BIRGITTA DE VOS: OMNIPRESENT - BEYOND BORDERS"Cuore per la terra, l'arte di essere- è stato il titolo provvisorio iniziale di questo libro. Il processo creativo è iniziato con il desiderio di toccare terra in un mondo che si sta trasformando esponenzialmente. Un bisogno di riflettere sull'essenza di essere umani sulla terra mentre noi abusiamo, distruggiamo e inquiniamo il pianeta per il nostro bene personale. Ho viaggiato in luoghi lontani e vicini. Volando sopra il meraviglioso mondo, la terra mi ha mostrato il suo splendore. Ho scoperto che non è il nostro pianeta che ha bisogno di aiuto, ma lo facciamo. Questo libro ti invita a decollare e volare con me sopra la terra. È un'ode alla madre di tutte le cose terrene. Vulnerabile e potente allo stesso tempo è anche un ritorno a casa con un tenero abbraccio. Lei ci invita a rallentare e ad ascoltare la sua antica saggezza. Lei è paziente e generosa. È oltre i confini e onnipresente. Lei è noi e noi siamo uno."

Anni di ricerca e di indagini in Ghana, Togo, Burkina Faso, Mali e Costa d'Avorio hanno consentito all'autore di esplorare a fondo vari aspetti dell'industria tessile di questi Paesi. Cera, tessitura, tintura a bacino, bogolan, adinkra e serigrafia sono alcuni dei temi trattati da Anne Grosfilley, che racconta la storia dei tessuti e descrive il know-how degli artigiani, molti dei quali hanno aggiornato le loro tecniche tradizionali utilizzando materiali industriali, rivisitati poi da designer di haute couture. Lontano da una visione nostalgica di tradizioni in via di estinzione, questo lavoro offre uno sguardo su un'identità in continua evoluzione, che si esprime attraverso una creatività sempre viva. Viene anche esplorato come le relazioni tra Europa e Africa possano essere lette attraverso i tessuti, riflettendo la diversità dei popoli africani, dalle regioni del Sahel a quelle costiere. Il risultato è un ritratto vibrante, ricco di colori e dinamico di uomini e donne che si esprimono attraverso i loro tessuti, con fotografie che enfatizzano l'importanza etnologica di questa testimonianza. 

The definitive book on the legendary photographer's life in New York City, with many never-before-seen images and reminiscences by his closest friends and confidants.   From the 1930s, when he helped revolutionize fashion journalism, through the 1960s, when he launched headlong into the Pop art era, London-based photographer Cecil Beaton brought to New York City his own perspective--aristocratic, sexually ambiguous, and theatrical. At the same time, New York offered Beaton innumerable opportunities to reinvent himself and his career.Cecil Beaton: The New York Years features sketches, costumes, set designs, previously unpublished letters, and over 220 photographs and drawings, many in color and never seen before. This volume documents Beaton's most influential relationships with quintessential figures of the New York art scene, including Greta Garbo, his female confidant and muse, and Andy Warhol. Richly illustrated, Cecil Beaton is the definitive portfolio chronicling Beaton's stunning career in fashion, portraiture, and the performing arts.Beaton in Vogue: Beaton's photography for Condé Nast's Vogue in the 1930s hastened the decline of fashion illustration in favor of today's emphasis on photography. Beaton himself became a celebrity photographer, as famous as his subjects, in the later mold of Richard Avedon and Annie Leibovitz.Beaton and the Stage: After World War II, Beaton appeared on the New York stage as an actor, and he also designed sets and costumes for such musicals as My Fair Lady and Coco and operas Vanessa and La Traviata, both at the Metropolitan Opera. Beaton on New York: Beaton produced many illustrated books on New York City and his tell-all diaries detailed his life among the city's best-known figures. Beaton was also commissioned to produce innumerable photographs of New Yorkers, from Truman Capote to Tom Wolfe.Beaton on Garbo: Greta Garbo was Beaton's closest female friend  She was also his muse, and his photographs captured her in many different scenarios and moods from the mid-1940s, when she ended her Hollywood career and permanently moved to New York.Beaton on Warhol: In 1968, Beaton was advised to photograph a group of young New Yorkers, the most famous of which was Andy Warhol and his Factory. In effect, this photo shoot charted the passing of the torch from Beaton to Warhol, two figures who defined their era's concepts of popular culture, celebrity, and sexual mores.
