll by the Roman poet Virgil in his pastoral poems, and has lived on in Western art, intellectual history, and the imagination ever since.In Arcadian Sketchbook - photographed between 2020-2021 - Wolfgang Strassl wanders along his nearby river in search of peace of mind, amongst many others who were seeking the same at the time. As he explains, "I looked for Arcadia, simply on my own doorstep, and I found it there."

Giorgio de Chirico was one of the most controversial and consequential artists of the twentieth century a key member of the Paris avant-garde, he was a major influence on other artists, especially the nascent surrealists. His repertoire of motifs empty arcades, elongated shadows, mannequins, trains created images of forlorn emptiness that became iconic. Artists inspired by de Chirico's early work include Yves Tanguy, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalâi, and Renâe Magritte. His influence also extended beyond painting and included writers and poets Guillaume Apollinaire, Andrâe Breton, John Ashbery, and Sylvia Plath, filmmakers Jacques Prâevert and Michelangelo Antonioni, and even David Bowie, who admired de Chirico's genderless tailors dummies that inspired his music videos. After the Great War, he turned toward neoclassicism and bitterly fell out with the surrealists and the mainstream modernist movementin the process, becoming an outspoken outsider of the art world.

Abandoned Ireland travels the length and breadth of the island of Ireland visiting and documenting our forgotten buildings, highlighting their social importance, and bringing their stories back to life through the medium of photography. From big houses to humble cottages, schools to prisons, churches to dance halls, these buildings may now be abandoned, but they are far from empty. As a photographer, Brownlie's instincts are remarkable. In the seemingly ruined and mundane she finds diamonds in the rough; her images of the ordinary ephemera of past lives--dusty love letters, rusting spectacles, photographs yellowed and curled with age--paint the pictures of real people and full lives. Rebecca Brownlie's photography reverberates with the echoes of our ancestors. Bursting with engaging and often surprising details, each haunting photograph is an invitation to immerse yourself in history, and an Ireland long gone.
