Koln, Taschen 2008, cm.30x42, formato albo. pp.592, centinaia di figure bn.e a colori nel testo, legatura editoriale in mz.tela. An in-depth exploration of Bergman’s complete works. On November 24, 2008 The Ingmar Bergman Archives editors Paul Duncan and Bengt Wanselius won the August Prize 2008 for the Best Non-Fiction Book published in Sweden. This is the most prestigious literary prize in Sweden, voted for by booksellers and librarians throughout the country. The complete works of Ingmar Bergman: an homage to one of the most esteemed film and theater artists of all time, began in cooperation with Bergman himself and made with full access to his archives. Since 1957, when he released The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries, Ingmar Bergman has been one of the leading figures in international cinema. In a career that spanned 60 years, he wrote, produced, and directed 50 films that defined how we see ourselves and how we interact with the people we love, in films like Persona, Scenes from a Marriage, and Fanny and Alexander. Before his death in 2007, Bergman gave TASCHEN and the Swedish publishing house Max Ström complete access to his archives at The Bergman Foundation, and permission to reprint his writings and interviews, many of which have never been seen outside of Sweden. Picture researcher Bengt Wanselius, who was Bergman’s photographer for 20 years, scoured photo archives all over Sweden, discovered previously unseen images from Bergman’s films, and selected unpublished images from the personal archives of many photographers. Text editor Paul Duncan gathered a team of Bergman experts as contributing editors—Peter Cowie and Bengt Forslund (for film/TV), and Ulla Åberg & Birgitta Steene (for theater)—who have researched and written a narrative that, for the first time, will combine all of Bergman’s working life in film and theater. Such is the depth of Bergman’s writings that most of the story is told in his own words.

La democrazia è il luogo deputato dal potere ove le masse sono confinate e possono anche dire di no, purchè facciano sempre così. Presentazione di Gianfranco Costantini. Prefazione di Espedito De Pascale. Saggio introduttivo di Federico Caffè. Reggello, Firenzelibri 2015 cm.14x21, pp.296, brossura cop.fig.a col.con bandelle. Il fil rouge che ha guidato l'Autore nell'accurata rielaborazione nel testo e nel titolo, di questo saggio, sta nell'aver rivisitato ed ampliato in un unicum le tre precedenti pubblicazioni, con cui aveva già permeato l'indagine sull'umano se animato dalla consapevolezza e dal discernimento interiore, di conquistare il "Saper Aude" da se medesimo, quale nota dominante per il "Consensus" aggregativo. Ovvero lautonomo superamento della propria "minorità intellettuale", attraverso una ricerca personale che contribuisca alla costituzione di una coscienza critica super partes, non filtrata nè mediata dal systém. Con questa ideazione l'autore indaga quel pensiero che si fa coscienza nell'esperienza capace di rendere l'essere umano soggettivamente responsabile. Quindi non solo "homo socius" verso se stesso e la società, ma proiezione della possibilità umana di essere "oltre" nell'universale metafisico. (dalla presentazione di G.Costantini).

Art Inst of Chicago 2025 cm.23x29, pp.111, legatura editoriale in tutta tela. An acrobat, carpenter, railroad repairman, and two-time naval war veteran, sculptor H. C. Westermann (1922–1981) rose to prominence in Chicago in the 1950s with new forms inspired by his personal experiences. This overdue reassessment of an understudied artist includes stunning new photographs of Westermann’s intricate and exceptionally crafted sculptures throughout his career. New essays by Giampaolo Bianconi and Thea Liberty Nichols explore his nonconformist attitudes about masculinity and his intense response to the horrors of war—a recurring theme in Westermann’s sculpture following his return from service in the Korean War—as well as his experiments with wordplay, connection to conceptualism, and astonishing contributions to American art. An interview with artist Ed Ruscha, who knew and admired Westermann and his attention to craft, gives context to Westermann’s complex role as an unpretentious father figure to American conceptual and pop artists.
