Light of Spain
- These pages tell the story without words of a journey through Spain in which Fernando Manso visited unknown and hidden corners and captured them on the plates of his large-format cameraThese pages tell the story without words of a journey through Spain in which the author, the photographer Fernando Manso, visited unknown and hidden corners and captured them on the plates of his large-format camera. From the remotest parts of Galicia to those of Almer穩a, he passed through coasts, deserts and mountains, stopping at old churches, ghostly castles or majestic cathedrals, in forests and gorges, at natural pools and salt mines, and at cemeteries, Arab baths and hermitages carved out of the rock. Fernando has made the light of these places into the leading figure of his journey. His is a different light, as he has relinquished blue skies and brilliant sunshine, often the stuff of clich矇s, to make way for visions of places that appear to us with such intimate truth that even if we know them, we can barely recognise them. This is thanks to his technique, his art and the patience with which he waits for the light. Fernando's luxury is being able to use all the time in the world to draw us into an artistic heritage that is sometimes secret and hard to reach, and which the viewer has to know how to see. He reveals these places, often in danger of disappearing, after detailed investigation. Both architecture and landscape - for he knows that natural scenery is also a major patrimony that has to be affectionately preserved and protected from speculation - belong to all of us, and we are responsible for their care. We must be aware of this. The result of that trip is this publication, with beautiful images in reproductions of exceptional quality that present us with a vision of Spain in a different light.Awarded Silver Medal for Best Book in Spain by the Ministry of Culture

Dustin Pittman
Dustin Pittman amassed an archive of 100,000 photographs chronicling the untamed corners of New York City's after-hours nightlife, from shadowy underground haunts to prestigious galleries and clubs. This "wish I was there" book unveils the vibrant pop culture scene of New York during the 1970s and '80s. Pittman was not just an observer but was an active participant in the places and events that shaped pop culture as we know it--the goings- on at Andy Warhol's Factory, the women's liberation movements of the 1970s, the VIP room at Studio 54, and the nascent punk scene at CBGB and The Mudd Club. Through Pittman's lens, readers are provided an intimate glimpse into the intersecting worlds of fashion and celebrity, music, art, and politics--from the glam rock underground and the golden age of disco to the ateliers of the world's most famous fashion designers such as Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, and Calvin Klein. Pittman was witness to such rising stars as Blondie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The New York Dolls, and Roxy Music, as well as seminal cultural figures including Raquel Welch, Truman Capote, Diana Ross, Tina Chow, Brooke Shields, Jerry Hall, Divine, and Liza Minnelli--all caught in spontaneous, unguarded New York moments. A vast majority are previously unpublished images of some of the most iconic and revered figures of the late 20th century, accompanied by firsthand observations and remembrances by Pittman. The book features an introductory essay offering an objective view of Pittman's work and importance as a chronicle of the music, art, and fashion scenes.
Nature's Writers
A photographic celebration of the landscapes that have influenced some of America's most important nature writers--from John Muir to Terry Tempest Williams to Barbara Kingsolver. Since 2019, Donald S. Clark has documented the places that have been instrumental in influencing the lives and words of both historic and contemporary nature and environmental writers throughout the United States. While we have always felt their passionate connection to their own environments, no book has ever made this visual connection between writers and their land before--the relationship between prose and place. Featuring more than 40 of America's most important writers, the content is as far-reaching as America itself: from sea to shining sea, forest to prairie, and mountain to coastline. Accompanying each gallery of stunning photography is a selected excerpt by the writer about their land. With the increasingly noticeable effects of climate change, the significance of these writers--and their personal connections to the environment--is even more timely. This unique and compelling story of the land and how it has inspired some of our greatest poets and authors will make a wonderful gift for budding environmentalists, students of nature writing, or anyone interested in conservation.

The Lives of Lee Miller
Beautiful, bewitching, and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of life's adventurers. She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography, and surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau. These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Miller's finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning, and Ernst, Penrose's tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.
The Mothers I Might Have Had
When Caroline Furneaux's father Colin died suddenly in 2011, she discovered an archive of 35mm slides that he had shot during the 1960s. They were a beguiling series of beautiful women photographed in idyllic locations, mostly in Sweden. It was during this time that he had first met Caroline's Swedish mother, Barbro, yet most of the photographs were not of her. Who were they all? For Furneaux these girlfriends evoked off-duty film stars from a bygone era. They were everyday goddesses encapsulating the essence of Scandinavian summers and youth: short and intensely sweet. Sleuth-like, Furneaux scoured the photographs for clues to who the women might be and how her father might have met them. She showed them to family members, but they didn't recognise any of them. As the work progressed, however, she realised that what she was really trying to unlock was the identity of this young man, and the complex father he would become. By some miracle of light and time, these magnificent strangers had connected her with this insouciant version of her father, and given their relationship a new life.
Barbra Streisand. Steve Schapiro & Lawrence Schiller
In 1970 Barbra Streisand published a story in Life magazine titled "Who Am I Anyway?" It was the very question two leading photojournalists of the day--Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller--were also asking as they photographed her during her first five years in Hollywood, working to get beneath the veneer and capture "the real Barbra." Brimming with photographs, stories, and behind-the-scenes shots from Schapiro and Schiller, and previously available as a limited edition, this is a must-have collection for any Streisand fan. All the best movies of Streisand's first Hollywood decade are here: Funny Girl, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Way We Were, The Owl and the Pussycat, Up the Sandbox, Funny Lady, and A Star Is Born. So too are her loves, directors, confidants, and costars: Elliott Gould, William Wyler, Sydney Pollack, Vincente Minnelli, Cis Corman, Omar Sharif, Kris Kristofferson, and, of course, Robert Redford. Through it all a picture emerges not of a singer who could act, but of an actress who could sing, write, direct, dance, and do just about anything she put her mind to.
Photography Bizarre: English Edition
Throughout history, humans have depicted themselves and their surroundings. Various artefacts, especially from ancient times, document the intimate practices prevalent at the time. But it was the invention of photography that democratized depictions. Now anyone could document even the most private experiences and, in some cases, sell them. Especially in the first half of the 20th century, the business with professional and private "dirty" images flourished. This selection of bizarre photography compiled by French collector Alexandre Dupouy is a unique cultural and historical document. It includes absolutely taboo photography, from staged role-playing games to private - let's call it "silly-cheeky" snapshots. 50 years of intimate insights into a frivolous Western society that has shed all shame long ago.

But developmentinitiatives, surging rent prices, and environmental hazards have disrupted thisdream. Waisman's images, collected over seven years, ruminate on worn corrugatedexteriors, cracked ceramic tile, and the looming construction of luxuryapartment buildings nearby. Anhomage to a way of life that is quickly slipping away, Sunset Coloniesraises urgent questions about the invisibility of mobile communities, theirhistories, and their potential futures. Waisman also emphasizes the strengthand resilience of people whose definition of home lies in the balance betweenmemory and encroaching reality. Together, the images and essays in this bookcreate a multilayered meditation on place, community, and dignity.

His photographs are always portraits of real people, or in Dirk Pieter's words, true angels. His angels are not necessarily linked to time, place or environment. They could fit everywhere, like angels do.

Gregory Crewdson
Filled with meticulously constructed photographs that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination, this sumptuously produced retrospective features more than thirty years of work by one of America's most influential photographers. For more than three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been luring viewers into the worlds of his cinematic, highly detailed, and assiduously crafted photographs. This retrospective catalog features images from nine series that represent a broad chronological spectrum of Crewdson's oeuvre.Included are selections from Twilight, the eerie and often darkly humorous photographs inspired by Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Beneath the Roses, which illuminates townscapes, forest clearings and broad, desolate streets with unsettling clarity; the black and white images of Sanctuary, shot on location at the legendary Cinecittà studios on the outskirts of Rome; Cathedral of the Pines, a paean to the beauty and tragedy of a gritty western Massachusetts town; and Eveningside, in which moments of alienation and wonder occur within the confines of quotidian life. With highest quality reproductions, paper changes, and incisive essays by photography expert Walter Moser and other esteemed art historians, this exhibition catalog reveals why Crewdson's powerful, elegiac and painterly photos draw comparisons to old master painting, staged photography and auteur cinema.
Fortune of the Spirit
A career-spanning examination of the work of Robert Bergman and its place within the history of American art This unprecedented retrospective offers a detailed analysis of Robert Bergman's psychologically penetrating art across the breadth of his career. Shaped by the vocabulary of painting as much as photography, Bergman's often wrenching, beautifully evocative photographs tumble headlong into the emotional, physical, and mental struggles of living, challenging us to look deeply within ourselves and to reconsider how we relate to strangers. Long heralded by luminaries across different disciplines--including the author Toni Morrison, art historian Meyer Schapiro, and social activist Peter Gabel--Bergman's images offer a counterpoint to contemporary society's preoccupations with identity, division, and complaint. Introducing the underground legend to a new generation, this volume presents the first full survey of Bergman's work from the mid-1960s to the present, including many previously unpublished images, and essays from art historians, artists, and academics that contextualize the circumstances of Bergman's life and work and examine how his pictorial representations resonate with the human experience.

Synopsis: This book was a co-operative effort of three generations of the same family and a 27-year resident of Greenwich, Connecticut. The idea for this book originated when Patricia (the resident) was giving Thelma, Cheryl, and Kim (3 generations) a driving tour of the Greenwich area. One of us said, "This tour should be called Gates of Greenwich" ... and that is how this lovely coffee table book was conceived! Kim, Thelma, and Cheryl, worked together in choosing the photos for this book and worked as a "think tank" for this publication.Autobiography: Thelma Nichols Geary "Gigi"(Great Grandma Geary) wrote the poetry for this book and was very involved with the photo selection and placement. Cheryl Geary Schultz (Thelma's daughter) and Kimberly Lynn Schultz (Cheryl's daughter) did the photography for this book and worked with Thelma on the poetry. Patricia Munson Duncan is a 27 years resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, a place she loves. She was the 'tour guide' and located the gates and gateways shown in this book.
Water Prints
WATER PRINTS is an archive of experiments testing the interaction of prints with water, and varied painting and paper folding techniques. These liquid methodologies, developed around the creation of monoprints, were initially planned as samples for the 'liquid memories' workshop and resulting publication 'liquid memories to read with water '(published May 2022). Whilst that collective photobook work responded to the group's challenge of photographing / remembering with water, this publication Water Prints differs in the way it privileges paula's more personal process. The term 'water prints' is mobilised to designate a way of altering the photographic surface via concrete intersections of the materialities of photoprints and tainted water. The selection of water prints guides us into the realms of water and its archival time, exploring the liquid entanglements of water, place, photography and memory.Submitting historical photographs and documents collected around the zone of Pasteleira Reservoir (around the Douro river, Portugal) to multiple watery treatments, shows us, on the one hand, the way water is mobilised towards historical constructs that define territorial power; On the other hand, water's material mobility equals the nonlinear flow of time, suggesting why our memories may appear to us in the shape of watery places and phenomena.

Robert Capa in the Making
Capa's groundbreaking photographs contextualized through original articles and his own rarely seen notes on the margins of printsPhotographer, filmmaker and war correspondent Robert Capa (1913-54) is a legend of photojournalism. His work--widely recognized and disseminated, although sometimes criticized for its truthfulness--is integral to the history of the photograph. Capa covered all the major midcentury events: from the Front Populaire in France to the Spanish Civil War, World War II and finally the First Indochina War, where he lost his life. Robert Capa in the Making retraces Capa's work through images from private collections published for the first time. Together with his most iconic works, these rarely seen images construct a complete story, particularly how they were used and published. Reproductions of original newspaper articles illustrated by Capa's images create new narratives through which to judge his documentation. Le Monde journalist Michel Lefebvre interprets the hidden details omitted through the years; the writing on the backs of the prints, a detail on a note, a place left out or a date that changes are all clues that reconstruct this immense corpus.
Marvin E. Newman
In 1952, after becoming one of the first-ever recipients of a Master of Science degree in Photography at Chicago's Institute of Design, native New Yorker Marvin E. Newman returned to his hometown. Like many artists before, he set about chronicling the city. Unlike his predecessors, Newman chose color photography as the preeminent medium for capturing the people and energy of New York, and its emergence in the 1950s as the self-proclaimed "Greatest City in the World."Lauded by the likes of Eastman House, MoMA, and the International Center of Photography, Newman's images remained, up until now, largely undiscovered beyond a prestigious collector and gallery circle. After featuring Newman in New York: Portrait of a City, TASCHEN now presents the artist's first career monograph including some 170 pictures from the late 1940s through the early 1980s, previously available in a Collector's Edition. Newman passed away in 2023 at the age of 95.From Times Square to Wall Street, from Broadway to Little Italy, Newman's vivid, original tableaux offer fresh perspectives on familiar New York landmarks but, above all, a unique sense for life in the city and for the drama and extremities that weld New York to so many hearts. Beyond New York, Newman applies the same flawless technique and humanist sensibility to other locations across the United States including Chicago, Kansas, a vintage 1950s circus; a legalized brothel in Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas; Alaska; and groovy 1960s California; as well as top shots from his sports photography portfolio featuring icons such as Cassius Clay and Pele織.Newman, who is represented by the prestigious Howard Greenberg Gallery, was long overdue a monograph. With an essay by critic and scholar Lyle Rexer, this first chronological retrospective offers due recognition to an outstanding talent, providing memorable images that leave their mark on the eye and the soul.

The Bar is OPEN
New York City's landmark Spring Lounge is the stuff of legend and lore. Open 365 days a year, 20 hours a day, the watering hole has shut down only for the direst emergencies, like the Covid pandemic of 2020 that shuttered business establishments all over the city by order of the state and local governments. Even then, though, the doughty bar was back in business after a hiatus of just three and a half months. Now it's not just back, but back on its feet and better than ever. The Bar Is Open, now on sale, is a celebration of the establishment in essays, photography and art, from the dark days of the plague year to the present prosperity. Spring Lounge is renowned for many things, including three massive stuffed sharks, one a hammerhead, that grace the walls and were caught by the bar's former owners. The predators that hover over the publicans and patrons alike are the source of Spring Lounge's nickname, Shark Bar. Kegs 'n' Eggs breakfast and beer spreads, chili cook-offs, an ever-changing menu of the finest craft beers, aged whiskey (at a premium price), and a boisterous regular clientele keep the bar humming. When the door swings open at 8 a.m. sharp on weekdays and 10 a.m. on Sundays, the famed Early Morning Drinkers Society convenes, as attested by the bar's motto: Life Is Short. Drink Early. Here you'll meet colorful characters past and present: Jeff the neighborhood sot, barred from the bar, but flitting round it nonetheless, often falling asleep in an inebriated lump on the sidewalk. Whenever a kind soul would offer him a few dollars, he's whip out a huge wad of bills and add the contribution to it. Richie the garrulous, windy bore with the Popeye face and a voice like an ice pick on the eardrums. Jay the legendary bartender with his vast fund of stories from his days in Hollywood; a star on the sitcom The Jeffersons, among other venues including the daytime soaps. Annie the 70s-something postal lady whose signature, "Oh, hell no!" defines her personality. Artists, writers, photographers, a deacon at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Jen the general manager who worked her way up from bar back, Slap Shot Tom, who once had a tryout with the Dallas Stars, Fireman Johnny of Ladder 20 - that gang's all here. "Gentleman, the bar is open" - with those words, uttered on July 1, 2020, the bar's enforced closure because of the pandemic came to a blessed end, inspiring the title of this book. And now this book opens the famed bar to a wider public beyond New York City. You can virtually step through the front door by merely opening the cover, and beginning your tour. But beware - as noted on the index page, and by a sign in the front window of the bar, hippies must use the side door. Readers, The Bar Is Open - buy now, and enjoy. A Pood Paw Prints publication.
