La extraordinaria carrera del fotógrafo de la Revolución. Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, para todos Korda, es internacionalmente reconocido como uno de los maestros de la fotografía cubana de la Revolución, cuyas imagenes del Che Guevara y Fidel Castro inspieraron a generaciones de jovenes a lo largo de los años sesenta y setenta. Su fotografia mas famosa es, sin duda, el retrato del Che tomado en 1960 y titulado Guerrillero Heroico, que sin duda se ha convertido en la imagen mas reproducida de la historia de la fotografia.Alberto Korda: Conocido Desconocido es un libro que recorre todas las facetas de la extraordinario carrera de Korda, con especial enfasis en la moda, la Revolucion y otros temas de la sociedad cubana. Desde los primeros trabajos publicitarios a inicio de la decada de los cincuenta, seguimos la entrada de Korda en el mundo de la moda y su pasion por lo que el definio como "una estetica de la belleza", que percibio no solo en las sensuales curvas femeninas, sino ademas en el particular paisaje cubano y en el esplendor de los revolucionarios cubanos.

Uncensored and provocative shots of models and artists A decade after his sizzling debut A Private View, Sante D'Orazio returns with a second volume of photo-diary-scrapbook, covering 1997 to 2008. Uncensored and provocative, D'Orazio's shots are mounted in collage-style entries framed with candid, handwritten observations. All-night parties and day-long photo sessions provide the light and shade of D'Orazio's jetset lifestylecelebrities, models, musicians, actors and artists all feature, in various states of dress and undress. Included here are Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Diane Kruger, Tricia Helfer, Stephanie Seymour, Liz Hurley, Jay-Z, Mickey Rourke, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Pam Anderson, Keith Richards, Axl Rose, Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel and many more. Informal images contrast with posed shots, color with black and white, and outtakes are shown along published photos from the likes of Playboy and Interview. With a keen eye, this New York-based photographer creates a dynamic tableau of moods and styles. Access to this demi-monde is rare; capturing its essence in words and pictures, rarer still. Sante D'Orazio succeeds on both counts. About the photographer: Sante D'Orazio (b. 1956) is an internationally renowned photographer whose advertising campaign clients include Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria's Secret, Revlon, and L'Oreal, and whose editorial fashion shoots have featured in Vogue, Esquire, Town & Country, Max, Interview and Vanity Fair.

In the persona of Andre S. Solidor, veteran photographer Elliott Erwitt plunges deeply into the kookier excesses of contemporary photography. Connotation, denotation, relevance, Andre S. Solidor's best masterpiece to date features an exuberantly eclectic selection of topics--smoking fish heads, pneumatic mannequins in inconguous poses, not to mention some up-close and personal shots of Solidor himself. Plus for all you postmodernist groupies out these, there's context and commentary galore. Did we mention the gratuitous nudity?

The ninth edition of C International Photo Magazine explores the role of women in photography. There is no 'photography made by women' that can be stylistically distinguished from 'photography made by men'. But even as photography cannot be defined by gender, women are a timeless and recurring motif and their role and representation are the subject of much debate.

Monográfico a Vixikio Vietitez. Virxilio sólo trabajó por encargo y fotografió solamente aquello que le iban a pagar; no sabía si su próximo sujeto sería un campesino con su carro de bueyes o una pareja de recien casados, o una madre con su criatura muerta.

No pain, no gain The most memorable moments since the birth of pro football in America The best of sports photographer Neil Leifer''s 10,000 rolls of football pictures, including hundreds of previously unpublished images. Presented in a custom slipcase and limited to a total of 1,500 copies signed by the photographer, this XL edition is a companion to Neil Leifers instant sell-out success, Ballet in the Dirt: The Golden Age of Baseball, published by TASCHEN in 2007. In 1958, sports photographer Neil Leifer took the picture that remains one of his most famous to this day. The day he got the shot - Alan Ameches game-winning "Sudden Death" touchdown - was Leifers 16th birthday. This game, called "The Greatest Ever Played," signaled footballs emergence as Americas new national pastime; formerly half-empty stadiums welcomed sold-out crowds seemingly overnight, while football surpassed pro baseball and college football in national television ratings. Starting then, on any given Sunday Leifer was most likely shooting a football game somewhere in America. His 1961 photo of legendary Giants quarterback Y.A. Tittle dropping back to pass landed Leifer his first cover for Sports Illustrated and cemented his close connection to the sport. While best known for his iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali towering over a fallen Sonny Liston, and for the enormous diversity of subjects he covered in and out of the sports world, it is his football pictures Leifer considers his best. This collection represents the best of his best, culled from over 10,000 rolls of film on the sport, including hundreds of previously unpublished pictures. Its impossible to conceive of Peyton Manning hovering over an impromptu wood fire on the sidelines during a blizzard, but Leifer captured Tittles Giants doing exactly that during the coldest game in his living memory (the 1962 Championship in New York, a game "far colder than the famous Ice Bowl"). From Vince Lombardis Green Bay Packers dynasty to the Miami Dolphins perfect season in 1972 to the Minnesota Vikings terrifying Front Four - the "Purple People Eaters" - theyre all here. Following an introduction assembled from the best football columns of the era by famed sports columnist Jim Murray

This collection from Cellina von Mannstein finds the beauty in flawed and funky situations. Her freewheeling images celebrate decadent excess as well as the aesthetics of disorder and confusion. Before taking up fine art and fashion photography, von Mannstein worked in film. Her compositions hold your attention and are compellingly real. For her, telling a story a not just creating an image a is what it''s all about. These original works have the atmosphere of dark fairytales with dream-like juxtapositions and hints of seediness.

Circa XX, la colección particular de Pilar Citoler, es una de las más importantes colecciones privadas de arte contemporáneo internacional existentes en España. Destaca entre sus fondos la obra original sobre papel, nunca expuesta en su totalidad y que ahora se presenta parcialmente en este catalogo. Asi, en este catalogo se dan cita toda clase de bocetos, dibujos, acuarelas, pasteles, collages y obra grafica, conforme al deseo de subrayar la importancia que tiene el papel en el origen de la obra de un artista: es en el, muchas veces, donde se plasma la idea primera del creador, el germen de lo que luego seran mundos mas complejos y elaborados. El papel, en fin, lejos de ser el soporte de un arte menor, ha generado una produccion artistica de vigor y pertinencia extraordinarios. En conjunto, se reunen en este volumen mas de trescientas cincuenta obras que incluyen trabajos de artistas centrales como Emil Nolde, Picasso, Julio Gonzalez, Benjamin Palencia, Le Corbusier , Joan Miro, Jose Caballero, Man Ray, Grete Stern, Henri Michaux, Miquel Barcelo, Jasper Johns, Antoni Tapies, Antonio Saura, Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder, Pablo Palazuelo, Elena Asins, Eduardo Chillida y Robert Rauschenberg, entre un largo etcetera, sin olvidar varios libros de artista que dan cuenta de la fascinacion de sus autores por el libro-objeto y su voluntad de dialogo con poetas y escritores.

In this book the artist discusses her process, touching on technical and aesthetic issues, illustrated, of course, by her stunning pictures.

La posición de Agustín Jiménez frente a las cosas, su deslizamiento en el espacio, como la foto en sí que los muestra a él y a sus alumnos, es un acto revelador: se suprimen en tornos para redimensionar los objetos, muy al contrario de meter todo el caos de ese mundo inmediato. En actos asi, los objetos adquiriran una inusitada dimension, tan grandiosa como terrible, tan sencilla pero tan poderosa. Y eso se convertira en una nueva forma de abstraccion. Una innovadora manera de mirar.
