"Historic images from a large private collection of Marblehead memorabilia. An inside look at life in this small seaside town from 1860 through 1992. See people, places, and events that are gone but not forgotten. The images were reproduced from original glass negatives, film negatives, color slides, cards, original photographs and other memorabilia from the private collection. Dan Dixey, the author, owns the private collection and has deep roots in the town. Dan is a direct descendant of Thomas Dixey, the ferryman, that lived and worked in Marblehead beginning in 1636. The family has been part of the town's history since its founding."--

Photographer, creative director, and bestselling author Todd Selby captures the happily chaotic and wildly creative family homes of forty artists, writers, makers, and designers

In his latest series of works, entitled 1000 Odysseen, Winfried Muthesius (b. 1957) uses his photographs to explore the globally divisive topics of refugeeism and displacement. The artist, who lives and works in Berlin and Cape Verde, photographed items washed ashore on the remote beaches of the Cape Verde islands. These disturbingly poetic images for the most part show details of damaged or destroyed flip-flops-the simple footwear of people living in poverty.In the exhibition at the Stiftung Christliche Kunst Wittenberg, Muthesius enters into a dialogue with Oskar Kokoschka's piece Rest on the Flight into Egypt, using this example to evoke humankind's long history of flight and exile.This book features numerous images from the series, with hitherto unpublished drawings by the artist, images of works from his broken gold series, as well as texts by Pia Beckmann, Christhard-Georg Neubert, and an interview with Winfried Muthesius.
