La Fabrica

This is a sumptuously illustrated look at the unique work of acclaimed graphic designer, artist, and photographer Juan Gatti. Exuding bold sexuality and brash colours, the posters and photographs of Juan Gatti have defined the graphic face of contemporary Spanish cinema for more than 30 years. Gatti's design work is closely identified with the films of Pedro Almodovar, with whom Gatti has closely collaborated since Almodovar's breakthrough movie, «Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown» (1988). In 1980 Gatti moved to Madrid, where he made a name for himself designing splashy, sexy film posters, working with directors such as Alex de la Iglesia and Gonzalo Suarez. But it was through his work for Almodovar that Gatti would become famous. This sumptuous two volume set gathers his film posters, magazine spreads and design work, and his photographs of Almodovar's superstars such as Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. Packed with visual delights this is a thrilling survey of one of Spain's greatest graphic designers.

The Oblique Gaze charts the career of Spanish photographer Joaquim Gomis (1902-1991), placing particular emphasis on his photoscopes, albums in which he developed a language somewhere between that of the cinema and of reportage to document the work of contemporaries such as Joan Miro, Antoni Tapies and Antoni Gaudi.

Examining the revolution in photography that took place across Europe between 1918 and 1945, this enormous and bold survey orients its examination of the era around three cities, each of which served as a nexus for major developments in the medium: Paris, Prague and Barcelona. Until the First World War, photography had largely followed the aesthetics of painting; during and after the war, such movements as Constructivism, Moholy-Nagy's New Vision and Surrealism led photography to new frontiers, developing techniques and styles that took the medium strictly on its own terms. Demonstrating the interconnectedness of these tendencies, this volume assesses the contributions of each of these cities. Photographers based in Paris during these years include Man Ray, Brassai, Emmanuel Sougez, Hans Bellmer, Jacques-Andre Boiffard, Germaine Krull, Andre Kertesz, Francois Collar, Claude Cahun, Florence Henri, Andreas Feininger, Eli Lotar, Dora Maar, Roger Parry and Raul Ubac; in Prague, Josef Sudek, Frantisek Drtikol, Jaroslav Rossler, Eugen Wiskovsk, Jaromir Funke, Karel Teige, Ladislav Berka, Jan Lauschmann, Josef Bartuska, Jindrich Styrsky and Karel Kasparik; and in Barcelona, Pere Catala Pic, Josep Masana, Josep Sala, Josep Llado, Emili Godes, Antoni Arissa, Gabriel Casas, Salvador Dali and Joaquim Gomis.
