Review Vittorio Storaro: Writing with Light: Volume 1: The Light / Aperture:Three-Time Oscar-Winning Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro’s Stunning Book On His Work In Such Films As Apocalypse Now, Dick Tracy, and The Last EmperorCinematographer Vittorio Storaro has worked with some of the most extraordinary film directors of our time—including Bernardo Bertolucci, Francis Ford Coppola, Warren Beatty, and Carlos Saura—to make some of the most breathtaking films of our time. Over the course of his remarkable thirty-five-year career, Storaro has brought visual life to many of the films that have become centerpieces of contemporary cinema. Inspired by a gamut of sources, from Italian Renaissance paintings to Francis Bacon to esoteric primitive art to Tarzan comics, Storaro’s visual palette is as diverse as his films are eclectic and gorgeous. Now, for the first time, this master of cinematography outlines his personal philosophy of light, color, and the elements in an unprecedented three-volume opus, Writing with Light. In this first volume, Storaro considers the use of light, manifesting his ideas through his own writing, related film stills, a stunning selection of paintings, and a vast array of quotations from a myriad of philosophers. Together, these components interweave to express Storaro’s unique, philosophical, and powerful vision. Storaro’s films include The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, 1900, Reds, One from the Heart, Tucker, Dick Tracy, The Sheltering Sky, Little Buddha, Tango, Bulworth, Goya in Bordeaux, and Dune.

Review Alvise Vivarini: His Art and Influence / Cambridge University Press:
Publication date: 1974
Review Sol LeWitt: Incomplete open cubes / John Weber Gallery:Begun in 1974, Incomplete Open Cubes is a sophisticated and elaborate expression of conceptualist art-making by Sol LeWitt, one of the most influential abstract artists of his generation. No other serial project by LeWitt or his contemporaries embodies with such eloquence so many of the central artistic concerns of the period. Incomplete Open Cubes exemplifies the deployment of a single idea to become, in LeWitt's words, "a machine that makes the art. " The work forges a new way of making art in its ambitious use of a serial system that enables a kind of "noncompositional composition. " The translation of the same idea into different scales and media is another key aspect of the work. All 122 variations in the series exist in three dimensions, from a set in which each cube is 2 1/2 inches square to the 40 inches square human-scaled versions. There are also entire sets of photographs, drawings, working sketches and notes, and an artist's book. This publication, which accompanies an exhibition of Incomplete Open Cubes, is the first sustained critical examination of this body of work. The book features much previously unpublished material, including working drawings, schematic drawings, and models, in addition to photographs of the installed structures. Copublished with the Wadsworth Atheneum.

Review Prides: The Lions of Moremi / Southern Book Publishers:Illustrated with two hundred color photographs, this striking volume reveals the worlds of four neighboring prides that roam the diverse habitats of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Drawing on continuing field research begun in 1995, Pieter Kat shows how Okavango lions challenge long-held assumptions about sociability, mating strategies, and hunting techniques. Pride males readily mate with females from other prides; females often leave their offspring vulnerable to predators; and lions are more prone to hunting mistakes and scavenging than has been commonly believed.

Review Giovanni Baglione: Artistic Reputation in Baroque Rome / Cambridge University Press:Giovanni Baglione (c. 1566-1643) was one of the most successful painters in seventeenth-century Rome. Now he is among the most despised artists of all time. In 1603 he was the target of scurrilous verses circulated around Rome and, in response, Baglione brought a legendary lawsuit against Caravaggio and other artists. This book seeks to redress this antagonistic position and to view his life, as a painter, draftsman and writer. O'Neil explores Baglione's world through primary sources, including documents on apprenticeships, workshop arrangements, and collaborations. O'Neil also provides the first diplomatic transcription in English of the court libel documents. What emerges is not only a realistic view of Baglione and his contribution to the history of art, but also an illuminating glimpse into the world of the Roman Baroque. The book contains color plates, over 100 black-and-white pictures, and a checklist of paintings, drawings and documents.

Review Lartigue: Album of a Century / Thames & Hudson Ltd:Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) took his first photograph using his father's camera when he was six years old, and with this began the creation of an enduring record of twentieth-century French life. Lartigue arranged the several thousands of photographs he took into large albums, which he donated to the French State some years before he died, creating the Donation Jacques Henri Lartigue. The gift included 130 albums (beginning with the 1880 family album and ending with the album created just before his death in 1986), every print and negative he ever produced, and his handwritten diary. This sumptuous volume draws on this marvellous legacy to present the most comprehensive overview of Lartigue's work ever published. Facsimile pages from the albums are accompanied by six essays, all written by experts on Lartigue's oeuvre. The authors analyse and assess the photographer's view of the relationship between photography, painting and writing, and his belief in the need to preserve both mundane and spectacular moments on film. They trace Lartigue's rise to fame and the many technological innovations of photography during his lifetime. Like the albums themselves, this book offers up i.
