Featuring exquisite reproductions of the prints together with essays on Close's career and in-depth interviews with the artist and his master printmakers, Chuck Close Prints highlights the intensely collaborative nature of Close's projects. Close may labor on a single print for as long as two yearss, working out aesthetic problems by tretrieving a centuries-old European method or creating an entirely new technique (such as applying sunscreen to block light). According to Close, "Prints have moved me in my unique work more than anything else has." For three decades, Chuck Close has challenged the accepted boundaries of the printmaking tradition. This book, published to accompany a retrospective of his prints organized by Blaffer Galllery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston, and traveling to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and several additional museums around the country, is the first comprehensive survey of Close's revolutionary prints. From the artist's ambitious first mezzotint to his recent pulp-paper multiples, this book chronicles the genius of Chuck Close in the medium in which he has done his most exciting work. Taken together, these prints constitute a remarkable self-portrait of the creative drive, vision, and intellect of one of America's most important living artists.

British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) has been described as one of the Finest portraitists of the nineteenth century-in any medium. Raised in a well-connected and creative family, Cameron led an unconventional life for a woman of the Victorian age. After devoting herself to an artistic and literary salon at her home on the Isle of Wight and raising eleven children, Cameron took up photography in her late forties. Over the next fourteen years, she produced more than a thousand strikingly original and often controversial images. Her searching portraits of her friends and acquaintances, including Alfred Tennyson and Charles Darwin, have been called the world's first close-ups. This biography casts new light on the artist's links with the leading cultural figures of her time and on the techniques she used to achieve her distinctive style.

http://www.lettrevolee.com/haus.html Pour son exposition personnelle au Plateau à Paris (« Haus/raus-haus », 6 mars-18 mai 2003), Natacha Nisic transforme l'espace d'exposition en un lieu à la fois étranger et familier, une « maison » (haus en allemand), un lieu à soi qui sera un lieu d'accueil et de partage. Elle envisage sa présence au Plateau comme « une tentative de définir un temps, un contexte, et d'évoquer l'impossibilité de donner une vision lisse du monde ». Le livre qui paraît à cette occasion, Haus, n'est pas un catalogue d'exposition classique mais propose un parcours parallèle dans l'univers de l'artiste. Il se présente comme une collaboration entre l'artiste et l'écrivain Christophe Marchand-Kiss.

Today we consider privacy a right to be protected. But in eighteenth-century England, privacy was seen as a problem, even a threat. Women reading alone and people hiding their true thoughts from one another in conversation generated fears of uncontrollable fantasies and profound anxieties about insincerity. In Privacy, Patricia Meyer Spacks explores eighteenth-century concerns about privacy and the strategies people developed to avoid public scrutiny and social pressure. She examines, for instance, the way people hid behind common rules of etiquette to mask their innermost feelings and how, in fact, people were taught to employ such devices. She considers the erotic overtones that privacy aroused in its suppression of deeper desires. And perhaps most important, she explores the idea of privacy as a societal threat-one that bred pretense and hypocrisy in its practitioners. Through inspired readings of novels by Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, and Sterne, along with a penetrating glimpse into diaries, autobiographies, poems, and works of pornography written during the period, Spacks ultimately shows how writers charted the imaginative possibilities of privacy and its social repercussions. Finely nuanced and elegantly conceived, Spacks's new work will fascinate anyone who has relished concealment or mourned its recent demise.
