Book Description
Salvador Dali's flamboyant moustache, Richard Nixon jumping in the West Wing, Grace Kelly's amazing profile - these are just a few of the images that achieved iconic status and helped make photographer Philippe Halsman an icon in his own right. Comprising hundreds of photographs and insightful accompanying texts, this volume explores Halsman's oeuvre in a variety of aspects. It examines his early career exhibiting works at the avant-garde La Pleiade Gallery in Paris; his experiments with portraiture, particularly the series of stunning images of Marilyn Monroe and his more than 100 covers for Life magazine; his pictures of the contemporary art scene that include famous dancers, movie stars, stage actors, and musicians and the birth of his "jumpology" concept; and his unique, 30-year collaboration with Salvador Dali, including a book devoted entirely to the artist's moustache. Anyone interested in portraiture, celebrity, or surrealist photography will marvel at the breadth and magnificence of Halsman's work, which is definitively presented in this beautiful volume. AUTHOR: Sam Stourdze is Director of the Musee de L'Elysee in Lausanne, Switzerland. He has published several books on artists such as Dorothea Lange, Federico Fellini and Charlie Chaplin. Anne Lacoste is curator of the exhibitions at the Musee de L'Elysee in Lausanne, Switzerland. She has published several books on artists such as Felice Beato and Irving Penn. 100 illustrations

Dali's Mustache
Author: Philippe Halsman
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 2080304666
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Cult classic and collector’s item, Dali’s Mustache is the result of the astonishing artistic collaboration between surrealist Salvador Dalí and experimental photography pioneer Philippe Halsman. Dalí and Halsman were friends as well as professional collaborators for more than three decades. Subtitled A Photographic Interview, the concept of the book is one short question presented to Dalí, which Dalí answers, followed by a corresponding black-and-white photograph by Halsman. The photographs are intentionally absurd and hilarious. Early editions of this book came with a warning on the back that said “Warning! This book is preposterous.” Question: "I have the feeling, to have discovered your secret, Salvador. Could it be that you are crazy?" Answer: "I am certainly saner than the person who bought this book."

The Jump Artist
Author: Austin Ratner
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0670921599
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Austria, 1928. A young man stands unjustly accused of murdering his father. Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann speak out on his behalf. Sigmund Freud is called to testify. The trial that ensues, in which he tries to clear his name, sends shockwaves throughout Europe. In this crucible of injustice and grief, one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century is formed. From prison cell and psychological trauma to bohemian Paris at its height and Europe on the eve of war, from tragedy and injustice to freedom and, eventually, to fame, this is the story of The Jump Artist. In this superbly crafted, prize-winning novel, Austin Ratner recreates the remarkable true story of Philippe Halsman, a photographer whose portraits of some of the greatest names of our times - Dalí, Einstein and Monroe among them - ensured his enduring fame, but whose renown masked a shocking tragedy that haunted him throughout his life, and a remarkable journey from darkness into the light . . . 'In The Jump Artist Austin Ratner gives life to a story both emblematic of the horror at the heart of the twentieth century and absolutely personal in its particulars - the extraordinary life of Philippe Halsman. A terrific debut.' Anna Funder, author of Stasiland 'Tremendous resonance . . . one of the most promising debuts of the year.' Publishers' Weekly 'A beautifully scrupulous, intricately detailed novel about joy and despair.' Charles Baxter, author of The Soul Thief 'A remarkable novel that documents a triumph of the human spirit over tremendous adversity.' Harper's

The Frenchman
Author: Philippe Halsman
Publisher: Taschen America Llc
ISBN: 9783822846414
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Making faces: a highly original visual Q&A with France's most beloved comic actor In New York in 1948, photographer Philippe Halsman had a chance meeting with Fernandel, a French movie star from the vaudeville tradition, and asked the actor to participate in a completely original photographic experiment. Halsman would ask Fernandel questions about America to which he would respond using only facial expressions. With his wide, lovable horse-face, Fernandel mimicked the answers to such questions as "Does the average Frenchman still pinch pretty girls in a crowd?" (silly grin) and "What was your reaction to the great American game of baseball?" (perplexed). Fernandel`s reactions are laugh-out-loud funny, and the book that resulted from this unusual collaboration is nothing short of wonderful. The Frenchman has been out of print for over fifty years, but TASCHEN`s reprint thankfully brings it back to life.
