Berlin, a haunting vision of the twentieth centurys first modern city, is a cultural history filled with 400 shockingly fresh and romantic photographs, paintings, and other images. In the brief years between the twentieth centurys two cataclysmic world wars, the modern metropolis was invented in Berlin. Life in Berlin was a cabaret, and Marlene Dietrich, Thomas Mann, Alfred Einstein, or Joseph Goebbels might be seated at the next table. The avant-garde thrived there. The mass media magnified the impact of everything from fads to political ideas. Subcultures and club cultures nurtured gender-bending fashions and lifestyles. Architects and designers struggled to free themselves from the past. In the background beat the new rhythms of urban experience: the coming and going of the latest planes and trains and automobiles, the clacking of typewriters in vast offices, the jazz band that never sleeps. Berlin: The Twenties is a book for history buffs, travelers, and lovers of modern art and design.

This revised and updated edition presents the future and origins of his painting according to André Butzer. From his early works of "science-fiction expressionism" to his exploration of abstraction's far limits in seemingly black paintings, Butzer emerges as an ever-inventive colorist who finds a new beginning in each work.

In a fleeting fourteen year period, sandwiched between two world wars, Germany's Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideals for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology to be applied across painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textiles, ceramics, theatre, and installation. As much an intense personal community as a publicly minded collective, the Bauhaus was first founded by Walter Gropius (1883-1969), and counted Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta St lzl, Marianne Brandt and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe among its members. Between its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, the school fostered charismatic and creative exchange between teachers and students, all varied in their artistic styles and preferences, but united in their idealism and their interest in a "total" work of art across different practices and media. This book celebrates the adventurous innovation of the Bauhaus movement, both as a trailblazer in the development of modernism, and as a paradigm of art education, where an all-encompassing freedom of creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to functional and beautiful creations.

Un tributo a uno dei fotografi più influenti, intriganti e controversi del XX secolo. Il SUMO è stato un libro titanico sotto tutti gli aspetti: ha infranto ogni record quanto a peso, dimensioni e valore di mercato Helmut Newton (1920-2004) ha sempre dimostrato un sano disprezzo per le soluzioni facili o prevedibili. Il SUMO - un'audace avventura editoriale senza precedenti - era un progetto irresistibile. L'idea di una raccolta spettacolare di immagini, un libro con le proporzioni di un'esposizione privata, riprodotta su pagine di dimensioni eccezionali e con standard di stampa all'avanguardia, è nata nel corso di una conversazione aperta e conoscitiva tra fotografo e editore. Con l'imponenza fisica del SUMO, che arrivava a pesare - con scatola e cellophane - 35,4 chilogrammi, Newton ha creato una pietra miliare che spiccava nettamente su qualsiasi altra cosa tentata in precedenza, sia in termini di stravaganza concettuale che di specifiche tecniche. Pubblicato in una tiratura limitata di 10.000 copie firmate e numerate, il SUMO è andato esaurito quasi subito dopo la pubblicazione e ha visto moltiplicare rapidamente il suo valore. Questo fenomeno editoriale è ora parte di importanti collezioni in tutto il mondo, inclusa quella del Museum of Modern Art di New York. La leggendaria copia n.1 del SUMO, autografata da oltre 100 delle celebrità fotografate al suo interno, ha stabilito anche il record del libro più costoso pubblicato nel XX secolo, battuto a un'asta a Berlino il 6 aprile 2000 per 620.000 marchi, circa 317.000 ?. Il SUMO ha stabilito nuovi parametri nel settore della monografia artistica, conquistandosi un posto di tutto rispetto nella storia dei libri di fotografia. Questa nuova edizione, attentamente rivista da June Newton, realizza un'ambizione di Helmut Newton nata alcuni anni fa. A lui avrebbe certamente fatto piacere che il SUMO - ora in un formato che permette una distribuzione più democratica, un decennio dopo la sua prima pubblicazione - raggiungesse un pubblico il più vasto possibile. In ogni caso, gli orgogliosi proprietari della nuova edizione non dovranno lottare con la loro copia del libro, che è dotata di un leggio unico per esporlo a casa propria.
