Holzschnitt
Am Anfang steht der Holzschnitt. Mit Holzschnitt. 1400 bis heute beginnt eine Publikationsreihe, die die künstlerischen Drucktechniken in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt und Jahrhunderte währenden Faszination vorstellt – entwickelt aus der einzigartigen Sammlung des Berliner Kupferstichkabinetts. Anhand von rund 100 Kunstwerken auf Papier – u.a. Meisterwerke von Albrecht Dürer, Edvard Munch oder Käthe Kollwitz – wird die Entwicklung der Technik von ihren Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart nachgezeichnet: Von Lucas Cranach und den Chiaroscuro-Holzschnitten der Renaissance, über extravagante Farbdrucke des Rokoko und die vom japanischen Farbholzschnitt inspirierten, an Aquarelle erinnernden Drucke des späten 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur radikal reduzierten Formensprache des Expressionismus und der Wiedergeburt des Holzschnitts in der Moderne. Das Widerständige und Unregelmäßige des Materials wird auch in der zeitgenössischen Kunst geschätzt: Fotorealistische Arbeiten bis hin zu abstrakten Großformaten werden als Unikate abgezogen und laufen dem reproduktiven Charakter des Mediums bewusst zuwider – sie verleihen dem ältesten druckgrafischen Verfahren eine große Aktualität.
Matisse’s Poets
Throughout his career, Henri Matisse used imagery as a means of engaging critically with poetry and prose by a diverse range of authors. Kathryn Brown offers a groundbreaking account of Matisse's position in the literary cross-currents of 20th-century France and explores ways in which reading influenced the artist's work in a range of media. This study argues that the livre d'artiste became the privileged means by which Matisse enfolded literature into his own idiom and demonstrated the centrality of his aesthetic to modernist debates about authorship and creativity. By tracing the compositional and interpretive choices that Matisse made as a painter, print maker, and reader in the field of ...
Matisse
MATISSE: DRAWING LIFE, and the exhibition it accompanies, explores Matisse's works, on and with paper, made throughout his long career. Featuring more than 300 drawings, prints, illustrated books and selected paintings and paper cut-outs by one of the twentieth century's greatest artists, it traces an arc from the artist's studies in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, through the intimacies of daily life in his studio sketched in pencil and pen, to the masterpieces made using line, light and colour in the decade before his death in 1954. This publication showcases the most comprehensive gathering of Matisse's graphic work from major international museums and private collections ever presented in an exhibition with new writing by Isabelle Monod-Fontaine, Celine Chicha-Castex and Emilie Ovaere-Corthay.

Le monde selon Topor
Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition éponyme et présentée à la BnF, Paris, du 28 mars au 16 juillet 2017.00Il y a vingt ans, Roland Topor disparaît, à l?âge de cinquante-neuf ans, laissant une œuvre protéiforme : dessins, nouvelles, romans, chansons, pièces de théâtre, films, séries télévisées.0Vingt ans : l?occasion de revenir sur l?aventure de ce créateur hors du commun qui débute en 1958 par un dessin en couverture de la revue Bizarre et se poursuit avec une collaboration régulière à Hara-Kiri. Dès lors, il va publier régulièrement ses dessins dans la presse française et internationale, à grand tirage ou confidentielle.0En 1961, une amitié fructueuse naît avec Fernando Arrabal et Alejandro Jodorowsky ; elle est à l?origine de la création du groupe Panique qui réunira plusieurs artistes de renom.0Topor multiplie les activités, mélange les supports et les genres, délaissant le dessin d?humour pour se consacrer à un art total. Il devient l?artiste du corps blessé, du rêve et de l?angoisse ? autant de sources d?inspiration qu?il explore en un feu d?artifice dont le présent ouvrage donne la démesure.0.
Robert Delaunay and the City of Lights
Robert Delaunay and The City of Lights will recognise Delaunay's unwavering commitment to colour in painting to convey form, depth, light and movement, while highlighting how the modern metropolis of Paris often provided the inspiration for his imagery and pictorial research. The newly commissioned texts allow the reader to experience the wide-ranging and prescient nature of Robert Delaunay's work - exploring the significant themes of movement, technology, sport, and advertising that were to preoccupy him throughout his career.
Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse’s experiments with form and color revolutionized the twentieth-century art world. In this concise critical biography, Kathryn Brown explores Matisse’s long career, beginning with his struggles as a student in Paris and culminating in his celebrated use of paper cutouts and stained glass in the last decade of his life. The book challenges various myths about Matisse and offers a fresh perspective on his creativity and legacy. Chapters explore the artist’s enthusiasm for fashion and cinema, his travels, personal ties, interest in African art, love of literature, and willingness to challenge audience expectations. Through close readings of Matisse’s works, Brown offers new insight into the artist’s friendships and battles with dealers, critics, collectors, and fellow artists.
Paper Tiger
Their generation was anything but lost, at least in the beginning. Filled with fiery ambition and idealistic to a fault, they found their voice in the Paris of 1968 and were intent on exposing the powers of repression and the demons of Western capitalism (and what, really, was the difference?)?by any means. But the acts of violence misfired, the principles of Marxism and Maoism became emptied of meaning, and the casualties mounted. The protagonist Martin is now middle-aged; his group, ?The Cause,? is disbanded; his best friend has committed suicide; and he finds he must try to explain to the man?s daughter who they were, what they thought they were doing, and what happened. ø Paper Tiger takes place during one night that this unlikely couple spends driving around Paris as they revisit a somewhat distant past. This odyssey is adroitly evoked by Rolin's long, fluid sentences as they reflect the car?s route past the sundry signs of the past and advertisements of the present dotting the Paris beltway. ø This prize-winning novel by one of France?s most acclaimed writers tells, through Martin, the elegiac story of a whole generation?s coming of age.
