Glaser’s work ranges from the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster to book and record covers; from store and restaurant design to toy creations; and magazine formats including New York magazine and logotypes, all of which define the look of our time.

Mugler is a fashion revolutionary, but his creative powers also extend to photography. The French fashion designer has masterfully shot his most significant creations throughout his career. Illustrated with 144 photographs from his captivating personal collection, including both iconic and neverbefore-published images, this lavishly produced book proves that Mugler’s spectacularly bold work is best captured by the creator’s own singular photography. Manfred Thierry Mugler is a legendary fashion designer, creating iconic ready-to-wear and haute couture collections since 1974. Mugler also works as a photographer, director, choreographer, and perfumer.

oris Morros was a major figure in the 1930s and ’40s. The head of music at Paramount, nominated for Academy Awards, he then went on to produce his own films with Laurel and
Hardy, Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, and others. But as J. Edgar Hoover would discover, these successes were a cover for one of the most incredible espionage tales in the history of the Cold War— Boris Morros also worked for Russian intelligence. Morros’s assignments took him to the White House, the Vatican, and deep behind the iron curtain.
The high-level intel he provided the KGB included military secrets and compromising information on prominent Americans: his friends. But in 1947, Morros flipped. At the height of the McCarthy era, he played a leading role in a deadly tale. Jonathan Gill’s Hollywood Double Agent is an extraordinary story about Russian spies at the heart of American culture and politics, and one man caught in the middle of the Cold War. Jonathan Gill is a professor of American history and culture at the University of Amsterdam, formerly on the faculties of Columbia, CCNY, Fordham, and the Manhattan School of Music. He has written for the New York Times, the Village Voice, The Nation, the Guardian, and other publications. He divides his time between New York City and Amsterdam.

or more than 25 years, surgeon David Nott has volunteered in some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. From Sarajevo under siege in 1993 to clandestine hospitals in
rebel‑held eastern Aleppo, he has carried out lifesaving operations in the most challenging
conditions, and with none of the resources of a major metropolitan hospital. He is now widely acknowledged as the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world. War Doctor is his extraordinary story, encompassing his surgeries in nearly every major conflict zone since the end of the Cold War, as well as his struggles to return to a “normal” life and routine after each trip. Culminating in his recent trips to war-torn Syria— and the untold story of his efforts to help secure a humanitarian corridor out of besieged Aleppo to evacuate some 50,000 people—War Doctor is a heart-stopping and moving blend of medical memoir, personal journey, and nonfiction thriller that provides unforgettable, at times raw, insight into the human toll of war. David Nott is a consultant surgeon, specializing in general and vascular surgery. He has also volunteered to work in disaster and war zones for over two decades. He lives in London.

t age 36, while serving on a jury, author Molly Wizenberg found herself drawn to a female attorney she hardly knew. Married to a man for nearly a decade and mother to a toddler,
Wizenberg tried to return to her life as she knew it, but something inside her had changed irredeemably. Instead, she would discover that the trajectory of our lives is rarely as smooth or as logical as we’d like to believe. Like many of us, Wizenberg had long understood sexual orientation as a stable part of ourselves: we’re “born this way.” Suddenly she realized that her story was more complicated. Who was she, she wondered, if something at her very core could change so radically? The Fixed Stars is a taut, electrifying memoir exploring timely and timeless questions about desire, identity, and the limits and possibilities of family. In honest and searing prose, Wizenberg forges a new path: through the murk of separation and divorce, coming out to family and friends, learning to co-parent a young child, and realizing a new vision of love. The result is a frank and moving story about letting go of rigid definitions and ideals that no longer fit, and learning instead who we really are. Molly Wizenberg is the author of two bestselling books, A Homemade Life and Delancey, and the James Beard Award– winning blog Orangette. She has written for the Washington Post, the Guardian, Saveur, and Bon Appétit, and she also cohosts the podcast Spilled Milk. With chef Brandon Pettit, Wizenberg cofounded the award-winning Seattle restaurants Delancey and Essex.

entire life. But his parents’ enthusiasm for “just being honest” bordered on extreme. After Michael graduated high school and left home, truth telling—in job interviews, on dates, in social interactions—slowly lost its luster. When the only woman who ever appreciated his honesty brought this radical approach to truth into their relationship, Michael decided it was time to embrace the power of lying. To Be Honest is a quirky, tender, and wry story of a man discovering what it means and how it feels to lie in one’s daily life.

himself disillusioned by the difficulty of effecting change—he could heal the sick but not address the conditions causing the illness in the first place. So he became the health commissioner for Detroit, and then went into politics, running for governor of Michigan in 2018. In Healing Politics, El-Sayed traces the life of a young idealist—the child of immigrants, an academic overachiever—and the field he loves, showing how epidemiologists have worked to find what causes us harm and stop it. Weaving together personal stories and fascinating forays into history and science, El-Sayed uses his unique perspective to diagnose the epidemic of uncertainty facing Americans and to lay out a direction for the progressive movement. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, public health expert, and progressive activist. He was appointed health director of Detroit at 30 years old. He’s a former professor at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. He holds a doctorate in public health from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, and a medical degree from Columbia University.

In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story.

ow did we get from an age of dignified nightly news broadcasts on three national networks to the age of 24-hour channels and constantly breaking news? The answer—thanks to Ted Turner
and an oddball cast of cable television visionaries, big league rejects, and nonunion newbies—can be found in the basement of an abandoned country club in Atlanta. Because it was there, in the summer of 1980, that this motley crew somehow, against all odds, launched CNN. Lisa Napoli’s Up All Night is an entertaining inside look at the founding of the upstart network that set out to change the way news was delivered and consumed. Mixing media history, a business adventure story, and great characters, Up All Night tells the story of a network that succeeded beyond even the wildest imaginings of its charismatic and uncontrollable founder, and paved the way for the world we live in today. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Lisa Napoli began her career as an unpaid teenage intern at CNN’s New York bureau in the summer of 1981. As a journalist, she has worked at the New York Times, Marketplace, MSNBC, and KCRW. She is the author of two previous books, Radio Shangri-La and Ray & Joan. She lives in Los Angeles.

Featuring a new introduction and a new afterword by the author, never-beforeseen photos, and a new chapter from the author’s daughter, Molly, this gripping account presents a remarkable examination of obsession, intrigue, and the darkness that love can mask. Elizabeth Kendall’s memoir, The Phantom Prince, was originally published in 1981. Molly Kendall, her daughter, considered Bundy a father figure between the ages of three and ten.

fter a ferocious storm shipwrecks young Norwegian sailor Hans Lyngstrand in the English
Channel near Dengate, aspiring journalist Martin Bridges takes a job at the local newspaper.
When Hans moves into Martin’s boardinghouse to convalesce and Martin interviews the young sailor for the paper, it upends Martin’s otherwise uneventful world. Hans tells him of the shipwreck—and of his encounter with a vicious sailor vowing to seek revenge, who Hans believes may still be alive. So begins a complex friendship between the two young men that will cause Martin to reexamine his relationships with everyone around him. In The Stranger from the Sea, the backstories Paul Binding creates for the characters of Ibsen’s classic The Lady from the Sea unfold in tandem with the secret romances, rivalries, and heartaches of a seemingly unremarkable town. The result is a lyrical and quietly captivating novel that will mesmerize readers from its opening pages. Paul Binding is a literary critic, novelist, and a renowned expert in Scandinavian literature. Among his books are studies of Ibsen, Lorca, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Hans Christian Andersen.

maybe not so much . . . Mina is standing on the George Washington Bridge late at night, staring over the edge, when a patrol car drives up. She tries to convince the policeman she’s not about to jump, but he doesn’t believe her. Oscar is called to pick her up. With the idea of leaving New York for London—a place for Mina “to learn the floorplan of this sadness”—Oscar arranges a move. In London, Mina, a classicist, tries grappling with her mental
health issues by making lists. Of WOMEN WHO SURVIVED—Penelope, Psyche, Leda. Iphigenia, but only in one of the tellings. Of things that make her HAPPY—enamel coffee cups. But what else? She at last finds a beam of light in Phoebe, and friendship and attraction blossom until Oscar and Mina’s complicated love is tested. A gorgeously wrought novel, variously about love, mythology, mental illness, Japanese beer, and the times we need to seek out milder psychological climates, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan’s Starling Days— written in exquisite prose rich with lightly ironic empathy—is a complex and compelling work of fiction by a singularly gifted young writer. Rowan Hisayo Buchanan is an American and British writer. She received her BA from Columbia and her MFA from University of Wisconsin– Madison. Her first novel, Harmless Like You, was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and NPR Great Read. Her work has appeared in Granta, Guernica, the Guardian, and the Paris Review.

startling and boundary-pushing novel, Untold Night and Day tells the story of a young woman’s journey through Seoul over the course of a night and a day. It’s 28-year-old
Ayami’s final day at her box-office job in Seoul’s audio theater. Her night is spent walking the sweltering streets of the city with her former boss in search of Yeoni, their missing elderly friend,

and her day is spent looking after a mysterious, visiting poet. Their conversations take in art, love, food, and the inaccessible country to the north. Almost immediately, in the heat of Seoul at the height of the summer, order gives way to chaos as the edges of reality start to fray, with Ayami becoming an unwitting escort into a fever-dream of increasingly tangled threads, all the while images of the characters’ overlapping realities repeat, collide, change, and reassert themselves in this masterful work that upends the very structure of fiction and narrative storytelling and burns itself upon the soul of the reader. By one of the boldest and most innovative voices in contemporary Korean literature, and brilliantly realized in English by translator Deborah Smith, Suah’s hypnotic and original novel asks whether more than one version of ourselves can exist at once, demonstrating the malleable nature of reality as we know it. Bae Suah is an acclaimed contemporary Korean author and translator. The author of more than 12 novels and collections of short stories, Suah was longlisted for the PEN Translation Prize and the Best Translated Book Award for her first book to in English, Nowhere to be Found. Deborah Smith is a translator of Korean literature whose translation of Han Kang’s The Vegetarian became the first Korean-language novel to win the Man Booker International Prize. She has translated two other books by Bae Suah, Recitation and A Greater Music.

usan Hill stuns readers once again in The Benefit of Hindsight, the 10th book in her celebrated mystery series. Now recuperated after the violent incident that cost him his arm—and nearly his
life—DCS Serrailler has returned to work, though he prefers to spend his spare time sketching the
medieval angels being restored on the cathedral roof. With crime rates down, Lafferton has been quiet, until one night when two men open their front door to a distressing scene. Serrailler makes a serious error of judgment when handling the incident, and the stress of this, combined with the ongoing trauma of losing his arm, takes its toll. In the tradition of the fabulous mysteries of Ruth Rendell and P. D. James, The Benefit of Hindsight is Susan Hill’s best work yet—a chilling new addition to a highly acclaimed series. Susan Hill’s novels and short stories have won the Whitbread Book, Somerset Maugham, and John Llewellyn Rhys awards and the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year and have been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

ast-talking, backstabbing, womanizing, and fiercely ambitious art critic James Figueras will do anything—blackmail, burglary, and beyond—to make a name for himself. When an unscrupulous
collector offers Figueras a career-making chance to interview Jacques Debierue, the greatest living—
and most reclusive—artist, the critic must decide how far he will go to become the art-world celebrity he hungers to be. Will Figueras stop at the opportunity to skim some cream for himself or push beyond morality’s limits to a bigger payoff? Crossing the art world with the underworld, Willeford creates a novel of dark hue and high aesthetic polish. The Burnt Orange Heresy—the 1970s crime classic now back in print—has lost none of its savage delights as it re-creates the making of a murderer, calmly and with exquisite tension, while satirizing the workings of the art world as the ultimate con.

stylish streetwear as much as tie-dye. Dead Style is a book

This book, visually driven and heavily captioned, is a look book for current Deadhead culture.

CHAPTER 2 A state of mind: lonely or alone? To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. Without it, one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself and finds no one at home.

HOW TO ENJOY TIME ALONE
CHAPETR 4 Introspection: building your inner being
At our hands lie a wealth of activities we can partake on our own such as watching a film at a local theatre, to cooking at home, or going on day excursions to new and exciting places. It may seem intimidating at first, but the thrill of mastering or discovering something new may eventually overtake any apprehension. One Canadian woman I spoke with used to plan trips with her friends. Over time, she realised while she enjoyed their company, she came to the conclusion that not only did traveling as a group slow her down, she also realised it was difficult to enjoy spending time with her close friends within the context of these new, often foreign environments. In fact, she decided it was healthier for her friendships if they did not travel together. Three years ago, she began planning trips on her own. At first, she drove out to country parks for day excursions; soon, she began visiting new cities where she explored her surroundings exactly in the way she wanted. She went to bars, restaurants, joined groups and made so lots of new friends in these places. By the end of it, she realised she enjoyed traveling alone so much that she began backpacking across entire continents in search of discovering new cultures, languages and places as well as new parts of herself. For most of us, learning to enjoy your time alone is not something that happens overnight (I confess I am still working on this too). Like a hobby or interest, it takes time to foster and develop into a full-fledged affinity.

Getting lost was not a matter of geography so much as identity, a passionate desire, even an urgent need, to become no one and anyone, to shake off the shackles that remind you who you are, who others think you are.

Adventure: embracing solo activities
Starting small The beauty of starting out an activity alone is that it doesn’t mean staying alone. Going out and doing something new on your own often becomes a wonderful way to meet others who share similar interests or more people from all walks of life. While it may still seem overwhelming at first, I recommend starting small with activities: a a a a a

Next, you can look to bigger or longer tasks. a Go to the beach, or nearby park for an entire day trip. a Head to a volunteering event and donate your time or expertise. a Sign up for dance classes. a Go to a museum or gallery opening (and meet others). a Visit a local pub with your book. Or try things that might be a bit nerve-wracking at first (but it pays off). a Go to a bar or pub alone with no book. a Go for dinner alone at a casual restaurant. a Go to an amusement park. a Watch a movie in a theatre. a Go to a concert.

E SXSW D’AUSTIN EST UN FESTIVAL DE PREMIÈRE IMPORTANCE, CONSACRÉ À TROIS DOMAINES CONSIDÉRÉS COMME COMPLÉMENTAIRES : LE CINÉMA, LA MUSIQUE ET LES TECHNOLOGIES INTERACTIVES. L’ÉVÉNEMENT POSSÈDE UNE CLASSE FOLLE, JUSQUE DANS SON INTITULÉ.
Il est baptisé « South by Southwest »
en référence évidemment à sa position géographique, mais aussi et surtout en clin d’œil au North by Northwest d’Alfred Hitchcock. Gens de goût, les organisateurs ont demandé à Laurent Durieux de réaliser l’affiche de leur édition de mars 2019. En observant le résultat, on mesure combien celui-ci est capable de s’investir dans un travail de pure commande. L’enjeu consistait à synthétiser les trois axes majeurs du festival
tout en racontant autre chose à travers la compositionde l’affiche. En convoquant l’imaginaire de la science-fiction, Laurent Durieux parvient à y incarner le cinéma. Cette mise en scène d’une invasion extra-terrestre avec soucoupes volantes estampillées 1950’s est tout droit issue de l’âge d’or des séries B. Même la rue d’Austin rappelle un univers urbain familier au cinéma américain de
210
211
cette époque, intemporel, dénué des scories d’une modernité aseptisée. L’OVNI du premier plan, celui qui heurte l’immeuble, laisse plus précisément voir le dessous du vaisseau : c’est un monumental haut-parleur d’enceinte. Cet inconnu qui vient d’ailleurs, c’est donc la musique, qu’on imagine aussi puissante que dévastatrice. Ce n’est pas un hasard si l’une d’elle brise un mur, référence au Wall of Sound spectorien. Dans la profondeur de l’image, une série de guirlandes lumineuses sont tendues de part et d’autre de la rue, enroulées à des arbres. Voilà pour l’atmosphère festive du festival, dans la plus pure tradition anglo-saxonne, à la fois élégante et chaleureuse. Et puis, il y a ce personnage, au milieu de la rue. On comprend qu’il roulait dans un véhicule monoplace très rétrofuturiste, quand les débris du mur se sont répandus sur le sol devant lui. Il est alors sorti de son engin et s’est écarté pour mieux voir la cause de l’accident évité de justesse. En y regardant mieux, on s’aperçoit que le personnage porte des lunettes de réalité virtuelle. Le tableau est donc complet : tout s’imbrique pour définir l’identité de SXSW. Mais surtout, ce personnage détient la clé d’un twist qui nous amène dans une autre dimension. S’il porte des lunettes de réalité virtuelle, comment peut-il voir ce qui l’entoure ? Et comment pouvait-il conduire en les ayant devant les yeux ? Une seule réponse s’impose avec évidence : nous voyons ce que le personnage voit à travers le prisme de son casque, si bien que rien dans l’affiche, mis à part le protagoniste lui-même, n’existe vraiment. Ce que nous voyons, c’est la

– une carte postale de villégiature. La palette utilisée, l’orange, le jaune et le bleu, ravive dans l’œil le souvenir des publicités de Bernard Villemot, en particulier celles réalisées

La manière de Laurent Durieux est iconique. Il lui suffit de réinvestir un signe, un seul, et toute la mémoire du film remonte à la surface. Nul besoin pour lui de montrer le requin, ni même de

Ainsi, à sa surface affleure l’art de la suggestion, comme un requin invisible sous l’eau mais à la présence sourde et pesante. Et puis, le dessinateur rejoint Spielberg sur un point précis : une certaine peinture acide de la société des loisirs, enivrée d’ellemême, faisant passer ses propres caprices, gouvernés par la loi de l’argent et de la popularité,

rom his Snow Yak to his very personal interpretation of the Californian bear, for more than 20 years Mark Ryden has populated an incredible Pop Surrealist bestiary of half-animal/half-plush
creatures. Freely inspired by the Rushton toys that enjoyed their heyday in America in the '60s and
'70s, these creatures have achieved cult status among fans of the artist, and are one of his marks of distinction in the world of contemporary art. This incredible 20-portrait showcase presents Ryden’s multiple references to the great masters and traditional portrait artists. Each piece reveals new interpretations of his iconic and favorite creatures, but also exclusive characters created especially for this gallery. This book explores the origins and meaning behind his creatures, revealing the importance that this bestiary occupies in his universe. Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, Pop Surrealism. Gallerie Perrotin is a comtemporary art gallery that represents notable artists such as Takashi Murakami, KAWS, Sophie Calle, and Aya Takano, among others.

CROSS-HATCHING For a bold geometric cross-hatching study, I’m using hatch marks to define the fur in this geometric tiger face. Start by outlining the forms that need additional definition like the eyes and nose. Then fill in the forms, one color at a time. I worked from the central features outward, layering the black, yellow, and grey of the eyes, then the pink, black and grey of the nose and mouth. Work outward around the face, and finish off with the ears. I created the fur with large, loose hatch marks that vary across the face to push contrast. I used smaller, tighter hatch marks to define areas that are not fur like the nose and mouth. Touch up any rough spots to finalize your art.

TIP When exploring cross-hatching you will find that some colors layer better then others. Additionally, the order in which these tones are placed can make a huge difference in their appearance. This is because colored pencils work a bit differently then many other mediums; Layering lights over darks tends to create a better effect. For example, when producing the grey stripped swatch with Spanish Orange and Pink details I striped the grey on first and added the pink and orange over top which pops the colors.

CROSS-HATCHING A slightly more complex version of hatching is cross-hatching. This is simply layering the hatch marks on top of each other at different angles. Start by using a single color for both layers. Lay down one row of lines and then change your angle and apply lines over top. This can be done using raged marks (as in the orange swatch), broken marks (as in the black swatch), or continues marks (as in the red swatch). Test every approach you can think of!

MULTI-COLOR CROSS-HATCHING Next, let’s try crosshatching with multiple colors. Consider your palette and design before starting to sketch. Try making contrasting stripped patterns along with organic flowing designs, like the samples shown here. Working with one color at a time, fill in your swatch with each layer of cross-hatching.

Who are your “It Girls,” your influencers, the bold ones who always seem to be pointing towards the future?
9 781419 741418 CLARA BOW The “It Girl” Appears in Vanity Fair In 1928, movie star Clara Gordon Bow, nicknamed the “It* Girl”, was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair gleefully wearing a bathing suit that exposes her shoulders and legs. To many, this cover was utterly scandalous and indecent. Yet other young women happily followed her example: shorter skirts, smaller bathing suits, more bare skin. Bow’s bold pose and even bolder garment perfectly encapsulate the audacity and new-found freedom that many women felt in the 1920s.

WONDER WOMAN
A superhero. A goddess. A feminist icon. Introduced by DC comics during World War II, Wonder Woman uses her superhuman strength and speed, bulletproof bracelets, and awesome Golden Lasso of Truth to fight evil while bringing a message of peace and love to the world. Inspired by burgeoning feminism and the writings of Margaret Sanger, Wonder Woman was the brainchild of psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston, who set out to create a powerful heroine who embodied feminist ideals.

1973: Billie Jean King and the Battle of the Sexes Former top-ranking tennis player and self-proclaimed chauvinist Bobby Riggs met his match in 1973, when he challenged Billie Jean King (b. 1943), then the world’s number one ranked female tennis player, to a televised game. The match set the record for the largest tennis audience and the largest prize awarded—which went to King. The first prominent female athlete to come out as bisexual and to win the Presidential Medal of Freedom, King is an advocate for gender equality and helped found the Women’s Tennis Association.

COLOR-BLOCKED CITYSCAPES 6o minutes
Courtney Cerruti is an artist, educator, video producer, curator, and executive content editor at Creativebug.com.
The concept behind the Simple Strokes Landscape exercise works for cityscapes as well, although you may need to take more time to add a layer of architectural detail. Making art may seem daunting when you’re in the middle of an urban setting, especially when you are enthralled by all of the activity surrounding you. You may find it easier to capture the scene later, working from a photo. Before you start, take a minute to decide what you want to include and what you will ignore. In this case, I wanted to focus on London’s iconic red double-decker bus against the gothic revival backdrop of St. Pancras Station. The fact that there are actually two buses, cars, bikes, and people in the picture is immaterial!

Begin by squinting and identifying large blocks of color. Lay in the colors with watercolor or a brush marker, leaving a sliver of white space between color blocks. Allow each layer to dry before moving on to the next. Happy accidents may still occur, like the bit of red bleeding into the gray, as you see here.
Next, identify the main horizontal or vertical lines running through these blocks of color. Some lines may be thin, like the edge of a bank of windows or the curb of a street, while others may be thick, like a roof across the top of a building or a large archway. I painted these in a mid-tone gray.
Courtney’s projects have been featured in Flow magazine, Oh Happy Day, Design Sponge, The Jealous Curator, and BuzzFeed, among others. In 2016, she opened Long Weekend, an art supply shop and gallery in Oakland, California.

Identify the next set of color blocks; the smaller ones that represent windows, doors, or other architectural details. I painted these in a darker gray (a mix of Sepia and Ultramarine Blue). Try not to get bogged down in accuracy—it is amazing what a gesture will capture!
Finally, allow yourself to indulge in the details that excite you and make this place special. I took some artistic license and added little red flags to this castle-like structure. I also put in another layer of shadows to define the windows. Jot down the location of your sketch to help you recall your experience. TH E R E ’ S A LWAYS TI M E • 51

Water is sensitive to anything that it comes into contact with and is able to change form to move around obstacles. This gives the pliable, formless quality that the snake type embodiesa ble to take whatever shape a situation demands. Snake types are associated with the dramatic arts and dance. They dont experience the world logically but rather feel their way intuitively. They are sensitive to the realms of the unconscious and the imagination; the path which is spiritual, artistic, expressive, or nurturing, rather than the logical, practical one. Water types are often drawn to the underworld of the divining arts and magical practices; the world of crystals, wicca, superstition, and tarot.
The waterpalme d person is known as the snake personality as it gives a highly fl e xible, adaptable approach to life. Water types are deep, dramatic souls, drawn to anything related to mystery, dreams, the arts, imagination, and escapism. Often enigmatic and with a sensuous, fl u id way of moving, the snake personality is fascinated by relationships, feelings, the inner world, and responses. Men with this type of palm have a strongly feminine side and water people in general almost always wear their hair long. Relationships dominate their life view and they are able to wriggle their way into anothers affections ffections by being highly responsive to ff others needs.

the World quadrant, concerning other people, and the public stage (found under the pinky digit), and the Tower quadrant, which is about personal power and sense of self (under the first finger). When you take a print of a palm, get into the habit of immediately drawing the quadrants on it, until you are completely familiar with the quadrants and can judge precisely where they are. Some people have enlarged quadrants and this gives certain natural tendencies which we shall investigate as we go through them individually.
The palm is split into four zones or quadrants. Markings or lines only relate to the quadrant they’re found on. To work out the quadrants, use a ruler and draw a line vertically downward from the middle of the middle finger to the slight hollow found at the middle base of the palm (the cusp). Then bisect this line with one drawn across the palm from the midpoint between the thumb joining point and the base of the index finger. This will give you four (slightly unequal) sections. The quadrants are: the Primal quadrant, relating to the home, body, and family (in the area nearest the thumb); the Sea quadrant, relating to the sea of the subconscious (found in the bottom corner opposite the thumb);

n this lavishly illustrated, elegantly written volume, John E. Bowlt sheds new light on Russia’s Silver Age, the period of artistic
renaissance that flourished as Imperial Russia’s power waned.
Much of the creative energy could be attributed to the Symbolist movement, whose proponents sought to transcend the barriers of bourgeois civility and whose unconventional lifestyles led some critics to label them Decadents and Degenerates. But, as Sergei Diaghilev declared, theirs was not a moral or artistic decline, but a voyage of inner discovery and a reinvention of a national culture. Bowlt’s richly textured volume focuses not only on Russia’s bestknown artists from this period—Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, Igor Stravinsky, Anna Pavlova, and poet Anna Akhmatova—but also on lesser-known movements of the day—experimental theater, Nikolai Kalmakov’s innovative painting, and the free dance practiced by followers of Duncan and Dalcroze. John E. Bowlt is a specialist in Russian art history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and has authored books on Symbolism, the avant-garde, and Socialist Realism. He has curated or cocurated numerous exhibitions and is professor emeritus of Slavic languages and literature at USC.

n Britain the term ‘watercolour’ is only too often considered as little more than a synonym for the technique of landscape painting in transparent wash developed between the 1770s and the 1850s by J.R. Cozens, Thomas Girtin, J.S. Cotman and J.M.W. Turner. Analogous earlier works, notably those made around 1500 by Albrecht Dürer or over a century later by Anthony Van Dyck are typically regarded as harbingers of this ‘classic’ English method, while images in opaque ‘body colour’, including those in illuminated manuscripts, are dismissed as not ‘true’ watercolours. This distinction is artificial and unhelpful, as watercolour is actually a medium - pigment dissolved in water and bound with a sticky agent - which has been practiced in various ways since classical antiquity throughout the world, from Han Dynasty China to Aztec Mexico. Moreover, some illuminators employed translucent wash and others opaque pigments, or used both together, as did Dürer and even the canonical English watercolourists mentioned above. The present exhibition will explore the portrayal in water-based media during the Renaissance of scenery and places, plants and animals, and people: three portentous genres which reached as far afield as the New World and the court of the Mughal emperor. Watercolours at South Kensington As the Victoria and Albert Museum is home to the national collections of watercolours and portrait miniatures, it provides an especially apt venue for such a revisionist project. The museum’s origins lie in the Great Exhibition at London in 1851, which was followed by the Exposition Universelle at Paris in 1855.

A
ubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) is best remembered for his powerful illustrations for Salomé by Oscar Wilde.
Spanning just seven years, his intense, prolific career as a draftsman and illustrator was cut short when he died at the age of 25. His subversive black-and-white drawings and his complex persona became synonymous with decadence: He alighted on the perverse and erotic aspects of life and legend, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humor and fascination with the grotesque. His keen observation of his contemporaries makes him of his time, but his distinct style has resonated with subsequent generations. A major influence on the development of Art Nouveau, and on psychedelic pop culture and design in the late 1960s, Beardsley’s drawings remain a key reference for many artists today. Here, short essays on aspects of Beardsley’s remarkable career complement reproductions of his fascinating work. Stephen Calloway is an independent art historian, curator, and Beardsley scholar.

nderstanding photographs has never been easy. Many photographs—including some of the best known—were
not taken with a clear idea in mind. And even if they were, the idea was soon overlooked or forgotten. In this profusely illustrated book, Ian Jeffrey hands us the tools to decode key photographs. By giving the reader the necessary biographical
and historical information, the author helps us to fully understand photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, Cindy Sherman, Rinko Kawauchi, Nan Goldin, Thomas Ruff, Dorothea Lange, Bill Brandt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, Diane Arbus, and László MoholyNagy, among others. At the same time, readers explore an overview of the history of photography by looking at one image at a time. Each entry includes a concise biography along with an illuminating discussion of the works and relevant contextual information. Ian Jeffrey is an English writer and art historian. He has written several books about photography, most notably the photography volume for Thames & Hudson’s World of Art series and Phaidon’s The Photography Book.

t 16, bivouacked on a mountainside beneath a sky filled with stars, Jean-Marc Rochette has already begun measuring
himself against some of Europe’s highest peaks. The Aiguille Dibona, the Coup de Sabre, La Meije: The summits of the Massif des écrins in the French Alps, to which he escapes as a teenager, spark both
exhilaration and fear. At times, they are a playground for adventure. At others, they are a battlefield. The young climber is acutely aware that death lurks in the frozen corridors of this Alpine range. In Altitude, Rochette tells the story of his formative years, as a climber and as an artist. Part coming-of-age story, part love letter to the Alps, this autobiographical graphic novel captures the thrill and the terror invoked by high mountains, and considers one man’s obsession with reaching the top of them. Jean-Marc Rochette is a French comic book artist. He is the creator of numerous graphic novels, including Snowpiercer, which was adapted into an acclaimed film.
