A Map of the East
In this startling and illuminating book, Leo Rubinfien's "map" is neither precise nor defined by boundaries. It is, rather, a celebration, a book of photographs composed poetically through subjective eyes, a sequence of couplets (here seen as paired photographs) carefully arranged by the hand of an artist.

Chewing Gum and Chocolate
Shomei Tomatsu, one of Japans foremost twentieth-century photographers, created one of the defining portraits of postwar Japan. Beginning with his meditation on the devastation caused by the atomic bombs in 11:02 Nagasaki, Tomatsu continued to focus on the tensions between traditional Japanese culture and the growing westernization of the nation in his seminal book Nihon. Beginning in the late 1950s, Tomatsu committed to photographing as many of the American military bases in Japan as possible. Tomatsus photographs focused on the seismic impact of the American victory and occupation: uniformed American soldiers carousing in red-light districts with Japanese women; foreign children at play in...

Diane Arbus
"Diane Arbus: A Chronology is the closest thing possible to a contemporaneous diary by one of the most daring, influential, and controversial artists of the twentieth century. Drawn primarily from Arbus's correspondence with friends, family, and colleagues; personal notebooks; and other unpublished writings, this beautifully produced volume exposes the astonishing vision of an artist with the courage to see things as they are and the grace to permit them simply to be. The Chronology also includes exhaustively researched footnotes, and biographies of fifty-five personalities, family members, friends, and colleagues, including Marvin Israel, Lisette Model, Weegee and August Sander." -- Publisher's description.
Shomei Tomatsu
"Shomei Tomatsu is the pivotal figure of recent Japanese photography." -John Szarkowski Casting a cold eye on postwar Japan, the raw, grainy and impressionistic photography of Shomei Tomatsu practically defined Japanese photography in the second half of the 20th century, greatly influencing Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki and Takuma Nakihara. His best-known images are his portraits of people and street scenes from the 1950s, when the country struggled to recover from World War II and US military presence was ubiquitous; his photographs of 1960s Japan; and throughout his career, his images of Okinawa, where he died in 2012. Tomatsu's most famous single photograph is probably Melted Bottle, Na...
Garry Winogrand
Considéré comme l'un des plus grands photographes du XXe siècle, Garry Winogrand (1928-1984) a révélé la vie américaine comme peu d'artistes l'avaient fait avant lui, dévoilant sa beauté et sa brutalité mais aussi, parfois, sa drôlerie. Ce catalogue rétrospectif réunit les images les plus emblématiques de l'artiste et des tirages inédits puisés dans les archives, en grande partie inexplorées, du début et à la fin de sa carrière, dévoilant pour la première fois l'étendue de son parcours exceptionnel.
