L'ippocampo

Chi non ha mai visto la Grande Onda, smisurata, schiumante, minacciosa, lanciare le potenti spire all'assalto di quegli umili, vulnerabili pescatori? Pochi sanno però che questa stampa, emblematica dell'arte giapponese, appartiene alla serie delle Trentasei vedute del monte Fuji, pubblicata negli anni 1830 e responsabile del rinnovamento dell'ukiyo-e. Artista trascinante e audace, Hokusai (1760-1849) vi introduce infatti uno stile del tutto originale attingendo sia alle tradizionali tecniche giapponesi e cinesi sia alla prospettiva occidentale per creare paesaggi insoliti di incredibile bellezza. Buddista e shintoista fervente, il Maestro inneggia con toni vibranti alla natura e al monte Fuji, montagna sacra che ritrae immersa in luci e atmosfere cangianti, senza tuttavia mai dimenticare gli uomini, raffigurati spesso in primo piano in scene di vita quotidiana.

Jean Paul Goude
Thames and Hudson

Celebrates a major retrospective of the designer's work at the Musée des ArtsDécoratifs in Paris. Jean-Paul Goude is one of the world's most brilliant and unorthodox image makers. This book assembles the biggest collection of his work ever seen: sketches, paintings, magazine spreads, storyboards, art-directed and elaborately staged photography, and photographic documentation (as well as preliminary sketches) for stage and street shows. From his New York days with Esquire to his latest work for Galéries Lafayette in Paris, Goude has consistently surprised, provoked, and delighted those who have encountered his work. He was Grace Jones's Pygmalion, creating unforgettable images of her, from andryogyne to cyber-superwoman to supreme diva. One of advertising's most sought after stars, Goude masterminded memorable campaigns for Chanel, Perrier, and Kodak, among others. Around 500 images, including many working documents, are on show here, from inspired doodles to final images. Selected and arranged by Goude himself, they present a gallery of artworks that have redefined advertising and brand photography as we know them. The book includes contributions by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Edgar Morin, Eric Troncy, George Lois, and Jérôme Sans.
