Book Kate Bellm  Amor

Download or read book Kate Bellm Amor written by Nadine Barth and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sexy, bohemian photobook following Kate Bellm's muses across the globe This fabulously produced photobook is the culmination of British photographer Kate Bellm's (born 1987) 10 years of travels with friends and lovers swimming, kissing and skateboarding. Bellm's pure and atmospheric photography seduces into an otherworldly psychedelic paradise--with offbeat colorful landscapes, crazy cacti, hot hazy vistas, flickering palms and colossal rock forms. Her beautiful nudes build intoxicating narratives that radiate a romantic and bohemian alchemy. Like a young and female Helmut Newton, Bellm portrays femininity with fascination, aligning elegance, sexuality and female empowerment. In friends and lovers, Kate finds her models and muses--this allows her to work with a sense of spontaneity and ease, which takes on the charm of youthful freedom. Each image takes the reader on a new sun-drenched road trip or adventure.

Book Frank Kunert

Download or read book Frank Kunert written by Frank Kunert and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multistoried apartment building. Its plaster is grayish beige and exudes a kind of petit-bourgeois tristesse; it has the requisite carpeted balcony railings, the lone flower box, even the deckchair is there. A familiar view. It is only on second glance that we see that something is wrong. All of the balcony doors lead to nowhere, and in turn, the balconies themselves cannot be accessed.German photographer Frank Kunert (*1963 in Frankfurt/Main) has not uncovered any sort of architectural scandal. With Balcony is one of the works that sensitively and enigmatically turn familiar narrative contexts upside down and question reality itself. Far from being simply photographic satire, Kunert's miniatures give three-dimensional form to puns on thoughts and words, making them tangible in the truest sense of the word. Kunert spends weeks constructing his model sets down to the smallest detail and then photographs them in his studio-in the process, creating the antithesis of worn and hackneyed concepts and ideas.

Download or read book Clemens Ascher written by Nadine Barth and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was hier auf den ersten Blick wie ein leicht verdaulicher Augenschmaus erscheint, verhandelt tatsächlich einige der relevantesten und beunruhigendsten Themen unserer Zeit. Die gesellschaftliche Kontrolle durch erzeugte Wünsche, Entfremdung von der Natur und andere unbequeme zeitgenössische Wahrheiten schaffen den Überbau zu Clemens Aschers Fotografien. Während diese konstruierten Welten an Theaterkulissen erinnern, haftet den darin agierenden Protagonisten etwas Unheimliches an. Denn Ascher verbindet darin verschiedene Stile und Themen aus der Kunstgeschichte und Bilder aus unserem kollektiven Gedächtnis, um neue zeitgenössische Aussagen zu erzeugen. Hierfür verwendet er eine oft zugespitzte Werbe-Ästhetik, die er mit ruhigem und losgelösten Minimalismus kontrastiert. Seit mehr als sieben Jahren baut Ascher seinen Werkkorpus aus ¬ eine Welt, die so konstruiert ist wie die Glaubenssysteme, die er persifliert. Diese Publikation führt erstmals seine besten Arbeiten zusammen.

Book excerpt: Some individuals strikingly resemble the art they are viewing, and Stefan Draschan has developed a special perspective on these picturesque correspondences. While strolling through the museums of Europe, Draschan captured similarities between the works of art and the people looking at them, noticing similar colors, patterns, hairdos, or physical posture. The artist has created astonishing visual moments that can be comic, poetic, surprising, but never contrived. The series, which he began working on in 2015, initially started with photo competitions by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the magazine art-Das Kunstmagazin. It immediately took off on the Internet, where the international communities on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram have liked and shared his photographs millions of times.

Book excerpt: Venice in the early 16th century was Europe's undisputed capital of culture: home to some of the finest artists of the Italian Renaissance whose importance stretched far beyond the region. The first great painter to emerge was also the most mysterious. Little is known about Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, known as Giorgione (c. 1477-1510), and few works have been attributed to him with certainty, yet he painted what is considered the first landscape in Western art history and his influence was profoundly felt by contemporaries includ�ing Lorenzo Lotto, Palma il Vecchio, Sebastiano del Piombo, and Titian. This sumptuous volume brings together many of the works attributed to Giorgione, along with other masterpieces of the Venetian school, demonstrating the extraordinary richness of color and mood for which these artists were famed. Published to accompany a major exhibition, this book brings to life an extraordinary moment in art history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning career retrospective of Mona Kuhn, one of the leading figures in contemporary art photography. Mona Kuhn is one of the most respected contemporary photographers of her time, best known for her large-scale photographs of the human form. Throughout a career spanning more than twenty years, the underlying theme of her work is her reflection on humanity’s longing for spiritual connection and solidarity. As she solidified her photographic style, Kuhn created a notable approach to the nude by developing friendships with her subjects, and employing a range of playful visual strategies that use natural light and bucolic settings to evoke a sublime sense of comfort between the human figure and its environment. Her work is natural, restful, and a reinterpretation of the nude in the canon of contemporary art. Kuhn’s distinct aesthetic has propelled her as one of the most collectible contemporary art photographers—her work is in private and public collections worldwide and she is represented by galleries across the United States. Mona Kuhn: Works, the artist’s first retrospective, features images from throughout her career, accompanied by insightful texts by Rebecca Morse, Simon Baker, Chris Littlewood, and Darius Himes. An interview with Elizabeth Avedon provides insights into Kuhn’s creative process and the ways in which she works with her subjects and locations, and achieves the visual signature of her imagery. Published to coincide with a traveling international exhibition, opening at Fotografiska in New York, this book introduces Kuhn’s distinct aesthetic to a wide popular audience., It is an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the human form in contemporary art.

Book Cecil Beaton s Bright Young Things

Download or read book Cecil Beaton s Bright Young Things written by and published by National Portrait Gallery. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stylish and extravagant world of the "Bright Young Things" of 1920s and '30s London, seen through the eye of renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton In 1920s and '30s Britain, Cecil Beaton used his camera and his larger-than-life personality to mingle with that flamboyant and rebellious group of artists, writers, socialites and partygoers who became known as the "Bright Young Things." Famously fictionalized by the likes of Evelyn Waugh (in Vile Bodies), Anthony Powell and Henry Green, these men and women cut a dramatic swathe through the epoch and embodied its roaring spirit. In a series of themed chapters, covering Beaton's first self-portraits and earliest sitters to his time at Cambridge and as principle society photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair, over 50 leading figures who sat for Beaton are profiled and the dazzling parties, pageants and balls of the period are brought to life. Among this glittering cast are Beaton's socialite sisters Baba and Nancy Beaton, Stephen Tennant, Siegfried Sassoon, Evelyn Waugh and Daphne du Maurier. Beaton's photographs are complemented by a wide range of letters, drawings, book jackets and ephemera, and contextualised by artworks created by those in his circle, including Christopher Wood, Rex Whistler and Henry Lamb. Cecil Beaton (1904-80) is one of the most celebrated British portrait photographers of the 20th century and is renowned for his images of elegance, glamour and style. Beaton quickly developed a reputation for his striking and fantastic photographs, which culminated in his portraits of Queen Elizabeth in 1939. Also well known as a diarist, Beaton became a society fixture in his own right. His influence on portrait photography was profound and lives on today in the work of many contemporary photographers.
