Zustand: Sehr gut. 160 S. mit sehr zahlr. Fotos u. Abb. Umschl. etwas berieben. - The visual history of Niagara Falls is as rich as the literary history that Pierre Berton has already chronicled in his best-selling book Niagara. The first man to describe this natural wonder, Father Louis Hennepin, in 1678, also provided material for the first drawing of the Falls, an engraving that wildly exaggerated the height of the twin cataracts. Scores of other artists followed to produce a visual treasure trove, showing the Falls in all its moods, in every decade and every season-locked in the ice, half obscured by spray, terrifying in some aspects, beguiling in others. Frederic Church's famous painting, reproduced in these pages, came as the climax to two centuries of remarkable art, the best of which appears in this book. But that is only a small part of the graphic story of Niagara Falls. As the author points out, at least 100 million snapshots are taken here annually by amateur photographers from all over the world. Now, Toronto photographer Paul Casselman has added modern colour photographs to the wealth of archival material gathered for this book by veteran researcher Barbara Sears. In this visual feast, arranged by the award-winning designer Frank Newfeld, are some of the first photographs ever made at Niagara-daguerrotypes, ambrotypes, and wet plate studies. The legendary daredevil Blondin is here, of course, teetering on his tightrope, and so is Annie Taylor, the first person to go over the Falls in a barrel, shown just as she emerged, bedraggled and disoriented, from her craft. Here, too, are photographs taken at the exact moment a portion of the Niagara Escarpment tumbled into the river, crushing the Schoellkopf Power Plant. One of the most dramatic photographs in the book shows the famous Honeymoon Bridge, destroyed by the ravages of nature, lying like a crumpled serpent on the ice of the Niagara River. Other rare photographs show people disporting themselves on the ice bridge directly below the cataract - a romp that was finally banned after three people drowned.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Everyone from Sir Paul McCartney and Jimmy Page to Queens of the Stone Age now relishes the chance to share a stage with Dave Grohl and his legendary Foo Fighters. The question is: why Musical depth Not really. Major success Well, yes. Despite no longer shifting albums in the same quantity as they did twenty years ago, this band can still fill stadiums the world over (when Dave's not breaking his leg, of course).Long before Kurt Cobain blew his brains out in 1994, Dave Grohl was planning for a life after Nirvana. The unflinching bright sunlight to Cobain's permanent midnight darkness, Grohl had come from a similar broken home to his erstwhile band leader, but came out of the experience differently - brimming with positivity and a shrewd grasp of opportunities in the music industry.Did Grohl merely take the sonic blueprint of Nirvana and embellish it with a more life-affirming pop sheen Of course he did. Every band in America that sold over a million records in the post-grunge 90s did the same. The difference was that Grohl had real credibility. And he knew it.With exclusive testimony from true insiders (including Krist Novoselic, Grohl's bass-playing partner in Nirvana, ex-girlfirends, record company executives, tour photographers and confidantes), this book is an exploration of the real story behind Grohl and the Foo Fighters - the only serious literary biography of the group and its leader, one of the most famous and critically bulletproof rock figures of the 21st century.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 1,0, University of Lincoln (Media and Humanities), course: War and the Media, language: English, abstract: Lee Miller was born in 1907 in the State of New York as the child of a father of German descent and a Canadian nurse. She had a traumatic childhood (she was raped at the age of seven). At the age of eighteen she moved to France, where she soon came into contact with the bustling art scene and the emerging young surrealists. She moved back to the USA one year later and was discovered as a model. Due to her photogenic and elegant appearance she was seen as an archetype of the mid-twenties mode. Coming back to Paris in 1929, she started to live together with Man Ray in an amour fou. From him and other famous photographers and artists of that time she learned whatever she could about photography. After breaking up with Ray a few years later she moved back to New York, where she worked as a fashion photographer and was again influenced by her artist friends, many of whom were surrealists. Her first marriage with an Egyptian businessman allowed her to live out her adventurous and wild character and to visit wide parts of the world. Eventually, she moved to Egypt in 1934. Despite the beautiful landscape, Miller soon felt a strong longing for Europe and went back to France only three years later, leaving her husband behind. When war broke out in 1939, Miller was in England with her future husband Roland Penrose. She started her career as a war correspondent two years later.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'How did a loner destined for a niche domestic audience become one of the most famous writers alive A rare look inside the making of the 'Murakami Industry'-and a thought-provoking exploration of the role of translators and editors in the creation of global literary culture. Thirty years ago, when Haruki Murakami's works were first being translated, they were part of a series of pocket-sized English-learning guides released only in Japan. Today his books are in fifty languages and have won prizes and sold millions of copies globally. How did a loner destined for a niche domestic audience become one of the most famous writers alive This book tells one key part of the story. Its cast includes an expat trained in art history who never intended to become a translator; a Chinese-American ex-academic who never planned to work as an editor; and other publishing professionals in New York, London, and Tokyo who together introduced an understated, pop-inflected, unexpected Japanese voice to the wider literary world. David Karashima synthesizes research, correspondence, and interviews with dozens of individuals-including Murakami himself-to examine how countless behind-the-scenes choices over the course of many years worked to build an internationally celebrated author's persona and oeuvre. He looks beyond the 'Murakami Industry' toward larger questions: How active a role should translators and editors play in framing their writers' texts What does it mean to translate and edit 'for a market' How does Japanese culture get packaged and exported for the West '.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The definitive biography of the beguiling Diane Arbus, one of the most influential and important photographers of the twentieth century, a brilliant and absorbing exposition that links the extraordinary arc of her life to her iconic photographs.Diane Arbus brings to life the full story of one of the greatest American artists of the twentieth century, a visionary who revolutionized photography and altered the course of contemporary art with her striking, now iconic images. Arbus comes startlingly to life on these pages, a strong-minded child of unnerving originality who grew into a formidable artist and forged an intimacy with her subjects that has inspired generations of artists. Arresting, unsettling, and poignant, her photographs stick in our minds. Why did these people fascinate her And what was it about her that captivated them It is impossible to understand the transfixing power of Arbus's photographs without understanding her life story. Arthur Lubow draws on exclusive interviews with Arbus's friends, lovers, and colleagues, on previously unknown letters, and on his own profound critical understanding of photography, to explore Arbus's unique perspective. He deftly traces Arbus's development from a wealthy, sexually precocious free spirit into first a successful New York fashion photographer, and then a singular artist who coaxed hidden truths from her subjects. Lubow reveals that Arbus's profound need not only to see her subjects but to be seen by them drove her to forge unusually close bonds with these people, helping her discover the fantasies, pain, and heroism within each of them.Diane Arbus is the definitive biography of this unique, hugely influential artist. This magnificently absorbing, sensitive treatment of a singular personality brushes aside the clichés that have long surrounded Arbus and her work to capture a brilliant portrait of this seminal artist whose work has immeasurably shaped art and modern culture.Lubow's Diane Arbus finally does justice to Arbus, and brings to life the story and art of one of the greatest American artists in history.Diane Arbus includes a 16-page black-and-white photo insert.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eunice Lipton was a fledging art historian when she first became intrigued by Victorine Meurent, the nineteenth-century model who appeared in Edouard Manet's most famous paintings, only to vanish from history in a haze of degrading hearsay. But had this bold and spirited beauty really descended into prostitution, drunkenness, and early death -- or did her life, hidden from history, take a different course altogether Eunice Lipton's search for the answer combines the suspense of a detective story with the revelatory power of art, peeling off ayers of lies to reveal startling truths about Victorine Meurent -- and about Lipton herself.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were notorious for representing the opposite of "Family Values." To reframe their notoriety, they consented to a rare photoshoot for Spin magazine with their newborn, Frances Bean. Only 5 images were originally published; the rest of the photoshoot is seen here for the first time.'Now the entire family was in bed together, and Hansen remembers how beautiful it was to see everyone in sync. "They just were loving Frances. It was really so apparent," she said. "It was really about her. They were oblivious to us in a lot of cases, anytime they had the baby."' -- Guzman Interview in CNN 'Three decades later, Hansen and Peacock are revisiting this fabled shoot for the first time in their new book, Family Values (powerHouse Books), an intimate chronicle of a young couple driven by passion and love that eschewed the trappings of fame and celebrity for truth and art. Through Guzman's portraits, we see the last of a fading breed: the true rock star who spoke for outsiders, misfits and radicals who wanted nothing more than to live by their own rules.' -- AnOtherWith an ineffable ability to connect with people through his music, Kurt Cobain was charismatic and full of pathos, something of a lost boy poet struggling against his personal demons while holding the world in thrall. And yet in the midst of his struggles with success, fame, fortune, drugs, and the wounds of a traumatic childhood, he managed in his brief adulthood to get married to Courtney Lovewho of course had her own accomplishments as an electrifying and unrestrained lead singer and lyricist. The couple had already emerged as a cultural touchstone when their baby, Frances Bean, was born in 1992. Photographers Guzman captured, amidst toys and pajamas, the sweetness, humor, irony and the simple happiness of a new mom and dad at home with their baby girl. Family Values is a photography book presenting approximately 90 images featuring Kurt, Courtney, and their baby Frances, one morning in their modest Hollywood home selected from a photoshoot that Guzman did for Spin magazine in 1992. Only five photographs from the shoot were published in the magazine at the time, including the cover. Another appeared in Rolling Stone at the time of Kurt Cobain's death. In Spin, the photos originally accompanied an interview by Jonathan Poneman, which Guzman plans to license to reprint in the book. The book will also include a memoir of the photo shoot written by Guzman and an introduction by curator and music journalist Michael Azerrad. Family Values is a photographic assignment that revealed two famous rock stars who during one brief moment transcended the magnifying glass of fame and were revealed, amidst all the chaos, as being just a mom and dad.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Marvellous . . . intimate and insightful . . . reads like a novel by Samuel Beckett' Paul TherouxA portrait of one of the twentieth century's greatest sculptors from one of our most eminent art historiansToday the work of Alberto Giacometti is world-famous and his sculptures sell for record-breaking prices. But from his early days as an unknown outsider to the end of a dramatic international career, Giacometti lived in the same hovel of a studio in Paris. It was Paris that made him, and he in turn immortalised the city through his art.Arriving in Paris from the Swiss Alps in 1922, Giacometti was shaped not only by his relationships with remarkable artists and writers - from Picasso, Breton and Dalí to Sartre, Beauvoir and Beckett - but by the everyday life, pre-war and post-war, of Paris itself. His distinctive figures emerged from the city's unique atmosphere: the crumbling grey stone of its humbler streets and the café-terraces buzzing with radical ideas and racy gossip.In Giacometti in Paris, Michael Peppiatt, who spent thirty years documenting the Parisian art world and mixing with many of the people Giacometti knew, brilliantly charts the course of the artist's life and work. From falling in and out with the Surrealists to years of artistic anguish, from devotion to his mother to intense friendships, tragic love affairs and a fraught marriage, this is an intimate portrait of an outstanding artist in exceptional times.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - John Lennon's life, death and music shaped the world. His reputation as a philanthropist, political activist and pacifist influenced millions worldwide. If Elvis was King, Lennon was his rightful successor - and fittingly, several images in this collection of both classic and unseen photos show him wearing a diamond-studded 'Elvis' pin over his heart, in homage to his forefather on the throne of Rock 'n' Roll. John Lennon is seen here in several sessions in New York, performing on stage, relaxed at home and walking on the street with Yoko Ono.Renowned celebrity photojournalist Brian Hamill delivers his own insider view of this Beatles icon, through intense, intimate photographic portraits and insightful text. Whether Lennon is dominating the stage, posing on the roof of the Dakota building, or relaxing with Yoko Ono, Hamill's photography takes this quasi-mythical figure from the world of Rock 'n' Roll and shows him as the man he really was.'Brian looked at the John Lennon who had become an icon and saw instead a familiar face. He saw a working-class hero like those that built the City of New York. And so when John Lennon came to live in New York, Brian captured him as a New Yorker, in the joyous images that you will find in this book.' Pete Hamill'Lennon, one of the most famous men in human history, wanted to live as one among many. Of course, he hit it off with Hamill. The guy that flew so high needed some oxygen. Hamill is fresh air. His folio of Lennon images shows Lennon focused, present, but edgy, never relaxed.' Alec Baldwin.

Dek. förlagsband med mjuka pärmar. Gott skick. / Publisher's limp boards with flaps, fine. Stockholm, Bokförlaget Langensiöld, 2016. 8:o. 344 sid. Rikligt illustrerad. Med personregister och litteraturförteckning. (Baksidestext:) "Pontus Hultén, Hon & Moderna är den första biografin över museimannen Pontus Hultén (1924-2006), en av världens främsta museimän. I denna djuplodande skildring får vi ta del av den legendariske museimannens liv och arbete. Han var karismatisk och kreativ, gjorde Moderna Museet i Stockholm till en av Europas viktigaste konstinstitutioner och är den svensk som haft störst betydelse för den moderna konsten både i Sverige och utomlands. Hultén arbetade nära konstnärerna och läsaren får ta del av hur hans biografi sammanfaller med hans arbete; om mötet med den nya konsten i Paris på femtiotalet; om konstnärer som Robert Rauschenberg och Marcel Duchamp; om hur han skapade ett kontaktnät som gav honom möjlighet att genomföra de stora utställningarna på Moderna Museet och om ett svenskt, öppet sextiotal där nästan allt tycktes möjligt, och om hur detta lade grunden till hans framgångsrika internationella karriär. I centrum för denna studie finns den berömda utställningen Hon, en katedral som gjorde succé på Moderna sommaren 1966. I den stora hallen möttes besökarna av en tjugofem meter lång kvinnofigur som hade entré mellan de särade benen. Inuti figuren av Niki de Saint Phalle kunde man se konstverk av Jean Tinguely och Per Olof Ultvedt. Initiativtagare till utställningen var givetvis Pontus Hultén. Boken bygger på omfattande arkivstudier och ett stort antal intervjuer med personer som haft nära beröring med Hultén. Dessutom ingår en mängd unika fotografier av några av Sveriges främsta fotografer: Lennart af Petersens, Lennart Olson, Christer Strömholm, Lutfi Özkök och Hans Hammaskiöld". - - - Pontus Hultén, Hon & Moderna is the first biography of the museum director Pontus Hultén (1924-2006). He was charismatic and creative, transformed the Moderna Museet in Stockholm into one of Europe's most important art institutions and is the Swede who had the greatest influence on modern art both in Sweden and abroad. Hultén worked closely with the artists and the reader experiences how his biography coincides with his work; about the encounter with the new art in Paris in the fifties; about artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Marcel Duchamp; about how he created a contact network that gave him the opportunity to carry out the major exhibitions at the Moderna Museet and about the informal sixties where almost everything seemed possible, and about how this laid the foundation for his successful international career. At the center of this study is the famous exhibition She, a cathedral which was a great success at Moderna Museet in the summer of 1966. In the great hall, visitors were greeted by a twenty-five meter long female figure with the entrance between the parted legs. Inside the figure was artwork by Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Per Olof Ultvedt. The initiator of the exhibition was of course Pontus Hultén. The book is based on extensive archival studies and a large number of interviews with people who were in close contact with him. Also included are a number of unique photographs by some of Sweden's leading photographers: Lennart af Petersens, Lennart Olson, Christer Strömholm, Lutfi Özkök and Hans Hammaskiöld. Text in Swedish.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Art Book of the Year, The TimesA Telegraph, Sunday Times, Financial Times, Economist, Tablet and Evening Standard Book of the YearA magnificent new biography of the founder of ImpressionismIn the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Misunderstood and mocked at the beginning of his career, he risked everything to pursue his original vision. Although close to starvation when he invented impressionism on the banks of the Seine in the 1860s-70s, in the following decades he emerged as the powerful leader of the new painting in Paris at one of its most exciting cultural moments. His symphonic series Haystacks, Poplars, and Rouen Cathedral brought wealth and renown. Then he withdrew to paint only the pond in his garden. The late Water Lilies, ignored during his lifetime, are now celebrated as pioneers of twentieth century modernism.Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. He was as obsessional in his love affairs as in his love of nature, and changed his art decisively three times when the woman at the centre of his life changed. Enduring devastating bereavements, he pushed the frontier of painting inward, to evoke memory and the passing of time. His work also responded intensely to outside cataclysms - the Dreyfus Affair, the First World War. Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau was his closest friend. Rich intellectual currents connected him to writers from Zola to Proust; affection and rivalry to Renoir, Pissarro and Manet.Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

The rest of the objects, clothing, documents, drawings, and letters, as well as over 6,000 photographs collected by Frida in the course of her life, were put away in bathrooms converted into storerooms.This remarkable collection remained hidden for more than half a century. A few years ago the storerooms, wardrobes, and trunks that safeguarded it were opened. The collection of photographs is a treasure that reveals the tastes and interests of the famous couple, not only through the images themselves but also through the annotations made on them. The collection allows us to speculate about Frida s and Diego s likes and dislikes, and makes it possible to document their family origins.Photography had always been a part of Frida s life. Her father Guillermo Kahlo was one of the great photographers of Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century, whose images of colonial architecture and numerous selfportraits have been preserved. Frida s collection constitutes a roll call of great photographers: Man Ray, Brassaï, Martin Munkacsi, Pierre Verger, George Hurrell, Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Gisèle Freund, and many others, including Frida Kahlo herself. It is likely that many of the photographs in the collection were taken by her, though we can only be sure of the few that she decided to sign in 1929.

It was in 1947 that Christian Dior presented his first collection and heralded the birth of a new fashion silhouette for women. After the austerity of the war years, the cinched waistlines, full skirts and soft shoulders of the New Look came to embody a revival of Parisian luxury. Paris regained its place as the global capital of fashion and the name of Dior became a synonym for haute couture. For this book, published to mark the 70th anniversary of the House of Dior, seventy of the most memorable looks created Christian Dior and his successors - Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri - have been specially selected and photographed in fascinating detail. These wonderful designs are also featured in sketches, runway shots and fashion shoots by the world's greatest fashion photographers, including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, William Klein, Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier, Paolo Roversi, Peter Lindbergh, Mario Testino and Nick Knight. The seventy 'looks' are prefaced by essays from Olivier Gabet, Jérôme Gautier, Patrick Mauriès and Florence Müller. Recurring themes from the history of Dior are discussed in depth: the concept of line and architecture in fashion; the influence of history and art (the Palace of Versailles, the Empire style, Impressionism, the Belle Époque, the Ballets Russes, Picasso, Dalí, Pollock); the use of colour; the influence of gardens and landscapes as sources of inspiration; and, of course, the brand's muses and famous clients: the Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich, Princess Grace of Monaco, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Isabelle Adjani, Princess Diana, Marion Cotillard, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence and more.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A monolithic collection of images captured by photographer Joey L. over the course of thirteen years with the support of his dedicated Ethiopian crew.'Joey L.'s Ethiopia book is a true love letter to my home country of Ethiopia, the land of milk and honey. His imagery does a beautiful job of capturing the diversity of the country and culture. The astonishing landscapes, beautiful people, and vibrant culture. It can all be found all here in this book. Looking at the images, I can't wait to go back to my motherland.' - Marcus Samuelsson, Acclaimed chef, Author, and Restaurateur Ethiopia: A Photographic Tribute to East Africa's Diverse Cultures & Traditions is a visual ode to every region of the country and a celebration of all the diverse peoples found within. This highly anticipated volume includes both the iconic landmarks and landscapes found exclusively within Ethiopia, and regions that are lesser known to tourists and travellers. From the cosmopolitan hub of Addis Ababa famous for its Ethiopian Jazz, to the hinterlands of the Gambela region, where the Majang people climb trees over 150 feet tall to collect wild honey. From the north's Orthodox Tewahedo historic sites, to the Islamic influence spread across the east within Afar and Somali communities, to the Animist spiritualities of the southern nations. The book is a first of its kindunderscoring what makes each region of Ethiopia unique, yet uniting all in one cohesive visual style. Every walk of life is dignified in their own unique way. The flow of the collection is guided by immersive environmental images, landscapes, and classic still life. Interspersed into the narrative are thoughtful portraits, all photographed within the same "nomadic studio tent" the team built and took across the country. The portraits have a familiarity that only a decade of commitment to a single project can produce. The subjects are introduced by name. One spread of the book shows the same girl, Gure, photographed nearly ten years apart. On the book cover is a rare portrait of Fentale and Woday, two Kereyu men who travel to the market once a week to trade camels and try to meet potential wives with their carefully crafted hairstyles. There is Captain Amsale, a charismatic pilot of Ethiopian Airlinesthe first to fly internationally with an all-female flight crew. Deeper within the book, we meet Mories, one of the last remaining subsistence crocodile hunters of the Dassanach, whose nomadic existence is kept alive by following the legends of their ancestors. These seemingly disconnected cultural threads are woven together masterfully in order to truly see Ethiopiawhich itself is the sum of all the diverse lands and the proud people who inhabit it. 300+ COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS: Hundreds of intimate fine art photographs capture the diverse people and landscapes of Ethiopia and East Africa. STUNNING LANDSCAPES: Joey captures distinctand often overlookednatural features of Ethiopia's interior, from its vast deserts, sprawling mountain ranges, and dense forests. VIBRANT CITIES: Scenes from cities like Addis Ababa reveal a vibrant energy, alight with jazz clubs, musicians, youth culture, and so much more. DIVERSE CULTURES: Visually explore the Orthodox Tewahedo historic sites, see the Islamic influence on the Afar and Somali communities, and experience the Animist spiritualities of the southern nations.

De Gentse Universiteitsbibliotheek met de beroemde Boekentoren, die door Henry Van de Velde in de jaren 1930 werd ontworpen, werd onlangs heropend na een lange restauratiecampagne. Hoewel de tentoonstelling Beelden van de Boekentoren inspeelt of dit heuglijke feit, schenkt zij niet zozeer aandacht aan het gebouw zelf maar eerder aan de rijke beeldvorming ervan. De bibliotheektoren werd in de loop der jaren immers uitvoerig gevisualiseerd door toonaangevende fotografen zoals Lucien Herv en Candida H fer terwijl kunstenaars als Jan De Cock en Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker er installaties of dansvoorstellingen realiseerden die met behulp van foto's en films werden geregistreerd. Door meerdere beelden van hetzelfde gebouw te confronteren maakt deze expositie een veelvoud aan architecturale representatietechnieken duidelijk: van de typische modernistische architectuurfoto's die Emile Sergysels in de jaren 1930 maakte tot de recente exploraties door Aglaia Konrad. Daarnaast koppelt de expositie architectuurfotografie aan een ruime waaier van andere artistieke en fotografische praktijken zoals documentaire fotografie, street photography, modefotografie, fotojournalistiek, amateurfoto's, schilderkunst, video, et cetera - met, uiteraard, de Boekentoren als rode draad. Met werk van Kristien Daem, Jan De Cock, Walter De Mulder, Carl De Keyzer, Geert Goiris, Lucien Herv , Candida H fer, Jan Kempenaers, Aglaia Konrad, Fran ois Schuiten, Emile Sergysels en vele anderen.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Arguably the most famous perfume in the world - most memorably endorsed by Marilyn Monroe - Chanel No 5 continues to fascinate and claims millions of devotees around the world. Created in 1921 by Coco Chanel, the perfume was one of the first to use synthetics. To complement her pioneering fashion, Chanel wanted to give the modern woman 'a perfume, but an artificial perfume.not rose or lily of the valley.a perfume that is compound', presented in a distinctively pared-back glass bottle that would become an icon in its own right (inspiring a series of works by Andy Warhol decades later). Presented in two volumes (one on the early years of Chanel No 5 from 1921 to 1945, the other on the period in which Chanel No. 5 went truly global, from the postwar years to today), Chanel No 5 explores the evolution of the perfume's packaging, composition, manufacture and marketing, with unprecedented access to the Chanel archives and those tasked with creating the fragrance today. The world's leading creatives have lent their talents to the perfume's advertising campaigns, which are given pride of place in the book, from photographers such as Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton, to film directors including Ridley Scott and Baz Luhrmann, and stylish muses - Coco Chanel herself, of course, as well as Suzy Parker, Catherine Deneuve, Nicole Kidman, Gisele Bündchen and Lily-Rose Depp.With over 750 illustrations.
