LA GUERRA Y LA MUSICA

Esta ambiciosa obra es una revisión fundamental de la música clásica compuesta en el siglo XX. Su autor afirma que fueron las tres grandes guerras que tuvieron lugar en él las que conformaron su historia. Desde esta perspectiva, Mauceri indaga en los motivos por los que se han añadido tan escasas obras al canon musical desde 1930, examinando las diferentes trayectorias de los grandes compositores que, tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, desarrollaron una voz tan única como versátil, pero con una vocación más popular. Asimismo, defiende que el destino de los compositores durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial estuvo inextricablemente unido a los propósitos políticos de sus respectivos gobiernos. Ello derivó en acontecimientos tan significativos como la desaparición de la música experimental en Alemania, Italia y Rusia; el éxodo de numerosos compositores a Estados Unidos y la repentina recuperación de la música experimental lo que Mauceri llama «la vanguardia institucional», entendida como la lengua franca de la música clásica occidental durante la Guerra Fría.

LA OTRA HISTORIA DEL CINE

Con su zafarrancho de trenes, lunas tuertas y tartas voladoras, el cine llegó como principal testigo de un escandaloso, emocionante y terrible cambio de mundo: el paso del siglo XIX al XX, tiempo de juventud y hartazgo, de entusiasmo y profunda desesperanza. Entre esos telones, este nuevo invento terminaría por convertirse en el más compartido lenguaje de narración, embeleso y manipulación; una herramienta imprescindible con la que documentar y fabricar esa época distinta a todas las demás, en la que la historia empezó a avanzar cada vez más rápido, sin casi un minuto ya para pensar en sí misma ni recoger sus cosas. Por supuesto, nada de eso sucedió en silencio. Este libro recoge, desde sus orígenes hasta nuestros días, la historia de la música del cine: una relación simbiótica y fascinante que transformó y enriqueció por igual a estas dos disciplinas artísticas en su camino compartido hacia la modernidad.

LONDON LIVING TOWN AND COUNTRY

Following the success of his first book, New York Interiors, Simon Upton turns to London—a city in which he has been based for most of his working life. Exploring an incredible range of homes in this vibrant city, Upton looks behind the scenes into the private spaces of creatives and influencers. Presented in two parts, the book begins with “Town,” which is devoted to the homes of those who live solely in London, such as grandee of interior design John Stefanidis; House & Garden’s Interior Designer of the Year 2019, Maria Speake; industrial designer and architect Tom Bartlett; fashion designer Bella Freud; model Poppy Delevingne; and antiques dealer and interior designer Adam Bray. Then, “Country” showcases those who divide their time between London and a retreat in the British countryside, which includes names such as antiques dealers Jorge Perez-Martin and David Gibson, known together as Brownrigg; film director Gaby Dellal; and designer Jasper Conran. Edited by interior design writer Karen Howes and featuring a foreword by iconic decorator and Upton’s friend Nicky Haslam, London Living reveals a series of unique locations, each illuminated by an interview in which the owner defines their true meaning of “home.”

LOS 80. HISTORIA DE UNA DECADA

La década de los 80 fue una época de exploración audaz, creatividad deslumbrante, inspiración colectiva y un desafío en casi todos los aspectos de la sociedad: tecnología, medios de comunicación, roles de género, racismo, sexualidad, geopolítica, clima y cultura. Este libro es una historia visual de los años 80 a través de sus momentos más importantes: del breakdance a Wall Street, de la cultura gay emergente a las consolas de videojuegos, de los trajes de Armani a la lucha contra el apartheid, pasando por momentos en la memoria de todos: la caída del muro de Berlín, el concierto Live Aid, el primer episodio de Los Simpson, la Perestroika soviética o la revolución de Almodóvar y de la Movida madrileña.

Grandes estrellas, nuevas maneras de crear, estilos diversos: del grunge al hiphop, del suntuoso rythm and blues al disonante ska, de Britney Spears a Radiohead, de las Spice Girls a Sinéad O'Connor o de Blur a Nirvana. Mezclando los ritmos como si nos lanzase a una enorme pista de baile, en Los 90 en 90 canciones (o más) el periodista musical Rob Harvilla revisita los empalagosos, pegadizos e icónicos hits de la generación X, en un relato que combina la solidez narrativa y el análisis agudo a un ritmo vertiginoso.

LOUIS VUITTON. EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGES

The mid-19th and early 20th centuries heralded new means of transport and equipment and, with them, new and original ways of exploring the world. Transatlantic liners, automobiles, long-haul airplanes, zeppelins, and express trains unfurled new horizons and changed travel itself into an adventure. Distant lands were no longer solely accessible to aristocrats, explorers, and adventurers. Instead, the world opened up to new groups of people eager to circumvent the globe. And for many of these new globetrotters, traveling was synonymous with Louis Vuitton, the French label whose iconic and functional luggage trunks could be found on nearly every boat, plane, car, and train around the world. In this beautiful book, author Francisca Mattéoli recounts 50 tales of thrilling travel undertaken in every possible mode of transit, from the hot air balloon to the space shuttle, each lavishly illustrated with more than 300 historical photographs and ephemera from Louis Vuitton’s official archives. Louis Vuitton: Extraordinary Voyages is a journey all its own—an evocative and transporting account of the most surprising and transformative trips taken since the 19th century.

LUNCHEONS ON THE GRASS

Thirty-five contemporary artists create their own version of Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. Édouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe (1863) is generally cited as the first modern painting. The entry slide in art history lectures about modernism, the work remains among the “most audacious painting[s] ever seen in France,” as Ross King described it in The Judgement of Paris (2006). As Manet did with Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, the most provocative painters today collapse the historical and the contemporary onto one plane. Jeffrey Deitch invited a group of these influential artists to create their own versions, combined here with historical responses to Manet’s painting. The slim volume features these often biting and satirical works alongside essays discussing Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe’s enduring influence on contemporary figurative painting.

LUZ Y SOMBRAS

Presentamos íntegras por primera vez las anotaciones del diario del gran cronista Victor Klemperer sobre sus experiencias cinematográficas en los inicios de la era del cine sonoro. Desde el principio, el cinefilo es testigo de cómo la innovación tecnica se abre paso en la Alemania de 1929, y aunque inicialmente fue crítico con las películas sonoras, pronto cayó rendido ante las posibilidades de este nuevo formato. No era raro que viera varios filmes por semana. Sin embargo, los nacionalsocialistas se fueron apoderando del medio, y Klemperer acabará por quedar excluido de las salas de cine cuando en 1938 se prohíbe la entrada a los 'no arios'. Afortunadamente, ni siquiera eso pudo mantenerlo alejado de su gran pasión. Obligado a una existencia en la sombra, Klemperer experimentó momentos de luz ante la gran pantalla: 'Tanta música, humor, arte interpretativo y todo.

MANET (BASIC ART EDITION) (INT)

Lampooned during his lifetime for his style as much as his subject matter, French painter Édouard Manet (1832–1883) is now considered a crucial figure in the history of art, bridging the transition from Realism to Impressionism. Manet’s work combined a painterly technique with strikingly modern images of contemporary life, centered on the urban Paris experience. He recorded the city’s parks, bars, and cabarets, often delighting in the frisson of underground or provocative content. The Paris salon rejected his Déjeuner sur l’herbe with its juxtaposition of fully dressed men and a nude woman, while the steady gaze and unabashed pose of the prostitute Olympia, a very modern reworking of Titian’s Venus of Urbino, caused a society scandal.

Growing up, she developed an appreciation for harmonizing diverse styles, placing a modern stainless steel island by an old dining area, an African dresser next to an Eames chair. Schestowitz is not a follower of design guidelines; she believes in an intuitive harmony of space, color, and light. The spaces she creates are infused with travel collectibles, art acquisitions, family pieces, and historical patterns. The rich palettes and bold patterns create spaces that feel naturally inviting and intimate, a result of her long-standing exploration of Mediterranean style.

Italian-born Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475–1564) was a tormented, prodigiously talented, and God-fearing Renaissance man. His manifold achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, and engineering combined body, spirit, and God into visionary masterpieces that changed art history forever. Famed biographer Giorgio Vasari considered him the pinnacle of Renaissance achievement. His peers called him simply “Il Divino” (“the divine one”).This book provides the essential introduction to Michelangelo with all the awe-inspiring masterpieces and none of the queues and crowds. With vivid illustration and accessible texts, we explore the artist’s extraordinary figuration and celebrated style of terribilità (momentous grandeur), which allowed human and biblical drama to exist in compelling scale and fervor.

Un inventario imprescindible de la moda: 78 prendas esenciales del vestuario contemporáneo, 60 creaciones icónicas y 22 estilos emblemáticos. * Vestirse no es un gesto anodino. Las prendas que vestimos, segunda piel aceptada o no, nos relacionan con el mundo. Nos protegen, nos embellecen, nos serenan. Cuentan quiénes somos y nos transforman o nos camuflan. * Nuestros vestidos dibujan nuestros paisajes íntimos, pero también relatan nuestra historia social, política, cultural y económica. Eso es la moda. Un fenómeno. Una industria. Una norma. Una autoridad. Pero hemos olvidado su historia. La moda es así de ambivalente: es efímera y duradera a un tiempo. Algunas prendas trascienden su época; otras, nacidas en pasarelas y casas de alta costura, son mitos inalterables que narran el imaginario de sus creadores y expresan sueños y mandamientos.

This modest homespun charm held great appeal to such style makers as Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Bunny Mellon, and interior designer Billy Baldwin.

New York City, arguably the world’s Art Deco capital, is well known for its striking and still iconic towers that were early expressions of the style writ large most famously the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, both of which still speak so eloquently of the future and the machine age that continues to move us all forward. Art Deco is drawn in steel, in tile, in brass, in bronze, and in stone upon great buildings and small and in the details, as so engagingly shown here. The reader is brought, for example, into the extraordinary Fred F. French Building at 551 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, a treasure house of the form whose ornate lobby is a wonder of sparkling seduction in all directions: racing above is a fan palm and fleur de lis decorated architrave, and golden Assyrian equestrian archers on a field of onyx take aim while stunning chandeliers set with crystal feathers and bronze shoot out their own thin arrows of illumination.

PATRIMONIO ABANDONADO

Los vestigios de Abjasia, un país que no existe, una fábrica abandonada transformada en decorados para Hollywood, la Línea Verde de Chipre, la ciudad fantasma que dejó la catástrofe de Chernóbil, un cine modernista en Bruselas, insólitas fortificaciones del siglo XVIII en Italia, la ciudad de Tskaltubo y sus “aguas de la inmortalidad”, una de las termas más antiguas de Rumanía… Roman Robroek es un fotógrafo del sur de los Países Bajos fascinado por la arquitectura urbana. Sus espectaculares fotografías de lugares olvidados en el mundo entero han ganado múltiples premios. ¿Cuál es la historia de estos edificios? ¿Quiénes vivían en ellos? ¿Para qué servían esos objetos y por qué los abandonaron? Su insaciable curiosidad por estos temas le llevó a ser fotógrafo urbano. Patrimonio abandonado es el resultado de diez años explorando lugares fantasmales en busca de respuestas.

PELICULERO

Un viaje emocional por el cine y la televisión que han definido a toda una generación Hace menos de tres años parecía que el cine estaba muerto, que nadie volvería nunca a las salas, que las grandes estrellas no existían y que solo las películas de superhéroes eran viables económicamente. Y entonces llegó Barbie. Este es un recorrido personal tan personal que es casi universal por la historia más reciente del cine, y en particular del cine palomitero, ese cine comercial, orgulloso de serlo, que ha moldeado nuestro imaginario colectivo. Un mundo de dinosaurios, naves galácticas, agentes secretos y sirenas que Alberto empezó viendo primero desde el sofá de casa para poco a poco adentrarse en él profesionalmente. El libro se inmiscuye en rodajes de series y películas, en junkets de prensa, fiestas y premios que, junto a las mismas películas que luego vemos en la sala, configuran un universo que mezcla ficción y realidad y del que ningún peliculero podrá escapar nunca.

Berggruen’s collection with more than one hundred masterpieces is a spectacular tribute to the foresight of this major player in the Paris art market during the second half of the twentieth century. Born into a Jewish family in Berlin in 1914, he went into exile in California on the eve of World War II. He became art critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and assistant to the director of the San Francisco MoMA. After the war, Berggruen returned to Europe, first to Munich as a journalist, then to Paris where he worked at the UNESCO headquarters before becoming an art dealer specialized in the graphic arts of modern artists. He quickly established contacts within the Parisian cultural scene, meeting both the artists he would represent and the poets, dealers, historians, critics, and collectors of the day. Guided by his personal tastes, he built a solid collection of twentieth-century works now housed at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin spanning the careers of Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee and including Henri Matisse’s collages and Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures. The vast ensemble was exhibited at the Orangerie in 2024 and is housed in the Berggruen Museum/Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin.

POOLSIDE WITH SLIM AARONS

Poolside with Slim Aarons offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. Yet this collection of stunning photographs of the rich and well-connected “doing attractive things” in their favorite playgrounds has a twist: The main character is pools, and everything that goes with them. Pools bring with them images of magnificent, suntanned bodies; well-oiled skin; bikini-clad women; yachts; summer cocktails; sumptuous buffets; spectacular locations; and most of all: fun. Poolside is not so much a who’s who of society, aristocracy, and celebrity—although C. Z. Guest, Lilly Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard, and many who have appeared in Slim's previous books are here—as it is about leisure time and how the rich make use of it. This is a more intimate peek into very private lives, to which photographer Slim Aarons was given unprecedented access in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. This coffee table book is perfect for sharing, displaying, and gifting.

POR QUE BEETHOVEN?

Si Beethoven nunca hubiese existido, habitaríamos un universo musical radicalmente distinto. Pero ¿quién era realmente este titán de la cultura mundial? A través de un centenar de breves capítulos, cada uno dedicado a alguna de sus obras clave, Norman Lebrecht traza un retrato poliédrico que nos muestra al compositor como nunca lo habíamos visto. Ingobernable, ofensivo y desesperado durante la mayor parte de su vida, sí; pero también sensible y completamente entregado a su arte, capaz de sobreponerse a la sordera para componer algunas de las obras cumbre de nuestra cultura. Por el camino, nos encontramos con los grandes músicos que a lo largo de la historia han asumido el reto que Beethoven legó a la posteridad, en todas sus glorias y debilidades. En el centro del mosaico que dibuja esta biografía reveladora y única, Beethoven emerge como piedra angular del mundo moderno.

Richard Mishaan is renowned for his masterly integration of textiles, palettes rich in complementary shades, natural materials forged by artisans, surfaces bedecked with talismanic curios, a strategic sense of when and where to place a mirror, and a deep knowledge of both the fine and decorative arts. His many influences, including his upbringing in Colombia, coupled with his idiosyncratic perspective, explain why his sophisticated clientele return repeatedly as their lives evolve. In Richard Mishaan Design, his working methods are revealed in projects as varied as the conversion of a 400-year-old barn in the Hamptons into a warm, inviting family home and the transformation of an ultra-modern, glass-walled New York City apartment into a comfortable yet sophisticated aerie. Here too are show houses, which he uses as experimental laboratories, working out such diverse design ideas as updating legendary designer Renzo Mongiardino’s aesthetic and achieving a chic look on a tight budget. He has also designed rooms in bespoke hotels, ranging from the Rat Pack–influenced Shelborne South Beach in Miami to the Tcherassi, a renovated 250-year-old mansion in Cartagena, Colombia.

(192 m) high Gateway Arch of St. Louis, Missouri, each of them defining structures of postwar America. Catenary curves were present in many of his structural designs. During his long association with Knoll, Saarinen’s other famous furniture pieces included the “Grasshopper” lounge chair and the “Womb” settee.

A thorough exploration of Salvatore Ferragamo’s life and work: an inescapable opportunity to analyze the importance of his creativity and entrepreneurial instinct. One hundred years have passed since Salvatore Ferragamo opened his first store, the Hollywood Boot Shop, opposite the recently built Grauman’s Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. This set the seal on the success he achieved in America, where he had emigrated in 1915. He was perfectly integrated in the film world of those years, as important directors entrusted him with the design and creation of shoes for the film stars. His customers were movie actresses and actors, producers, and directors, who could no longer do without the elegant and comfortable footwear of the “shoemaker to the stars,” as the young man from Irpinia was nicknamed. Furthermore, his persona had a certain standing in Hollywood: he sat on the city’s executive committees and lived on the same street as Charlie Chaplin. On May 4, 1923, Holly Leaves magazine pointed out just how much Ferragamo was doing for the city and its residents.

With new photographs of houses steeped in the period revival tradition, from 1838 to today, not since Rizzoli’s Santa Barbara Style (2001) has a book so eloquently captured the distinctive splendor of this seaside paradise. Known worldwide for the Santa Barbara style, the town epitomizes a type of building at once elegant and suffused with poetry. At its heart is the historic downtown, featuring white-washed Mediterranean-style stucco buildings with tile roofs and the iconic Santa Barbara Mission of 1786, whose austere beauty set the tone for all that followed. From its earliest days, the influence of this place has been felt and has since radiated across the sunbelt; it continues to be a model of emulation and inspiration. But it is the houses and the dream of living in Santa Barbara and its sister communities of Ojai, Carpinteria, Summerland, Goleta, and Montecito that casts the most profound spell.

How do you make your home come alive with personality, charm, and memory?

Contending that a vignette can set the whole mood and tone of a room, he shows you how to use any surface in your home, from a tabletop to a bookshelf to a wall, to create lively displays of your favorite items. Beautifully illustrated with Scherer’s own photographs, the book demonstrates how to balance color, texture, and shape, and provides lessons on how to create both symmetrical and asymmetrical vignettes.

SIMETRIAS. LOS 5 ACTOS DE JOHN FORD

De una incomparable familiaridad con el legado clásico y moderno del cine, del estudio exhaustivo de sus películas y de los rasgos de estilo de sus cineastas, nace el Paulino Viota teórico, ese sabio que ha plantado en artículos, libros, conferencias y cursos la fructífera semilla de su apasionamiento, marcando a varias generaciones de cinéfilos mediante la finura del análisis, la argumentación audaz y la iluminación arrebatadora. Fue, como bien se ha dicho, la opción elegida para seguir siendo creativo, para hacer cine de otra manera, cuando su carrera de cineasta se vio desgraciadamente truncada. En "Simetrías. Los cinco actos en las películas de John Ford", catorce títulos del director de Fort Apache o The Searchers son desmenuzados para hacer comparecer a su cineasta-constructor, demiurgo tras las apariencias que apuntala la narración y gestiona su memoria esa guía afectiva del espectador atento a partir de cinco actos, unidades de sentido de raigambre mítica relacionadas entre sí por simetrías y correspondencias que explican la pregnancia del cine fordiano. Así, Paulino Viota, con una clarividencia que se impone a la hybris, nos faculta a comprender y sentir la parte sumergida que sustenta la punta visible de ese imponente iceberg llamado John Ford; y mientras, el lector, en justa proporción, celebra el trabajo minucioso y callado, la tramoya de diagramas y esquemas que el analista ha ido desarrollando durante años para poder arribar a sus emocionantes conclusiones, aquí donadas con la generosidad que todos conocemos y admiramos en él.

This collectible volume features luscious early black-and-white fashion photography, as well as color portraits of the fashionable elite—like Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson—and those that designed the clothes, such as Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Mary McFadden, and Lilly Pulitzer. ​Featuring a number of never-before-seen images and detailed captions written by fashion historians, Slim Aarons: Style is a collection of the photographer’s most stylish work. Slim Aarons, at least according to the man himself, did not photograph fashion: “I didn’t do fashion. I did the people in their clothes that became the fashion.” But despite what he claimed, Aarons’s work is indelibly tied to fashion. Aarons’s incredibly influential photographs of high society and socialites being unambiguously themselves are still a source of inspiration for modern day style icons.

SOSTENER LA NOTA

Desde el debut de Leonard Cohen, cuando su miedo escenico le impedía terminar "Suzanne", hasta la icónica caída del abrigo de visón de ArethaFranklin en el Kennedy Center mientras Barack y Michelle Obama aplaudían efusivamente.

THE ALPS 1900 (XL) (INT)

Nothing compares to the Alps” wrote the great French historian Jules Michelet in 1868. At the very heart of Europe, the gigantic Alpine mountain range includes some of the most grandiose natural sites in the world, such as Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau, the Matterhorn, and their glaciers. Tourism began in the late 1800s and grew tremendously over the next centuries, especially with the rise of winter sports. This book offers a charming tour of a bygone era, when the first mountain trains and cog railways were carrying men in lederhosen and women in long dresses to the foot of the glacier, when local guides accompanied tourists riding on mules; a time when the first alpinists were considered mad, and skiers were a curiosity.

THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF. FRANK FRAZETTA.

Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for 50 years, his fame only growing in the years since his death. With his paintings now breaking auction records (Egyptian Queen sold for $ 5.4 million in 2019) he’s long overdue for this ultimate monograph.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. He claimed to only make art when there was nothing better to do – he preferred playing baseball - yet began his professional career in comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics, then to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Both characters were interpreted by many before him, but as he explained in the 1970s, “I’m very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him,” and he used this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As counterbalance he created a new breed of women, nude as censorship allowed, with pixie faces and multiparous bodies: thick thighed, heavy buttocked, breasts cantilevered out to there, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. Add in the action, the creatures, the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips.

THE MODERN GARDEN

The treasures of mid-century American architecture have long been celebrated. Less appreciated has been the landscape design that provides the framing for these masterworks. But more than frame, landscape architecture is an art worthy of the spotlight, particularly at mid-century, when the notion that “gardens are outdoor spaces for people to live in” was championed and brought to the fore; now gardens and landscapes are not just external attributes to the house but a continuation of it and its living spaces in a relationship of symbiosis, with its pools and terraces, its winding lawns, and its partly enclosed room-like spaces flanked by brick or stone or plantings in a range of colors and forms.
