Roger Fry - A Biography by Virginia Woolf offers an intimate and insightful portrait of one of the most influential figures in the British art world, Roger Eliot Fry (1866-1934). As a pioneering painter, critic, and a key member of the Bloomsbury Group, Fry was instrumental in introducing modern art to Britain, coining the term 'Post-Impressionism' and championing the works of artists like Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. In this biography, Woolf captures the essence of Fry's life and contributions, blending her deep understanding of art with her renowned literary style. Through Woolf's narrative, readers gain a deeper appreciation of Fry's impact on the art world, as well as his complex personality and relationships within the Bloomsbury Group.This edition also includes Woolf's essay The Art of Biography, where she reflects on the challenges and nuances of writing a life story, providing further context to her approach in documenting Fry's life. Published by Read & Co. Great Essays, this classic biography is now republished with a specially commissioned biography of Woolf.

Die KünstlerInnen Vera Lehndorff und Holger Trülzsch entwickelten in einer sich von den 1970er- bis in die späten 1980er-Jahre erstreckenden, intensiven Schaffensphase ein eindrücklich-innovatives OEuvre inszenatorischer Fotografie von Körpermalereien - einer Synthese aus Malerei, Fotografie und Performance. In Body Paintings 1970-1988 finden Lehndorff/Trülzsch einen neuen Blick auf die gemeinsamen Fotoserien, indem sie die Bilder der Werkzyklen, faksimiliertes Archivmaterial - darunter Essays von Susan Sontag und Gary Indiana - sowie kontextuelle Erläuterungen und Referenzbilder verweben. Die Publikation reflektiert so dialogisch Geschlechteridentitäten und den Umgang mit dem weiblichen Körper vor dem Hintergrund medial-popkultureller Entwicklungen sowie der Kunstproduktion der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts bis zur Gegenwart.

120 bpm ist die durchschnittliche Anzahl «beats per minute» eines Clubtracks. Wie es dem Medium entspricht, versammelt auch das Buch 120 bpm dichte, nach vorn treibende Bildabfolgen jener Jahre des Aufbruchs, als Techno in der Schweiz zu einer der letzten grossen Jugendbewegungen wurde, welche das Nachtleben, die Clubs sowie die stetige Innovation elektronischer Tanzmusik bis heute prägen.Der Schweizer Fotograf Philipp Mueller dokumentierte diese frühe Phase des Techno Anfang der 1990er in unmittelbar-rohen Aufnahmen von den ersten Zürcher Street Parades, illegalen Raves, Partys - backstage in Clubs und in der Intimität des Privaten - für verschiedene Publikationen. In 120 bpm verschränken sich Muellers Aufnahmen mit faksimilierten Rave-Magazin- und Fanzine-Seiten und Erzählungen damaliger Protagonist*innen.

A colorful, insider portrait of '70s surf culture, with a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author William FinneganIf you were there, even just for some of it--Hawaii, California, surfing, the '70s--the memories and stories will flow freely from these photographs. Jeff Divine was there for all of it, and these images have been culled from an enormous personal archive. Divine was shooting for Surfer, the monthly magazine that was the bible of the scene. His photos from this archive show the precommercialized era in surfing when the hippie influence still held sway. Surfers had their own slang-infused language and were deep into a world of Mother Ocean, wilderness and a culture that mainstream society spurned. Surfboards were handmade in family garages, often made for a specific kind of wave or speed, for paddling, ease of turning, and featured all kinds of psychedelic designs. Some were even hollowed out to smuggle hash from Morocco. The color and black-and-white photographs collected here, taken throughout California on the coastlines at Baja, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, La Jolla, Malibu, San Clemente and Oahu, give a vivid image of this close-knit culture and the incredible athletic feats of its heroes and heroines. Raised in La Jolla, California, Jeff Divine (born 1950) started photographing the surfing world in 1966. He held jobs as photo editor for 35 years with Surfer magazine and Surfer's Journal. His works have been displayed worldwide in museums and galleries, as well as in books, magazines and media. In 2019 he was inducted into the Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame for his contribution to surf culture in a career lasting 50 years.

((Please scroll down for english version))Tausende Kilometer mit dem Auto und der Kamera durch Los Angeles - Traum oder Albtraum? In seinem seit 2010 entstandenen Langzeitprojekt L.A. CROSSING zeigt uns Jens Liebchen die Hauptstadt der bedingungslosen Mobilität so, wie sie von den meisten ihrer Bewohner bevorzugt wahrgenommen wird: durch die Fenster ihrer Autos. Aus dem fahrenden Auto heraus blickt Liebchen auf eine Stadt die die Gegensätze von Utopie und Dystopie in sich vereint. Dabei klingt L.A. Crossing selbst wie der Titel eines Films und so wird die Strasse zur Bühne und die Fotografie zu einer Art Standbild. In das betörende kalifornisches Licht getaucht erscheint die Stadt dabei als fiktiv und real zugleich. Eine Ikone der Fotokunst, Stephen Shores Bild »La Brea/Beverly« dient als theoretischer Aufhänger Liebchens Arbeit. Ausgehend vom »La Brea Matrix Projekt«, in dessen Zentrum besagtes Foto stand, hat Liebchen den Blick umgekehrt und blickt nun von der Strasse zurück auf die Stadt. Weder hält er an, wie Lee Friedlander (in »America by Car«), noch ordnet er sich einer strengen Systematik unter, wie Ed Ruscha (in »Every Building on the Sunset Strip«). Liebchen fährt und fährt und fährt. Aus der privilegierten und klimatisierten Perspektive des Fahrersitzes offenbaren sich dabei Licht- und Schattenseiten der Traumfabrik. Großes Kino.Jens Liebchen (*1970) arbeitet seit seinem Studium der Ethnologie als freiberuflicher Fotograf. Seine Arbeiten und wurden weltweit ausgestellt und befinden sich unter anderem in der Sammlung der DZ BANK Kunstsammlung in Frankfurt a.M. und des Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Liebchen lebt und arbeitet in Berlin. Er wird von der Galerie Springer vertreten.Thousands of kilometers by car and camera through Los Angeles - dream or nightmare? In his long-term project L.A. CROSSING, which has been in the making since 2010, Jens Liebchen shows us the capital of unconditional automotive mobility like most of its inhabitants prefer to look at it: through the windows of their cars. Out of the moving car, Liebchen looks at a city that embodies the opposites of utopia and dystopia. L.A. Crossing itself sounds like the title of a movie, accordingly the street becomes a stage and the photography becomes a kind of still image. Bathed in the beguiling Californian light, the city appears fictitious and real at the same time. An icon of photographic art, Stephen Shore's image »La Brea/Beverly« serves as a theoretical starting point for Liebchen's work. Beginning with the »La Brea Matrix Project«, which was centered around said photo, Liebchen has reversed the common view and now looks back from the street to the city. Neither does he stop, like Lee Friedlander (in "America by Car"), nor does follow a strict gird like Ed Ruscha (in "Every Building on the Sunset Strip"). Liebchen drives and drives and drives. From the privileged and air-conditioned perspective of the driver's seat, the City of Angels lights and shadows are revealed.Jens Liebchen (*1970) has been working as a freelance photographer since his studies of ethnology. His works and have been exhibited worldwide and can be found, among others, in the collection of the DZ BANK Kunstsammlung in Frankfurt a.M. and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Liebchen lives and works in Berlin. He is represented by Springer Gallery.

Memoir by internationally acclaimed Chicago sculptor Margot McMahon.

During the post-war era in Communist East Germany in the seventies, Karen von Wagner is enjoying her life in East Berlin. She had grown up indebted and grateful to the GDR for giving her an excellent education in the arts in spite of what her father had done and was imprisoned for--guilty of war crimes as an SS Nazi. He had been arrested and taken to prison when she was barely five. At fifteen, she was told by an official he had died in Siberia. She had always been ashamed of him for his diabolical crimes and felt no remorse. In fact, she was glad he was dead.In her schooling, she achieved high marks in most of her classes, if not all. By twenty-one, she had become East Germany's famous actress and singer and, above all, a staunch communist.During a party in a ballroom she was hosting (her apartment in the same building), she rescues an unconscious American, Mike Whitman, from Russian robbers whom she believes had drugged him. The man is taken to her apartment by her uncle and a friend.Her grandfather, a doctor, saves Whitman's life. But soon, all three realize the robbers are KGB agents, and Whitman is a unique CIA spy. Karen demands that her uncle and grandfather, who live with her, turn him over to the authorities. But her two and only family members are against it.During Whitman's recovery, Karen discovers the true reason why her father was imprisoned. It was for being a pastor of an underground church in East Berlin. Her whole world turns upside down.

Driven by an eye for beauty and a passion for history, Britain's celebrated photographer Sir Don McCullin and writer Barnaby Rogerson set off across Roman Asia Minor. Their epic journey takes them from the plain of fabled Troy, via the splendors of Ephesus and the enchantment of Aphrodisias, to the mountain fastness of Hadrian's Sagalassos.

"Mary Crovatt Hambidge (1885-1973) was an aspiring actress and a professional whistler on Broadway when she met Canadian-born Jay Hambidge (1867-1924), an artist, illustrator, and scholar. Their relationship would prove to be both a romantic and an artistic partnership. Jay Hambidge formulated his own artistic concept, known as Dynamic Symmetry, which stipulated that the compositional rules found in nature's symmetry should be applied to the creation of art. Mary Hambidge pioneered new techniques of weaving and dyeing fabric that merged Greek methods with Appalachian weaving and spinning traditions. The Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences, formed during the mid-1930s, provides an artists' community situated on six hundred rural acres in the north Georgia mountains where hundreds of visual artists, writers, potters, composers, dancers, and other artists have pursued their crafts. Dynamic Design details Jay Hambidge and Mary Crovatt Hambidge's cross-cultural and cross-historical explorations and examines their lasting contributions to twentieth-century art and cultural history. Virginia Gardner Troy illustrates how Jay and Mary were important independently and collectively, providing a wider understanding of their lives within the larger context of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century art and design. They were from two different worlds, nearly a generation apart in age, and only together for ten years, but their lives intertwined at a pivotal moment in their development. They shared parallel goals to establish a place where they could integrate the arts and crafts around the principles of Dynamic Symmetry. Troy explores how this dynamic duo's ideas and artistic expressions have resonated with admirers throughout the decades and reflect the trends and complexities of American culture through various waves of cosmopolitanism, utopianism, nationalism, and isolationism. The Hambidges' prolific partnership and forward-thinking vision continue to aid and inspire generations of aspiring artists and artisans"--
