"The poster art of Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely is the last body of work of both artists that remains largely unknown to the general public. Shown here for the first time, in magnificent color, are all 41 of Niki's posters as well as 87 by Jean that, along with their joint projects, produce an invaluable catalogue raisonne of the graphic art of this unforgettable couple." "While Jean Tinguely's posters originally seemed like construction sketches for his kinetic objects, they later developed into rotating abstract color compositions. And, within a short time, Niki's posters became playgrounds for her Nanas. Well-padded and acrobatic, sometimes winged or merely a torso, they danced around the advertising columns of the world until the '90s."--BOOK JACKET.
"The life of British photographer George Rodger (1908-1995) was full of adventure. He was fascinated at an early age by the important storytellers Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad and Henry Rider Haggard. During World War II, Rodger worked in sixty-one countries, as a war correspondent, amongst others for LIFE and Picture Post. Traumatized by what he saw at the concentration camp in Bergen-Belsen, which had just been liberated by British forces, he decided to never again work as a war correspondent. In 1947, along with Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and David Seymour he founded MAGNUM Photos before setting out on a 21,000-mile journey across Africa and the Middle East. This monograph presents a selection of Rodger's best photographs from between 1940 and 1949, the crucial years of his career." --Book Jacket.
In Germany the end of World War II calls forth images of obliterated cities, hungry refugees, and ghostly monuments to Nazi crimes. Drawing on diaries, photographs, essays, reports, fiction and film, Werner Sollors makes visceral the sorrow and anger, guilt and pride, despondency and resilience of a defeated people--and the paradoxes of occupation.

Joseph Beuys was an influential thinker and teacher among artists of his generation. His dictum 'Everyone is an artist' belied a singular talent for merging media and ideas. This book highlights a selection of his posters and includes a catalog of his entire oeuvre in the field.
1985 äußerte Joseph Beuys in der Reihe »Reden über das eigene Land: Deutschland« an den Münchner Kammerspielen, dass er sein Werk »von der Sprache aus« entwickelt habe. Er verstand die Sprache – den bildnerischen Gestaltungsmitteln ebenbürtig – als plastisches Material, durch das jede Einzelne und jeder Einzelne körperlich, intellektuell und kommunikativ an der Neuordnung der Gesellschaft teilhaben könne. Seine Auseinandersetzung mit Sprache reicht vom Schweigen bis zur stundenlangen Diskussion, von animalisch klingenden Lauten bis zu präzisen Begriffserörterungen und verrätselten Schriften. Entsprechend gliedern sich die Kapitel in die Themen Schweigen, Laute, Begriffe, Schrift, Geheimnis, Legende und Sprechen. Ausstellung und Katalog versammeln Skulpturen, Zeichnungen, Installationen, Filme, Plakate und Dokumente aus den Beständen der Nationalgalerie, der Sammlung Marx, des Kupferstichkabinetts und der Kunstbibliothek der SMB.
