Hannelore Fischer
Hirmer, 2022
This sentence, as topical today as it was almost one hundred years ago, is the creed of a great artist. Käthe Kollwitz achieved worldwide respect with her drawings, printed graphics, and sculptures even during her lifetime.
With her great cycles of graphic works Ein Weberaufstand (A Weaver’s Revolt) and Bauernkrieg (The Peasants’ War), Kollwitz demonstrated her remarkable skills as a graphic artist at an early age. From the start of her career, her etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts were included in the collections of renowned art institutes. Her fame as an artist grew steadily and she eventually became the first woman appointed professor by the Prussian Academy of Arts in 1919.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, this monograph offers an extensive overview of the life and work of one of the most important German artists of Classic Modernism.

Remembered words
Roni Horn
Steidl, 2022
ISBN: 9783869309965
Roni Horn
Steidl, 2022
“Remembered Words” is the title of a series of watercolor paintings Roni Horn created in 2013 and 2014. An important part of Horn’s work revolves around language. In this series she remembers words and pairs them with dots, adding the words to the dots like footnotes or captions, creating a kind of personal, even autobiographical dictionary. The combination of the dots—which are sometimes properly arranged in color-coordinated rows, on other drawings random and overlapping, wild and out of control—with the words creates unexpected relations and meanings, endless strings of associations, absurd and beautiful at the same time.

Femmes d'art - De Berthe Morisot à nos jours, ces femmes qui font l'histoire de l'art
Marie-Stéphanie Servos
Leduc Editions, 2021
Quel meilleur endroit pour découvrir des femmes artistes que le musée ? Cependant, en se promenant dans les allées de nos grands musées, on découvre que leurs noms sont très peu présents au bas des cartels qui accompagnent les oeuvres. Absentes en tant que créatrices, elles sont pourtant si présentes en tant que sujets, la plupart du temps nues. Les femmes n'ont-elles jamais créé ? N'ont-elles jamais été suffisamment talentueuses pour être retenues par l'histoire ? Evidemment, non.
Les femmes ont tout simplement longtemps été invisibilisées. Heureusement, en l'espace de dix ans, et sous l'impulsion des femmes de tous horizons – commissaires d'expositions, galeristes, critiques, collectionneuses... —, les lignes bougent, permettant aux femmes de prendre enfin toute la place qu'elles méritent. Ce livre a vocation à mettre en lumière le travail de femmes artistes d'hier et d'aujourd'hui.
Des portraits de celles qui ont ouvert la voie (Berthe Morisot, Louise Bourgeois, Georgia O'Keffe , Niki de Saint Phalle...), des conversations avec celles qui créent (Agnès Thurnauer, Prune Nourry, Inès Longevial, Joanna Vasconcelos...) et celles — actrices du monde de l'art — qui les soutiennent.

Emotions
Sabine Weiss
Editions de la Martinière, 2020
ISBN: 9782732495897
Sabine Weiss
Editions de la Martinière, 2020
Oeil témoin de son temps et dernière représentante de l'école humaniste, Sabine Weiss, en plus de son travail de photographe de mode, de publicité, de reportage, aime arpenter les rues et se laisser surprendre par les scènes fugitives du quotidien. Au gré des villes traversées, des pays parcourus et des rencontres, elle a fixé le hasard d'un mouvement, d'une expression, en s'attachant à celles et ceux que l'on regarde peu : enfants, clochards, vieillards, gitans...
Ses photographies, qui oscillent entre naturalisme et poésie, sont toujours réalisées avec un grand sens du cadrage, de la composition et de la lumière. Sabine Weiss, née en 1924, revient ici sur son travail en noir et blanc en sélectionnant dans ses archives 200 photographies, iconiques ou plus rares, où l'émotion affleure. L'émotion saisie par son objectif. L'émotion qu'elle ressent face à ces instants pris au vol.
Des images qui traduisent sa curiosité de l'autre, son profond amour de la vie et qui attestent d'un travail tout entier dédié à dire la condition humaine.

Imagining landscapes: Paintings by Helen Frankenthaler, 1952-1976
Robert Slifkin
Gagosian, Rizzoli, 2021
Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011) has long been recognized as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. A member of the second generation of postwar American abstract painters, she is widely credited with expanding the possibilities of abstraction through her invention of the soak-stain technique, while at times referencing figuration and landscape in highly personal ways.
This volume explores references to landscape in Frankenthaler’s paintings over a period spanning more than two decades, beginning in 1952, just prior to her breakthrough to stain painting. Focusing on fourteen works, it examines an extraordinary variety of gesture, from linear drawing to areas of lush, stained color and flatter, more opaque applications of paint. An essay by art historian Robert Slifkin considers the complex evocations of space in Frankenthaler’s works of this period. Richly illustrated with full-color plates, details, and documentary photographs, Imagining Landscapes offers a close and detailed look at the artist’s approach to painting over this twenty-five-year period.
