Thomas Kellner inventor of visual analytical synthesis. Thomas Kellner's catalogue Tango Metropolis shows his most famous work on iconic architectures and new world wonders. The unique images of "dancing" buildings such as the Brandenburg Gate and Saint Basil's Cathedral are analogous contact sheets with hundreds of pictures. Kellner manages to breathe new life into architectural icons that probably have been photographed thousands of times. He awakes a previously unknown curiosity which can be observed in children when they open a kinder surprise egg. In the trilingual essay (russian original and german and english translation), Professor Chmyreva explains the term, which was invented by her, for Kellners work of "visual analytical synthesis". This description hits the nail on the head. Interestingly enough Chmyreva refers the terms analytical and synthesis onto Kellner's work and ranges Kellners work with a reference to Cezanne and Signac.

The Soviet Century brings together some 550 photographs by almost 50 great masters of Russian photography, which document the history of Russia between 1917 and 1970. Authors such as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Giorgi Zelma and El Lissitzky portrayed meetings, celebrations, protests, parades, factories, farms, cities, buildings, wars... and they also made countless portraits of political leaders, writers, artists, children peasants, soldiers, miners, etc. Grouped into eight thematic chapters, the images reconstruct the 1917 Revolution, the dawn of the artistic avant-garde, the implementation of the five-year plans and World War II, among many other historical events. Accompanied by three essays on Soviet history, art and photography, as well as short biographies of all the featured photographers and other complementary texts, this beautiful, comprehensive publication serves as a key testimony to the construction and evolution of the Soviet regime, as well as a thorough history of 20th-century Russian photography. It is a must for 20th-century history enthusiasts and photography fans alike.

Maxim Marmur: The Coal People (Hardcover): Maxim Marmur, Evgeny Berezner, Irina Chmyreva Maxim Marmur: The Coal People (Hardcover)

Maxim Marmur is a famous Russian photographer who has come a long way from local newspapers to his position as a news photographer at the major global news agencies. Marmur's creative success is dictated by the trademark style of his visual research. Every moment captured in his photographs overcomes the immediate nature of reportage and acquires the quality of a self-contained piece of photography. The grandeur of every fleeting moment of life-this is what we experience when looking at Marmur's photographs. His unique perception of photography as art, which restores the meaning and emotion to every instant of life, is most expressive in The Coal People project devoted to miners of the Russian Siberia and Far East. Marmur spent three years working on the project. In 2017-2018, it was exhibited across Russia, in Italy and China.
