Will Eisner. The Centennial Celebration, 1917-2017 - Based on Exhibitions at Le Musée de la Bande dessinée and The Society of illustrators, Edition bilingue français-anglais

L'INFLUENCE DURABLE de Will Eisner (1917-2005) en art séquentiel n'est pas exagérée - il est connu pour être le Champion du Roman Graphique. Sa narration novatrice, ses dessins artistiques de la BD de presse Le Spirit (1940-1952) ont inspiré une génération d'illustrateurs, et son intérêt pour une série de romans graphiques plébiscitée, qui a commencé en 1978 avec Un Pacte avec Dieu, a contribué à lancer ce format. Parmi les distinctions accordées à Eisner, on compte le prix Reuben, le Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award, le prix Yellow Kid, et plgieurs prix Harvey et Eisner, ce dernier nommé en son honneur. Ce catalogue d'exposition comprend plus de 175 pages d'ceuvres originales, sélectionnées d'après les incontournables expositions de Will Eisner The Centennial Celebration en 2017 au Musée de la Bande Dessinée à Angoulême et à la Society of Illustrators à New York. Présenté à la fois en anglais et en français avec des essais de l'ami et éditeur de longue date d'Eisner, Denis Kitchen, de l'auteur et historien de la BD Paul Gravett, et de l'éditeur et designer John Lind. Introduction de Jean-Pierre Mercier (conseiller scientifique, la Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image).

Luigi Pericle : A Rediscovery

This important book presents the work of the fascinating and singular artist Luigi Pericle (1916-2001). Pericle was a painter, illustrator and scholar, as well as a leading figure in the story of art in the second half of the twentieth century. The artist initially found fame as an illustrator, gaining widespread renown in the 1950s as the inventor of the character Max the Marmot. But his intense, enigmatic and multi-layered paintings increasingly drew the attention of the art world, with works that reflect his personal, metaphysical take on post-war abstraction exhibited at numerous venues in Britain during the 1960s. Pericle then abruptly retreated from the art system, and for the rest of his life continued to paint, write and to study esoteric philosophy in the secluded house he shared with his wife Orsolina on Monte Verit in the Ticino region of Switzerland. The artist's work was dramatically rediscovered in 2016 when the contents of his former residence were revealed. The process of restoring, cataloguing and researching his vast oeuvre is ongoing, and is overseen by Ascona's Archivio Luigi Pericle, with which the exhibition has been organised. This beautifully illustrated publication, which accompanies an exhibition at the Estorick Collection, London, includes a full catalogue of the works, as well as essays by noted scholars.

Quentin Blake and the Demoiselles des Bords de Seine

Quentin Blake is one of the best-known illustrators of our time. He was Roald Dahl's regular illustrator, and their books have enjoyed world popularity with generations of children. Blake has collaborated with many other well-known authors and also created his own picture-books such as Clown and Zagazoo. Quentin Blake was born in England in 1932. For more than 20 years he taught in and then led the illustration department of the Royal College of Art. In 1999 he became the first Children's Laureate and in 2005 was appointed CBE for his services to children's literature. In France, where he spends a great deal of his time and where he has been published by Gallimard for the past 30 years, Quentin Blake has the same huge reputation as in Great Britain. His work has been exhibited there, and he has produced several books especially for French readers. In 2002 he was made a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. It was on account of this reputation that he was invited by the Petit Palais to select and present the exhibition Quentin Blake et les Demoiselles des Bords de Seine, and in the exhibition and this book he displays his enthusiasm for 19th century French art with a perceptiveness and liveliness which will speak to readers of all ages.

L'Esprit de Will Eisner. Edition bilingue français-anglais

Will Eisner est l'un des auteurs les plus influents de la bande dessinée américaine. Le 6 juin 1940, il crée 'The Spirit', une série publiée sous forme de feuillets insérés dans les journaux du dimanche, dans laquelle il joue avec les codes de la bande dessinée. En 1978, il publie 'A Contract with God', l'un des premiers romans graphiques, le premier à avoir un véritable impact. Will Eisner a passé toute sa vie à enseigner et théoriser sa discipline. Ce catalogue, bilingue, accompagne la très belle exposition du Musée Thomas Henry de Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (28/05/2021 - 29/08/2021). Il a été pensé comme un comic book monumental , et pour cause, il s'approche de la taille des planches originales reproduites à l'intérieur.

Hilma af Klint. The Five Notebook 1

In 1896, Hilma af Klint and four other like-minded women artists left the Edelweiss Society and founded the "Friday Group", also known as "The Five". They met every Friday for spiritual meetings, including prayers, studies of the New Testament, meditation and séances. The medium exercised automatic writing and mediumistic drawing. Eventually they established contact with spiritual beings whom they called "The High Ones". In 1896, the five women began taking meticulous notes of the mediumistic messages conveyed by the spirits. In time, Hilma af Klint felt she had been selected for more important messages. After ten years of esoteric training with "The Five", aged 43, Hilma af Klint accepted a major assignment, the execution of The Paintings for the Temple. This commission, which engaged the artist from 1906 to 1915, changed the course of her life. In 1908, Rudolf Steiner, leader of the German Theosophical Society, held several lectures in Stockholm. He also visited af Klint's studio and saw some of the early Paintings for the Temple. In 1913, Steiner founded the Anthroposophical Society, which af Klint joined in 1920 and remained a member for the rest of her life.

Ancient Bronzes

This beautiful publication presents a collection of exquisite ancient bronzes from the Wadsworth Atheneum that were collected by John Pierpont Morgan. It accompanies aspecial exhibition of the bronzes at Bowdoin College. This fully illustrated catalogue presents highlights of the ancient bronzes that were collected by J. Pierpont Morgan and are currently in the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum. Purchased between 1904 and 1916, the bronzes were given to the museum by Morgan's son in 1917. Morgan was a passionate collector and spent years of his life acquiring exquisite works of art. He had a discerning eye and discriminating taste, and his driving motivation was to find works of quality and beauty. His Greek and Roman bronzes include a range of figure and vessel types : males and females, gods and mortals, humans and animals and hybrid mythological creatures, free-standing statuettes, and furniture embellishments. This is the first exhibition and publication to consider the bronzes as a group. Morgan chose each work of art for its exquisite craftsmanship, its quality of composition and execution, and its preservation. These objects represent the very best of ancient Mediterranean bronze sculpture, with carefully rendered clothing, hair, and fur, and adorned with inlays of silver and other luxury materials. Showcasing different types of objects and figures that were made in bronze in the ancient world, this exhibition and book demonstrate the high level of quality that these works of art could achieve. The bronzes are important not only for their provenance and place in America's 'Gilded Age', but also as highly significant individual works of art that represent the best of ancient bronzeworking. New high-resolution photography of each work of art will allow readers to appreciate their intricate details of craftsmanship, including copper and silver inlay. This focused publication will also present current research on these exceptional objects to help readers better understand how they were made and what they represented in an ancient context.
