Laure Albin Guillot, un "nom sonore qui devait devenir fameux", peut-on lire au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le paysage photographique français de l'époque est en effet singulièrement marqué par la signature et par l'aura de cette artiste qui, de son vivant, fut certainement la plus exposée et la plus reconnue. Si la photographie de Laure Albin Guillot (1879-1962) est incontestablement l'une des plus en vogue des années 1930 et 1940. elle reste aujourd'hui une énigme. Car, paradoxalement, peu d'études ont été consacrées à l'oeuvre et à la carrière de cette artiste pourtant emblématique. Photographe indépendante, elle réalise portraits, nus, paysages et natures mortes. ainsi que de nombreuses illustrations et créations publicitaires. Elle est l'une des premières en France à envisager l'application décorative de la photographie avec ses" micrographies. Consciente des enjeux photographiques et culturels de son époque, elle apparaît comme une figure institutionnelle omniprésente. de la Société française de photographie à la Cinémathèque nationale. Ce catalogue présente un ensemble conséquent de cent épreuves et de livres originaux, de magazines et documents d'époque issus du fonds Laure Albin Guillot conservé dans les collections Roger-Viollet, ainsi que de collections particulières et publiques.

Charlotte Perriand et la photographie, l'oeil en éventail

Au cours des années 1930, parallèlement à ses activités d'architecte, de designer, d'urbaniste et de militante, la photographie occupe une place importante dans sa création. L'aventure photographique débute en 1927 et se clôt au Japon en 1940. Se déployant tout au long de la période pionnière, quand se développe la modernité, elle s'éteint sur l'espoir d'un monde meilleur anéanti par la seconde guerre mondiale. La photographie est pour Charlotte Perriand le " laboratoire secret " de ses recherches plastiques et philosophiques : c'est une " machine " à penser. Son oeuvre photographique, qui exprime les principaux thèmes et les interrogations des modernes des années 1930, s'inscrit dans le vaste mouvement des avant-gardes où peintres, architectes et photographes, parfois confondus, travaillent côte à côte dans une communauté d'esprit, où chaque expression s'enrichit du regard de l'autre.

Carol Bove: Collage Sculptures
Catherine Craft
Thames & Hudson, 2022
ISBN 9781644230671
Catherine Craft
Thames & Hudson, 2022
Carol Bove: Collage Sculptures presents an extensive look into the contemporary artist's work over the past five years and her ongoing exploration of scale, color, material, and artistic traditions of the twentieth century.
Bove's recent work engages the conceptual concerns of mid-century sculpture, such as spontaneity, industrial materials, and the potential of painted sculpture. However, within this space of familiar sculptural traditions, Bove has discovered new approaches that lead to places previously unknown. Bove's "collage sculptures" are created from scrap metal and stainless steel that has been carefully worked into sinuous forms and are frequently painted. Considering the hard rigidity of the steel, the works possess an appearance of almost impossible softness, as if steel could become as pliable as clay. Such works range from small pedestal sculptures to large, imposing compositions. Bove's interest in scale and how a viewer's understanding of an artwork shifts depending on its context are explored through a selection of small works from the collection of the Nasher Sculpture Center.

Dora Maar

Dora Maar (born Henriette Théodora Markovitch, 1907–1997) was active at the height of Surrealism in France. She was recognized as a key member of the movement and maintained professional relationships with many of its prominent figures, such as André Breton, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Man Ray. However, her standing as the one-time muse and mistress of Pablo Picasso—his famous “Weeping Woman”— has long eclipsed her creative output and minimized her influence. Richly illustrated with 240 key works showcasing Maar’s inimitable acumen as a photographer, this book examines the full arc of her career for the very first time. Subjects include her innovative commercial and fashion photography, approach to the nude and eroticism, engagement with political groups, interest in socially concerned photography, affiliation with the Surrealist movement, and hitherto unknown work from her reclusive late career, providing a dynamic and multifaceted examination of an important artist.
This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the Centre Pompidou Paris, France June 5 to July 29, 2019; the Tate Modern London, United Kingdom November 19, 2019, to March 15, 2020; and the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center April 21 to July 26, 2020.

The Empress and I: How an Ancient Empire Collected, Rejected and Rediscovered Modern Art
Donna Stein
Skira, 2021
In the 1970s, American curator Donna Stein served as the art advisor to Empress Farah Diba Pahlavi, the Shahbanu of Iran. Together, Stein and Pahlavi generated an art market in Iran, as Stein encouraged Pahlavi’s patronage of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. Today, the contemporary section of the Iranian National Collection―most of which continues to languish in storage―is considered one of the most significant collections of modern art outside of Europe and the United States.
The Empress and I is a vivid account of Stein’s experience at the helm of this storied intercultural initiative. In crafting her highly readable narrative, Stein cites a number of previously confidential documents, including private correspondence with artists and dealers. This text explores the relationship between two women united by their shared passion for the arts and the continued legacy of their partnership in today’s art world.
