ADULTS ONLY! Days of the Cougar The Outrageous Visual Diary of sexual Adventurer Liz Earls Dian Hanson (Ed.) Hardcover, format: 22.3 x 16.5 cm (8.8 x 6.5 in.), 320 pp. English/German/French edition 9783836519793 $ 39.99 / CAD 49.99

I know this party is not going to last forever, so Im going to dance every dance, drink every drink, and have every young manand the occasional womanwho smiles back at me.
Liz Earls

Opposite: Savoring the sight of 20-year-old room service waiter Vinny, my youngest conquest, in a Manhattan hotel room.

My life had become a playground, and it was exactly what I wanted, writes photographer Liz Earls in the introduction to this groundbreaking book detailing her transformation from middleaged, overweight Human Resources director to sexual adventurer, self-portraitist, and unabashed cougar. A cougar, as defined by the Urban Dictionary, is a 35+ year old female who is on the hunt for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. For Earls that anything must include collaborating in her quest to capture authentic human passion. Since losing 100

pounds at age 40, quitting her straight job, and embarking on a career as an erotic photographer, Earls has documented her sexual experiences with dozens of men. Her work has been described as a midlife version of Natacha Merritts Digital Diaries, as intensely personal, and as sexually unbounded. She speculates that a woman who has as much sex as she does four to six times a day with multiple partners creates an aura that draws new men to her. It seems to be true, as Days of the Cougar graphically illustrates in over 250 photographs of Earls seducing men from 19 to 32 years of age. When
6

she decided to devote the second half of her life to pleasure, Earls realized that, If I just shot on the sidelines as an observer it would be boring. I had to feel it too, to put everything Id recently learned about my sexuality into it. She never deviates from this path, exploring every aspect of her lust for young men in graphic color and black and white photos, accompanied by diary entries, e-mails, and text messages shared with her eager prey. Sexy, shocking, and surprisingly loving, Days of the Cougar reworks our notions of age and attraction, and will inspire anyone feeling trapped by societys expectations.

In 1958, journalist Neil Leifer took the picture that remains one of his most famous to this day. The day he got the shotAlan Ameches gamewinning Sudden Death touchdownwas Leifers 16th birthday. This game, called The Greatest Ever Played, signaled footballs emergence as Americas new national pastime; formerly half-empty stadiums welcomed sold-out crowds seemingly overnight, while football sur-

passed baseball in national television ratings. Starting then, on any given Sunday Leifer was most likely shooting a football game somewhere in America. While best known for his iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali towering over a fallen Sonny Liston, it is his football pictures Leifer considers his best. This collection represents the best of his best, culled from over 10,000 rolls of film on

With an introduction assembled from the best football columns of the era by famed sports columnist Jim Murray, and incisive captions detailing the legendary players, coaches, and games, this volume carries the guts and glory of the game into the end zone.

Nearly 800 stunning examples of menu design Covers more than a century of exquisite vintage design

Until restaurants became commonplace in the late 1800s, printed menus for meals were rare commodities reserved for special occasions. As restaurants proliferated, the menu became more than just a culinary listing. The design of the menu became an integral part of eating out and as such menus became a marketing tool and a favored keepsake. Menu Design is an omnibus showcasing the best

examples of this graphic art. With nearly 800 examples, illustrated in vibrant color, this deluxe volume not only showcases this extraordinary collection of paper ephemera but serves as a history of restaurants and dining out in America. In addition to the menu covers, many menu interiors are featured providing an epicurean tour and insight into more than a hundred years of eating out. An introduction on the his 10

tory of menu design by graphic design writer Steven Heller and extended captions by culinary historian John Mariani accompany the menus throughout the book.

Polaroids occupy a special place in the hearts of many photo enthusiasts who remember a time when instant photography meant one-of-akind prints that developed within minutes of clicking the shutter. What was once a crucial tool for photographers to test their shots before shooting on film has now become obsolete in the face of digital photography. Luckily for us, legendary photographer Helmut Newton saved his

test Polaroids, allowing a privileged and rare chance to see the tests from a selection of his greatest shoots over a period of decades, including many from the TASCHEN titles SUMO, A Gun for Hire, and Work. Put together by his widow, June Newton, this collection captures the magic of Helmut Newton photo shoots as only Polaroids can.

Since 2000, the Serpentine Gallery in Londons Kensington Gardens has called on some of the worlds top architects to design summer pavilionstemporary structures that are erected next to the Gallery itself for a three-month period. The Serpentine, which was built in 1934 as a tea pavilion, opened in 1970 as a showplace for exhibitions of modern and contemporary artists ranging from Matthew Barney to Dan Flavin, Ellsworth Kelley, Louise Bourgeois or Rachel Whiteread. The pavilions in the program that was conceived in 2000 by the Serpentine Director Julia

Peyton-Jones, are the work of international architects or design teams who at the time of the Serpentines invitation have not completed a building in England. A maximum of six months from invitation to completion is allotted. The only architecture program of its type in the world, the Serpentine Gallery Pavilions attract up to 250,000 visitors each summer. The Serpentine Pavilion is regularly ranked in the top 5 most attended architecture and design exhibitions worldwide in The Art Newspapers annual survey of museum and gallery visitor figures. The architect Richard Rogers has stated,

The pavilions, erected for relatively little money, are unbelievably good. I couldnt single one out that I have liked more than the others they have all been masterpieces. This book is the first to bring together all of the Serpentine Pavilions. Interviews with Serpentine Director Julia Peyton-Jones and Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist complete the description of the pavilions, illustrated by the original drawings by each architect and photos of the completed works.

Opposite: Teresa

Our first Ed Fox title, Glamour From the Ground Up, introduced the heir to the peculiar photographic niche long ruled by the great Elmer Batters. California native Fox had not even heard of Batters when he first started photographing women with an emphasis on their feet. In fact, he thought he was the only young man who checked out a womans feet before her face, and most of the time couldnt meet his models eyes for fear theyd discern his secret. Then he became the official foot photographer for Leg

Show magazine, just months before Batters death, and learned of the big shoes he had to fill. At the same time he realized there were thousands of men just like himselfexcept without the talent to capture their passion on film, or as today, in pixels. Since then, Ed Fox has become internationally known for a sensual photographic style that captures every curve of a womans body, right down to the tips of her toes. In Ed Fox II he brings us voluptuous new models, arresting locations

many blending the desert landscapes of Southern California with Foxs passion for automobilesand fantasies mild to extra spicy, all shot in warm, caressing natural light. And, like Glamour From the Ground Up, Ed Fox II comes with a 60-minute original DVD, bringing the still photos to vibrant life.

First, The Big Book of Breasts, then The Big Penis Book, The Big Book of Legs, and the weighty Big Butt Book. What could follow but an in-depth exploration of the female pudendum, that coveted orifice man spends nine months trying to escape, and a lifetime attempting to reenter? The Big Book of Pussy, not to be confused with a book of big pussy, closes out this popular series with an offering sure to be as controversial as it is popular. As in previous volumes, editor Dian Hanson delves into the historical significance of this humble os, to show how the yoni has been coveted, feared, reviled,

and worshipped by civilizations worldwide, from New Guinea to old Ireland. The text is supported by playful photographs of women exposing their vulvas, from 1900 to the present day. Because depiction of this body part has long been wrapped in unwarranted shame, The Big Book of Pussy reframes the subject, featuring models who expose their most private part enthusiastically, happily, with smiles spread wide as well, you get the picture. And with 400+ photos the point is made emphatically, in images both naturally furry and stylishly groomed.

John Gould (18041881) was without question the most prolific ornithological artist of the 19th century, and the only one to rival John James Audubon in ambition and quality. Gould shared the romantic enthusiasm of his time for bird specimens as well as the popular impulse to catalogue. He combined his passion for natural history with outstanding scientific, artistic and entrepreneurial talents. Drawing on these abilities, he embarked on a series of projects that would eventually make him the leading publisher of ornithological illustrations in Victorian

Britain. Goulds unparalleled career spanned five decades, during which he produced a series of books depicting birds from all over the world. The dazzling illustrations from Goulds Monograph of the Ramphastidae, or Family of Toucans, are generally thought to represent his most dramatic, magnificent images. The amazing range of vivid colorsshiny black, vibrant red, yellow, and orangecreates an unprecedented sense of animation. Shown against simple backgrounds, the birds seem to emerge, large and engaging, from the page; Goulds

toucans appear as living creatures, not twodimensional representations. The inspiration for Toucans came while Gould was working on his Birds of Europe, when he became fascinated by the toucan collection of a fellow ornithologist. He made several trips to central European museums to gather material for Toucans, and after publication of the first edition, redrew some of the plates and added 20 new birds to this revised and expanded second edition. All are included here.

Having wandered the ruins of Hiroshima, Tokyo and other Japanese cities after WW II, The Metabolistsfour architects, a critic, an industrial designer and a graphic designershowed, with the launch of their manifesto Metabolism 1960, how they would employ biological systems (aided by Japans massive advances in technology) as inspiration for buildings and cities that could change and adapt to the vicissitudes of modern life. Units could be added or removed from buildings like Kisho Kurokawas Capsule Tower in Tokyo as required; buildings themselves could be added or removed from cities at will in the cell-like master-plans of Fumihiko Maki.

Project Japan features a series of vivid, empathetic conversations, replete with surprising connections and occasional clashes between Koolhaas and Obrist and their subjects. The story that unfolds is illuminated, contradicted and validated by commentaries from a broad range of their forebearers, associates, critics, and progeny, including Toyo Ito and Charles Jencks. Interspersed with the interviews and commentaries are hundreds of never-before-seen images: master-plans from Manchuria to Tokyo, intimate snapshots of the Metabolists at work and play, architectural models, magazine excerpts and astonishing sci-fi urban visions. Presented in a clear chronology from the tabula

rasa of a colonized Manchuria in the 1930s; a devastated Japan after the war; to the establishment of Metabolism at the 1960 World Design Conference; to the rise of Kisho Kurokawa as the first celebrity architect; to the apotheosis of the movement at Expo 70 in Osaka. Koolhaas and Obrist unearth a history that casts new light on the key issues that both enervate and motivate architecture today: celebrity and seriousness, sustainability and monumentality, globalization, government participation (and abdication), and the necessity for architecture to reach beyond its traditional boundaries in order to embrace the future.

Opposite: Marilyn Monroe, 1962

This book is really two books. It is a biography, and it is also a pictorial retrospective of an actress whose greatest love affair was conceivably with the camera. Norman Mailer wrote these words in his 1973 biography, Marilyn. Now TASCHEN has paired Mailers original text with Bert Sterns photographs from the legendary Last Sittingwidely considered the most intimate photographs of Monroe ever takento create a fitting tribute to the woman who, at the time of her death in 1962, was the worlds most famous, a symbol of glamour and eroticism for

an entire generation. But though she was feted and adored by her public, her private life was that of a little girl lost, desperate to find love and security. Mailers Marilyn is beautiful, tragic, and complex. As Mailer reflects upon her life from her bleak childhood through to the mysterious circumstances of her deathshe emerges as a symbol of the bizarre decade during which she reigned as Hollywood's greatest female star. This book, conceived by Lawrence Schiller, Mailers collaborator on five works, combines the authors masterful text with Sterns penetrating images of the 36-year-old Marilyn.
38

Photographed for Vogue magazine over three days at the Bel-Air Hotel, Marilyn had never allowed such unfettered access, nor had she looked so breathtakingly beautiful. Three weeks later, mysteriously, she was dead. In this bold synthesis of literary classic and legendary portrait sitting, Mailer and Stern lift the veils of confusion surrounding Monroethe woman, the star, the sex symboland offer profound insight into an iconic figure whose true personality remains an enigma even today.

He creates identities, hes the brand name of hip. From Ray Gun to i-D, his images feel iconic before theyre out of the fluid. Ill be your mirror, he whispers, and the Gen X-kids find themselves reflected in his always open pictures.

From the portraits that made him famous, through the still lifes and landscapes (undermining the genres with every shot), Tillmans work is high color, dirty realist heaven. Finding the still point in the information overload, the sexuality in the machine, and the image in the image saturation, Tillmans gives us the brief epiphanies we might just remember as our own.

Opposite: Penlope Cruz in Volver (2006)

Un film de Almodvar: whether appearing in his stylish opening credits or on the suggestive poster that invariably accompanies each of his films, this announcement triggers a range of expectations. Sexy and subversive, colorful and controversial, passionate and provocative, Pedro Almodvars world is unlike any other directors. Thanks to his remarkably cohesive and consistent uvre, the Manchegan maverick has become a reliable brand, his name a byword for the visual opulence, experimentation and eroticism of post-Franco Spanish cinema. Almodvar found fame with self-penned, gender-bending plots depicting the often comic misfortunes of junkies, nuns, housewives, whores, transvestites and transsexuals. Praised by critics, championed by fellow film-makers,

adored by actors and adorned with international awards, he is the most successful Spanish filmmaker since Luis Buuel, with films such as Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother, Talk to Her, and Volver. A self-taught auteur, Almodvar draws on influences as diverse as Douglas Sirk, Frank Tashlin, Andy Warhol and John Waters. His feature films borrow liberally from, and frequently invert, traditional genres of classic American cinema including film noir, melodrama and screwball comedy. Yet they remain unmistakably Iberian, rooted predominantly in the directors beloved Madrid, exploring Spanish myths and modernity to the rhythms of bolero-laden soundtracks. Most recently, the enfant terrible of the 1980s arthouse scene has matured into the Academy
48

Award-winning director of All About My Mother, a film universally acknowledged for its emotional resonance, sophistication and craftsmanship. Almodvars distinctive, once marginalized world has finally entered the mainstream. For this unprecedented monograph, Pedro Almodvar has given TASCHEN complete access to his archives, including never-beforepublished images, such as personal photos he took during filming. In addition to writing captions for the photos, Almodvar invited prominent Spanish authors to write introductions to each of his films, and selected many of his own texts to accompany this visual odyssey through his complete works.

Own a facsimile of an 18th-century Esther scroll, an important symbol of the celebration and prosperity of Jewish culture! The use of scrolls dates back to ancient history. Bearing written texts, rolls of papyrus or parchment dealing with matters from all spheres of lifeprivate, religious, administrative, legal, and politicalwere already in use as long ago as Ancient Rome. One of the most well-known scrolls in history is the Esther scroll, or Hebrew megillah, which is devoted solely to the story of Queen Esther and is read on the feast of Purim. An uninhibitedly joyful festival, Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jews in the Persian empire under the rule of King Xerxes (485465 BCE). The word Purim is derived from the Hebrew pur, meaning lot, and

refers to the fact that the Persian minister Haman determined the time that all Jews should be destroyed by lot. This circumstance, related in the Hebrew Bibles Book of Esther, is publicly read out from the megillah in the synagogue at Purim. Over the centuries, specimens of Esther scrolls have formed the nuclei of many important collections. The megillah in the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Library in Hanover, dated 1746 and measuring 6.5 meters long, is a very fine and rare example and serves as the original from which TASCHENs exacting facsimile is produced; this particular megillah is unique not only in terms of its lavish illuminations but also because, despite the fact that the Book of Esther has no pendant in Christian religious practice, it contains a Christian biblical text in the German
50

language. Scrolls used in synagogues are not adorned with decorative elementssince scrolls used in the home are not subject to this rule, this very ornately and beautifully adorned Hanover scroll was clearly destined for private use. It arose in a Jewish context: its artist was Wolf Leib Katz Poppers, a Jewish scribe and illustrator from Hildesheim. In fact, the history of this scroll leads back to the world of the court Jews in imperial Vienna under Maria Theresa. TASCHENs facsimile of the scroll is accompanied by a commentary volume which emphasizes the literary quality of the biblical Book of Esther, its importance for the Purim festival, and its significance for Jewish art, leaving the reader with an understanding and appreciation of the artistic quality and cultural background of the megillah.

A city built on two millennia of history, Paris is entering the third century of its love story with photography. It was on the banks of the Seine that Nipce and Daguerre officially gave birth to this new art that has flourished ever since, developing a distinctive language and becoming a vital tool of knowledge. Paris, Portrait of a City leads us through what Goethe described as a universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past, where a fragment of history is unrolled at the corner of every street. This history is recounted in photographs, all the way from Daguerres incunabula to the most recent

images. In fact, Paris can claim to be the only city in the world whose archives house an almost complete record of over a century and a half of transformations. This huge panorama of nearly 600 pages and as many photographs makes Paris, Portrait of a City unique. This book brings together the past and the present, the monumental and the everyday, objects and people. Thanks to images captured by the most illustrious photographersDaguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassa, Kertsz, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many morebut also by many unknown amateurs, these pages show the essential workings of a human drama acted out

on the stage of history. These visions attempt to bottle just a little of that Parisian air, something of that particular poetry given out by the stones and inhabitants of a constantly changing city that has inspired untold numbers of writers and artists over the ages. Presenting an exciting patchwork of images from past and present, Paris, Portrait of a City is a huge and unique photographic study that, in a way, is the true family album of all Parisians. It is to them, and to all lovers of this capital city, that this vibrant, loving and tender testimony is dedicated.

Opposite: Incarnation, oil on panel, 2009

Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, Pop Surrealism, dragging a host of followers in his wake. He has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation. Rydens vocabulary ranges from cryptic to cute, treading a fine line between nostalgic clich and disturbing archetype. Seduced by his infinitely detailed and meticulously glazed surfaces, the viewer is confronted with the juxtaposition of the childhood innocence and the mysterious recesses of the soul. A subtle disquiet inhabits his paintings; the work is achingly beautiful as it

hints at darker psychic stuff beneath the surface of cultural kitsch. In Rydens world cherubic girls rub elbows with strange and mysterious figures. Ornately carved frames lend the paintings a baroque exuberance that adds gravity to their enigmatic themes. Complex in its arcane and idiosyncratic subject matter, Rydens work can leave no viewer unmoved. Pixit, whose title refers to the Latin term meaning painted by, is organized by the themes of Rydens major exhibitionsThe Meat Show, Bunnies & Bees, The Tree Show, and so onand includes collected essays by Yoshitomo Nara, Carlo McCormick, and others, and a new essay by culture critic Kristine McKenna. Rydens paintings and drawings are reproduced using the finest technique available, and over a dozen of the paintings are foldouts that open to a stag 66

gering 150 cm (59 inches) across. Many books have been published on Mark Ryden before, but none like this large-format monograph, released in a boxed Collectors Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by the artist; and also available in an Art Edition of only 50 copies, which come with an artwork. This sweeping retrospective brings together nearly two decades worth of Mark Rydens paintings and works on paper, broadening the horizons of his uncanny universe and bringing it to the world, one big page at a time.

Opposite: Inez van Lamsweerde/Vinoodh Matadin: Kate Moss Yves Saint Laurent Campaign, 2008

Limited Collectors Edition of 1,000 copies, each numbered and signed by the artists. Two-volume retrospective with 666 photographs of pretty much everything that the photographers have been working on for over two decades Additional reader with interviews and texts about the photographic uvre of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin

It is typical of the photographic art of van Lamsweerde and Matadin that they urge their image making to de-stabilise the pristine surfaces expected of consumer culture; to this end they make use, in turn, of the Gothic, inscrutability, androgyny, comedy, eroticism, surrealism, fantasy, montage, cinema, replication, image manipulation, Pop art, fetishism and art historical nuance. Michael Bracewell, from the introduction

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadins work has graced the walls and pages of some of the worlds finest galleries and fashion magazines, and if it is surprising that their photographs easily float between these worlds, it is by virtue of their ease in creating imagery that seeks homes in both culturally elite and mainstream outlets. For some of their photographs, such as their portrait of Bjrk or campaign for Givenchy, van Lamsweerde and Matadin have
68

worked in collaboration with the art directors M/M (Paris), who have also designed this sumptuous two-volume retrospective set that looks back at pretty much everything that the photographers have been working on for over two decades and has brought them to the forefront in the fields of both art and fashion.

modernist Cuisine: The Art and science of Cooking Nathan myhrvold, Chris young, maxime Bilet Flexicover with wire-o, 6 vols. in slipcase, format: 26.3 x 33 cm (10.4 x 13 in.), 2,440 pp. 9780982761007 $ 625 English edition is not available through TAsCHEN in the usA and Canada.

Why plunging food in ice water doesnt stop the cooking process When boiling cooks faster than steaming Why raising the grill doesnt lower the heat How low-cost pots and pans can perform better than expensive ones Why baking is mostly a drying process Why deep-fried food tastes best and browns better when the oil is older How modern cooking techniques can achieve ideal results without the perfect timing or good luck that traditional methods demand.

A revolution is underway in the art of cooking. Just as French Impressionists upended centuries of tradition, Modernist cuisine has in recent years blown through the boundaries of the culinary arts. Borrowing techniques from the laboratory, pioneering chefs at world-renowned restaurants such as elBulli, The Fat Duck, Alinea, and wd~50 have incorporated a deeper understanding of science and advances in cooking technology into their culinary art. The authors and their 20-person team at The Cooking Lab scientists, inventors, and accomplished cooks in their own righthave achieved astounding new

flavors and textures by using tools such as water baths, homogenizers, and centrifuges, and ingredients such as hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and enzymes. Modernist Cuisine is a work destined to reinvent cooking. How do you make an omelet light and tender on the outside, but rich and creamy inside? Or French fries with a light and fluffy interior and a delicate, crisp crust that doesnt go soggy? Imagine being able to encase a mussel in a gelled sphere of its own sweet and briny juice. Or to create a silky-smooth pistachio cream made from nothing more than the nuts themselves.
70

Modernist Cuisine offers step-by-step, illustrated instructions, as well as clear explanations of how these techniques work. Through thousands of original photographs and diagrams, the lavishly illustrated books make the science and technology of the culinary arts clear and engaging. Stunning new photographic techniques take the reader inside the food to see cooking in action all the way from microscopic meat fibers to an entire Weber grill in cross-section. You will view cookingand eatingin a whole new light.

187 artists portraits 44 original photos of artists in their studios 14 essays 7 fold-outs 30-page appendix with artists biographies, a glossary of key terms and an index of names and works

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) possessed one of the greatest minds of all time; his importance and influence are inestimable. This two-volume, midsize-format comprehensive survey is the most complete book ever made on the subject of this Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, scientist and all-around genius. With huge, full-bleed details of Leonardos masterworks, this highly original publication allows the reader to inspect the subtlest facets of his brushstrokes.

Part I explores Leonardos life and work in ten chapters. All of his paintings are interpreted in depth, with The Annunciation and The Last Supper featured on large double-spreads. Part II comprises a catalogue raisonn of Leonardos paintings, which covers all of his surviving and lost painted works and includes texts describing their states of preservation. Part III contains an extensive catalogue of his drawings (numbering in the thousands, they cannot all be reproduced in one book); 663 are
100

presented, arranged by category (architecture, technical, anatomical, figures, proportion, cartography, etc).

The story of modern art begins roughly 150 years ago, when painters left their studios to try and catch nature and the quickly changing light en plein aire, only to find that they did not paint more realistically, instead they were pushed toward the fractured colors and fleeting compositions weve come to associate with the term impressionism. Once standard academy practice had been overcome, there was no holding back, and in a constant desire to pursue new roads, one style supplanted the next, always

bringing different innovations: after Impressionism, there followed Symbolism, Expressionism, futurism, Surrealism, Dada, Abstract art, Minimal, and Pop. Even in postmodernism and the contemporary works of Koons, Kelley, or Wool, this modernist urge to make something new is still very much alive. This publication concentrates on individual works, each piece breaking some amount of new ground, and with 300 featured pieces by as many artists, this means an average of two game
101

changers for every year. Each work is accompanied by a text that places it within the larger narrative, introducing the artist and outlining the agenda. Introductions to all the important art movements give the reader a more thorough grounding in the historical developments, but most of all, it is the year-by-year succession of groundbreaking works, both classics and surprising rediscoveries, that tells the story of an art that always thrived on innovation.

Max Beckmann (18841950) found his central theme in the loneliness of the twentieth century man, threatened by catastrophe and torn between materialism and freedom of mind and spirit. His early pictures showed the influence of Impressionism, with a preponderance of biblical, historical, and allegorical themes. World War I made a deep impression on him: somewhere between Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), the succinct forms and hard contours in his memorable paintings and graphic works showed man at the

limit of physical and mental endurance. Later, the harshness and severity of his style softened and his colors became more radiant, but the monumentality remained. Theater, circus, and music hall became parables of human existence. Beckmanns work is concerned with the fundamental conditions of human existence and the tragic entanglement of the human being dependant on the whims of gods, sexuality, and society. His relentless search for knowledge, his uncompromising commitment to the picture, and his belief in the power of its form and color
102

give his work its distinctive, fascinating character, and have earned him a high-ranking place among the artists of the twentieth century.

This book brings together a vast selection of images by Chinese photographers since 1949, giving readers a visual journey across the great Peoples Republic; edited by esteemed photojournalist Liu Heung Shing, longtime Associated Press correspondent and Time magazine contributor. In post-Mao China, late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping urged his one billion countrymen to seek truth from facts. Taking its cue from Dengs overture, China today is the leading economic story of the 21st century. The process

by which China navigated the path from periphery to a central position in world affairs dominates the debate about Asia and Chinas relationship to the western world. Pulitzer-winning photojournalist Liu Heung Shing charts the visual history of sixty years of the Peoples Republic (1949 to 2008), and along the way aims to illustrate its humanistic course. Via work by 88 Chinese photographers, this collection of images shows how the Chinese people have blossomed in spite of enduring previous decades of extraordinary hardship. When China
103

opened the curtain at the summer Olympics in 2008 and the worlds focus fell upon Beijing, these photographs served to map out the remarkable road the Chinese had traveled to rejoin the rest of the world. To help place the images in context, also included is a chronology listing all the major political events in China.

Designing private homes offers architects more freedom than corporate projects to express their ideas and try out new concepts. Conceiving living spaces is not without its own set of challenges, for which architects are forever looking for innovative solutionsrethinking the way we inhabit our home and live our daily lives is all part of the job when designing a house. Nowadays environmental concerns have become crucial in building sustainable structures, changing the playing field quite profoundly. This twovolume publication rounds up 100 of the worlds

most interesting and pioneering homes from the past decade, featuring a host of talents both new and established, including John Pawson, Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, and Zaha Hadid.

Penguin is a celebration of the nature and beauty of penguins as expressed through the exquisite images and unique personal stories of master photographer and naturalist Frans Lanting. In a remarkable portfolio of photographs made during three expeditions to the icy kingdoms of penguins, he reveals both the amazing natural history and the irresistible appeal of the most human of birds. He first traveled to isolated slivers of land on the Falkland Islands to cover the lives of little penguinsrock-hoppers, Magellanics, and

gentoosand then made a rare circumnavigation of South Georgia by yacht, going ashore to camp among colonies of king penguins and capture the summer rush of birds breeding and feeding before the harsh deprivations of winter set in. Finally he flew to the edge of Antarctica and camped on the sea ice for a month to document the epic life story of the emperor penguin, which survives at the outer limits of life. More than 110 photographs illustrate this moving portrayal of the birds many people feel they already knowbut will see in a powerful new perspec 109

tive through Frans Lantings eyes. This book is a personal interpretation of the penguins I met, rather than a natural history of all penguins, Frans Lanting writes. I wanted to create an impresson of who these penguins are and what they go through. I hope my work will be seen as an homage to the individual within them all."

An intimate stare into both antique and contemporary buildings that tell the stories of Cuban society, culture and industry.
Trace, New York

With his smooth, warm, red face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the Peoples Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s. These infamous posters were, in turn, central fixtures in Chinese homes, railway stations, schools, journals, magazines, and just about anywhere else where people were likely to see them. Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (a.k.a. the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting

factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men and masculinized women and children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing. The goal of each poster was to show the Chinese people what sort of behavior was considered morally correct and how great the future of Communist China would be if everyone followed the same path toward utopia by uniting together. Combining fact and fiction in a way
112

typical of propaganda art, these posters exuded positive vibes and seemed to suggest that Mao was an omnipresent force that would accompany China to happiness and greatness. This book brings together a selection of colorful propaganda artworks and cultural artifacts from photographer Michael Wolfs vast collection of Chinese propaganda posters, many of which are now extremely rare. Michael Wolf lived in Hong Kong for eight years and works as a photographer for Stern. He collects posters and photographs from the period of the Cultural Revolution till today.

Celebrating the relics of Cubas revolutionary glory days, this book explores everything from the kinds of interiors seen in Buena Vista Social Club to top-notch luxury hotels and cultural heritage sites. Via a diverse selection of Havana homes, hotels, gathering places, and more, Inside Havana takes you deep into the heart of the city.

Highlights include: traditional time-worn homes bearing the patina of generations of habitation Modernist housesincluding one by Richard Neutraand artists homes Cubas best eclectic 20th century mansions Partags cigar factory, one of Havanas oldest and finest the baroque building Palacio de los Capitanes Generales the spectacular and futuristic Mario Gironadesigned ice cream haven that is Havanas most popular hangout

Inspired by a babysitter he surprised in front of the bathroom mirror shooting pictures of herself with his Polaroid, photographer Uwe Ommer decided to put together a book of erotic self-portraits by inexperienced photographers. Arming participants with cameras and basic technical instructions, Ommer asked them to photograph themselves in any way they pleasedliberated, so to speak, from the voyeuristic eye of the photographer. Some chose to use

mirrors as they captured their portraits, while others braved the camera without the help of their reflections. While many subjects required no intervention by Ommer, for others he acted as ghost photographer, helping them with the lighting and setup; in both cases, the models were free to indulge their inspirations in any ways they pleasedfrom sexy and provocative to romantic to simply being themselves. The cast of self-portraitists includes a wide
114

range of personalities, from students to artists, actors, stylists, dancers, models, musicians, teachers, and more. This highly original book gives us a rare glimpse at the way everyday women see themselvesor wish they did.

Piranesi was as savage as Salvator Rosa, fierce as Michelangelo, and exuberant as Rubens he has imagined scenes that would startle geometry and exhaust the Indies to realize. Horace Walpole One the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (17201778) is most known for his terrifyingly

original series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri dInvenzione. In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesis romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of
115

contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway. Anyone who contemplates Piranesis etchings will confront the existential nightmare of human existence and its infinite mysteries.
