CHATWIN, Bruce (Sheffield, 1940 - Nizza, 1989)
Bruce Chatwin. Photographs and Notebooks
Un estratto dal diario di Bruce Chatwin. Fotografie a colori e una in bianco e nero . 8vo (cm 26x29,5). pp. 16. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . In words and pictures unexplored places and people are brought alive &ndash; Nouakchott shanty towns, Moorish travellers, Nepalese temples &ndash; and the formal simplicity and perfection of their worlds portrayed. Lyrically and concisely he evokes the vertiginous splendour of the shrine of Ansari and mudbrick granaries in Mali, the gostly desolation of Mauretania, flower-filled gardens in Afghanistan. In November Cape will publish a selection of these for the first time, designed by David King and with an introduction by Francis Wyndham. As the following pages show, it is a breathtaking book, hugely imaginative and, like all of Chattwin's work, wholly original.

Chaubin Frédéric
CCCP. Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed. Ediz. inglese, francese e tedesca
ill., ril. Elected the architectural book of the year by the International Artbook and Film Festival in Perpignan, France, Frédéric Chaubin's Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed explores 90 buildings in 14 former Soviet Republics. Each of these structures expresses what Chaubin considers the fourth age of Soviet architecture, an unknown burgeoning that took place from 1970 until 1990. Contrary to the 1920s and 1950s, no "school" or main trend emerges here. These buildings represent a chaotic impulse brought about by a decaying system. Taking advantage of the collapsing monolithic structure, architects went far beyond modernism, going back to the roots or freely innovating. Some of the daring ones completed projects that the Constructivists would have dreamt of (Druzhba Sanatorium, Yalta), others expressed their imagination in an expressionist way (Palace of Weddings, Tbilisi). A summer camp, inspired by sketches of a prototype lunar base, lays claim to Suprematist influence (Prometheus youth camp, Bogatyr). Then comes the "speaking architecture" widespread in the last years of the USSR: a crematorium adorned with concrete flames (Crematorium, Kiev), a technological institute with a flying saucer crashed on the roof (Institute of Scientific Research, Kiev), a political center watching you like Big Brother (House of Soviets, Kaliningrad). In their puzzle of styles, their outlandish strategies, these buildings are extraordinary remnants of a collapsing system.In their diversity and local exoticism, they testify both to the vast geography of the USSR and its encroaching end of the Soviet Union, the holes in a widening net. At the same time, they immortalize many of the ideological dreams of the country and its time, from an obsession with the cosmos to the rebirth of identity. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact, friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.

Chaubin Frédéric
CCCP. Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed. Ediz. inglese, francese e tedesca
ill., br. Il fotografo Frédéric Chaubin ci mostra 90 edifici situati in ex repubbliche sovietiche che esprimono ciò che può essere considerato come la quarta età dell'architettura sovietica. Testimoniano infatti, l'inaspettata rinascita dell'immaginazione che ebbe luogo fra gli anni '70 e il 1990. In quel periodo contrariamente a quanto successe negli anni '20 e '30 non emerse nessun tipo di "scuola". Sono edifici la cui architettura esprime più che altro il nuovo impulso caotico che nasceva da un sistema in disfacimento. Gli architetti approfittando del crollo della struttura monolitica, si diedero ad esplorare periodi e stili risalendo alle radici o semplicemente creando e innovando. Alcuni dei più audaci completarono i progetti solo sognati dai Construttivisti, altri preferirono l'espressionismo. Nacque così un puzzle di stili che rappresentava tutte le ossessioni di quel difficile periodo: l'ossessione per il cosmo, la rinascita della proprietà privata. Testimonia anche della varietà della geografia URSS e della sua evidente influenza sul gigante sovietico prima del definitivo decesso.
