History of Photography
The fourth volume in a history of photography, this is a bibliography of books on the subject.
Explorers
This publication brings together an outstanding ensemble of works by artist “explorers” selected from France’s national collections. Whatever the terrain — on land or at the depths of the ocean, real, virtual or even at the farthest limits of the subconscious — exploration remains a quest, accomplished thanks to and in spite of oneself, to redefine the contours of a world, whether it exists for real or in our imagination. In this respect, exploration is not so unlike art, which is largely inspired by it, both in terms of how it is done and its objective. From Voyage autour de ma chambre by Xavier de Maistre, whose detailed inventory encompasses just a single room, to Jules Vernes...
Modigliani
Modigliani was one of the greatest Italian artists of the early 1900's. This catalogue presents a wide selection of his work including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and never before seen masterpieces, selected from major international museums and private collections.
Fernand Léger
Fernand Leger (1881-1955) is the only modern artist to choose modernity itself as his subject. From his early series Contrastes de formes (1913-14), the first fully abstract works to emerge from Cubism, through his last realistic paintings of construction workers from the early 1950s, Leger's lifelong subject was the pulse and dynamism of contemporary life.

Mythologies et mythes individuels
À partir des notions de « mythologie individuelle » et de « mythe individuel », il s'agit d'interroger les caractéristiques prêtées à l’art brut, renouvelées par leur extension ou déplacement dans le champ de la création moderne et contemporaine, ainsi que leur rapport à l’histoire. Ce qu’on nomme « l’art brut », en incluant ses extensions dans...
Learning from Madness
Throughout the history of European modernism, philosophers and artists have been fascinated by madness. Something different happened in Brazil, however, with the “art of the insane” that flourished within the modernist movements there. From the 1920s to the 1960s, the direction and creation of art by the mentally ill was actively encouraged by prominent figures in both medicine and art criticism, which led to a much wider appreciation among the curators of major institutions of modern art in Brazil, where pieces are included in important exhibitions and collections. Kaira M. Cabañas shows that at the center of this advocacy stood such significant proponents as psychiatrists Osório Cés...
Ernst Jünger-Bibliographie. Fortsetzung
Die vorliegende Bibliographie zu Ernst Jünger führt den 2003 erschienenen Vorgängerband weiter und dokumentiert die komplexe Forschungsgeschichte bis zum Jahr 2015 in übersichtlicher Systematik: Monographien, Kongress-Schriften, Beiträge in Zeitschriften und Sammelwerken, versteckte Buchkapitel und Nachträge zum vorausgegangenen Berichtszeitraum. Der Registerteil bietet vielfältige Suchhilfen nach Namen, Begriffen und Werktiteln. Für die Auseinandersetzung mit Leben und Werk Ernst Jüngers, der sich mittlerweile als Klassiker der Moderne etabliert hat, ist die neue Bibliographie ein unentbehrlicher Kompass.

A sensitive encounter with works of Art Brut, for an aesthetic experience of the multiple forms of the feminine.
Mariage : Catalogue de l'exposition
Robe d'un jour, ou de toute une vie, la robe de mariée est un symbole qui traduit les désirs de l'épousée, les conventions implicites de la société, et l'imagination des couturiers. Parallèlement à l'exposition "Mariage" du musée Galliera, cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire de la robe de mariée et, plus précisément encore, celle de la robe blanche qui s'est, au fil du temps, imposée comme un incontournable stéréotype. Historiens et ethnologues se sont penchés sur l'origine et la signification des atours nuptiaux ; créateurs et photographes ont réinventé - et mis en scène - une tenue qui allie conformisme et fantasme.
