Al fotógrafo y cineasta Bruce Weber se le vincula con una amplia gama de imágenes: retratos cercanos de artistas, actores y atletas; moda cargada de emoción, irreverencia y nostalgia; homenajes líricos al erotismo y una vision idilica del paisaje americano. Ademas de golden retrievers. Desde sus inicios, Weber ha viajado acompañado por una manada de estos bondadosos perros, que pueblan por igual sus fotografias para campañas de moda, grandes revistas y las paginas de sus libros de recortes. The Golden Retriever Photographic Society es el primer compendio de estas fotografias que Bruce Weber ha tomado a lo largo de toda su carrera, una seleccion que el mismo describe como la mas personal. En la introduccion de la monografia, Weber comenta: La gente a veces me dice: En mi proxima vida, quiero reencarnarme en uno de tus perros. Al hojear este volumen, entendemos por que. A lo largo de cinco decadas, estos golden retrievers han espoleado la imaginacion de Weber en la intensa vida que ha construido junto a su esposa, Nan Bush. Este libro celebra el vinculo entre humanos y animales, y arroja luz sobre como la conexion con nuestras mascotas alimenta la creatividad, ademas de brindar compañia y proporcionar alegria.

Este origina
In New York in 1948, photographer Philippe Halsman had a chance meeting with Fernandel, a French movie star from the vaudeville tradition, and asked the actor to participate in a completely original photographic experiment. Halsman would ask Fernandel questions about America to which he would respond using only facial expressions. With his wide, lovable horse-face, Fernandel mimicked the answers to such questions as "Does the average Frenchman still pinch pretty girls in a crowd?" (silly grin) and "What was your reaction to the great American game of baseball?" (perplexed). Fernandel`s reactions are laugh-out-loud funny, and the book that resulted from this unusual collaboration is nothing short of wonderful. The Frenchman has been out of print for over fifty years, but TASCHEN`s reprint thankfully brings it back to life.
