After the dominance of the celebrity fashion photographer in the `60s, a new generation of illustrators emerged, embracing the medium of the computer, while many returned to more traditional techniques.

No one in the twentieth century created more instantly recognizable images than Cartier-Bresson. Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was perhaps the finest and most influential image maker of the twentieth century, and his portraits are among his best-known work. Over a fifty year period, he photographed some of the most eminent personalities of the era, as well as ordinary people, chosen as subjects because of their striking and unusual features. In 2003, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, which was created to provide a permanent home for his collected works, opened in Paris. This book is published to coincide with the first exhibition at the Fondation that is drawn entirely from those archives, and it features both well-known images...

Auguste Rodin rose from humble origins to become one of the most influential sculptors of all time, regarded during his life as a Michelangelo of the modern age. The influence of such masterpieces as The Thinker, Eternal Idol, The Kiss and The Burghers of Calais still reverberates today, almost one hundred years after Rodin’s death. Jennifer Gough-Cooper’s interest in photography was sparked by a chance visit to the Hôtel Biron in Paris, Rodin’s eighteenth-century château. There, Rodin’s sculpture inhabits its own environment; light streams in from grand windows, bathing objects in colour and breathing life into the stone. Her photographs reveal soft Impressionist forms with a wonderful painterly quality.

By the time of the great Paris Exhibition of 1925, the idea that an., interior and its furnishing should form a complete design - a `total look` - dominated the thinking of both designers and their sophisticated clients. In the later 1920s and 1930s, whole studios were established, notably in France and the United States, to serve the needs of a design- and style-conscious middle class intent on showing off its newly refined taste for things modern and exotic: the richly lacquered screen, the tubular steel chair, the vivid geometric carpet. "Art Deco Interiors" documents this flourishing of design ingenuity through contemporary photographs and illustrations of selected interiors juxtaposed with modern photographs of individual pieces. It...
