Anziehend und abstoßend zugleich ist Francis Bacons Bildnis seines ersten Lebenspartners Peter Lacy. Das monumentale "Portrait" aus dem Jahr 1962 war lange Zeit vor der Öffentlichkeit verborgen. Kurz nach seiner Entstehung erwarb es der italienische Regisseur Michelangelo Antonioni und es blieb jahrzehntelang in Privatbesitz. Dabei entpuppt es sich als ein Schlüsselwerk, das an einem Wendepunkt entstand. Markus Rath führt erstmals diese Stränge zusammen und bettet das Gemälde in Bacons Bildwelt ein. Der englische Maler bekennt sich darin zu einer biografisch orientierten Gegenständlichkeit, konzentriert sein kompositorisches Schema auf den bühnenartigen Innenraum und forciert den Kontrast zwischen flächigem Grund und farbgesättigter Figur - wegweisende kompositorische Verfahren, die sein Spätwerk entscheidend prägen sollten.

Devotion, understood as pure, all-encompassing love that only wants to give without asking for anything in return, is one of the founding values of Dolce & Gabbana.At Dolce & Gabbana the concept of “devotion” is part of the very idea of work: it is as if something mystical is hidden behind every sketch, embroidery, and stitch. The fashion house’s most iconic bag is intentionally called Devotion precisely to pay homage to this feeling. A strongly sacred component accompanies many of the brand’s sartorial creations, accessories, and jewelry, which draw on the evocations of Sicilian popular culture mixed with a high degree of religiosity. And while the sacred heart, the saints, the Madonna, the rosary, and the cross are some of the most recurrent themes and elements in the collections, processions, funerals, masses, and the figures of bishops, popes, and religious devotees continue to represent a constant source of inspiration. In addition to the advertising campaigns, the most iconic images of the collections, and numerous shots portraying religious holidays in Sicily, the book will be enriched with many photos taken specifically for this publication by important Italian photographers under the direct guidance of Domenico Dolce on the set.

"BEING NAKED CAN BE SO NATURAL!" - STEFAN SOELL As a highly regarded photographer of the erotic, Stefan Soell has published a range of successful titles in the course of his career: "Volcanic Girls", "Alpenglühn" and "Urban Girls". Why is the cover of "Waldlust" so green, you mayask? It's designed to act as a contrast to his wonderfully natural-looking models; their skin and hair colour. "Waldlust"refreshingly and unselfconsciously portrays powerful eroticism both in the woods and on the mountains. As the sexyforest ladies and alpine maidens boldly and provocatively pose for the camera, still largely unknown, mountain boyswatching nearby have to rise, leaving their milking stools behind them.
