L'Empire De L'Éphémère ; La Mode Et Son Destin Dans Les Societes Modernes

 Comment comprendre l'apparition de la mode en Occident à la fin du Moyen Âge ? Comment expliquer la versatilité des élégances qui ne se trouve dans aucune autre civilisation ? Quels sont les grands moments historiques, les grandes structures qui ont déterminé l'organisation sociale des apparences ? C'est à ces questions que s'efforce de répondre ce livre, la logique de la distinction sociale paraissant loin d'être la clef passe-partout de l'inconstance frivole. Mais la mode, aujourd'hui, n'est plus un luxe esthétique et périphérique de la vie collective, elle est devenue un procès général à l'oeuvre dans le tout social qui commande la production et la consommation des objets, la publicité, la culture, les média, les changements idéologiques et sociaux. Nous sommes entrés dans une seconde phase de la vie séculaire des démocraties organisées de plus en plus par la séduction, l'éphémère, la différenciation marginale. Par-delà les inquiétudes que fait naître une société vouée à l'obsolescence des choses et du sens, la «mode achevée» apparaît, paradoxalement et non sans ambiguïté, comme un instrument de consolidation des sociétés libérales, véhicule inédit des Lumières et de la dynamique modernisatrice.

 That’s Hot Ads from the decade that got down with digital Post-9/11, America’s sense of invincibility was shaken. The dotcom bubble had burst, there was war with Iraq, and eco-angst was becoming mainstream, as evidenced by impressive sales of the Toyota Prius. For escapism, self-expression, and even romantic connection, America turned to tech. Geeks were the new superheroes, and the iPod and iPhone reigned supreme, both commercially and creatively. Social media began its unstoppable rise, with MySpace and Facebook pushing brands to get more interactive with consumers. Prestige dramas—The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad—populated the small screen, while Netflix swapped mailing DVDs for streaming content, the reality TV star was born, and Paris Hilton decreed, That’s hot!. Amazon and eBay threatened the cultural centrality of the shopping mall, and every famous name from Michael Jordan to Madonna could be found on scotch, sneakers, and scents. Health and wellness fueled the growth of brands like Whole Foods and Lululemon, and consumers increasingly valued experiences, ethics, and personalization.
Tom of Finland XXL

80,00€ + 10% CARD

 In 1998, Taschen introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following in the international gay community but was largely unknown to a broader audience. In 2009, Taschen followed up with the ultimate Tom overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful big collector's edition with over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the artist's career. The work was gathered from collections across the United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland Foundation, featuring many drawings, paintings, and sketches never previously reproduced. Other images had only been seen out of context and were finally presented in the sequential order Tom intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The elegant oversized volume showed the full range of Tom's talent, from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down by AIDS, and was completed by eight commissioned essays on Tom's social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith. The only thing missing from Tom of Finland XXL was a widely affordable price tag-until now. The new Tom of Finland XXL is still big enough to work your biceps, and includes all of the original content, but costs a fraction of the original price. You're welcome.

 " 5 juin 2008, Comme le matin de Paris était jeune et beau la fois où nous nous sommes rencontrés! Tu menais ton premier combat. Ce jour-là, tu as rencontré la gloire et depuis, elle et toi, ne vous êtes plus quittés. Comment aurais-je pu imaginer que cinquante années plus tard nous serions là, face à face, et que je m'adresserais à toi pour un dernier adieu ? C'est la dernière fois que je te parle, la dernière fois que je le peux. Bientôt, tes cendres rejoindront la sépulture qui t'attend dans les jardins de Marrakech. "

 Maritime Masterpiece A complete reprint of the exquisite illuminated Les premières œuvres de Jacques Devaulx Five hundred years after the historic French seaport of Le Havre was established, Taschen presents a facsimile reproduction of Les premières œuvres de Jacques Devaulx, pilote en la marine, first published by Le Havre-born Naval Pilot to the King Jacques Devaulx in 1583. This extraordinary illuminated manuscript, dedicated to the Duke of Joyeuse, collates nautical, astronomical, and cartographic ideas as well as Devaulx’s own extensive notes, observations, and records as a seafarer, hydrographer, cosmographer, and cartographer. An encyclopedic reference for sailors, as well as a magnificent maritime showpiece for his royal employers, the elaborately annotated and decorated folios are a repertoire of naval and cosmographic tools and techniques, including astrolabes, nautical charts of the Atlantic Ocean, tabular statements of diurnal tides, astrological charts, and measurements for solar altitude. They also gather Devaulx’s volvelles, wheel charts made of rotating parts that are today considered an early example of the paper analog computer. Together, the folios encapsulate the state of knowledge at a time when sailors pushed the limits of sea exploration and offer a glimpse into the practical daily requirements of Renaissance seafaring. This edition of Devaulx’s stunning document, produced in collaboration with the Bibliothèque nationale de France, reproduces each of the 31 folios in all their brilliant art and science, including the original colorful illuminations, in particular the volvelles. The volume features essays by Jean-Yves Sarazin and Gerhard Holzer, as well as commentaries from a team of experts coordinated by Élisabeth Hébert and Véronique Hauguel-Thill, contextualizing Devaulx’s work with fascinating insights into 16th-century seafaring and exploration.

 A origem da pintura renascentista está na Itália. Com o regresso à antiguidade, reavivou-se uma visão do mundo que permitiu ao homem determinar a sua própria existência. Na pintura, desenvolveram-se novos temas de imagem, bem como uma nova forma de representação orientada para a realidade. Este naturalismo, por sua vez, foi significativamente influenciado pela pintura holandesa, por volta de 1450. com a transição do século XV para o século XVI, Roma segue Florença como centro do Renascimento. Pouco tempo depois, o novo estilo irradia também para outros países europeus. No Norte da Europa, o Renascimento combinado com as correntes medievais tardias, que também colocaram a existência terrestre no centro das atenções. O Renascimento mostra com mais de 400 obras uma panorâmica das pinturas mais importantes do Renascimento.

Boisgeloup, L'Atelier Normand De Picasso

 Jusqu'ici, aucun ouvrage, aucune exposition n'avaient été consacrés à cette période intensément créative, qui s'étend de 1930 à 1935, et voit Picasso pratiquer particulièrement la sculpture, mais aussi la peinture, le dessin, la gravure, la photographie avant de s'adonner à l'écriture. En juin 1930, Picasso acquiert le château de Boisgeloup près de Gisors. Tout en continuant à habiter à Paris, il fait de ce lieu une résidence de séjour, et surtout y aménage son premier atelier de sculptures. Secrètement amoureux de Marie-Thérèse Walter, il vit une période intensément créative, qui s'exprime également à travers la peinture, le dessin, la gravure et même la photographie. Ce moment rare, où l'inspiration renaît avec l'amour caché, est révélé pour la première fois en France dans une exposition rassemblant près de deux cents œuvres et documents grâce au Musée national Picasso-Paris et de collections privées.
