Pop artist, painter of modern life, landscape painter, master of color, explorer of image and perception--for six decades, David Hockney has been known as an artist who always finds new ways of exploring the world and its representational possibilities. He has consistently created unforgettable images: works with graphic lines and integrated text in the Swinging Sixties in London; the famous swimming pool series as a representation of the 1970s California lifestyle; closely observed portraits and brightly colored, oversized landscapes after his eventual return to his native Yorkshire. In addition to drawings in which he transfers what he sees directly onto paper, there are multiperspective Polaroid collages that open up the space into a myriad of detailed views, and iPad drawings in which he captures light using a most modern medium--testaments to Hockney's enduring delight in experimentation.
This special edition has been newly assembled from the two volumes of the David Hockney: A Bigger Book monograph to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary. Hockney's life and work is presented year by year as a dialogue between his works and voices from the time period, alongside reviews and reflections by the artist in a chronological text, supplemented by portrait photographs and exhibition views. Together they open up new perspectives, page after page, revealing how Hockney undertakes his artistic research, how his painting develops, and where he finds inspiration for his multifaceted work.
Les diners de Gala is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of taste ... If you are a disciple of one of those calorie-counters who turn the joys of eating into a form of punishment, close this book at once; it is too lively, too aggressive, and far too impertinent for you.--Salvador Dalí
Food and surrealism make perfect bedfellows: sex and lobsters, collage and cannibalism, the meeting of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dalí and his wife and muse, Gala were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us, Dalí published a cookbook in 1973, Les diners de Gala, which reveals some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings.
This volume features all 136 recipes over 12 chapters, delightfully illustrated by Dalí, and organized by meal courses, including aphrodisiacs. The illustrations and recipes are accompanied by Dalí's extravagant musings on subjects such as dinner conversation: The jaw is our best tool to grasp philosophical knowledge.
All these rich recipes can be cooked at home, although some will require practiced skill and a well-stocked pantry. This is cuisine of the old school, with meals by leading French chefs from such stellar Paris restaurants as Lasserre, La Tour d'Argent, Maxim's, and Le Train Bleu.
Good taste, however voluptuous, never goes out of fashion. In making this exceptionally rare book available to a wide audience, TASCHEN brings an artwork, a practical cookbook, and a multisensory adventure to today's kitchens.
What if you could resolve problems or uncomfortable situations in ways that are meaningful and productive? What if you could learn from them and learn more about yourself in the process? What if doing all these things created a pathway to more equity in our world and more communities of belonging for us all?
Let's face it: we encounter division and differences of opinion more than ever these days. It's not always clear how to move forward in a way that is both healthy and feels good inside, in a way that strengthens our systems, relationships, and selves . . . not erodes them.
The Compassionate Dialogue Journey teaches us how to do that. This workbook is a testament to the transformative force that education, activism, and empathy can have on our lives and communities.
Here, through thoughtful guidance and a series of journaling prompts and activities, best-selling author, speaker, and equity expert Dr. Nancy Dome teaches tools we can use to bolster both our self-regulation and relational skills. You will walk away knowing, Others don't control my feelings or my actions. I am open to making mistakes, giving grace to myself and others, and trying my best to stay engaged each and every day. When I do that, I not only see better outcomes and feel more comfortable solving problems, but I can take better care of myself in the process.
It sounds transformative because it is. And through this workbook, you can have it for yourself.
Calle's seminal 1979 series of people sleeping in her bed: now in English
In one of Sophie Calle's first artistic experiments, she invited friends, acquaintances and strangers to sleep in her bed. Twenty-seven people agreed, among them a baker, a babysitter, an actor, a journalist, a seamstress, a trumpet player and three painters. Calle photographed them awake and asleep, secretly recording any private conversations once the door closed. She served each a meal, and, if they agreed, she subjected them to a questionnaire that probed their personal predilections, habits and dreams as well as their interpretations of the act of sleeping in her bed: a curiosity, a game, an artwork, or--as Calle intended it--a job. The result, comprising her first exhibition in 1979, was a grid of 198 photographs and short texts.
Unlike the original installation, this artist's book version of The Sleepers contains not only all the photographs and captions but also her engrossing, novellalike narrative, untranslated until now. From the single, liminal mise-en-scène of her bedroom, Calle reports in text and photos, as if in real time, as sleepers arrive, talk, sleep, eat and leave. Their acute and sometimes startling, sometimes endearing particularities merge into something almost like an eight-day-long dream. Many seeds of Calle's subsequent works are embedded in The Sleepers: her exacting and transgressive methods of investigation, her cultivation of intimacy and remove, and her unrelenting curiosity. In this work, as she observes the sleepers, they observe her too--with reciprocal candor. The Sleepers, clothbound and pillow-like, unfolds as it opens, inviting the reader to join the others in Calle's bed.
Pat Feinman's Voices of the Sea drew me into its half-lit world where thoughts and memories drift into dreams, a place where there is both a danger and a comfort in seeking refuge. With the deceptive simplicity of a tone poem, the art and words merge into a rhythmic tide of images of loss and longing, and that most encompassing of human traits, our search for meaning. Like the sea itself, the story is seductive, melancholy and ultimately, mesmerizing.

The musician's tender and nuanced tribute to the life and work of her deceased brother
This volume is an intimate consideration of musician Kim Gordon's brother's life and art featuring personal photographs and pages from his journals. Following Keller Gordon's death in 2023, his sister collected mementos--relics from a shared existence spent dipping in and out of one another's lives over decades--including drawings, photos, poems and the diaries he kept at various stages of lucidity. The Sonic Youth frontwoman also authored a diaristic essay about their childhood, the complexities of family dynamics and the double-edged sword of creating and maintaining legends about those we love and admire. I know exactly when the myth of my brother started, she writes. Designed to evoke the format of Keller's diaries, this volume features facsimiles of his writings, offering insight into the complicated figure of Keller Gordon as well as his sister's life. Through Kim's prose and Keller's own words, Keller extends and destabilizes the form of the biography, foregrounding the fragmented and the imperfect, echoing how memories themselves dissolve and take new shape over time.
Kim Gordon is an artist and cofounding member of the bands Sonic Youth and Body/Head, and the author of the memoir Girl in a Band.

A revelatory collection of the artist's sketches and preparatory drawings, featuring many that have never been published before
The great Russian modernist painter and theorist Wassily Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstraction in Western art. Few documents provide more insight into his evolution from figural to abstract art--or into the development of abstraction in the early twentieth century--than the pages of his sketchbooks. Featuring previously unpublished drawings, Wassily Kandinsky: The Sketchbooks is a comprehensive selection of hundreds of sketches from twelve notebooks Kandinsky kept between 1889 and 1935. Beginning with early figure studies, architectural sketches, and landscapes, the notebooks reveal a process of exploration that would lead Kandinsky from his first experiments in geometric abstraction to paintings that reshaped modernism. Demonstrating Kandinsky's mastery of color, line, shape, composition, and movement, the book includes notes and preparatory studies for major paintings, such as the analytical drawing for Composition VII (1913), the first study for Several Circles (1926), and Study for Composition IX, a preliminary working of his 1936 masterpiece. Visually stunning, the book offers a remarkable, intimate look at how Kandinsky sought to discover nothing less than a spiritually transcendent form of art.
