Visions of Victoria: The Magic of Kodachrome (HB) by Nick Anchen

$69.99 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: Art & Photography

Melbourne underwent great changes in the decades following World War II, with rapid population growth and mass migration during the 1950s and ‘60s forever altering the face of the city. Despite the changes, Melbourne in this period was often considered to be idyllic, with an ease of life, and a strong sporting and social culture. Kodachrome 35 mm film became commercially available in Australia in the early 1950s, and with its vibrant colours and grainless quality, it rapidly became the film of choice for many photographers. Melbourne, with its wide, tree-lined streets and fabulous 1880s architecture, was a natural subject for photographers of the period. So too were regional cities such as Ballarat and Bendigo, along with many of the state’s attractive country towns and picturesque rural landscapes. Visions of Victoria is a journey back in time to a very different place with red trains and green trams, Moomba parades, FJ Holdens and men wearing hats viewed through the wonders of Kodachrome, the world’s most beautiful film. Features: The Kodachrome Story, Melbourne Street Scenes Melbourne’s Architecture 1954 Royal Visit 1956 Olympic Games Flinders Street station Melbourne Cricket Ground The 1972 Melbourne Flood Moomba parades Melbourne Suburbs, Ballarat, Bendigo and Country Victoria Plus features on Melbourne’s railways, tramways, shipping and aviation A journey back in time to a very different Victoria viewed in majestic living colour through the wonders of Kodachrome, the world’s most beautiful film. ...Show more

Camp - Notes on Fashion by Andrew Bolton; Fabio Cleto (Contribution by); Karen van Godtsenhoven (Contribution by); Amanda Garfinkel (Contribution by)

$94.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Art & Photography

Drawing from Susan Sontag's seminal essay, this striking volume explores the meaning of camp and its expression in fashion from its origins to today Although an elusive concept, "camp" can be found in most forms of artistic expression, revealing itself through an aesthetic of deliberate stylization. Fas hion is one of the most overt and enduring conduits of the camp aesthetic. As a site for the playful dynamics between high art and popular culture, fashion both embraces and expresses such camp modes of enactment as irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration. Drawing from Susan Sontag's seminal essay "Notes on Camp," the book explores how fashion designers have used their m tier as a vehicle to engage with the camp aesthetic in compelling, humorous, and sometimes incongruous ways. As a sartorial manifestation of the camp sensibility, this thought-provoking publication contributes new theoretical and conceptual insights into the camp canon through texts and images. Stunning new photography by Johnny Dufort highlights works by such fashion designers as Virgil Abloh, Thom Browne, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Alessandro Michele, Franco Moschino, Miuccia Prada, Richard Quinn, Yves Saint Laurent, Elsa Schiaparelli, Jeremy Scott, Anna Sui, Gianni Versace, and Vivienne Westwood. ...Show more

Klimt and Antiquity: Erotic Encounters by Stella Rollig; Tobias G. Natter

$105.00 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Art & Photography

Exploring an intriguing aspect of the artist's work, this book examines Gustav Klimt's fascination with the ancient world. Gustav Klimt's 1907 publication of his illustrated edition of Lucian's ancient work Dialogues of the Courtesans was the first time he exhibited his erotic art to the public, and it led to his denouncement by censors disturbed by the work's graphic content. This volume revives Klimt's masterful book, which pairs his erotic drawings with Wiener Werkst tte design, and which arguably resulted in the Art Nouveau era's most beautiful book. Klimt and Antiquity also compares the red- and black figure Attic vases dating from the 5th century with Klimt's art. It presents Klimt's antiquity-inspired art as a dialogue between contemporary and ancient art, between genders, and between women's roles in times of antiquity and modernity. Essays explore Klimt's interest in ancient art; the ancient role of the courtesan; and the phenomenon of the Greek symposium as fertile ground for Greek art. ...Show more

Featherston by Geoff Issac; Nic Bailey

$75.00 AUD

Category: Architecture & Design

This is the first book to celebrate the life and work of Grant Featherston (1922-1995), the Melbourne-based industrial designer best-known for his Contour chairs. This collection was designed and developed in the early 1950s and remains highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors in Australia a nd overseas - often fetching $10,000 or more at auction. Featherston, later joined by his second wife, Mary, designed hundreds of chairs over the next thirty years; however, this astonishing Australian industrial design partnership has gone largely uncelebrated until now. Featherston focuses on the chairs produced between 1947 and 1975 and presents a new biography of the designer, drawn from archival research and interviews with his peers. It is extensively illustrated with over 250 beautiful photographs and includes a selection from the previously unpublished personal archive of Ian Howard, the former Managing Director of Melbourne-based manufacturer Aristoc. ...Show more
