Среди трагических последствий войны с нацистской Германией — колоссальных человеческих жертв и разрушений — Советскому Союзу пришлось столкнуться с проблемой помощи миллионам травмированных и искалеченных людей, вернувшихся с фронта к гражданской жизни. Книга Марка Эделе прослеживает историю ветеранов Великой Отечественной войны с первых послевоенных лет и до распада СССР в 1991 году. Историк показывает, как в рамках советского режима зарождалось и развивалось народное движение бывших фронтовиков, целью которого было добиться признания их заслуг перед страной и прав на различные привилегии. Для этого им приходилось преодолевать известное сопротивление со стороны государства, которое не спешило признавать их отдельной социальной группой, подозревало в политической нелояльности и не желало нести расходы за предоставление ветеранам особого статуса

Издание иллюстрировано фотографиями Героев, памятников, мемориальных и памятных досок, установленных в их честь. Книга предназначена учащимся и педагогам образовательных учреждений Москвы, а также тем, кто занимается воспитательной работой с молодежью, кому дорога священная память о героических защитниках Отечества

Walter Gropius, Visionär des Bauhauses • Neue Sachlichkeit, Deutscher Werkbund, Gesamtkunstwerk, Bauhaus, Purismus der Form, Stahl und Glas, Neues Frankfurt, Siemensstadt, TAC, der „Baukasten im Großen“, Hansaviertel, Gropiusstadt – zentrale Begriffe und wuchtige Wegmarken der Moderne kennzeichnen den Lebensweg von Walter Gropius (1883–1969), Gründer und Leiter des Bauhauses. Gropius hat wie kein anderer deutscher Formgeber und Architekt des vergangenen Jahrhunderts Spuren hinterlassen und unsere Lebensumwelt geprägt. Einige dieser Schlagworte strahlen auch heute noch in ungebrochenem Glanz, andere haben ihren Nimbus längst verloren • In dieser Einführung betrachten wir die Entwicklung und den Einfluss dieses großen Visionärs des 20. Jahrhunderts anhand von zwanzig seiner bedeutendsten Projekte, vom Bauhaus-Gebäude in Dessau über die Siedlung Siemensstadt bis hin zum Harvard University Graduate Center und der Gropiusstadt in Berlin

Photographs have a strange and powerful way of shaping the way we see the world. The most successful images enter our collective consciousness, defining eras, making history, or simply touching something so fundamentally human and universal that they have become resonant icons all over the globe. To explore this unique influence, Photo Icons puts some of the most important photographic landmarks under the microscope • From some of the earliest photography, such as Nicephore Niepce's 1827 eight hour exposure rooftop picture and Louis Daguerre's famous 1838 street scene, through to Martin Parr, this is as much a history of the medium as a case-by-case analysis of it's social, historical, and artistic impact. We take in experimental Surrealist shots of the 1920s and the gritty photorealism of the 1930s, including Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother

35 years of daring, defiant photography • Since her first photographs in the late ’70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I. (1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional iconography and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection • This Rheims retrospective showcases more than 300 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection brings together renowned series such as Chambre Close, Heroines, and Rose, c’est Paris. Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the strength of each image as for the thrilling variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics

On her final film, Marilyn Monroe gave a young photographer his big break, and this is their story • “You’re already famous, now you’re going to make me famous,” photographer Lawrence Schiller said to Marilyn Monroe as they discussed the photos he was about to shoot of her. “Don’t be so cocky,” Marilyn replied, “photographers can be easily replaced.” The year was 1962, and Schiller, 25, was on assignment for Paris Match magazine. He already knew Marilyn—they had met on the set of Let’s Make Love—but nothing could have prepared him for the day she appeared nude in the motion picture Something’s Got to Give • Marilyn & Me is an intimate story of a legend before her fall and a young photographer on his way up. Schiller’s extraordinary photographs and vibrant storytelling take us back to that time with tact, humor, and compassion

Die berühmteste Kunstschule der Moderne • Zwischen zwei Weltkriegen, in gerade mal 14 Jahren, veränderte das Bauhaus die Moderne. Die von utopischen Idealen geleitete Schule für Kunst und Design führte Kunst, Handwerk und Technik zusammen und wandte dieses ganzheitliche Konzept auf Malerei, Bildhauerei, Design, Architektur, Film, Fotografie, Textilgestaltung, Töpferei, Theater und Installationen an • Das Künstlerkollektiv mit Außenwirkung war zugleich eine enge persönliche Gemeinschaft. Gegründet wurde die Schule von Walter Gropius (1883-1969), zu den Mitgliedern gehörten Josef und Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stölzl, Marianne Brandt und Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. An allen drei aufeinander folgenden Standorten der Schule in Weimar, Dessau und Berlin herrschte ein reger kreativer Austausch zwischen den Schülern und Lehrern, die zwar alle unterschiedliche künstlerische Stile und Vorlieben pflegten, jedoch in ihrem Idealismus und dem Streben nach einem „Gesamtkunstwerk“ vereint waren

The definitive reference work in a revised and updated edition • In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germany’s Bauhaus School of Art and Design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, sculpture to ceramics • This book is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fur Gestaltung in Berlin, the world’s largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Some 550 illustrations including architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin

Paul Outerbridge’s provocative nudes and pioneering color • Whether in his sumptuous images for advertising or his soft-hued nudes, Paul Outerbridge (1896–1958) was an alchemist of desire. Color was integral to his aesthetic allure, embracing the complex tri-color-carbro process to create a seductive surface of texture and tone. His quest was for “artificial paradises”—a perfection of form, with a surreal edge • This concise monograph introduces Outerbridge’s unique aesthetic and its commercial and artistic trajectory, from his professional peak as New York’s highest-paid commercial photographer through to his retreat to Hollywood in the 1940s after a scandal over his erotic photography. With key examples from his oeuvre, the book explores Outerbridge’s innovative style through Cubist still life images, magazine photographs, and his controversial nudes, as well as his interaction with other avant-garde photographers, such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Man Ray

Amid the ravages of the Great Depression, the United States Farm Security Administration (FSA) was first founded in 1935 to address the country's rural poverty. It's efforts focused on improving the lives of sharecroppers, tenants, and very poor landowning farmers, with resettlement and collectivization programs, as well as modernized farming methods. In a parallel documentation program, the FSA hired a number of photographers and writers to record the lives of the rural poor and "introduce America to Americans" • This book records the full reach of the FSA program from 1935 to 1943, honoring it's vigor and commitment across subjects, states, and stylistic preferences. The photographs are arranged into four broad regional sections but otherwise allowed to speak for themselves to provide individual impressions as much as they cumulatively build an indelible survey of a nation
