Thames & Hudson Ltd Bridget Riley The Complete Paintings
Book SynopsisBridget Riley is one of the most important British painters of our time. Since the early 1960s, when she first gained recognition with her powerful black and white paintings, the artist has continued to explore the principles of abstraction in startling and original ways. Through her systematic engagement with colour, tone, form and structure, Riley pushes the boundaries of perception, challenging us to look at the world anew. This landmark publication brings together for the first time all of Bridget Riley's known paintings, including well over 650 works ranging from the late 1940s to 2017. Each painting is illustrated with a full-page colour image, many of which have been sourced from the artist's extensive archive and rarely published. Drawing on archival research and expert knowledge, the publication includes an introductory essay, explanation of materials and methods, extended exhibition history, biographical information and explanatory notes. The publication benefits from the remarkable input of Bridget Riley herself, who has been present at every stage of the project and has provided first-hand information about her work and exhibition and sales history. Bridget Riley: The Complete Paintings is a seminal visual resource and provides the most comprehensive overview of the artist's paintings to date.

Book SynopsisThe first major monograph on the leading Magnum photographer, Elliott Erwitt.Trade Review'This tome shows that he hasn't lost any of the visual wit that makes one relish his pictures, while, at the same time, recognizing the melancholy that infuses any realization of the arbitrariness of existence.' Time Out'Rare among photographers, Erwitt can make you laugh out loud (just turn to pages 86-87), but his scope is Tolstoyan. This 550-page retrospective will absorb you for years.' The Independent'An essential career-spanning retrospective that reveals Erwitt's unassuming wit, brilliant framing and deep humanity.' New York Post'Haunting, absorbing, evocative and sometimes funny.' OK!'poignant and poetic' The Herald'saturated with an irrepressible sense of humour and love of humanity. What else would you expect from a man obsessed with dogs?' Colin Jacobson, Traveller'[Erwitt's] photos reveal a joy in the peculiar playgrounds of human activity … His eye, modest, charming, graceful and forever peeled for the dazzlingly unexpected, has led his oeuvre being labelled by one commentator as the 'indecisive moment'.' World of Interiors 'Erwitt remains a mischievous presence: ...it is good to be reminded of his range and his keen eye for framing the everyday sublime. Snaps, despite its self-effacing title, is a record of six decades worth of acute observation, from the playful to the deeply serious. ...Erwitt's work [...] which tends more to the quietly observational style of Magnum co-founder Henri Cartier-Bresson....a master of portraiture as well as observation... An ability to be in the right place at the right time is evident not just in his street photography but in his almost unbearably poignant portrait of a grief-stricken Jackie Kennedy ...Raw grief is also the subject of his starkly dramatic portrait of a woman bent double over her son's gravestone in May 1954, not long after his death in Vietnam. She is the mother of Robert Capa, Magnum's other co-founder and celebrated war photographer. It is an image that speaks volumes not just about death and loss, but about what it requires to take this kind of photograph. One of the most powerful images in the book, it almost single-handedly belies Erwitt's suggestion that he has not been as serious a photographer as his contemporaries. Only some of the time.'

Scarecrow Press Stefan Lorant
Book SynopsisHungarian-born Stefan Lorant''s work as a visual and literary editor allowed him to pioneer and develop the genré of picture-based journalism at a period that saw the emergence of modern mass communications. Lorant became a guiding force on an international scale, disseminating his ideas and political knowledge throughout Europe in the late-twenties and thirties by working in Hungary, Germany, and England. His innovative layouts, his exclusive interviews and his thirst for knowledge became a familiar part of millions of everyday lives, largely through the pages of his own creations and in particular the legendary Picture Post. Eventually his sphere of influence spread to America where he introduced the concept of the pictorial biography. His vision of photography as a documentary medium inspired Life and Look magazines and paved the way for the eventual emergence of the television documentary. For this he has become recognized as the godfather of photojournalism. Lorant''s work enlighTrade ReviewStefan Lorant (1901-1997) started out as a filmmaker but later became a magazine editor in England and the US, giving Alfred Eisenstadt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, and Andre Kertesz some of their earliest assignments in that genre. (He also was jailed by Hitler in the 1930s and wrote a memoir of the experience.) Hallett, a photographic historian who is himself a photographer, traces the pioneer's life and works, with a focus on the emergence of modern mass communication in the 20th century. * Reference and Research Book News *...a revealing biographical account of the life of the professional loner who, almost single-handedly, changed the face of European magazine publishing, long before Henry Luce dreamed up the highly successful Life picture magazine concept in the US....This neatly presented book expands on the life and foibles of a man to whom publishers, editors, photographers and the public at large owe much, because he stepped on to the photographic stage at the very time when photographers had been liberated by the advent of the 35 mm camera....Michael Hallett's biography of the godfather of photojournalism is both detailed and honest. The text is presented in short, crisp, readable chunks, which unfold Lorant's tumultuous life story in a very personal way. * Foto8 *Hallett gets across how totally fascinating Lorant was—and how impossible he could be. And he does it with a fast-moving prose in a text as full of famous names as Lorant himself could wish for. * The Independent Review: A Journal of Political Economy *The author deserves praise for garnering so much from such a tricky subjecttttt * History Of Photography, Vol. 31, No. 1 (Spring 2007) *Recommended. * CHOICE *The author deserves praise for garnering so much from such a tricky subject * History Of Photography, Vol. 31, No. 1 (Spring 2007) *Table of ContentsPart 1 Prologue Part 2 Part One: Hungary and Czechoslovakia Chapter 3 1.

Intimately connected with the people around him and keyed-in to the edgier fringes of the fashion, music, and art worlds, Hunter photographed influencers before they were influencers, in the wild and at play from the streets of LA to NYC and beyond.
