Review Le Livre Des Haltes: Kitab Al-Mawaqif / Brill Academic Publishers:The first of three volumes comprising Abd al Qadir's work contains 215 of the 372 original chapters.

Review Pissarro: Critical Catalogue of Paintings / Skira/Wildenstein:This new catalogue of the paintings of Camille Pissarro, while drawing extensively on the 1939 edition published by his son, makes an innovative contribution to the understanding of the work of this great artist through the discovery of previously unpublished pictures and documents. Over a career that spanned the second half of the 19th century, Pissarro tested every pictorial experiment of his time, from Impressionism to Pointillism. His rich style reveals the gifts of a great colorist and of a master of light endowed with a striking sensitivity to nature. This exhaustive 3-volume catalogue, co-published with the Wildenstein Institute, features 1528 paintings—of which 213 have never been published or are little known—detailed commentaries with rigorous analyses of each work, a complete biography of the artist, illustrated with archival photographs, a bibliography and a complete list of exhibitions.

Review Lars Tunbjörk: Home / Steidl/Hasselblad Center:After his earlier series on leisure time and the world of office labor, Lars Tunbjark returned to his childhood neighborhood to photograph his mother's house. The experience intrigued him, and he continued shooting in similar areas around Sweden. Saturated with other people's personal memories, his photographs convey the peculiar atmosphere of silence familiar in middle-class housing districts, not only in Sweden but in other countries as well. If on the surface his images purport to investigate the private domestic realm in terms of architecture, home decorating styles, and garden culture, as seen in Sweden during the latest two decades, under these multiple, quiet surfaces they reveal apocalyptically more. Home is the final book in a trilogy, following Country beside Itself and Office.

Review Eikoh Hosoe: Kamaitachi / Aperture:Fans of Japanese culture, for a little more than the cost of the prix-fixe sushi dinner at New York restaurant Masa, you can own one of the classics of Japanese photography. More than 35 years after it first appeared, Kamaitachi, a long out-of-print masterwork by Japanese photographer Eikoh Hosoe, gets its first publication outside Japan. Not just a reprint but a recreation in collaboration with the photographer and in homage to the innovative original, this limited edition holds 40 black-and-white tritone images, each of which receives the scope of a gatefold. Slipcased and protected by a clamshell box, the book is not just a publication but an objet d'art in itself. Hosoe was known for pushing the boundaries of traditional photography through his interactions with important Japanese artists such as Butoh dancer Tasumi Hijikata and novelist Yukio Mishima. In Kamaitachi, he sought to recapture, with choreographic style, some of the lost landscapes and images of his childhood experience in the closing years of World War II. Signed and numbered edition of 500 copies.

Review Worlds Within Worlds: The Richard Rosenblum Collection of Chinese Scholars' Rocks / Harvard Art Museums:Revered by Chinese connoisseurs and literati since the Tang dynasty (618-907) or earlier, scholars' rocks have been little known in the West. As refined indoor kin of the more widely recognized Chinese garden stones, these rocks intended for studio display combine the charm of microcosm with sheer abstract beauty; whether regarded as fantastical miniature landscapes or as nonrepresentational sculpture, they invite and reward contemplation. The book accompanies an exhibition organized by Robert D. Mowry, curator of Chinese art, Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Harvard University Art Museums. Essays provide rich insights into the rocks' history and social context, as well as their web of poetic, religious, and philosophical associations. Along with an abundance of research on Chinese records, the book offers ground-breaking scientific analyses in an effort to establish materials and provenance of the rocks, and of their accompanying stands, which are often regarded as minor works of art in their own right. Color plates of the eighty rocks in the exhibition are accompanied by full descriptions and extensive background materials. Maps, tables, graphs, and comparative figures further enhance this striking foundation study. With contributions by Eugene Farrell and C. [+]Mei-An Tsu, Alan Jay Kaufman, Claudia Brown, Jan Stuart, Hugh T. Scogin, Jr. , and Richard Rosenblum.

Review Michelangelo at San Lorenzo: The Genius as Entrepreneur / Cambridge University Press:This book amends a common misconception about one of the greatest Renaissance masters, who has been characterized since his own day as incapable of effective collaboration. This study focuses on San Lorenzo, a key Florentine monument of the Renaissance, where Michelangelo's contributions to the church are among his greatest achievements as a sculptor and architect. Organised around his three commissions at San Lorenzo - the never-realised facade for the church, the Medici chapel and the Laurentian Library - each chapter examines the organisation and day-to-day operations at the building site, as well as the artist's personal and professional relations with nearly three hundred persons who assisted him in carrying out the designs. From the marble quarries at Seravezza to the building site in Florence, William Wallace relates Michelangelo's struggles and triumphs as he worked on these projects for over two decades.

Review Neue Landschaftsarchitektur / New Landscape Architecture / Ernst,Wilhelm & Sohn,Verlag fur Architektur und Technische Wissenschaften Gmbh.,Germany:Nature is at once visible and invisible. The visible outer layer of nature appeals to the eyes, but the forces of nature act on a primarily unseen plane. Life and death take place in processes of silent detachment. Hearts beat, lungs breathe, thoughts come and go, the blood circulates, and the digestion operates - all subject to the realm of nature. A split, however, passes through the centre of the innermost self: it divides the inside from the outside, the subject from the object, the self from nature, consciousness from the world. The landscape architecture of Hans-Dieter Schaal demonstrates this split. All the structures and compositions we know which consist of meadows, mountains, hills, grottoes, foliage, groves, buildings and staged situations are links in empty space between objects and subjects, between nature and consciousness, between exterior and interior. Proceesses are initiated here as they entail confrontation, entanglement, superposition, compression and encirclement. Windows and doors are endowed with the functions of transitways, and paths and squares become sites of meeting - places of approach between humans and nature. This book presents no new theories of landscape architecture. [+]Rather it describes the phenomena of the Earth's surface which we include under the concept of landscape, and it attempts a new definition of the relationship between humans and landscape.
