His paintings and drawings for a long time overshadowed his achievements as a sculptor. Yet his Back Series, four bas-reliefs showing a nude, created between 1908 and 1930, are widely recognized as a milestone in modern sculpture. Starting out from the naturalistic de- piction, Matisse gradually transformed it to reach a radically abstracted figure. Each of the four original plaster casts represents a decisive moment of this artistic process. This transformative process has parallels in Matisse’s painting and drawing. Pub- lished in conjunction with major exhibitions at Kunsthaus Zürich and Musée Matisse in Nice, marking the artist’s 150th anniversary, this is the first book to explore the relation between metamorphosis and feedback in both main fields of the artist’s work. Documents of his diverse sources of inspiration for his sculptures—photographs of nudes, examples from African and ancient art—as well as images featuring Matisse at work as sculptor, round out this volume. It is a welcome addition to any art library, highlighting the lesser known side of this modern master. Kunsthaus Zürich is one of Europe’s leading art museums. Its permanent collection comprises masterpieces from medieval to contemporary art with a focus on French impressionism, post-impressionism, and classical mod- ernism.

Since the first public showing of his work in 1969 as part of the landmark Anti-Illusion: Procedures/Materials exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, he has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. Shapiro is most renowned for the distinctive language of dynamic sculpture, blurring the lines between abstraction and figuration, that he developed in the 1980s and 90s. Yet he first gained wide recognition through his earliest New York shows in the 1970s for introducing common forms of often diminutive size. Since then he has continued to push the material and conceptual boundaries of sculpture by working in a number of materials and employing various working methods. Joel Shapiro: Sculpture and Works on Paper 1969–2019 is the first book in over twenty years to survey the artist’s entire working career. In an extensive essay, art his- torian Richard Shiff provides a fresh and incisive examination of Shapiro’s oeuvre and working process. With more than two hundred striking full-color illustrations, this is a long-anticipated and much-needed survey of this vital and essential American artist. Richard Shiff is the Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art and the director of the Center for the Study of Modernism at the University of Texas at Austin.

A member of Magnum Photos cooperative as of 1955, he photographed in the Middle East and South-East Asia, recording the Six-Day (1967) and Yom Kippur (1973) Wars, as well as the Vietnam War during the 1960s. His many travels took him to Japan and China, across Europe and the Americas to report many of 20th century’s major events. His extraordinary sense for people, their personality and circumstances let him create portraits of celebrities and capture ordinary men and women alike. His iconic picture of Che Guevara with cigar, shot in 1963, is one of the world’s most famous and widely reproduced photographic portraits ever. Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée hosts the Fondation René Burri, established in 2013 for the conservation of Burri’s archive. Published in conjunction with an exhibition in spring 2020, the book draws on this unique source. It brings together for the first time Burri’s entire body of work, photographic and non-photographic. Photographs feature alongside previously unpublished documents, book designs, exhibition projects, travel diaries, collages, watercolors, and other objects he collected. It offers a new, multi- faceted and uniquely intimate view of one of the world’s greatest photo reporters. Tatyana Franck is director of Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée since 2015. Prior to this she has directed the Archives Claude Picasso in Geneva as well as a number of important photography collections, and has curated various exhibitions.
