Bøger af Martin Harrison

The third and final book in the Francis Bacon Studies series, published under the aegis of The Estate of Francis Bacon.

Während seiner gesamten Karriere stand Peter Lindbergh dem Haus DIOR auf ganz besondere Weise nahe. Er fotografierte die schillernden Musen des Hauses, darunter Marion Cotillard und Charlize Theron, und realisierte mit seinem unverwechselbaren Stil Kampagnen für die Parfums Lady Dior und J'Adore. Dieses letzte Buch des Fotografen ist das Originaldokument einer außergewöhnlichen Ko-Kreation - und eine Herzensangelegenheit des Künstlers. Siebzig Jahre DIOR-Geschichte und das Brodeln des Times Square in New York: Das war das Konzept hinter Lindberghs in Umfang und Dimension außergewöhnlichem Projekt, für das DIOR in einer ebenso ungewöhnlichen Aktion eine beispiellose Anzahl von kostbaren Couture-Kreationen aus den Tresoren in Paris über den Atlantik schiffte. Das Ergebnis ist elektrisierend. Inmitten des Trubels am Times Square glänzt Alek Wek im makellosen Bar-Kostüm von 1947, jenem berühmten Ensemble, das den frühen Stil des Hauses definierte. Klassische "Lindbergh-Schönheiten" wie Saskia de Brauw, Karen Elson und Amber Valletta bewegen sich durch Menschenmassen und unter Gerüsten hindurch, spiegeln sich in Gebäudefassaden - gekleidet in Haute Couture, die Christian Dior noch von Hand fertigte, bis hin zu neueren Entwürfen von Maria Grazia Chiuri. Ein Spiel der Kontraste, das den Ambitionen dieser Stilübung jederzeit gerecht wird: Peter Lindberghs typisch monochrome, aber auch farbige Fotos heben auf meisterhafte Weise die Silhouetten, Feinheiten und Texturen jedes Kleidungsstücks hervor. Lindbergh selbst ist in dieser Publikation in jeder Hinsicht präsent. Dieser Band enthält 165 bislang unveröffentlichte Bilder, dazu eine Einführung von Martin Harrison, und würdigt Lindberghs langjährige Verbundenheit mit dem Pariser Modehaus DIOR. Dafür stellte er mehr als 100 Fotografien zusammen, von Haute Couture bis zu Herren- und Damenkonfektionen, die ursprünglich in renommierten Zeitschriften wie Vogue oder Harper's Bazaar veröffentlicht wurden. Für die Gestaltung war Lindberghs langjähriger Artdirector und enger Freund Juan Gatti verantwortlich. Eine atemberaubende Hommage an das zeitlose Zusammenwirken von Haute Couture und Fotografie.

The first in-depth publication to uncover the long relationship Francis Bacon enjoyed with France, Monaco and French culture. Martin Harrison, the foremost expert on Bacon, brings a new light to a somewhat unexpected side of the artist's life and work. It was in Paris in 1927, at an exhibition dedicated to Picasso, that Francis Bacon grasped his vocation as a painter. In 1946, he moved to Monaco on the French Riviera where he lived for four years, his time in the Principality marking a turning point in his art; with his "popes" series, he became a painter of the human figure. In Paris he befriended artists and intellectuals, such as Giacometti and Leiris, whilst the city would become the setting for the crystalisation of his reputation in 1971 with the retrospective at the Grand Palais. In 1975, Bacon would take a studio in the Marais district. This bilingual publication--co-published by Albin Michel and The Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation--tells of Bacon's deep ties with France and Monaco, and has been overseen by Martin Harrison, author of Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné.

Addresses important questions about Bacon's painting practice and focuses on his life and work. This title reveals how photography, film, mass-media imagery and other sources informed Bacon's painting and, in particular, how lens-based images helped to trigger the most significant turning-point in his stylistic development.

The Kangaroo Farm first appeared in Australia in 1997 and confirmed Martin Harrison's (1949-2014) reputation as one of Australia's finest poets. His poems of landscape and nature (and above all, Australian nature, in all its weird glory) offer the reader glimpses of an underlying meaning that mere tourism never can offer.

70 years of DIOR history set against the bustle of Times Square: this was Peter Lindbergh's concept, extraordinary both in scope and dimension, for which the House allowed an unprecedented number of its most iconic garments to travel across the Atlantic. In this two-volume compendium, the legendary photographer's final book project, discover...

In the late 1960s, American society entered a period of rapidly accelerating social change

Martin Harrison (1949-2014) prepared and delivered this final manuscript at the end of a prolific creative life. With the vulnerability of a lover, the poet peels back one cover of truth after another; reckless for the evidence of the senses, he sifts light, sound, and smell. Poems like the skin of a world: breathing, walking, touching. Martin Harrison's culminating poetic achievement is a crossing over - stylistically, thematically, emotionally. Mapping the tragic chiasmus of love and death, it finally asserts the transcendent power of poetry to bear witness, to join us in a greater communion. Cosmopolitan and local, these triumphs of a 'late style' remind us what poetry is when its mastery allows the irony of existence to walk naked and to exult. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Poetry]

In the late 1960s, American society entered a period of rapidly accelerating social change

In 1949 Francis Bacon found his subject the human body and from then on it remained his principal theme. But he did not paint from life. This book presents over 200 of the working documents about which Bacon was entirely secretive but which, it emerges, were integral to his creative process.

Presents the iconography of Saul Leiter's early black-andwhite photographs stems from his profound response to the dynamic street life of New York City in the late 1940s and 50s.
