The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
The world of Helmut Newton is extremely complex and diverse. Considered shocking and provocative back in the sixties, lie now enjoys the reputation of a photographer who was able to imagine and visualize women exactly as they are today at the dawn of the new millennium : women who take the lead rather than follow it ; women who enjoy the resplendence and vitality of their bodies, bodies over which they themselves have sole command ; women who are both responsible and willing. Fashion, nudes, portraits - these are the three categories into which Helmut Newton divides his work. But it is not as simple as that, for a fashion shot may also be a portrait or a nude, and vice versa. This book presents the whole spectrum of Helmut Newton's work and celebrates the 80th birthday of this outstanding photographer, 1920 born in Berlin, the capital of the intellectual and artistic avant-garde with which lie has been associated ever since. L'univers de Helmut Newton est extrêmement complexe et riche. Perçu dans les années 1960 comme choquant et provocateur, il apparaît aujourd'hui comme visionnaire et formidablement anticipateur de ce qu'est devenue l'image de la femme à l'aube du nouveau millénaire : une femme de tête et non soumise, libre et consciente de ses désirs dans un corps resplendissant de vitalité, responsable et consentante. Mode, nus, portraits, c'est par ces trois catégories que Helmut Newton définit son travail. Mais ce n'est pas si simple, car une photo de mode peut être aussi un portrait ou un nu et réciproquement. Tel est l'objet de ce livre qui célèbre les 80 ans de cet immense photographe, né précisément en 1920 à Berlin, alors capitale des avant-gardes intellectuelles et artistiques, et avec laquelle il garde toujours des liens privilégiés.
