Review Bakhtin and the Visual Arts (Cambridge Studies in New Art History and Criticism) / Cambridge University Press:Bakhtin and the Visual Arts is the first book to assess the relevance of Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas as they relate to painting and sculpture. Deborah Haynes' in-depth study of Bakhtin's aesthetics, especially his theory of creativity, analyzes its applicability to contemporary art theory and criticism. With such categories as answerability, outsideness and unfinalizability, Bakhtin, the author posits, offers a conceptual basis for interpreting the moral dimensions of creative activity.

Review Le Corbusier: Album la Roche: Limited Edition / Monacelli:Le Corbusier was unquestionably the most important figure in twentieth-century architecture. His work in both design and theory has never been equaled. His most famous buildings - reflecting industrial as well as sculptural influences - include Villa Savoie, Ronchamp Chapel, La Tourette, Unité d'Habitation, and the United Nations Building, which was created with an international roster of architects. His manifesto, Towards a New Architecture, is still read by all students of architecture worldwide. The genesis of the Album La Roche is fascinating in itself. In 1923, Le Corbusier built one of his seminal houses, the Maison La Roche, for his young client and patron, Raoul La Roche; both were only twenty-seven years old. Before building the house, the men had gone together on an architectural "scouting trip" to Venice and Vicenza, where the architect kept a beautiful sketchbook of drawings, watercolors, and diagrams. On New Year's Day 1925, Le Corbusier presented La Roche with this exquisite album - filled with paintings of landscapes, bowls of fruit, and portraits, as well as architectural plans, construction details, and mathematical calculations. The assemblage of different media and diverse subject matter reveals both sides of Le Corbusier's personality: whimsical and disciplined. These pages are exact replicas of the originals, to the point of showing watercolor bleeds and pencil smudges. [+]The facsimile of the Album La Roche, bound in beige cloth, is in a case of black cardboard. Also inserted is a smaller text volume containing a lengthy essay by Stanislaus von Moos, a transcription of all of Le Corbusier's notes and notations, and a commentary on each page of the album. The entire case is contained in a slipcover. Published in a limited, numbered edition, the reproduction of the album is unparalleled.

Review Japanese Box, The / Edition 7L:In 1968, a magazine with the programmatic title Provoke was published in Tokyo by the photographer and writer Takuma Nakahira, the art critic Koji Taki, and other members. Investigating the relationship between photography and text, and suggesting new ways for photography to depict Japanese society, the magazine was an artistic and philosophical manifesto, responding to the upheavals of the late sixties. The participating photographers, among them Daido Moriyama (who joined Provoke with the second issue) searched for a radically new photographic language, as is reflected in the titles of their books: titles like Moriyama's Bye, Bye Photography, and Nakahira's For a Language to Come; publications that were turning points in postwar Japanese photography. This spectacular limited edition collection of facsimile reprints of six legendary Japanese photography publications from the 1960s and 1970s will undoubtedly be a highly sought-after collector's item. Included are the first three issues of Provoke and three books that were inspired by it. Originally published in extremely limited editions (Provoke had a print run of 1,000 copies), these publications are very rare today and almost impossible to find. Among the photographers included are Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Takuma Nakahira, Yutaka Takanashi, and Koji Taki. This set comes in a black wooden collector's box, with an editor's book that includes translations of the texts. A must-have for photography lovers.

Review Pre-Victorian British Typography and Printers' Manuals (Book Design and Production) / Thoemmes Continuum:Near-contemporaries, William Caslon the type-founder, and John Baskerville the printer, stand as two of the great figures in eighteenth-century British printing. This well-illustrated set includes an early memoir of Baskerville, an account of Caslon and his firm, and both figures appear in Reed's important work. A most famous book is Moxon's Mechanick Exercises which covers the full range of the technicalities of printing practice, including compositor, corrector, pressman and warehouseman, as well as including the first detailed explanation of the art of type-founding. Smith's most famous Grammar was in part based on Moxon but itself became the model of numerous subsequent grammars. Hansard's great history encompasses paper and typefounding, as well as printing, presses, and printing ink. It 'is admirably produced, and is a model of what a technical treatise should be' (Bigmore & Wyman). Savage's monumental Dictionary brings the history and art of printing up to the beginning of the Victorian era. Finally, more than a curiosity, Roberts's interesting early account of the neglected history of the printer's marks gives a unique illustrated picture of the trade itself. The history and techniques of British book illustration for the same era is to be covered in an eight-volume companion set to be published in November 1998. Faculties that may benefit from these sets include those interested in printing, fine art, design, commerce and technology, business organization, and social history. [+]-Important works containing information on the grammar and art of printing -Valuable illustrated documentation on aspects and nature of the British book trade -Good insights into the management and costs of pre-Victorian businesses.
