Tom of Finland - The Complete Kake Comics

by Dian Hanson; Illustration: Tom Of Finland

~~25,00€~~ 22,50€ 10% OFF

 Mustaches and muscles Back to the days when men were men and sex was carefree In 1965, Tom of Finland began flirting with the idea of an ongoing character for his panel stories, the ultimate Tom’s Man. He tried out a blond named Vicky—a common male name in Finland—followed by a Tarzan-inspired Jack. Then in 1968 Tom settled on Kake, a dark-haired, mustached leatherman who often wore a tight white T-shirt bearing the motto Fucker. Kake lived up to this moniker, a sort of post-Stonewall, hyper-masculine Johnny Appleseed traveling the world on his motorcycle to spread the seeds of liberated, mutually satisfying, ecstatically explicit gay sex. Tom lived out many of his most personal fantasies through Kake, and Kake’s international fans made him the template for what came to be known as the gay clone look of the 1970s. Between 1968 and 1986, Tom published 26 episodes of Kake adventures, most as 20-page booklets. Tom of Finland - The Complete Kake Comics collects all of these stories in one volume. Return with Kake to the days when men were men, sex was carefree, and everyone wore a big thick mustache.

 Cette sélection de vinyles électrisants donne une nouvelle définition, plus subversive, de l'art de la pochette. Produite en collaboration avec le magazine Colors, elle réunit plus de 500 albums qui ont fait date, tirés des collections d'Alessandro Benedetti et Peter Bastine et du Wende Museum de Los Angeles. Le livre se place à la jonction entre photo, musique et design. Il célèbre le vinyle pour l'intégrité du son qu'il produit et pour son potentiel artistique en tant qu'objet. Vous y retrouverez des artistes comme Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi et découvrirez les détails les plus pertinents de leur identité visuelle, qu'il s'agisse d'une couleur vive ou d'un effet miroir futuriste. Les albums sont classés par thèmes: vinyles monochromes, vinyles insolites (en argent, en or, en miroir ou de rarissimes phosphorescents), vinyles multicolores, vinyles gravés (où la musique n'est pressée que sur une face), shape-discs (d'une forme autre que ronde) et picture-discs (dont la surface est illustrée d'une photo ou d'un dessin). Cet album d'albums présente aussi des raretés qu'on appelle aujourd'hui les ribs, ou de la bone music. Produits en URSS, où la musique et la culture occidentales étaient proscrites, ces disques sur os étaient gravés sur des radios médicales au moyen de machines spéciales pour diffuser des titres à succès d'artistes comme David Bowie et Pink Floyd. Page après page, cette encyclopédie kaléidoscopique du vinyle novateur et ingénieux suit aussi le parcours original de disques et d'artistes qui ont défini leur époque.

Risomania ; Risographe, Miméographe Et Autres Duplicopieurs

by Collectif

32,54€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 Alors que les techniques d’impression numérique paraissent de plus en plus indispensables, de nombreux créateurs font le choix de revenir à des techniques plus traditionnelles, qu’ils remettent au goût du jour. Ainsi, au même titre que la sérigraphie il y a quelques années, la risographie fait un retour fracassant sur la scène créative mondiale. Cet ouvrage est une plongée dans l’univers de la «riso» et des techniques proches. Rappelant d’abord l’historique des techniques basées sur le pochoir et le duplicata, les auteurs font ensuite un focus sur la risographie et la miméographie. Les auteurs présentent les principaux studios de création utilisant actuellement ces techniques, de Londres à Tokyo en passant par Chicago et Paris. Ils mettent en avant des créateurs et des réalisations hors du commun tout au long d’une véritable galerie artistique. Enfin, ils guident pas à pas les lecteurs dans les étapes précédant l’impression (choix du papier, des couleurs, etc.) et leur livrent des conseils. A la fois livre d’inspiration, manuel technique et état des lieux d’un phénomène montant, Risomania est le premier titre français consacré au sujet !

Mathieu Matégot - Du Design à la Tapisserie

by Patrick Favardin

79,50€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 De Mathieu Matégot, qui fut l'un des designers les plus connus des années 50, le public ne connaît généralement que quelques meubles emblématiques, fruit de son travail sur la tôle perforée ou le rotin : la chaise Nagasaki, le porte-revue Javaou encore le fauteuil Férotin... Cet artiste d'origine hongroise, créateur, entrepreneur et décorateur, a pourtant fait preuve d'une grande productivité pendant près de quarante ans, jouant avec la matière, la forme et la couleur aussi bien dans ses créations de meubles, de 1945 à 1959, que dans l'art de la tapisserie, auquel il commence à s'intéresser dès 1939 et qu'il exercera jusque dans les années 80. Mathieu Matégot est peut être d'abord l'inventeur d'un véritable langage, dont les deux supports sont le Rigitulle, une tôle perforée qu'il a brevetée et qui lui permet de déployer, par un système de plis, son métal perforé dans l'espace, ainsi que le "férotin", alliance équilibrée de métal et de rotin. C'est aussi un promoteur efficace de ses créations, qui développe sa propre société afin de maîtriser sa production, fait diffu-ser ses meubles à l'étranger, notamment au Royaume-Uni et aux Pays-Bas, et participe régulièrement, durant les années 50, aux plus grands Salons, tels que le Salon des arts ménagers ou le Salon des artistes décorateurs. Très sollicité, il est amené à répondre à de nombreuses commandes, publiques ou privées : le restaurant végétarien La Saladière, à Paris, une partie du Drugstore des Champs-Elysées, deux foyers bars à la Maison de la radio, un aérodrome à Casablanca, mais aussi de nombreuses tapisseries pour Air France, le consulat de France à New York, et enfin une tapisserie de 85 m2 , à l'époque la plus grande du monde, pour le conseil général de Seine-Maritime. Cet ouvrage écrit par Patrick Favardin, spécialiste des arts décoratifs de la seconde moitié du XX e siècle, revient sur l'en-semble du parcours de Matégot, de sa découverte du métal perforé, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, à ses dernières tapisseries des années 80. Grâce à de nombreux documents d'époque provenant notamment des archives familiales, il aide à mieux comprendre la genèse de ses créations, mais aussi à découvrir comment l'artiste contrôlait avec finesse la production et la diffusion de ses oeuvres en organisant ses prises de vue, en éditant ses brochures... Il permet avant tout de redécouvrir une oeuvre riche et variée, qui fait indéniablement de Mathieu Matégot l'un des plus grands créateurs de la période des Trente Glorieuses.
