Vogue gathers a stylish collection of at-home, intimate portraits photographed by today's fashion icons, designers, models, and artists, each documenting their creative lives under lockdown. Vogue: Postcards from Home is a beautiful and unforgettable collection of self-rendered images from a bevy of celebrities, photographers, filmmakers, actors, creative directors, performance artists, fashion designers, and models. Kendall Jenner, Virgil Abloh, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Karen Elson, Florence Pugh, Maurizio Cattelan, Billy Porter, Donatella Versace, Gisele Bündchen, Cindy Sherman, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Kim Kardashian West are among those who share a glimpse of their lives under lockdown. From singer Lizzo meditating at home, to actress Florence Pugh honing her cooking skills, to Miuccia Prada contemplating Prada's next collection in her garden--these snapshots reflect a moment in history when the world turned upside down but creativity flourished. This unique record of a moment is a must-have for devotees of fashion, art, culture, and photography, and reaches across a readership of all ages. A portion of the proceeds will go to A Common Thread, Vogue's new fundraising initiative to provide assistance to the fashion industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Roy Lichtenstein: History in the Making, 1948-1960 is the first major museum exhibition to investigate the early work of one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century. Co-organized by Colby College Museum of Art and Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, the exhibition will include approximately ninety works from the artist's fruitful and formative early career, many never before seen by the public. The show and accompanying catalog will include paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints which reveal an artist, even in the earliest stages of his career, with a keen interest in visual culture, culling--with a critical eye--from a wide range of sources. These inspirations were the essential but little-known precursors to the artist's later sourcing of comic books and advertisements. Likewise, his exploration of abstraction, just before the artist's abrupt turn to Pop Art in 1961, straddles the line between unabashed lyricism and wry critique of second-generation Abstract Expressionism. The catalog, with new scholarship by leading experts in the field, provides a new understanding of Lichtenstein's influential techniques of appropriation and offers the opportunity to more fully assess the artistic and cultural dynamism of postwar America.

Un pájaro monstruoso que devora a los pecadores, cuerpos desnudos contorsionándose en posturas tántricas, un par de orejas blandiendo la hoja de un cuchillo: con tan solo 20 pinturas y 9 dibujos a su nombre, el visionario holandés Hieronymus Bosch (aprox. 1450-1516) se ha asegurado su lugar como pilar en la historia del arte. A día de hoy, el pintor por excelencia del infierno y sus demonios continúa sorprendiendo y cautivando a expertos en pintura, artistas, diseñadores y músicos por igual. Esta monografía a gran escala, basada en la exitosa edición XXL para la que TASCHEN encargó nuevas y exclusivas fotografías de detalles y de las obras recientemente restauradas, presenta la obra completa del Bosco. Los textos de Stefan Fischer, historiador del arte y experto en su obra, analizan los numerosos elementos cautivadores que pueblan cada escena, desde los seres híbridos mitad hombre y mitad animal hasta el uso pictórico de refranes y modismos propio del artista. Este libro, que ofrece una exhaustiva panorámica de su inaprensible obra, revela por qué el Bosco y su pintura han sido inmensamente influyentes.Incluye: Reproducciones impecables a toda página que ensalzan el asombroso potencial compositivo del artista Detalles ampliados que desvelan las escenas más intrincadas e inquietantes, así como los pormenores técnicos más insospechados, desde las pinceladas sutiles al grano del lienzo Un desplegable del legendario El juicio final Un capítulo especial centrado en la obra más célebre del Bosco, el hipnotizante tríptico de El jardín de las delicias
