Coco
Photographer Olivier Fatton's (born 1957) passionate and tender portrayal of Swiss performance artist, model and trans icon Éve-Claudine Lorétan, alias Coco (1969-98). Beginning as a project to document her sexual reassignment surgery, Fatton and Coco's collaboration transformed into a multi-faceted photo-essay; a mosaic of intimate portraits and staged fashion shots.
Jean Piaget and Neuchâtel
Taking a socio-historical and cultural perspective, this book looks at Jean Piaget's own growth from childhood to scientific life. The international and multidisciplinary contributors examine the milieu in which Piaget was born and educated, and search for traces of the experiences, social relationships, commitments and debates that peppered his childhood and adolescence, and informed his future academic career.
Charlotte Perriand
"A major figure of modernism in the 1930s and inextricably linked with the name of Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand was also a major protagonist of the organis forms of the 1950s. She was not only a pioneer of design in the twentieth century, but also a free spirited, generous woman with a fascinating story. We owe her credit for her design contributions promoting a very functional way of everyday life. Today, she has been rediscovered for much of her vital energy as for the simple, precise, natural shapes of her furniture and integrated spaces." --Publisher description.
Art of the Celts
"Neighbors and contemporaries of the Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans, the Celts received inspiration from these advanced civlizations, which set their own creativity in motion. The distinctive Celtic style of art was born, with ornament as its outstanding feature. Naturalistic depiction was never its goal. On the contrary, plants and living creatures were dissected into their individual components and reassembled, were concealed and hidden, distorted and defamiliarized. This book explains the archaeological and historic context of each period, in order to obtain a better understanding of the development and significance of Celtic art and craftsmanship. The catalog contains forty "masterpeices", all outstanding examples illustrating the development of Celtic art. Finally, "101 motifs" demonstrate the varied links within Celtic ornament over the course of time and across Europe"--P. [4] of Cover.
