Jan Groover, Photographer
"This book offers a discovery: for the first time a comprehensive monograph explores the entire oeuvre of photographic artist Jan Groover (1943-2012), whose personal collection was transferred to the Swiss-based Musée de l'Elysée in 2017. Generously illustrated, 'Jan Groover, photographer: laboratory of forms' traces the artist's career from the beginnings in America to her late years in western France. Having started her career as a painter, when she turned to photography in the 1970s she developed a distinct artistic attitude that saw her amalgamate the disciplines of photography and painting. She was especially known for her carefully composed photographic still-lifes. Essays on her life and work, her significance as an artist, alongside a very personal contribution by her husband, French artist and critic Bruce Boice, complement the images."--Back cover.
The Beauty of Lines
Over the course of four decades, Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla have put together a collection of photographs that is widely recognized as among the World's most important private ones. Spanning the entire history of the medium, it lacks hardly any of the names that forged his history. It comprises some of the most famous masterpieces by artists such as Eugène Atget, Robert Adams, Walker Evans, or Robert Mapplethorpe as well as works by contemporary photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, or Thomas Struth.
Slides
"Although the history of photography was built around prints, there were significant developments in slides from the last third of the 19th century, renewing the tradition of magic lanterns. Photographic projection offers a unique field of exploration involving a wide variety of forms, protagonists and places spanning a period of over one hundred and fifty years. Its history tells of the dissemination of knowledge, the quest for color and stereoscopy, the boom in amateur photography, and the medium's integration into the contemporary art scene from the 1960s. Amateurs, professional photographers, publishers, artists, architects and designers have joined forces here to describe the specificities of the slide and show its impact on visual culture."--Page 4 of cover.

Lynne Cohen
Cette première monographie française d'envergure sur l'œuvre de Lynne Cohen parcourt l'intégralité de la carrière d'une figure majeure de la photographie canadienne, depuis ses premières expérimentations, en noir et blanc et en petits formats, du début des années 1970 jusqu'aux commandes monumentales en couleurs des années 2000-2013. Privilégiant une approche neutre et objective du réel, son travail s'est donc attaché, au fil du temps, à des espaces intérieurs où toute présence humaine est a priori absente. L'artiste semble ainsi appliquer à la photographie la méthode expérimentale « en double aveugle » pratiquée en recherche médicale, où le chercheur et le sujet te...
Music - Media - History
This volume considers audiovisual material as a primary source for historiography. By analyzing how the same sounds are used in different media contexts at different times, the contributors challenge the linear perspective of music history based on canonical authority.
