Nomata Minoru / Continuum

Over the past four decades, Minoru Nomata has developed a lexicon of imaginary architectonic and topographical forms to create paintings that transcend specifics of time and place. This book presents a grand overview of his visionary works, which combine the familiar with the mysterious and the heroic with the haunting. It is especially the forms of construction – structural beams, frameworks, tarpaulins, and netting – that are the hallmarks of these fantastical architectures. Notions of the picturesque and sublime combine in Nomata’s later paintings, where the structures seem increasingly fragile, with reduced material volume, greater height, or wrapped in tendril-like scaffolding.

Steps off the Beaten Path Sentieri smarriti e ritrovati
Nineteenth-Century Photographs of Rome and its Environs
Roma e dintorni nelle fotografie del secondo Ottocento
by W.Bruce Lundberg (Author, Editor), John Pinto (Editor), Vincenzo Carlo (Artist), Domenico Baldassarre Simelli (Artist)
Charta, Milano, American Cademy in Rome, 2008, 216 pages, 24,13x27,94cm, English/Italian, ISBN 978-8881586677

By 1860, photography in Rome was undergoing dramatic change. The level of detail made possible by new glass wet plate and albumen techniques encouraged photographers to take a documentary approach, focusing on architectural fragments, transitional spaces like stairways, even citizens going blurrily about their daily business--in short, on everything but the city's oft-photographed basilicas and ruins. The candid, frequently off-balance images collected in this unique volume, by photographers such as Vincento Carlo, Domenico Baldessare Simelli, Eugène Gustave Chauffourier, A. de Bonis and Edmond Lebel, anticipate both street photography and postmodern photographic abstraction. These photographers have only recently begun to emerge from obscurity and remain poorly documented. Indeed, many of their images have never been exhibited, and in some cases attribution remains conjectural. By bringing a significant body of work together, this collection sheds new light on their individual artistic personalities and illuminates the contributions of the group to the history of photography.

Woven Histories
Textiles and Modern Abstraction
Production by Brad Ireland and Christina Wiginton, Editing by Magda Nakassis,

Exhibition dates : Los Angeles County Museum Art 2023, Washington Nat.Gall.Art 2024, Ottawa Nat.Gall.Canada 2024,New York MoMA 2025
Richly illustrated volume exploring the inseparable histories of modernist abstraction and twentieth-century textiles. Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts. Woven Histories begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse. Including essays by distinguished art historians as well as reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious project traces the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction as vehicles through which artists probe urgent issues of our time.

Set and costume designs for ballet and theater
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection
Alexander Schouvaloff, introduction Serge Lifar

During his lifetime the late Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza acquired a collection of over fifty drawings - largely of set and costume designs - reflecting the theatre of the first half of the twentieth century, and particularly the ballet, during what was surely its most exciting and innovative period. Twenty-two of these drawings are by Leon Bakst, perhaps the most famous of all theatrical designers, whose revolutionary designs for Diaghilev's Ballet Russes played such a major part in the impact that company made during the years 1909-1929.

«Il barone Thyssen-Bornemisza ha raccolto una collezione di disegni - in gran parte bozzetti di scena e costumi - che illustrano il teatro della prima metà del XX secolo e soprattutto il balletto, nel suo periodo più interessante e innovativo. Alexander Schouvaloff ha compilato un poderoso catalogo per la descrizione di queste opere. Nella sua introduzione descrive la particolare natura della bozzettistica teatrale, riassume la situazione del teatro in Europa e in Russia alla fine del XIX secolo per inquadrare i disegni in un più preciso contesto storico ed esamina brevemente la figura di ciascun artista».
In questo catalogo vengono descritte 56 opere, in particolare la bozzettistica teatrale, riassumendo la condizine del teatro in Europa e Russia alla fine del XIX secolo. Nel catalogo vero e proprio vengono esaminati nei dettagli i costumi e i bozzetti per i quali sono stati realizzati.

Philippe Halsman's Jump Book
Compléments de documents Yvonne Halsman, Postface Owen Edwards
Éditions de La Martinière, Paris 2015, 96 pages, 194 ill, ISBN 989-2-7324-7506-6
euro 50,00

C’est en photographiant la famille Ford que Philippe Halsman a eu cette idée un peu folle : faire sauter Mme Ford devant l’objectif. Ainsi naît le concept de « jumpology ». Cet album présente des portraits hauts en couleurs (bien qu’en N&B), originaux, dynamiques, drôles et vrais. De Riga en Lettonie à New York, en passant par Paris, Philippe Halsman est devenu le plus grand portraitiste de son époque : Chagall, Le Corbusier, Gide, Malraux et d’autres artistes et intellectuels tombent tous sous la coupe de son appareil. Dès 1940, Halsman fuit l’Occupation et émigre aux États-Unis où il se reforgera une notoriété aux côtés de Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Winston Churchill, Audrey Hepburn, Salvador Dalí ou encore Alfred Hitchcock. La photographie d’Halsman se caractérise par son approche directe et psychologique, ainsi que par une recherche formelle dans le détail, affectionnant les expérimentations techniques et esthétiques. Il réalise 101 couvertures du magazine Life et publie, en 1959, son manifeste de la « jumpology » : Jump Book.
Le quasi 200 fotografie realizzate da Halsman a metà degli anni 50 che ritraggono stelle del cinema, regnanti, politici, attori, artisti e studiosi a mezz’aria sono ormai entrate a far parte nell’immaginario collettivo della cifra stilistica di Halsman. In quel periodo l’artista concludeva le sessioni fotografiche chiedendo ai suoi soggetti di saltare e così iniziò a prendere forma questa straordinaria ed energetica raccolta che tra gli altri annovera Marilyn Monroe, Edward Steichen, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Oppenheimer, John Steinbeck, Weegee, Aldous Huxley, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalì, Brigitte Bardot, Groucho Marx, Richard Nixon e il Duca e la Duchessa di Windsor. "Quando si chiede una persona di saltare", ha scritto Halsman, "la sua attenzione è principalmente rivolta verso l'atto di saltare, e la maschera cade, facendo apparire così la persona reale."

Alexander McQueen Working Process
Photographs by Nick Waplington
Damiani, Bologna 2013, 304 pagine, 200 ill., 24,8x29,5, ISBN 978-88-6208 295-2
euro 50,00

Nel 2008 Alexander McQueen incaricò il fotografo Nick Waplington di documentare la sua ultima collezione Autunno 2009 dall’inizio fino all’ingresso in passerella. La collezione da lui denominata The Horn of Plenty [Cornucopia] vede McQueen rivisitare l’archivio costruito in quindici anni di lavoro e riutilizzarlo in una nuova collezione. Si trattava in effetti di una sua personale ricognizione, in cui il set era costituito di specchi rotti e di un mucchio gigantesco di resti degli allestimenti di show precedenti. Secondo i critici questa modalità rifletteva il sentire di McQueen nei confronti del fashion system e del suo modo di obbligare i designer a essere geni creativi, contemporaneamente relegando ogni collezione nel cestino della spazzatura della storia non appena effettuata la vendita. A Waplington fu garantita una facilità di accesso senza precedenti a McQueen e al suo staff, compresa Sarah Burton, attuale direttore creativo del marchio. Ogni fase del processo creativo è documentata, ma la cosa più interessante è che il layout del libro è stato disegnato da McQueen in persona, che si servì di immagini fissate su bacheche. Il libro era pronto per la pubblicazione quando McQueen morì e il libro rimase in sospeso fino a ora. Il libro viene pubblicato esattamente come lo aveva impaginato McQueen, come tributo alla sua personalissima collezione. Nick Waplington è un artista che lavora con la fotografia, la pittura e la scultura. I suoi lavori sono conservati in molte importanti collezioni nel mondo, tra cui al MoMA, a New York, e alla Tate Gallery, a Londra.

Bhutan
A Kingdom of the Eastern Himalayas
Guy van Strydonck, Françoise Pommaret- Imaeda, Yoshiro Imaeda
Serindia Publ., London 1984, 175 pages, hardcover, ISBN 0906026 13X
euro 22,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
The little-known kingdom of Bhutan, around the size of Switzerland, is now one of the last strongholds of Tantric Buddhism in the East. Although isolated for centuries by its geography, bound as it is on the south by dense tropical jungles and to the north by the Himalayas, in the last 15 years with the advent of motor roads and the national will to develop, it has slowly opened its doors to a few privileged vistoirs and tourists. Amongst these, Guy van Strydonck has had the good fortune as royal guest to travel the length and breadth of the kingdom, recording the land and its people. For centuries, monks and refugees from Tibet have settled in Bhutan's hospitable and fertile valleys and ensured close cultural links between the countries. Because of different socio-economic conditions, Bhutan soon developed a highly distinctive culture of its own, and it is the purpose of this book to introduce the reader not only to its magnificent and varied landscapes, but also to the genius of Bhutan's rich traditions of art and architecture. Other chapters in the book focus on monastic and village life, their festivals and dances. A whole chapter is devoted to the hitherto unknown valley of Sakteng in the extreme east, homeland to the yak-herding "brokpas". The book concludes with a portrait of the Bhutanese themselves, a hardy mountain people renowned both for thie irrepresible good humour and for their profound spirit of Buddhist tolerance.

Paris Centre Pompidou 25 septembre 2003 - 5 janvier 2004
Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) fut écrivain, poète, cinéaste, dessinateur, peintre, scénographe, chorégraphe, photographe, dramaturge et animateur de la scène musicale française. Pendant près de cinquante ans, cet agitateur d'idées et artiste de génie a déployé une activité rodigieuse, diverse et féconde. Le « monde » de Cocteau est particulièrement peuplé : Pablo Picasso, Jean Marais, Coco Chanel, François Truffaut, Man Ray, Amedeo Modigliani, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. L'artiste a traversé le vingtième siècle de Proustà Andy Warhol. L'exposition présentée au Musée, qui réunit quelque 700 œuvres, reflétera ce foisonnement où les disciplines et les personnalités se croisent et s'influencent.
The most comprehensive retrospective exhibition to date in France of the eclectic work of Jean Cocteau (1889-1963), poet, writer, critic, but also film director, drawing artist and player on the French musical scene, from the second decade of the 20th century to the 60s. He promoted jazz, cinema and plastic abstraction, he was author of Le Grand Ecart and Le Rappel à l'ordre, had Antigone dressed by Chanel, sponsored the first Cannes Festival and discovered and defended the talent of François Truffaut. The prolificacy of his activities is reflected in the works on show: 335 drawings, 300 photographs, 22 paintings by major artists who celebrated him, 50 or so manuscripts, objects and sculptures.

The Design Heritage of Noren
Signs and Symbols in Japan
Tadashi Masuda
Graphic-sha, Tokyo 1988, 198 pages, 23x30,5cm, ISBN 4-7661-04560
euro 80,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
Noren, traditional Japanese fabric dividers, offer a striking yet often overlooked element of Japanese culture. These are rectangular cloths split down the middle, hanging down from a horizontal rod positioned at the entrance of shops, restaurants, and homes. Serving a practical purpose, noren acts as a curtain to shield interiors from the elements, provide privacy, and denote the business's open or closed status. However, the cultural significance of noren extends beyond these utilitarian functions. Traditionally, noren are adorned with the name, logo, or symbol of the establishment, intricately designed and often hand-dyed. The images or kanji characters used aren't chosen lightly; they embody the spirit of the business or home, giving a glimpse into what lies behind the noren. These textile dividers serve as silent communicators, establishing a non-verbal dialogue with passersby and subtly drawing them into the world behind the curtain.

History of Russian Costume
from the Eleventh to the Twentieth Century
catalogue compiled by T.S.Alyoshina, I.L.Vishnevakaya, L.V.Efimova, T.T.Korshunova, V.A.Malm,E.Yu.Moiseenko, M.M.Postnokova-Loseva,E.P.Chernukha

The Glory of Russian Costume exhibition which this publication accompanies was created on the basis of materials drawn from the collections of leading Russian museums: the Pavlovsk Museum; the Arsenal Museum, Leningrad; the State Museums of the Kremlin, Moscow; the State Historical Museum, Moscow; and the State Hermitage Museum, Leningrad. At the time, the exhibition of Russian costume was shown abroad for the first time, but in Russia these items, along with an enormous number of others, are shown in their respective museums for visitors to enjoy. Costume, as part of the material culture of society, reflects the history of the people. In this way, this exhibition as presented to an American audience went far beyond the framework of a narrowly professional one, and is definitely of great interest to the widest circles of the population.
The exhibition acquaints the visitor with the traditional shapes of Russian clothing, as well as with the character of the later all-European type of costume in Russia. The collection includes more than 500 authentic examples of clothing dating from the eleventh to the beginning of the twentieth century. The art of Russian costume is arranged chronologically into three sections: Russian Costume from the Eleventh to the Seventeenth Century, Folk Costume from the Eighteenth to Early Twentieth Century, and Urban Costume from the Eighteenth to the Early Twentieth Century
