Ideological dreams
The fourth and final age of Soviet architecture

Photographer Frédéric Chaubin reveals 90
buildings sited in fourteen former Soviet
Republics which express what could be consid-
ered as the fourth age of Soviet architecture.
They reveal an unexpected rebirth of imagina-
tion, an unknown burgeoning that took place
from 1970 until 1990. Contrary to the twenties
and fifties, no “school” or main trend emerges
here. These buildings represent a chaotic
impulse brought about by a decaying system.
Their diversity announces the end of the Soviet
Union.
JANUARY 2011
Taking advantage of the collapsing monolithic
structure, the holes in the widening net, archi-
tects went far beyond modernism, going back
to the roots or freely innovating. Some of the
daring ones completed projects that the
Constructivists would have dreamt of (Druzhba
sanatorium), others expressed their imagination
in an expressionist way (Tbilisi wedding palace).
A summer camp, inspired by sketches of a proto-
type lunar base, lays claim to its suprematist
influence (Promethee). Then comes the speak-
ing architecture widespread in the last years of

the USSR: a crematorium adorned with con-
crete flames (Kiev crematorium), a technologi-
cal institute with a flying saucer crashed on the
roof (Kiev institute of scientific research), a
political center watching you like Big Brother
(House of Soviets in Kalinin-grad). This puzzle
of styles testifies to all the ideological dreams
of the period, from the obsession with the
cosmos to the rebirth of identity, and it also
outlines the geography of the USSR, showing
how local influences made their exotic twists
before bringing the country to its end.

Bettina Rheims and Serge Bramly’s Rose, c’est
Paris is both a photographic monograph and a
feature-length film on DVD. This extraordinary
work of art, in two different but interlocking
and complementary formats, defies easy cate-
gorization. For in this multi-layered opus of
poetic symbolism, photographer Bettina Rheims
and writer Serge Bramly evoke the City of Light
in a completely novel way: this is a Paris of
surrealist visions, confused identities, artistic
phantoms, unseen manipulation, obsession,
fetish, and seething desire.
Equal parts erotica, fashion shoot, art mono-
graph, metaphysical mystery, social and cul-
tural archaeology of the French capital, and
neo-noir arthouse film—Rose, c’est Paris is the
steamy tale of twin sisters, known only as B and
Rose, and a third principal—the city itself. An
abduction leads to a detective story that unfolds
in the streets, cafés, cabarets, museums, aban-
doned factories, and grand hotels of Paris. What
happened to the missing sister? Was there a
plot? Was she really kidnapped? Is she alive or
dead? Is it in fact a case of mistaken identity?
Rheims and Bramly create a series of extraordi-
nary tableaux suggesting all these possibilities
and many more, featuring a host of celebrity fig-
ures, including Naomi Campbell, Michelle
Yeoh, Monica Bellucci, Charlotte Rampling,
Valérie Lemercier, Inès Sastre, Anna Mouglalis,
Audrey Marnay, Anthony Delon, Rona Hartner,
Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Azzedine Alaïa, Louise

Wood is renewable and sustainable, solid and
attractive. Wood can be bent and shaped to the
most modern of designs. It is the material of the
moment for contemporary architecture, and
this new volume allows readers to get a glimpse
of the most exciting and dynamic new uses of
wood in architecture from all over the world.
Like earthen architecture, the use of wood is
almost as ancient as building itself. The col-
umns of Greek temples are stylized trees.
Today’s wooden buildings do all kinds of sur-
prising things, and most of all, they are as
“green” as they come.

OK, imagine the best photos from the iconic
first volume of the body parts series, The Big
Book of Breasts, but popping off the page in
state-of-the-art 3D. An impossible dream? Not
so, Luddites! In this wonderful modern world of
digital magic, 90 photos from the original book,
plus 18 stunning new photos, have been trans-
formed from boring old last-century 2D into
cutting edge 21st century 3D by Jon Schnitzer
and The Brain Factory, the geniuses whipping
up special effects for filmmakers such as Tim
Burton. This 220-page special edition has a
revised introduction, updated layout, and
comes with a pair of red/blue anaglyph viewing
glasses so that you may marvel at the enhanced
roundness of our big breasted models.
Unlike other 3D pictures you may have seen
before, the photos in The Big Book of Breasts
3D do not look distorted when viewed without
the glasses. The Brain Factory’s technique is so
subtle it’s hard to even detect the red/blue tint
in many of the black and white photos, but
when you put on your glasses the curves leap
from the page, not in flat layers as in old-style
3D, but as fully rounded body contours.
It doesn’t take a genius to guess that this will be
the gift book of the year. As Playboy’s Hugh
Hefner recently observed, “What would people
most like to see in 3D? Probably a naked lady.”
We hear you Hef, and we deliver.

It’s hard to imagine a book that could beat
The Big Penis Book for grabbing attention and

unimaginably colossal generative units seen in
breathtaking 3D. That pop-up centerfold we
joked about adding? In 3D every page becomes
a pop-up! This 220-page, 28 by 28 cm special
edition includes 90 images from the original
book, plus 8 new bonus photos, transformed
into eye-popping 3D by Jon Schnitzer and The
Brain Factory, the geniuses whipping up special
effects for filmmakers such as Tim Burton.
There is a revised introduction, new layout, and
a pair of red/blue anaglyph glasses included.
Unlike other 3D pictures you may have seen,
the photos in The Big Penis Book 3D do not look
distorted when viewed without the glasses. The
Brain Factory’s technique is so subtle it’s hard
to even detect the red/blue tint in many of the
black and white photos, but when you put on
your glasses the parts of interest leap from
the page, not in flat layers as in old-style 3D, but
as thick, fully rounded, touchable contours.
That this is a red-hot gift book is a no-brainer.
From the dawn of 3D technology, spears, sticks,
guns, and rockets have been aimed at the audi-
ence to demonstrate the realism of the effect.
The special effects in The Big Penis Book 3D are
no less convincing.

During the 1960s, Dennis Hopper carried a
camera everywhere—on film sets and locations,
at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving
on freeways and walking on political marches.
He photographed movie idols, pop stars, writ-
ers, artists, girlfriends, and complete strangers.
Along the way he captured some of the most
intriguing moments of his generation with a
keen and intuitive eye. A reluctant icon at the
epicenter of that decade’s cultural upheaval,
Hopper documented the likes of Tina Turner in
the studio, Andy Warhol at his first West Coast
show, Paul Newman on set, and Martin Luther

For 40 years, Kubrick fans and film buffs won-
dered about the director’s mysterious unmade
film on Napoleon Bonaparte. Slated for produc-
tion immediately following the release of 2001:
A Space Odyssey, Kubrick’s “Napoleon” was to
be at once a character study and a sweeping epic,
replete with grandiose battle scenes featuring
thousands of extras. To write his original screen-
play, Kubrick embarked on two years of inten-
sive research; with the help of dozens of assist-
ants and an Oxford Napoleon specialist, he
amassed an unparalleled trove of research and
preproduction material, including approxi-
mately 15,000 location scouting photographs

filmmaker’s exhaustive preparation to

and 17,000 slides of Napoleonic imagery. But
alas, Kubrick’s movie was not destined to be:
the film studios decided such an undertaking
was too risky at a time when historical epics
were out of fashion.
TASCHEN’s tribute to this unmade master-
piece made Kubrick’s valiant work on
“Napoleon” available to fans for the first time.

© The Estate of André de Dienes

Fashion photographer André de Dienes’s life
was changed forever one day in 1945 when he
met a lovely young aspiring model named
Norma Jeane Dougherty. He instantly fell in
love with her innocence and charm and the two
were briefly engaged. They took many adventur-
ous road trips together in those early years, de
Dienes shooting Norma Jean in every possible
natural setting in his original, inspired style. He
soon built up a huge portfolio of stunning photo-
graphs of the smiling brunette which helped to
launch her model career and, a few years later, a
film career that was to make her a legend.
His entire relationship with the star, including
many private moments shared only between the
two, is detailed in de Dienes’s secret memoirs,
which were discovered when Monroe fans rav-
aged his home after his death in 1988.
The memoirs tell a beautiful story of love and
friendship from the point of view of someone
who knew Marilyn intimately; describing the
transformation from Norma Jeane to Marilyn
Monroe — the evolution of a sensitive, ambi-
tious girl into a deeply troubled megastar —
from an inside perspective, they shed light on a
little-known side of Marilyn. From their trip to
see Norma Jeane’s mother in a mental hospital
to Marilyn’s visit to his home a few days before
her death, de Dienes recounts all of the emo-
tional moments they shared. The combination
of de Dienes’s memoirs and an extensive selec-
tion of his Monroe photographs (which num-
bered in the thousands) makes for an unprece-
dented, personal exploration into the
psychology, history, and iconography of the
world’s favorite movie star.

Since 2000, the Serpentine Gallery in London’s
Kensington Gardens has called on some of the
world’s top architects to design summer pavil-
ions – temporary structures that are erected
next to the Gallery itself for a three-month
period. The Serpentine, which was built in 1934
as a tea pavilion, opened in 1970 as a showplace
for exhibitions of modern and contemporary
artists ranging from Matthew Barney to Dan

In 1966, during a brief stint as a receptionist for
Town and Country magazine, Linda Eastman
snagged a press pass to a very exclusive promo-
tional event for the Rolling Stones aboard a
yacht on the Hudson River; her fresh, candid
photographs of the band were far superior to the
formal shots made by the band’s official photog-
rapher, and she was instantly on the way to mak-
ing a name for herself as a top rock ’n’ roll pho-
tographer. On May 11, 1968, when her portrait
of Eric Clapton was featured on the cover of
Rolling Stone, she entered the record books as
the first woman to have that honor. During her
tenure as the leading photographer of the late
1960s’ musical scene, she captured many of
rock’s most important musicians on film, includ-

ing Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan,
Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, The
Doors, and the Grateful Dead. In 1967, Linda
went to London to document the “Swinging
Sixties,” where she met Paul McCartney at the
Bag ’o Nails club and subsequently photo-
graphed the Beatles during a launch event for
the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
album. Paul and Linda fell in love, and were
married on March 12, 1969. For the next three
decades, until her untimely death, she devoted
herself to her family, vegetarianism, animal
rights, and photography.
From her early rock ’n’ roll portraits, through
the final years of the Beatles, via touring with
Wings to raising four children with Paul, Linda

captured her whole world on film. Her shots
range from spontaneous family pictures to stu-
dio sessions with Stevie Wonder and Michael
Jackson, as well as artists Willem de Kooning
and Gilbert and George. Always unassuming
and fresh, her work displays a warmth and feel-

essence of any subject. Whether photographing
her children, celebrities, animals, or a fleeting
moment of everyday life, she did so without pre-
tension or artifice.
This retrospective volume—selected from her
archive of over 200,000 images—is produced in
close collaboration with Paul McCartney and
their children. As such, it is a moving personal
journal and a lasting testament to Linda’s talent.

Through the cougar’s eyes: the road to sexual liberation

The Outrageous Visual Diary

“My life had become a playground, and it was
exactly what I wanted,” writes photographer
Liz Earls in the introduction to this ground-
breaking book detailing her transformation
from middle-aged, overweight Human
Resources director to sexual adventurer,
self-portraitist, and unabashed cougar.
A cougar, as defined by the Urban Dictionary, is
“A 35+ year old female who is on the hunt for a
much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-any-
thing male.” For Earls that “anything” must
include collaborating in her quest to capture
authentic human passion. Since losing 100
pounds at age 40, quitting her straight job, and
embarking on a career as an erotic photogra-
pher, Earls has documented her sexual experi-
ences with dozens of men. Her work has been
described as a midlife version of Natacha
Merritt’s Digital Diaries, as intensely personal,
and as sexually unbounded. She speculates that
a woman who has as much sex as she does—four
to six times a day with multiple partners—cre-
ates an aura that draws new men to her. It
seems to be true, as Days of the Cougar graphi-
cally illustrates in over 250 photographs of
Earls seducing men from 19 to 32 years of age.
When she decided to devote the second half of
her life to pleasure, Earls realized that, “If I just
shot on the sidelines as an observer it would be
boring. I had to feel it too, to put everything I’d
recently learned about my sexuality into it.” She
never deviates from this path, exploring every
aspect of her lust for young men in graphic color
and black and white photos, accompanied by
diary entries, e-mails, and text messages shared
with her eager prey. Sexy, shocking, and sur-
prisingly loving, Days of the Cougar reworks our
notions of age and attraction, and will inspire
anyone feeling trapped by society’s expectations.

“... an essential piece of the puzzle

to understanding the man behind
some of the world’s most influential
and innovative designs.”
—The Specifier, Sydney

Opposite: A. D. German Warehouse,

Richland Center, Wisconsin, 1915

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is widely con-
sidered to be the greatest American architect of
all time; indeed, his work virtually ushered in
the modern era and remains highly influential
today. His wide-ranging and paradigm-shifting
oeuvre is the subject of TASCHEN’s three-vol-
ume monograph that covers all of his designs
(numbering approximately 1100), both realized
and unrealized.
Made in cooperation with the Frank Lloyd
Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, this collec-
tion leaves no stone unturned in examining and
paying tribute to Wright’s life and work. From
his early Prairie Houses (typified by the Robie
House) to the Usonian concept home and pro-
gressive “living architecture” buildings to late
projects like the spiral Guggenheim Museum in
New York and the development of his fantastic
vision of a better tomorrow via his concept of
the “living city,” all of the phases of Wright’s
career are painstakingly described and illus-
trated herein.
Volume 1 covers the early Chicago years and the
Prairie Houses, the period which exerted a pro-
found influence on European architects.
Wright’s architectural work during these early
years was mostly residential, as it would be
throughout his career, and from his earliest
work, Frank Lloyd Wright demonstrated a
knowledge of and respect for natural materials.
In the ten years betweeen 1896 and 1906 he
developed and perfected the so-called “Prairie
House.” Wright believed the architect should
have complete charge of architectural design,
and for him this meant interior furnishings as
well as exterior landscape. The 1908 Avery
Coonley residence, the administration building
for the Larkin Soap Company (1903–1905), and
the Unity Temple (1905) are examples of major
works from the period.

Nobuyoshi Araki, Venice, 2002

Meaning literally “the beauty of tight binding,”
Kinbaku-bi, the Japanese art of erotic bondage,
has long fascinated Nobuyoshi Araki, who has
made it one of his most important subjects. He’s
been called a genius and a poet, and also a
misogynist, a pornographer, a monster. But
Araki’s work transcends simplistic moralistic
classifications; he has said of his work, “There is
no conclusion. It’s completely open. It doesn’t go
anywhere.” Whether literally or figuratively, his
bound subjects are certainly immobilized, yet in
the most tantalizing ways. Björk and Lady Gaga
are fans, and they have both posed for him—the
latter lustily bound in ropes.

English/German/French edition
978–3–8365–2436–0
£ 27.99

The title means “the little death,” a euphemism
for orgasm, but the women who exuberantly
masturbate for Toronto photographer Will
Santillo in this book are as lively a bunch as
you’ll ever meet. Santillo conceived the project
eight years ago to include a thorough cross sec-
tion of women: young to old, slim to thick, per-
fect beauties to those not considered beautiful
until seen through his lens. The one constant
would be that each would decide and direct how
she masturbated to climax while he captured the
moment. From previous projects with amateur
subjects Santillo had come to believe that mas-
turbation is a far more personal act than most
sex play because it is conducted almost exclu-
sively in private. He set out to reveal the diver-
sity and creativity with which women approach
self-stimulation, and to portray the beauty of
ordinary women in the throes of orgasm—a
beauty far richer than the male oriented depic-
tions seen in pornography. Santillo says he seeks
to uncover the hidden face of his subjects, and
indeed, it’s the faces that best show the intensity
of response in these artfully explicit photos.
Dian Hanson interviewed 37 of the women, and
their candid insights on overcoming inhibition,
giving in to exhibitionism, and achieving orgasm
in front of a stranger with a camera provide a
framework for the lush, sepia-toned photos.
For all who are curious about just what the
woman next door—or one’s own wife—gets up
to in her private moments, La Petite Mort is a
breath of life.

—Zink Magazine, New York

In a world where products are out as soon as
they’re in, where communicating without wires
doesn’t come without strings, and even our
accessories need accessories, we need simple
tools. A book that helps us look inside because
we are overloaded outside.
Keel’s Simple Diary™ offers structure for those
who don’t have time to wonder, making it easy
to record life’s moments. It gives the pleasure of
a quick response and the sense that no matter
what’s wrong, more is right.
Why Simple Diary™?
There are three reasons why most people,
although they have tried, won’t keep a diary:
1. Not every day is very eventful.
2. It actually takes a lot of discipline to write.
3. In retrospect, many find what they have
written embarrassing.
What is Simple Diary™?
It is an assistant for life, a book for any occa-
sion, for any person at any age. On every page
you will discover a taste of philosophy, a pinch
of psychology and a twist of insight.
And here are three things Simple Diary™
can do for you:
1. Entertain the mind.
2. Help you focus.
3. Keep you company.
Simple Diary™ is Keel’s response to having too
much information and not enough meaning,
and needing to remember what made him
smile. Three volumes and many pastrami sand-
wiches later, Keel finally had the answers to his
own questions. Simple Diary™ is the culmina-
tion of his quest to gain insight into who we are,
and why we do what we do.

Until restaurants became commonplace in the

commodities reserved for special occasions. As
restaurants proliferated, the menu became
more than just a culinary listing. The design of
the menu became an integral part of eating out
and as such menus became a marketing tool and
a favored keepsake. Menu Design is an omnibus
showcasing the best examples of this graphic
art. With nearly a thousand examples, illus-
trated in vibrant color, this deluxe volume not
only highlights this extraordinary collection of
paper ephemera but serves as a history of res-
taurants and eating out both in America and

When Kunstwerke und Geräthschaften des
Mittelalters und der Renaissance (1852–1863)
was published, what purchasers in fact bought
was a small printed museum of unusual treas-
ures. With 216 hand-colored copperplate
engravings, the publication gives a comprehen-
sive overview of applied arts in Europe from the
9th to the 16th centuries. The objects presented
comprise furniture, metalwork, jewelry, cos-
tumes, tapestries, and works of bookbinding.
Carefully selected masterpieces like the gilt
Corvinus goblet, an enamelled saltcellar, and
medieval ivory combs are depicted, along with a
decorative sword, now lost.
The editor Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck
(1811–1903) was head of the Royal Cabinet of
Prints and Drawings in Munich and later direc-
tor of the Bavarian National Museum. His work
helped influence the creation of new museums
APRIL 2011
of art and design – the South Kensington
Museum in London (today the Victoria and
Albert Museum), founded in 1852, being the
very first – in which artists could study the
hand-crafted masterpieces of earlier epochs.
Although the co-editor Carl Becker (1794–1859)
commissioned various artists to make drawings
of the historical originals for Kunstwerke und
Geräthschaften, the signatures on the plates
show that most of the illustrations stem from
the hand of artist Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-
Alteneck and he can therefore be considered
as the work’s main draughtsman; considering
that Becker died before the completion of the
work, the most influential figure behind it was
undoubtedly Hefner. Before his collaboration
with Becker, Hefner-Alteneck had previously
published Trachten des christlichen Mittelalters
(Costumes of the Christian Middle Ages).

With their publication, Johann Heinrich von

selecting masterpieces from public and private

A city built on two millennia of history, Paris is
entering the third century of its love story with
photography. It was on the banks of the Seine
that Niépce and Daguerre officially gave birth
to this new art that has flourished ever since,
developing a distinctive language and becoming
a vital tool of knowledge.
Paris, Portrait of a City leads us through what
Goethe described as a “universal city where
every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a
great past, where a fragment of history is
unrolled at the corner of every street.” This his-
tory is recounted in photographs, all the way
from Daguerre’s incunabula to the most recent
images. In fact, Paris can claim to be the only
JUNE 2011
city in the world whose archives house an
almost complete record of over a century and a
half of transformations. This huge panorama of
nearly 600 pages and as many photographs
makes Paris, Portrait of a City unique. This
book brings together the past and the present,
the monumental and the everyday, objects and
people. Thanks to images captured by the most
illustrious photographers – Daguerre, Marville,
Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis,
Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many more –
but also by many unknown amateurs, these
pages show the essential workings of a human
drama acted out on the stage of history. These
visions attempt to bottle just a little of that

“Parisian air”, something of that particular
poetry exuded by the stones and inhabitants of
a constantly changing city that has inspired
untold numbers of writers and artists over the
ages.
Paris, Portrait of a City is an exciting patchwork
of images from past and present, a huge and
unique photographic study that, in a way, is the
true family album of all Parisians. It is to them,
and to all lovers of this capital city, that this
vibrant, loving and tender testimony is
dedicated.

Neville Brody is Britain’s first and reigning star
typographer and designer. Working with maga-
zines including The Face and Arena, designing
record covers for major bands such as Depeche
Mode, and creating some of the most important
new fonts of recent years, he has made his name
ubiquitous in his field. Starting 20 years ago,
Brody teamed up with fellow designers to
produce FUSE, an experimental design and
typeface annual. Each “package” contains a
selection of new typefaces (originally on floppy
disk, now on CD), as well as posters featuring
the fonts and essays on design by leading writers
on the subject. Most of the breakthroughs in
type and its application of the past two decades
have come from this groundbreaking annual.
To celebrate FUSE’s 20th issue, TASCHEN has
published a retrospective featuring the best
posters and typefaces—including access to the
fonts themselves!

His Tunisian watercolors depicting landscape,

They say that in life, there are winners and
there are losers. Though the movies we selected
for this two-volume collection are winners
indeed, those that didn’t make the cut aren’t
losers. We just didn’t like them quite as much. It
was a tough, soul-searching process, but after
much debate and deliberation TASCHEN set-
tled on what we believe to be the 100 finest
examples of 20th century filmmaking.
From horror to romance, noir to slapstick,
adventure to tragedy, epic to musical, western
to new wave, all genres are represented in this
wide-ranging and devilishly fun compendium.
Metropolis? Check. Modern Times? Yep. Citizen
Kane, The Seven Samurai? Of course. La dolce
vita, Psycho, A Clockwork Orange? You bet. Plus
The Godfather, Annie Hall, Blue Velvet, Pulp
Fiction... and so many more cinematic gems,
including lesser-known masterpieces like
Buñuel’s The Young and the Damned. Think of
this collection as a celebration of contrasts, an
homage to the seventh art, a gathering of greats,
and a nostalgic romp through celluloid history.
Chronological entries each include a synopsis,
cast/crew listings, technical information, actor/
director bios, trivia, and lists of awards, as well
as film stills, production photos, and the origi-
nal poster for each film. The chapter for each
decade begins with an introduction exploring
the historical and social context of films made
in that era.

Richard Kern likes real women: unpretentious,
unadorned, and definitely undressed. Those
who love Kern know each book is an invitation
to join him in his privileged world where natu-
ral young women share their most intimate
moments. Kern has never lost his boyish
curiosity about girls and their secrets, so
instead of posing them in sterile sets he follows
them through the house—or rather his New
York apartment—from backyard to kitchen
to bathroom to bedroom, capturing every
sexy and embarrassing moment.
Action is his most revealing book yet. But we
know that sometimes it can be a little risky to
look at a book this revealing in public, so this
special edition comes with TASCHEN’s clever
new Panic Cover feature to end public censure
once and for all. Simply slip off the attractive
but explicit cover, reverse, and redress your
book for a sedate look, perfect for all occasions.
For 240 pages we will still be careening through
the life of Kern, accompanied by dozens of
energetic, fun-loving, clothes-dropping exhibi-
tionists, but those ladies in the park will think
you’re reading The Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire! “Young women want to show
the world they’re not like their man-hating
women’s lib mothers,” a Kern model once told
me, and these girls certainly get the point
across. To further assist the young ladies in
their rebellion, the book includes an hour-long
DVD of original Kern film with an exclusive
musical score by Thurston Moore of Sonic
Youth. Way to stick it to the Mom, ladies! And
thank you, Richard, you lucky dog.-Dian Hanson
The Comic Collection is the most affordable
compilation of Tom of Finland’s popular panel
stories. This volume features 14 stories, includ-
ing the first completed by Tom in 1946, and the
last, done in 1986. Along the way we meet Jack
in the Jungle, Beach Boys, Greasy Rider, Ringo
& the Renegades, and Tom's most infamous
creation, Kake, the ultimate leatherman. The
stories are arranged chronologically in a book
sized to fit perfectly in one hand, wrapped in our
new Panic Jacket that allows the book to be read
any place, any time, by simply removing and
reversing the cover to give the appearance of a
serious scholarly tome.
For boys who like boys who like art—but are
sometimes embarrassed to enjoy their art in
public—this attractive package is not to be
missed.

Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial pho-
tographer based in New York and Paris, has
made a name for himself with his own uncom-
missioned works, as this book eloquently
attests. For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the bod-
ies of black women represent the epitome of
beauty. His photographs are exactly what they
show, no more and no less than a homage to
female beauty. And of course that homage is
paid in the perfect setting, the stunning land-
scape of Africa.
Calixthe Beyala, born in Cameroon, is one of
the leading Francophile African poets. The
texts in this book were written especially as a
commentary on the photography of Uwe
Ommer.

Albertus Seba’s Cabinet of Curiosities is one of
the 18th century’s greatest natural history
achievements and remains one of the most
prized natural history books of all time. Though
scientists of his era often collected natural spec-
imens for research purposes, Amsterdam-based
pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665-1736) was
unrivaled in his passion. His amazing collection
of animals, plants and insects from all around
the world gained international fame during his
lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting,
Seba commissioned illustrations of every speci-
men and arranged the publication of a four-vol-
ume catalog–from strange and exotic plants to
snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, birds,
and butterflies, as well as fantastic beasts, such
as a hydra and a dragon.
Seba’s scenic illustrations, often mixing plants
and animals in a single plate, were unusual even
for the time. The more peculiar creatures from
the collection–some of them now extinct–were
as curious in Seba’s day as they are today.
Our superb reproduction is taken from a rare,
hand-colored original. The introduction sup-
plies background information about the fasci-
nating tradition to which Seba’s curiosities
belonged.

Jungles is a personal exploration of nature in
the tropics by master photographer, storyteller,
and naturalist Frans Lanting. In a unique col-
lection of images made over a period of 20 years
in jungles from the lowlands of the Congo to the
cloud forests of the Andes, Lanting interprets
the aesthetic splendor and the remarkable nat-
ural history of the tropical rainforest—a realm
of bewildering complexity where nothing is the
way it first appears. “While the essence of pho-
tography is to show, jungles hide, or at best, sug-
gest,” Lanting writes. “So I opted to show
impressions of jungles to evoke a sense of their

melt into shadows, the bursts of color and shim-

The book features four portfolios of images
taken years and continents apart, and stories of
field expeditions into tropical wilderness areas.
“Water and Light” shows the interplay of these
elements with plant and animal life, with a story
about life after dark in the jungles of Central
America. “Color and Camouflage” explores the
need to hide and the desire to be seen, and

movement, and leads to a trek up a mountain in
Borneo. “Form and Evolution” is an ode to the
wonders of natural selection, and culminates in
encounters with primates in the forests of
Madagascar and Africa.
In photographs ranging from spectacular gath-
erings of rainbow-colored macaws to the misty
exhalations of a forest at dawn, Lanting evokes
the lush sensuality and intricate natural order
of the tropical regions that form the beating
heart of life on earth.

The story of modern art begins roughly 150
years ago, when painters left their studios to try
and catch nature and the quickly changing light
out in plain air, only to find that they did not
paint more realistically, instead they were
pushed toward the fractured colors and fleeting
compositions we’ve come to associate with the
term impressionism. Once standard academy
practice had been overcome, there was no hold-
ing back, and in a constant desire to pursue new
roads, one style supplanted the next, always
