Atlas Of Furniture Design

By Susan Wood. Women: Portraits 1960-2000, with a timely new jacket, celebrates the movers, shakers, and groundbreakers of our times. "These were the noteworthy women of the Sixties and into the first years of the 21st century: achievers, trailblazers, glass-ceiling breakers, and all individuals," writes author Susan Wood, one of the earliest and most successful professional photographers to break into a world long dominated by men. "Women were my main subject for more than 60 years," added Wood. Today, more than ever, this remarkable compilation of portraits of some of the most prominent and influential women of our time serves as a compelling document of women who became known—not just for their beauty—but for their ability to change the world, of how far we have come, and how far we still can go. Wood's notable subjects include Martha Stewart, Nora Ephron, Alice Waters, Jayne Mansfield, Gloria Vanderbilt, and artist/writer Barbara Chase-Riboud, author of a prize-winning historical novel focused on the life of Sally Hemings in 1979. Susan Wood's work also represents a number of milestones in American photography. She was involved with the original "Mad Men" of Madison Avenue and during that time won a Clios, the most sought-after award in advertising.

Accompanying the revolutionary spirit taking hold of American culture in the mid-1960s and 1970s, American graphic designer Alan Peckolick heralded a movement in graphic design known as expressive typography. Along with his mentor and icon, Herb Lubalin, Peckolick called for a new caliber of design: Dreaming up and hand-drawing letterforms that had never existed before, with type, which once played an exclusively supporting role to the graphic image now taking center stage. Calling for conceptual typography over a standardized format, Peckolick gave letterforms a presence on the page, and also an attitude: His designs talk back, and always speak up. Teaching Type to Talk is the first-ever compendium to span the typographer’s career. Peckolick’s work is equal parts witty, shrewd, and impeccable, and is accompanied by original anecdotes as insightful and tongue-in-cheek as his designs.

Before he was painting nudes on Tahitian beaches, Paul Gauguin was a sailor, a salesman in Copenhagen, and a stockbroker in Paris. A leading influence in the post-Impressionist avant-garde, Gauguin settled in the Pacific in search of an unspoiled paradise and in rejection of “artificial” life in Europe. His vivid life story is matched only by his astonishingly bold paintings and masterful acts of color.

From cities to quaint towns and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of the Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive with the top down through fields of lavender in Valensole. Experience a bite of just-out-of-the-oven fougasse, a Provençal classic. Stand in awe of the beautiful, white Camargue horses native to the area. Located in the South of France, Provence is uniquely positioned to be a cultural blend of the Mediterranean. Roman landmarks still prevail from the 1st century AD alongside châteaus from medieval times—a varied legacy brightened by the indigenous mimosas and cypresses.
Perhaps since the region is well-known for its ability to inspire, it’s home to a plethora of festivals such as Rencontre d’Arles, Festival d’Avignon, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and more, all celebrating the arts. Artists who have praised the unique Provençal light include Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono are among the writers who were drawn to write in the shade of the plane trees.
