The dramatic events of the troubled life of Caravaggio, one of the most formidable painters in the art history of all time, are retraced in this book, published in Italian on the occasion of the 450 years of his birth, documented in Milan in 1571, and updated in this edition in light of the latest discoveries. The book delves into the most significant circumstances that shattered the brief and surprising path of the professional life of the great Lombard genius in just fourteen years: from his arrival in Rome in 1596 to his tragic and still mysterious death in Porto Ercole in 1610, when Caravaggio had not turned thirty-nine yet. A gripping story exerting an irresistible attraction on us, perhaps equal to the one emanated by the artist’s masterpieces, in which his most intimate essence shines through. His exceptional works, characterized by a merciless representation of reality underlined by violent contrasts between shadow and light, and by a revolutionary way of painting, are here rigorously analyzed, for the first time on a large scale, not only from the historical and stylistic point of view, but also from the technical one. A methodology that has become one of the essential components for the full understanding of the Caravaggio phenomenon in recent years. It is for this reason that the historical-artistic entries of his extraordinary autographed works are accompanied by specific technical-diagnostic notes that for the first time complete and integrate in this book the reading of his paintings.
To a friend who asked for her advice about what to give the woman he loved, Mademoiselle Chanel answered without hesitation: “I know women, women adore chains, give her a chain and she will adore you.”
Adored by kings and queens, a symbol of the manufacture of ancient civilizations and the countercultures of the young, a constant inspiration for artists, stylists and designers, the chain is one of the most loved jewellery items in the history of costume. With an authoritative critical essay and awesome selection of photographs, this book traces the symbolic and aesthetic evolution of chain from early history to modern day and its intersections with art, fashion, design, craftmanship and new technologies. A fascinating and skilfully illustrated journey that shows how extraordinary jewellery, able to link the past to the future in the name of creativity, beauty and innovation, can be generated from such a simple functional element.
The definitive monograph on the acclaimed German artist Neo Rauch, one of the most influential figurative painters working today
Neo Rauch is one of the world’s most successful and popular contemporary artists. A leading force of the Leipzig School, the group of artists that emerged from East Germany in the early 1990s after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Rauch quickly established himself internationally through his large canvases featuring a crossover between Surrealism and popular imagery.
Characterized by a bright acidic palette, Rauch’s ambiguous landscapes are populated by spatially connected, alienated figures conjuring a mysterious atmosphere of distorted nostalgia and failed Utopia. This career-spanning monograph was made in close collaboration with the artist, showcasing Rauch’s work alongside essays and texts that illuminate his work and career.

Śmiały i zaskakujący formą oraz rozbudowany w sferze treści barokowy ołtarz główny w kościele parafialnym pw. św. Erazma i św. Pankracego w Jeleniej Górze przyciąga uwagę widzów od pierwszego spojrzenia. Jest najcenniejszym zabytkiem kościoła miejskiego, a także swoistym theatrum sacrum, który porusza każdego, kto odwiedza jeleniogórską świątynię.
Artur Kolbiarz i Andrzej Kozieł opisują dzieło wyjątkowe, jeden z nielicznych barokowych ołtarzy, które zachowały się do naszych czasów w niemalże pierwotnym stanie. Wykonany przez znakomitych artystów: urodzonego w Oslo rzeźbiarza Thomasa Weissfeldta i głogowskiego malarza Johanna Philippa Kretschmera, ucznia Michaela Willmanna, jest wybitnym przykładem barokowej sztuki na Śląsku oraz świadectwem politycznej i religijnej rzeczywistości, która przyczyniła się do jego powstania. Znakomicie wpisuje się w ówczesną rywalizację między konfesją katolicką i luterańską.
Monografia szczegółowo przybliża historię powstania ołtarza, sylwetki jego twórców, genezę artystycznej formy i architektonicznej konstrukcji, a także analizuje program ideowy zakodowany w malarskich i rzeźbiarskich przedstawieniach. Całość dopełnia ponad sto ilustracji ukazujących niezwykłe piękno tej monumentalnej realizacji, która — dzięki pracom konserwatorskim — odzyskuje dziś dawny blask.
This elegant volume is a portrait gallery of 50 eminent legends spanning jazz history, from Jelly Roll Morton, perhaps the inventor of the art form, to contemporary axman Joe Lovano, who contributes a foreword.
Arguably America’s most profound cultural contribution, jazz has evolved for over a hundred years since its birth in the ethnic gumbo of New Orleans at the dawn of the 20th century. Like a mighty river, it has wended its way over time through geography, style, and mood, forming numerous tributaries along the way. In this reissue, each figure is featured in handsome vintage photographs and a pithy, revealing biography.
W kolejnym tomie z serii 20 Lat XX Wieku zaprezentowane jest polskie wzornictwo czasów międzywojnia. Odbudowa kraju, tworzenie struktur państwowych, a także dynamicznie zachodzące zmiany społeczne i technologiczne wymagały zastosowania efektywnych i ekonomicznych rozwiązań. Książka autorstwa profesor Irmy Koziny, znawczyni polskiego wzornictwa, pokazuje, jak polscy projektanci odpowiedzieli na bieżące wyzwania, w jakich dziedzinach były realizowane ich projekty i które z nich mają wpływ na współczesne projektowanie przedmiotów użytkowych.
Arriving in Paris from Ravenna in 1973, Paolo Roversi produced his first series of photographs in 1977, which were immediately picked up by the fashion press. From then on, he devoted himself to fashion photography, working for the greatest designers and for the most prestigious magazines, simultaneously occupying a position both at the heart of the fashion world and far from its ephemeral trends.
Ultimately in search of pure beauty, he formulates timeless and mysterious work, which is defined by his choice of studio and use of large format and Polaroid cameras. At the heart of his photography are his dedicated relationships with fashion designers and models, most famously with Yohji Yamamoto, as well as Romeo Gigli, Rei Kawakubo and Dior, and these fruitful collaborations have allowed Roversi to continuously challenge and renew his practice.
Conceived and designed in close collaboration with the photographer, and drawing on his archives, this book features many original prints, including some that have never been seen before. Spanning the entirety of Roversi’s career, it explores his approach to his creative space and the way he treats it like a theatre stage, constantly reinventing it to suit each new collaboration.
With her music and boundless passion for life, Tina Turner enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Peter Lindbergh was a lifelong friend of the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and shot intimate portraits of her over many years.
Lindbergh’s photographs do more than just document her iconic status; they reveal the powerful, joyful, and at times introverted woman behind the public persona. Through his lens, Peter Lindbergh captured Tina Turner’s radiant energy with an incredible sensitivity and his impeccable understanding of dramatic composition. His work shows Tina in all her complexity, blending her fierce spirit with quieter, more reflective moments.
Across numerous settings―from the stage to the beach, from the streets to the iconic Eiffel Tower, with the city of Paris sprawling beneath her―Peter portrayed Tina throughout the years, always capturing the real Tina. His photos depict her singing, dancing, and simply being herself, effortlessly showcasing the depth of her character. Each image tells a story, a testament to her vitality and complexity, both on stage and in life. In each of these portraits, Tina is immediately recognizable.
The book, which includes a personal foreword by Tina Turner’s husband Erwin Bach, is a heartfelt tribute to the friendship and deep connection between two artists who shaped the cultural landscape of the 20th century. It’s more than a collection of photographs; it’s a celebration of a shared journey of creativity, trust, and mutual respect.
“We were partners in crime,” remembers Tina. “He was willing to try anything―and so was I! Together, we made magic!” The magic they made together lives on in Peter Lindbergh’s photographs. This book―a collection of images created during their long professional collaboration and enduring friendship―tells their special story.
