No punches are pulled in this fascinating biography that covers the life and work of the prolific artist George Bellows. Having spent most of his adult life in New York City, Bellows left behind an extraordinary body of work that captures life in this dynamic city: bustling street scenes, ringside views of boxing matches, and boys diving and swimming in the East River. Art reproductions and photographs from his youth round out the book.

Georgia O'Keeffe
Camille Viéville
Citadelles & Mazenod, 2021
Née en novembre 1887 dans le Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe étudie à l'Institut d'art de Chicago et à la Ligue des étudiants en art de New York. Figure incontournable du cercle d'Alfred Stieglitz, éminent photographe et galeriste new-yorkais dont elle sera la muse et la compagne, elle est au centre de l'effervescence de l'art américain au début du XXe siècle. Tout au long du siècle, elle dessine en pionnière une voie qui lui est propre, entre figuration et abstraction, modernisme et primitivisme, végétal et minéral, nature et architecture. Ses vues urbaines, ses fleurs, ses paysages hypnotiques - rives sylvestres de Lake George, plaines et canyons du Texas, panoramas désertiques du Nouveau-Mexique ...-, ses squelettes et os d'animaux, souvent en gros plan, forment des motifs récurrents qui s'inscrivent dans un courant biomorphique et subjectif en rupture avec l'abstraction géométrique. À travers cette monographie, Citadelles & Mazenod invite ses lecteurs à célébrer l'originalité et la singularité d'une artiste visionnaire, en présentant un panorama iconographique d'une ampleur sans précédent.

A revelatory new volume on the American modernist's lesser-known works on paper, reuniting many serial works for the first time Recalling a charcoal she made in 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe later wrote, "I have made this drawing several times--never remembering that I had made it before--and not knowing where the idea came from." These drawings, and the majority of O'Keeffe's works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and graphite, belong to series in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. In the formative years of 1915 to 1918, she made as many works on paper as she would in the next 40 years, producing sequences in watercolor of abstract lines, organic landscapes and nudes, along with charcoal drawings she would group according to the designation "specials." While her practice turned increasingly toward canvas in subsequent decades, important series on paper reappeared--including charcoal flowers of the 1930s, portraits of the 1940s and aerial views of the 1950s. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated volume highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter, and reunites individual sheets with their contextual series to illuminate O'Keeffe's persistently sequential practice.

Georgian Jewellery is a celebration of the style and excellence of the eighteenth century, and of the ingenuity that produced such a wealth of fabulous jewellery. Heavy academic tomes have already been written about the period, but this book examines it in a more colourful and accessible way. The book aims to show that Georgian jewellery is not only the stuff of museums and safe boxes, but that it can be worn as elegantly and fashionably today as it was 200 years ago. Much disparate information about the jewellery has been gathered together and the period is brought alive by portraits and character sketches of famous Georgians in their finery, fashion tips, gossip, and some rather outrageous cartoons of the time, as well as fascinating recently discovered facts. With information on how to identify, buy and repair pieces, this sumptuously illustrated volume contains the largest single catalogue of 18th Century jewellery.
