Den bild vi har i Sverige idag av den internationella konstnärsskara som samlades i den franska byn Grez-sur-Loing under 1870- och 80-talen, präglas i hög grad av sin tids nationalistiska kulturklimat, men också av den konstruktion av platsen och fenomenet konstnärskoloni som både konstnärer och konsthistoriker skapat i efterhand.

Tuija Lindström was one of Sweden's foremost photographic artists and was highly influential in Finland as well. This is the second of two books covering her work from 1980 onwards. Many of the images in the book carry on chronologically from where the last book left off, giving an overview of her production from the start of the 1990s to the 2000s. The themes of beauty and death, life and humanity, are at the heart of the works. The artist approaches these subjects in her powerful and direct, yet tangibly sensitive style. Tuija Lindström was born in 1950 in Finland and passed away in Stockholm in 2017. Between 1992 and 2002 Tuija Lindström was Sweden's first female professor in photography at the School of Photography and Film at the University of Gothenburg. The book In The Beginning There Was Everything was published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki.

Hilma af Klint ingick i en grupp kvinnliga vänner som kallade sig De Fem och var verksamma mellan 1895 och 1910. Tillsammans med Anna Cassel, Cornelia Cederberg, Sigrid Hedman och Mathilda Nilsson var af Klint tidi-gare medlem i Edelweissförbundet ett sällskap som kombinerade kristna idéer, teosofi och spiritualism. De Fem mottog meddelanden från högre andar som de kallade de Höga mästarna och under sina seanser dokumen-terade de i translika tillstånd andarnas meddelanden med automatskrift och medialt tecknande.Det finns 15 skissböcker från denna period och Bokförlaget Stolpe gör nu tre av dessa (S2 HaK 1515, S6 HaK 1519 och S13 HaK 1526) tillgängliga som reproduktioner. De tre skissböckerna säljs tillsammans i ett fodral.

<b>The first and only comprehensive overview of Givenchy's collections, presented through catwalk photography and published in collaboration with the celebrated fashion house.</b><br/><br/>Founded by the dashing Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, the house would go on to symbolize the height of effortless elegance, as embodied by Givenchy's muse (and close friend) Audrey Hepburn. After its founder's retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy. More recently, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci took the brand into a resolutely contemporary direction following his appointment in 2005 (dressing icons such as Beyonce), followed by Clare Waight Keller and American designer Matthew M. Williams.<br/><br/>This definitive publication - the only monograph in print on the house of Givenchy - opens with a concise history of the fashion house before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Givenchy's history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.<br/><br/>After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace and Chloe, Givenchy is the ninth in a series of high-end, clothbound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
