Frida Kahlo. Tout L'œuvre Peint.

Koln, Taschen 2021, cm.29x40, pp.624 illustrazioni a colori, legatura editoriale in tutta tela, copertina figurata a colori. Collana Extra Large. Edizione in Inglese. Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art. After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp. We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, letters, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her universe. This large-format XXL book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo’s paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years, forming the most extensive study of Kahlo’s work and life to date.

Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2011, cm 17 x 24, xvi-196 pp. con 64 tavv. f.t. Monografie sulle biblioteche d'Italia, 11. Alla luce di inedite fonti manoscritte, l’autore traccia una storia della biblioteca Vallicelliana quale organismo e laboratorio di ricerca dell’Europa moderna con finalità editoriali e propagandistiche. Tramite liste, inventari e note di possesso, ‘smonta’ la Vallicelliana nelle sue biblioteche costituenti, per affidare alla riflessione storiografica una parte della lettura e della scrittura della Riforma cattolica, così come chiarisce le motivazioni ideologiche e pratiche dell’originario ordine dei libri. / Unpublished manuscript sources help the author trace a history of the Vallicelliana library as a Modern European centre and laboratory for research created for publishing and propaganda purposes. Lists, inventories and indications of ownership are used to ‘dismantle’ the Vallicelliana into its component libraries, to consider a part of the interpretations and narratives of the Catholic Reformation in a historiographical perspective. Ideological and practical reasons underlying the original order of the books are also explained.

Collana Les Aventuriers voyageurs. Edizione in francese. L'auteur du Tour du monde en 80 jours n'est jamais allé en Afrique noire ! Cependant en 1872, il publie Aventures de trois Russes et de trois Anglais dans l'Afrique australe, qui contient de nombreuses scènes de chasse très réalistes. C'est grâce à son immense talent mais aussi à son souci de puiser aux meilleures sources qu'il peut ainsi livrer au public d'excellents romans d'aventures toujours extrêmement documentés. Isabelle Guillaume, maître de conférences en littérature comparée à l'université de Pau, présente ces larges extraits et s'intéresse aux récits de voyage grâce auxquels Jules Verne a acquis une connaissance précise du continent africain et des voyages de chasse et d'exploration.
