As humans we are programmed to instinctively respond to beauty. It has an indescribable quality that lifts our spirits and opens our hearts. Yet while this intangible essence can be hard to define, it's nonetheless instantly recognizable. Over the course of his illustrious career, photographer Kenneth Willardt has captured an impressive array of images that epitomize our contemporary concept of beauty. Although varied in their tone and subject matter, these finely structured compositions all possess a timeless elegance that draws us in. Equally at home in both black and white and color images, viewers of Willardt's photography will be struck by the intimacy that characterizes his work. It will be no surprise, then, to learn that the subjects displayed here are celebrities that fascinate him or models he knows as friends. With this freedom and informality between photographer and models, the images are intensely direct and real.

Tying in with the 50th anniversary of the publication of On the Road , this is a lavishly illustrated celebration of the Beat Generation. In many ways the Beats set the tone for the pop-culture developments of the 1950s and 60s, but their role has in many ways been overlooked. But now, with the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Kerouac''s On the Road , and with Francis Ford Coppola''s film of the book in production their pivotal role is finally being given the recognition it deserves. The Beats sets out to play a part in that process, offering a fascinating, fast-moving account of the key people and events from Beat history. The story takes the reader below the bland surface of 1950s America, into a seething, subterranean world of creative experimentation and rebellion against conventional lifestyles. From their love of jazz to their experiments with drugs, and from their later discovery of Buddhism to their canonization of the restless, impulsive Neal Cassady, the book brings the Beat generation to life in full, glorious technicolour. The Beats is the first ever comprehensive, fully illustrated treatment of this key period in cultural history. Packed with more than 200 photos and items of memorabilia, it also features interviews with figures such as Carolyn Cassady and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

In the late 50s after an unsuccessful stint in college, master photographer Larry Fink dropped out and began an odyssey of hitchhiking through America. Starting out in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and moving on to Chicago, Larry travelled eastward through Cincinnati and finally back to his native soil on Long Island where his family waited with dismayed but open arms. Clearly Long Island was not an optimal place for young Fink to remain. Striking out on his own once again, but this time for nearby Beat mecca, New York City, Fink settled down on Minetta Lane with a chap who fancied himself a poet. Larry was quick to hit MacDougal Street where he met Turk, Mary, Bobbie, Motha, Ambrose, Randy, and Mike Stanley, not to mention Hugh Romney (a.k.a Wavy Gravy), LeRoi Jones, and so many more. Photographing, singing, and smoking weed scored in small brown paper bags on the avenues of the Village, Fink was living with internal rage, infernal optimism, and oh so many new freedoms. Just a kid, Larry yearned to get out and fight the revolution and to photograph while doing so. The crew lived all together in the sub-basement of the Sullivan Street Theatre. Being next to the Village Gate, a now legendary jazz club, they dug their way to the rear of the club brick by brick to listen to their princes of expressive freedom: John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and Art Blakey. Fink, a Marxist and red diaper baby, didn't immediately fit in with Turk's crew, but they needed a young, drug-fueled, jazz-loving (and playing) photographer to document their visionary plight. So, it was decided that Larry sign on--they soon left New York to cross America for Mexico--in search of the soul of the Aztecs, the freedoms of the road, the compulsion of speed, the needy thrust of exaggerated adolescence. They moved fast and hysterically forward...

For the fiftieth anniversary of James Bond in 2012, two icons came together who jointly epitomize the very essence of British coolness. In Skyfall, Daniel Craig, as agent 007, powered across the screen in an Aston Martin DB5, the very same thrilling six-cylinder that Sean Connery drove in Goldfinger. Meanwhile, Aston Martin has celebrated a milestone birthday. In the century since it was founded by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin on January 13, 1913, the house has created a portfolio that ranges from the Le Mans-winning DB2 to 2013's Vanquish. Rene Staud has now captured Aston Martin's elegant luxury cars in photographic form. As in his bestselling books on the Mercedes 300 SL and the Porsche 911, Staud transforms automobile photography into a sensual experience and The Aston Martin Book allows readers to absorb the aura of a true British classic.

Desde que TASCHEN publicase por primera vez The Great American Pin-up, el interés por una modalidad artística tan intrínsecamente americana ha aumentado de manera exponencial. Las imágenes creadas por artistas destacados como Alberto Vargas, George Petty y Gil Elvgren que en 1996 podian adquirirse por 2.000 dolares, se venden hoy por un minimo de 200.000. El arte de las pin-ups (es decir, los dibujos y cuadros de muchachas ligeras, a veces ligerisimas, de ropa) se desarrollo entre las decadas de 1920 y 1970 para su uso en calendarios, portadas y paginas centrales de revistas. Los editores y quienes imprimian los calendarios a menudo se deshacian de los originales una vez publicados, convirtiendo a los supervivientes en arte aun mas valioso. Basado en Art of Pin-up, el volumen de dimensiones extraordinarias, esta edicion accesible reune a casi 100 artistas e incluye minuciosas descripciones de los diez artistas principales. Cada capitulo muestra una exquisita reproduccion de un calendario o portada de epoca. La calidad de reproduccion de los cuadros, pinturas al pastel y esbozos preliminares (reproducidos en gran parte a partir de los originales) invita al espectador a seguir el rastro de las pinceladas, mientras que las exquisitas reproducciones de calendarios o portadas de epoca, asi como las imagenes originales de las modelos, documentan el proceso creativo de los artistas. Muchas de estas piezas efimeras fueron fotografiadas directamente en las instalaciones de la historica Brown & Bigelow Company, que alberga el mayor archivo de calendarios pin-up de epoca. Ademas de los capitulos centrados en los diez artistas destacados, el libro incluye biografias y obra de 85 ilustradores, el compendio mas completo de artistas pin-up que jamas se haya realizado. En definitiva, la obra de referencia sobre este popular tema.

In the persona of Andre S. Solidor, veteran photographer Elliott Erwitt plunges deeply into the kookier excesses of contemporary photography. Connotation, denotation, relevance, Andre S. Solidor's best masterpiece to date features an exuberantly eclectic selection of topics--smoking fish heads, pneumatic mannequins in inconguous poses, not to mention some up-close and personal shots of Solidor himself. Plus for all you postmodernist groupies out these, there's context and commentary galore. Did we mention the gratuitous nudity?
