Martin Munkacsi was never at a loss for self-confidence and was proud to be the best-paid photographer of his time. One of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century, Munkacsi shaped the beginnings of modern photojournalism and set into motion the previously static medium of photography. Munkacsi combined journalistic accuracy with a highly formal aesthetic standard, and was an outstanding representative of the Neues Sehen, arguably photographys weightiest contribution to advanced art. He defied convention by incorporating motion, dramatic camera angles and whimsy into his work, creating fashion and sports photography that was groundbreaking and unmatched. Munkacsis work unfortunately did not remain intact: scattered throughout the world, it was to an extent lost. Only the Ullstein Archive in Berlin maintains a fairly extensive collection of his lifes work from his days in Hungary and Germany. This second-edition of Martin Munkacsi combines pictures from all Munkacsis artistic phases w

When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of forty-eight, shewas already a significant influence—even something of alegend—among serious photographers, although only a relativelysmall number of her most important pictures were widely known atthe time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in1972—along with the posthumous retrospective at The Museum ofModern Art—offered the general public its first encounter with thebreadth and power of her achievements. The response wasunprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited anddesigned by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus’s friend andcolleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making thebook was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards bywhich Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which shehoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged as a classic,Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece witheditions in five languages and remains the foundation of herinternat

铁托南斯拉夫共chan主义极简主义狂野世界指南 Spomenik-- Serbo-Croat /斯洛文尼亚语中的纪念碑 - 指的是20世纪60年代至80年代在铁托的南斯拉夫共和国建造的纪念碑，标志着第二次世界大战期间占领的恐怖和轴心国的失败。全国各地都有数百座建筑，从沿海度假胜地到偏远山区。通过这些富有想象力的混凝土和钢铁形式，设想了一个没有种族紧张局势的无阶级，前瞻性的社会主义社会。而不是寻求意识形态一致的苏联的艺术灵感，铁托转向西方和抽象表现主义和极简主义的作品。这使得南斯拉夫能够通过纪念碑发展自己独特的身份，将它们变成政治工具，阐明铁托对新明天的个人愿景。 今天，在该国解体和随后的1990年代南斯拉夫战争之后，一些人被摧毁或被遗弃。许多人遭受了种族紧张局势的后果：一旦被视为希望的象征，他们现在成为怨恨和愤怒的焦点。 本

This book presents photos taken by Roman Signer on a 2005 journey through the Carpathian Mountains, which took him to the Ukraine and Romania. The photos evidence brief stops at the side of the road and present subjects that fall into two distinct categories: home-grown fruits, vegetables and other produce for sale, carefully displayed on stools or small and loving memorials of flowers, crosses and wreaths for deceased family members and friends who were road casualties. The similarity between each composition the landscape format, the colourful centred arrangement, the consistent distance between photographer and subject belies a deeper message: the produce suggests sustenance, growth and while the memorials are signs of tragedy and grief. Karpaten / Carpathians is thus not only a collection of travel photos, but a reflection of the human need to shape events, and a succinct story of life and death both realities along the metaphorical road on which we all travel. Born in 1938 in Appenzell, Switzerl
