Abstract

Portraitiste malien du XXe siecle, Seydou Keïta est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands photographes contemporains. En 1935, de retour d'un séjour au Sénégal, son oncle qui offre son premier appareil photo, un Kodak Brownie: Keïta, alors âgé de quatorze ans, commence à photographier ses proches avant d'acquérir un appareil à chambre 13 x 18.Il ouvre son studio en 1948 et .e spécialise dans l'art du portrait en noir et blanc. Rapidement, sa maîtrise de la technique et son sens esthétique l'imposent comme portraitiste, et le Tout Bamako se presse chez lui: on vient se faire photographier seul, en couple, en famille ou en groupe. Installant ses modèles devant des tissus, l'artiste travaille la mise en scène de ses prises de vue: ajustant les poses, prêtant pour l'occasion vêtements, bijoux ou accessoires, il cherche à donner la plus belle mage de ses clients. Jusqu'à l'indépendance du Mali, en 1960, Seydou Keïta a réalisé plusieurs milliers de portraits de ses concitoyens: aussi ses photos constituent-elles en cela un témoignage unique sur la société malienne des années 1950. Cette grande exposition monographique permet de saisir, à travers plus de deux cents photos, l'oeuvre d'un des grands talents de la photographie africaine.

Abstract

The Conscience of Cinema is not only a history of a rich and varied personal oeuvre by a prolific documentary maker who worked on every continent and through seven decades, from the 1920s to the 1980s. It is also the history of the aspiration to use documentary film to change the world by a committed leftist, as well as a microcosmic history of documentary form, technology and culture, and its place within world cinema as a whole throughout the twentieth century. Ivens worked in almost every genre of documentary, including the essay, compilation, hybrid dramatization, direct cinema, social observation, the solidarity film, socialist realism, agitprop activism. In this book, detailed filmic analysis is enriched by a profound historical understanding of the contexts in which Ivens carried out his vision, from his native Netherlands to the Soviet bloc, USA, France, Latin America, Vietnam and finally China. Everywhere, Joris Ivens left an indelible artistic and political mark, critically relevant to a twenty-first century where documentary has reclaimed its cultural and political centrality.

Abstract

Eva Hesse (1936-1970) is known for her sculptures that made innovative use of industrial and everyday materials. Her diaries and journals, which she kept for the entirety of her life, convey her anxieties, her feelings about family and friends, her quest to be an artist, and the complexities of living in the world. Hesse's biography is well known: her family fled Nazi Germany, her mother committed suicide when Hesse was ten years old, her marriage ended in divorce, and she died at the age of thirty-four from a brain tumor. The diaries featured in this publication begin in 1955 and describe Hesse's time at Yale University, followed by a sojourn in Germany with her husband, Tom Doyle, and her return to New York and a circle of friends that included Sol LeWitt, Mel Bochner, Lucy Lippard, Robert Mangold and Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Robert Ryman, Mike Todd, and Paul Thek. Poignant, personal, and full of emotion, these diaries convey Hesse's struggle with the quotidian while striving to become an artist.

Abstract

"Modernism Rediscovered" brought to light for the first time some 300 forgotten architectural masterpieces, drawn from photographer Julius Shulman's personal archives. Paying tribute to houses and buildings that had slipped from public view, Shulman's stunning photographs uncovered a rarely seen side of California Modernism. This extensive, three-volume follow-up to that remarkable volume brings hundreds more architectural gems into the spotlight. The photographs, most of which are published here for the first time in a book, depict buildings by Albert Frey, Louis Kahn, John Lautner, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Richard Neutra, and more, as well as the work of many lesser known architects. Not just restricted to the West Coast this time, the images were taken all across the United States as well as in Mexico, Israel, and Hong Kong. Widely considered the greatest architectural photographer of our time, Julius Shulman has once again opened his archives so that we may rediscover the world's hidden Modernist treasures.
