Loving
Loving: A Photographic Story of Men in Love, 1850-1950 portrays the history of romantic love between men in hundreds of moving and tender vernacular photographs taken between the years 1850 and 1950. This visual narrative of astonishing sensitivity brings to light an until-now-unpublished collection of hundreds of snapshots, portraits, and group photos taken in the most varied of contexts, both private and public. Taken when male partnerships were often illegal, the photos here were found at flea markets, in shoe boxes, family archives, old suitcases, and later online and at auctions. The collection now includes photos from all over the world: Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, France, Ge...

Pierre Dartevelle and African Art
'Les arts primordiaux', as the author himself defines them, have been the cornerstone and passion of his life. And everything about his daily life expresses just this: the shelves overflowing with books and catalogues on extra-European art, the statues, the masks, and the way all this material is piled up in no particular order, blocking our view in every direction and preventing us from seeing any sort of background in the rooms. There is no doubting what makes Pierre Dartevelle get up in the morning. He has devoted fifty years to getting African art's status recognized in Brussels, where in 1967 he opened a gallery in impasse Saint Jacques at the Grand Sablon, which soon achieved internati...

Working only from life, the artist claimed 'I could never put anything into a picture that wasn't actually there in front of me.' Lucian Freud Portraits surveys his portraits and figure paintings from across his long career. Drawing together the finest portraits from public and private collections around the world, the book explores Freud's stylistic development and technical virtuosity. A series of previously unpublished interviews conducted by Michael Auping between May 2009 and January 2011 reveal the artist's thoughts on the complex relationship b...
