In this remarkable autobiography, Man Ray - painter, photographer, sculptor, film maker and writer - relates the story of his life, from his childhood determination to be an artist and his technical drawing classes in a Brooklyn high school, to the glamorous and heady days of Paris in the 1940s, when any trip to the city 'was not complete until they had been "done" by Man Ray's camera'. Friend to everyone who was anyone, Ray tells everything he knows of artists, socialites and writers such as Matisse, Hemingway, Picasso and Joyce, not to mention Lee Miller, Nancy Cunard, Alberto Giacometti, Gertrude Stein, Dali, Max Ernst and many more, in this decadent, sensational account of the early twentieth-century cultural world.

A national bestseller from acclaimed author Iain Pears, The Portrait is a novel of suspense and a tour de force. An art critic journeys to a remote island off Brittany to sit for a portrait painted by an old friend, a gifted but tormented artist living in self-imposed exile. The painter recalls their years of friendship, the gift of the critic's patronage, and his callous betrayals. As he struggles to capture the character of the man, as well as his image, on canvas, it becomes clear that there is much more than a portrait at stake... Iain Pears's An Instance of the Fingerpost and The Dream of Scipio are also available from Riverhead Books.

Will Chen, a Chinese American art history student at Harvard, has spent most of his life learning about the West - its art, its culture, all that it has taken and called its own. He believes art belongs with its creators, so when a Chinese corporation offers him a (highly illegal) chance to reclaim five priceless sculptures, it's surprisingly easy to say yes.

Stik imod sin mavefornemmelse siger journalisten Eva ja til at skrive et portræt af en forfatter. Opgaven bliver en umulig balancekunst mellem forfatterens modvilje og redaktøren Monicas ambitioner.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Intelligent, beautiful and vivacious, Isabel Archer fascinates and intimidates the elite society of Albany, New York. Fiercely protective of her independence, she travels to England with her aunt to escape a persistent suitor but, upon inheriting a considerable fortune, falls into the sway of the devious Mrs Merle who whisks her off to Italy.

'One ought to choose something very deliberately, and be faithful to that.' Isabel Archer is a young, intelligent, and spirited American girl, determined to relish her first experience of Europe. She rejects two eligible suitors in her fervent commitment to liberty and independence, declaring that she will never marry. Thanks to the generosity of her devoted cousin Ralph, she is free to make her own choice about her destiny.

Et udvalg af Lars Gundersens bedste portrætfotografier gennem 30 år af bl.a. kunstnere, musikere og forfattere fra ind- og udland, suppleret af tekster af Morten Søndergaard, Kristina Stoltz, Hilde Susan Jægtnes og Magne Furuhomen, og med forord af Jens Blendstrup."Denne bog samler et væsentligt udvalg af Lars Gundersens portrætfotografier. Lars Gundersen har siden 1980’erne portrætteret individer, der på den ene eller anden måde udfolder sig kunstnerisk og skabende, og som i mødet med hans blik og metode træder tydeligt frem i netop deres særegenhed, menneskelighed og individualitet. Det er et blik og en metode, der ikke lægger til, der ikke dramatiserer og instruerer, nærmere skræller af, det går direkte til sagen, til ansigtets intensitet og udstråling, dets særlige væsen og væsentlighed, dets mystik. Det fanger ansigtet præcist, det fremstiller det nøgternt, dragende, det kan tage timer at forlade et billede, det kan være svært ikke straks at vende tilbage igen."Christel Wiinblad, 2015
