NOVEDADES

Born in Berlin in 1920, Helmut Newton trained as a teenager with legendary photographer Yva, following her lead into the enticing pastures of fashion, portraiture and nudes. Forced to flee the Nazis aged only 18, Newton never left Berlin behind. After his career exploded in Paris in the 1960s, he returned regularly to shoot for magazines like Constanze, Adam, Vogue, Condé Nast's Traveler, ZEITmagazin, Männer Vogue, Max and the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin as well as his own magazine Helmut Newton’s Illustrated.

Early astronomers, drawn to Mars's fiery glow in the night sky, named the planet after their god of war. In the centuries since, Mars has captivated humankind as a source of endless speculation and a beacon of hope for its potential habitability. Through six decades of NASA’s pioneering research missions, the mysteries of the red planet have been gradually uncovered, revealing a world not so unlike our own that likely once supported life.

In 1965, Steve Schapiro started documenting Andy Warhol for LIFE magazine: Warhol was cementing a reputation as an important Pop artist who drew his inspiration from popular culture and commercial objects. With his sunglasses, blond wig, and bland public utterances, Warhol was enigmatic, charismatic, intensely ambitious, and aware that to become a star, you needed the presence of people to document your ascent. Schapiro, also ambitious and hardworking, who in his own words “kept quiet and smiled a lot,” was an ideal witness to Warhol’s relentless rise from cult New York artist to 20th-century icon. Ironically, LIFE never published the story, so many of these images are seen here for the first time, scanned from negatives found deep in Schapiro’s archive.

Mito legendario y proteico, el vampiro ha acompañado al ser humano desde tiempos inmemoriales, al acecho como anunciación de la otredad, los miedos reprimidos y la voracidad de nuestros traumas, o formando parte indisociable de nuestra esencia como plasmación de la mitad oscura e ilustración de la dualidad que nos constituye y materializa nuestros anhelos e instintos más inconfesables. La presente antología traza la evolución del vampiro en lengua inglesa desde sus manifestaciones en textos medievales, con semas y modus operandi que anticipan las características primordiales del chupasangres en siglos posteriores, hasta la eclosión manifiesta del ente en el periodo decimonónico, con la canonización de los vampiros de Polidori, Byron, Le Fanu, y, sobre todo, la obra seminal de Bram Stoker, desembocando en la idiosincrasia ecléctica o la reinterpretación vanguardista y alejada de los presupuestos clásicos y puristas que dinamizan la variedad y estilización del mito en la primera mitad del siglo xx, como génesis de las drásticas transformaciones que se darían, posteriormente, en la posmodernidad, metamorfoseándose el vampiro en un icono adolescente o una suerte de zombi descerebrado y despojado de su aura aterradora.
