The interior design of this New England seaside escape—by decorating legend Nina Campbell—explores a myriad of themes: the evolution of a home, the importance of place, and the creation of an oasis amid a bustling world.The interiors of this glorious retreat's many buildings are given the Nina Campbell treatment with vibrant palettes, sumptuous fabrics, fine antiques, and a contemporary clarity. Constructed at the turn of the last century, the core of the main house is a simple cottage overlooking a secluded cove. The pioneering couple who built it had no idea that they were creating a legacy that would become central to the lives of future generations of their family, who use the place as a retreat from busy lives in the city.The main house evolved from that summer cottage to a larger Federal-style manse—whose recent reinvention was overseen by New York architects Ferguson & Shamamian—in a landscape with outlets for indoor and outdoor bliss. Campbell is familiar with creating backdrops for entertaining—she had previously designed Annabel’s, the renowned private members’ club in London. With a dedicated party villa, bowling alley, pool house, and tennis pavilion as well as accommodations for family and friends, the property established itself as a place for fun and relaxation. Under the spreading branches of the tree that offered shade to the original house and garden, the place has become an oasis of peace and calm away from the din of the outside world.

Yves Saint Laurent has excellent taste.

Unique in the histories of typography and street fashion, the lettering that is the subject of this book remains without attribution: an iron-on typeface created anonymously and passed down over decades and across subcultures. As more than 300 richly layered illustrations in the book reveal (including previously unseen imagery from personal archives), this particular blackletter typeface, bold and imposing, decorates the fabric of the most influential music and fashion subcultures of the last half-century. With roots dating back to the first calligraphic forms, the letters evolved from embellished military flight jackets and sports uniforms in the early part of the twentieth century to become omnipresent from the 1960s onward in youth movements in New York City. The heat-pressed letters appeared on the shirts of punks, rockers, street gangs, B-Boys, disco dancers, musicians, Hollywood actors, female skipping troops and more, through to the streetwear and catwalks of the last decade. With contributions from insightful voices in the fields of music, fashion, and typography, this book provides a unique thread through the subcultural landscape of the last fifty years, exploring the visual branding of the outsider and the resurgence of analog typography, presented through a layout and design that echo the frenetic history of the letters themselves.

Giorgio de Chirico was one of the most controversial and consequential artists of the twentieth century a key member of the Paris avant-garde, he was a major influence on other artists, especially the nascent surrealists. His repertoire of motifs empty arcades, elongated shadows, mannequins, trains created images of forlorn emptiness that became iconic. Artists inspired by de Chirico's early work include Yves Tanguy, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalâi, and Renâe Magritte. His influence also extended beyond painting and included writers and poets Guillaume Apollinaire, Andrâe Breton, John Ashbery, and Sylvia Plath, filmmakers Jacques Prâevert and Michelangelo Antonioni, and even David Bowie, who admired de Chirico's genderless tailors dummies that inspired his music videos. After the Great War, he turned toward neoclassicism and bitterly fell out with the surrealists and the mainstream modernist movementin the process, becoming an outspoken outsider of the art world.

Beloved Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir left a vibrant legacy that influenced the life and films of his son, the acclaimed director Jean Renoir. The Impressionist paintings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841‒1919) are characterized by portraits and lively episodes from daily life, portrayed in rich color with masterful framing and vibrant light. These joyful scenes, often set outdoors, accompanied and influenced the life and work of his son, filmmaker Jean Renoir (1894‒1979), who Orson Welles described as "the greatest of all directors." This catalogue--along with the traveling exhibition it accompanies--demonstrates the rich and fascinating dialogue between father and son, and retraces chapters of Jean's production through the lens of his father's work. And while Pierre-Auguste Renoir's artistic practice and creative universe influenced Jean's art, Jean's films shed new light on his father's paintings. Focusing on core themes in both artists' works, such as their vision and recreation of Paris, this volume examines Jean's path to becoming a prominent international filmmaker, bringing together paintings, drawings, films, costumes, and photos--as well as the ceramics he made before he turned to cinema. Contributions from the Barnes Foundation--with its collection of 181 works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir along with pottery by Jean Renoir--the Musée d'Orsay, and the Cinémathèque Française provide in-depth insight into this complex, fruitful relationship between painting and cinema. The exhibition opens at the Barnes from May 6‒September 3, 2018 and travels to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris from November 5, 2018‒January 27, 2019.

Previously unpublished photographs and iconic portraits of musicians from the 1950s through the 1980s offer a new perspective on Doisneau's remarkable talent. Master photographer Robert Doisneau's passion for the joyful energy inherent in the music world comes alive in images that cover the musical spectrum, from classical and jazz to be-bop to the roots of modern rap and alternative rock. With camera in hand, Doisneau crisscrossed Paris to capture intimate moments with star musicians such as Eartha Kitt in a jazz club, Django Reinhardt at home, and Yehudi Menuhin backstage, or with locals at a neighborhood dance or jamming in a brass band. His portraits were commissioned for stars from Juliette Gréco to Charles Aznavour to Claude François, and a new generation of musicians in the 1980s including Rita Mitsouko and Les Négresses Vertes. This book--curated by the photographer's granddaughter to accompany an exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris--includes more than one hundred photographs, many previously unpublished, that showcase the artist's mastery in editing, special effects, photomontage, collage, photo distortions, and splits.
