Tengo un Dragon Dentro del Corazon - The Photographs of Carlota Guerrero (Hardcover): Carlota Gerrero Tengo un Dragon Dentro del Corazon - The Photographs of Carlota Guerrero (Hardcover)
Carlota Gerrero
R888 Discovery Miles 8 880 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although her reputation exploded in 2016 with her iconic portrait of Solange Knowles for the artist's album A Seat at the Table, self-taught photographer Carlota Guerrero has been producing work for more than a decade. This first book of her imagery is a record of Guerrero's evolving style and a compilation of her visual obsessions. It also features texts by some of her renowned collaborative partners including the musician Rosalia, Rupi Kaur, the fashion designer Paloma Lanna, and the writers Alejandra Smits and Leticia Sala, as well as an introduction by the artist herself. In turns dreamy and unflinching, Guerrero's work explores ideas of femininity and gender, nature and human connections, the female body, patterns, and the Golden Ratio. The monograph collects her early work, when she was just discovering her talents and her passion for photographing women in nature; stills from a performance piece that wowed at Art Basel Miami; a collaboration with poet Rupi Kaur; pictures from her project documenting the transgender community in Cuba, and more. At once subversive and ethereal, classical and distinctly individual, Guerrero's photography signals a young artist increasingly at home in a chaotic world and poised to take on whatever comes next.

Everyday Dada (Hardcover): Sian Bonnell Everyday Dada (Hardcover)
Sian Bonnell
R294 R256 Discovery Miles 2 560 Save R38 (13%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"Everyday Dada" is a weird and wonderful take on the world of interior design. Using everyday items of food, Sian Bonnell reconstructs the home environment in a way that is both surprising and humorous. Fried-egg bathroom mats, pasta tablecloths and sliced meat floor-tiles abound, whilst other foodstuffs take on new character - a plate of mash and peas becomes the distant landscape of some undiscovered continent; and carrots, parsnips and bananas become surreal candles in a candelabra of the absurd. As Sian Bonnell says: "I am intrigued by the absurd. Life and the reality of our lives is steeped in absurdity so although my images may look surreal, to me they are more a kind of absurd reality."

Day Sleeper (Paperback): Dorothea Lange Day Sleeper (Paperback)
Dorothea Lange; Edited by Sam Contis
R1,148 Discovery Miles 11 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this book Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of the iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's extensive archive, Contis constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred around the figure of the day sleeper - at once a symbol of respite and oblivion. The book shows us one artist through the eyes of another, with Contis responding to resonances between her and Lange's ways of seeing. It reveals a largely unknown side of Lange, and includes previously unseen photographs of her family, portraiture from her studio, and pictures made in the streets of San Francisco and the East Bay. Day Sleeper will be featured alongside other works of Contis' in the exhibition Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures at the Museum of Modern Art, February-May 2020.

Working Men's Clubs were originally set up for the support and education of the working man. Many clubs have long since disappeared, though there are still six million UK members. As a child, Chris Coekin visited clubs with his parents, both in his home town of Leicester and, on family holidays, around England. "Knock Three Times" is set in the Acomb WMC York, which Chris first photographed in 1996. Through photographs and archive material, Coekin explores the cultural roots and identity of the Working Men's Club and examines the complexity of working class culture, as well as ideas of masculinity, relationships and the work ethic.

Boughton: The House, its People and its Collections (Paperback): Richard Buccleuch Boughton: The House, its People and its Collections (Paperback)
Richard Buccleuch; Photographs by Fritz Von der Schulenburg
R706 Discovery Miles 7 060 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

In this sumptuous portrait of the house known as ‘the English Versailles’, the Duke of Buccleuch sets the scene with a history of his ancestors, the Montagus of Boughton, who acquired the manor in Northamptonshire in the reign of Henry VIII. Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (1638–1709), Charles II’s envoy to Louis XIV, transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture. His son John, the 2nd Duke, was noted for planting long avenues, a love of heraldry, a fondness for practical jokes and the ancient lion he nursed in one of the courtyards. The book showcases Boughton’s magnificent painted ceilings, tapestries and Sèvres porcelain. The celebrated art collection also includes striking portraits of Elizabeth I, Charles II and his son the Duke of Monmouth, another Buccleuch ancestor. Van Dyck’s friends and contemporaries cluster in the Drawing Room in dozen of grisailles. Most eye-catching of all is the portrait of Shakespeare’s muses, the Early and Countess of Southampton. A grand tour takes in the French-inspired façade, the formal State Rooms and the Tudor Great Hall, with their painted ceilings, flamboyant French furniture and the oldest dated carpet in Europe – before moving to the park, with its avenues of soaring limes, network of lakes, and dramatic new sunken pool.

Havana Buzz (Paperback): Alessandro Cosmelli, Gaia Light Havana Buzz (Paperback)

Havana Buzz was shot in 2015 in Havana, Cuba. Once a majestic and cosmopolitan city at the heart of the Spanish colonial empire, turned playground for the American wealthy and powerful in the first half of the 20th century, for nearly 60 years Havana has been the capital of one of the last remaining socialist regimes in the world. This historical U turn is at the core of Havana's unique identity. The anti-urban character of Cuba's communist rule and the inflexible embargo imposed by the United States cast a paralyzing spell on the lavish metropolis, freezing it in time. Havana Buzz explores Cuba's capital at this time of much awaited historical transition. Caught in fleeting glimpses from its public buses, Havana's features are dispassionately laid bare, and the truth is revealed beyond the myth. Behind the romantic languidness of its urban relinquishment, the daily struggles for survival of an impoverished but resourceful population are displayed against the backdrop of anachronistic propaganda billboards, decrepit housing estates, crumbling infrastructures and a lush tropical nature that reclaims its rule after man's neglect. Yet, the signs of change are visible throughout the city and the new appears to seep relentlessly through the cracks of the past, creating a unique blend of antique and nouveau, nostalgia and hope, disillusionment and elation.

Robert Adams, Why People Photograph I, Jack Russell is a journey of discovery that will enthrall dog lovers everywhere. When photographer Andy Hughes, a life long admirer and owner of Jack Russells, realised that he had many more pictures of his dogs than he did of his family and friends, he decided to create this joyous enterprise, photographing one dog which lead to another dog until he had traveled the length and breadth of the UK and then ventured to the USA.

Beyond The Imaginary Gates - Journeys in the Fjord Region of North-East Greenland (Hardcover): Iain Brownlie Roy Beyond The Imaginary Gates - Journeys in the Fjord Region of North-East Greenland (Hardcover)

There are now precious few places left on earth with which we do not feel familiar, if not from first hand experience then at least from the perspective of the armchair traveller - and fewer still where the camera has not yet prescribed our vision. An unrivalled collection of images of one of the last unsullied wildernesses in the world: the vast, uninhabited spaces of north-east Greenland. These beautiful, majestic and poetic landscapes exist in one of the harshest environments on earth. Roy traces the historical background with a brief outline of Greenland's early exploration. He documents the poignant traces of the Inuit tribe - their winter houses, summer tent circles and graves and enigmatic stone mosaics - and the structures left by the European trappers who once plied their dog-sledges in the lonely fjords. Iain Roy's first expedition to Greenland was in 1982, to the mountainous region of the south near Cape Farewell. He was a member of a small group of Arctic enthusiasts who shared a love of wild spaces and whose ambitions were fuelled by the accounts of earlier pioneers - early whaling and expedition journals and memoirs of scientists and trappers from the pre-war period. The group pooled their resources in order to reach remote corners of a faraway region that had become their common obsession. Roy himself has since made ten expeditions to the region.

What is it about horses that draws people in so deeply? Why is it that horses hold meaning and symbolism across cultures around the world? Why do so many of us experience horses as not just beautiful creatures but wise and healing teachers? These are some of the questions that revered equine photographer Tony Stromberg set out to answer with his best photos from the past half decade. The resulting collection more than meets Stromberg's goal of highlighting and honoring the mysterious ways horses and humans can bring out the best, the highest, and the most powerful in one another.

A Kingdom Unseen - People of Saudi Arabia (Hardcover): Alex Schlacher A Kingdom Unseen - People of Saudi Arabia (Hardcover)
Alex Schlacher
R930 Discovery Miles 9 300 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Most countries have been explored and documented extensively - Saudi Arabia isn't one of them. Still shrouded in mystery, the country and its inhabitants are relatively unknown to the rest of the world. Alex Schlacher travelled the entire Kingdom in search of people and culture and was enthusiastically welcomed by a nation eager to shine a light on its extraordinary citizens in a way that hadn't been done before. The West's view on Saudi Arabia is often narrow and impersonal, and media features tend to cover politics and the economy. Schlacher focused on the private lives of Saudis, and the result is a collection of portraits and stories of people living in a vast country steeped in history, a country on the cusp of change.

Frederick Law Olmstead - The Passion of a Public Artist (Paperback): Melvin Kalfus Frederick Law Olmstead - The Passion of a Public Artist (Paperback)
Melvin Kalfus
R698 Discovery Miles 6 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Frederick Law Olmsted's career as a landscape architect was long and varied. The best-known fruits of that career were surely the great urban parks: Central Park in Manhattan, Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Franklin Park in Boston. But most of this took place after the Civil War. Prior to 1865, Olmsted had built a public reputation as an author and journalist (producing three historically important books on slavery and the antebellum South) and as General Secretary of the Sanitary Commission of the Union Forces, the committee in charge of organizing medical treatment for the military during the war. He had also previously been an apprentice merchant, a seaman, a farmer, and manager of a mining plantation in California. His life had been marked by innumerable illnesses and accidents. His personality was notable for its contentiousness and obsessiveness.

Working from Olmsted's own personal and professional writings, Melvin Kalfus seeks to establish in this, the first biography of Olmstead to appear in a decade and a half, the connections between the many facets of Olmstead's life and work. Kalfus shows how Olmsted's childhood afflictions provided him with the inner sources of his creative imagination, provided the symbolism that was the linguistic and visual vocabulary employed in his work, fired his ambition, and led him so obsessively to seek the world's esteem through his works. Finally, Kalfus argues that Olmsted's individual psychodynamics fitted him uniquely to the role of the creative professional in public life-- the agent (or "delegate") for his society's needs-- needs that were unspoken as well as spoken.
