Back in Fashion, Western Fashion From the Middle Ages to Present
Giorgio Riello
Yale University Press, 2020

This engaging volume tells the history of Western fashion, exploring how and why it has influenced people’s attitudes, actions, and beliefs since the Middle Ages. It focuses on themes specific to particular periods—such as the significance of medieval sumptuary laws that limited expenditure on clothing; the use of black in early modern Europe; the role of sports on clothing in contemporary times; and the rise of luxury in the new millennium. Author Giorgio Riello investigates how fashion has shaped and continues to characterize Western societies, impacting the lives of millions of people and their relationship to the economy and politics.

Bacon, En toutes lettres
Sous la direction de Didier Ottinger
Centre Pompidou, 2019

Francis Bacon a aimé les livres. Les quelque mille ouvrages de sa bibliothèque témoignent de sa passion pour la littérature. Cinquante ans après l'exposition du Grand Palais qui le consacrait comme l'un des artistes majeurs de son temps, le Centre Pompidou s'attache aux relations que la peinture de Bacon n'a cessé d'entretenir avec ses auteurs de prédilection. Réinventant le rapport de la peinture au texte, Bacon a traduit ses lectures en images synthétiques et fulgurantes. Ce que son inspiration doit à Eschyle, à T.S. Eliot, à Joseph Conrad, à Friedrich Nietzsche, à Michel Leiris ou à Georges Bataille s'exprime de façon diffuse dans son oeuvre, particulièrement dans les douze triptyques que l'exposition fait dialoguer avec leurs récits fondateurs. Si l'imaginaire de Bacon s'est nourri de la littérature, les écrivains ont, en retour, trouvé dans ses tableaux une matière à réflexion.

Ballet
Arthur Elgort
Steidl, 2020

In this series, the famous photographer pays tribute to his first love, ballet. He focuses more on the backstage than on the stage, as he is interested in the difficult daily work of the dancers. To do so, he photographed the rehearsal spaces of the New York City Ballet and the Vaganova Academy of the Russian Ballet. This book also reproduces numerous portraits, notably unpublished ones of Patrick Dupont, Balanchine, Baryshnokov or Lopatnika.

Ballets Russes
André Tubeuf
Assouline, 2011

The success of the Ballets Russes was legendary, but there is more to the legend than its name: the actual story, the adventure - conceived by one man and lived by a few-that lasted only eight seasons and three summers. From 1911 to 1914, Serge Diaghilev, driven by conviction and stubbornness, turned his vision into reality. He collaborated with Leon Bakst, Igor Stravinsky, and Pablo Picasso (to name a few) to create an explosion of creativity in Western Europe the likes of which had never been seen in the world of art. Thanks to Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the most illustrious page in the history of ballet, one of the most glorious moments in the adventure of art, was written. To turn the pages of this stunning tome is to follow Diaghilev's on his creative quest, one that continues to influence art, theater, ballet, and fashion to this day.

Balthus
Raphaël Bouvier
Hatje Cantz, 2018

Catalogue d'exposition à la Fondation Beyeler (2018)
En 2018, la Fondation Beyeler a consacré une rétrospective majeure au célèbre peintre français d'origine polonaise. Son chef-d'oeuvre monumental, Passage du Commerce-Saint-André, en prêt de longue durée à la Fondation Beyeler, est le point de départ de cette exposition. Cette peinture énigmatique réunit les préoccupations intenses de Balthus pour les dimensions spatiales et temporelles de l'image et leur relation à la figure et à l'objet. Suivant le fil rouge de ces considérations, ce catalogue réunit une cinquantaine de peintures majeures issues de toutes ses périodes. Dans cette perspective sont mises en lumière les stratégies parfois provocatrices de la mise en scène picturale de Balthus mais aussi l'ironie de son art.
