Alexey Brodovitch (1898-1971) is a legend among graphic designers. A Russian who fled the Bolshevik Revolution to settle eventually in Paris and then New York, Brodovitch was one of the pioneers of graphic design in the twentieth century. Brodovitch was Art Director of Harper's Bazaarfor over two decades (1934-58); he designed and produced several exquisite and highly collectable books with collaborators such as Richard Avedon and André Kertész; he was a talented photographer himself; and, through an informal class called the Design Lab in New York, he trained a younger generation of photographers and designers who went on to become famous artists and art directors in their own right. This book is a comprehensive monograph on Brodovitch's life and work, drawing from interviews with a wide spectrum of colleagues and collaborators - and assimilating previously unpublished material from archives and private collections around the world - to offer an in-depth analysis and appreciation of Brodovitch's unique and lasting contribution to the visual arts.

Una galleria di ritratti ripercorre la lunga vita di Gianni Agnelli, personaggio emblematico di un'intera epoca. A cinque anni dalla scomparsa al più grande industriale che il nostro paese abbia avuto, l'italiano più conosciuto e invidiato all'estero, il capo carismatico di una importantissima famiglia imprenditoriale che ha attraversato due secoli di storia senza mai uscire di scena. Modello unico e irripetibile di un'Italia elegante e minoritaria. Grande editore, grande collezionista e amante dell'arte e grande sportivo. Un excursus lungo quasi un secolo attraverso le immagini dell'avvocato "pubblico" e "istituzionale" con le sue passioni per lo sport (Juve, sci, Ferrari e vela), per l'editoria (storico il legame con La Stampa), per la sua Fabbrica e per il suo ruolo politico di senatore a vita.

The stories told with graphics and infographics are now being visualized through photography. Fotoviz shows how these powerful images are depicting correlations, making the invisible visible, and revealing more detail than classic photojournalism. Images are omnipresent in our digital age, but they're worth a closer look. Many of them can tell us stories in new and surprising ways. Fotoviz reveals how infographics and data visualization are currently impacting photography and points to innovative possibilities for the future. Today, data is being visualized through photographic techniques such as long and multiple exposures. Insightful information is being communicated by making a single image out of several different shots or using a 3D perspective. The work featured in Fotoviz, to cite only a few compelling examples, makes invisible Wi-Fi fields visible, allows airport flight activity from a full day to appear as if it were happening at once, and illustrates the average selfietaking behavior of an entire city.
