Explore the West London towns of Kew and Brentford in this fully illustrated A-Z guide to their history, people and places. Kew and Brentford are not so much separated by the River Thames as connected through it. The ford here was the first point on the tidal stretch of the great river that could easily be crossed on foot – meant many travelers have passed through down the centuries, perhaps the most famous being Julius Caesar. Kew has strong royal links and in 1759 Princess Augusta founded Kew Gardens, now known officially as the Royal Botanical Gardens. Today Kew is also famous for the National Archives. Kew and Brentford also have a rich industrial history, from pharmaceutical giants Beechams (and today GlaxoSmithKline) to aircraft manufacturers Sopwith and Handley Page and motor vehicle manufacturers Dodge and Chrysler. In A-Z of Kew and Brentford, Andy Bull reveals the history behind these towns, their streets and buildings, industries and the people connected with them. Alongside the famous historical connections, are included some unusual characters, tucked away places and unique events that are less well-known. Readers will discover tales of painters drawn to this area, the manufacture of Brompton folding bicycles in a railway arch and a notorious Victorian murderer among many other fascinating facts in this A-Z tour of Kew and Brentford’s history. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in these historic West London towns. Autorid: Andy Bull

Published in connection with an exhibition opening at Photo Elysée in spring 2024, this book presents more than 150 of Man Rays portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. Man Ray (18901976) was a man both of and ahead of his time. With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from previous constraints and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium. A close friend of Marcel Duchamp and André Breton, he was one of the few photographers to be mentioned among the Dada artists and Surrealists. He also worked as a fashion photographer, first for Vogue, and later for Harpers Bazaar and Vanity Fair. Renowned as the creator of Ingres Violin a photograph from 1924 that broke records when it was sold for $12.4 million in 2022 Man Ray remains an influential figure in the worlds of art, fashion and pop culture, with many other artists referencing his work. Published in connection with an exhibition at Photo Elysée and in the centenary year of the publication of André Bretons Surrealist Manifesto, this book presents more than 150 of Man Rays portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. It includes portraits of the leading lights of the Paris art scene, among them Marcel Duchamp, Robert Delaunay, Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso, as well as a selection of his fashion work. As an innovator of photographic techniques and compositional form, Man Ray found the studio portrait be it of the artists and writers with whom he had longstanding friendships, or of the objects and sculptures he collected to be the playground in which he could express the visual wit and experimentation for which he is renowned.

In the East Falls neighbourhood of Philadelphia, just beyond the northern boundary of the Thomas Jefferson Universitys East Falls campus, stands the Hassrick House (195861), designed by celebrated architect Richard Neutra, an icon of mid-century modern style. Often described as an East Coast interpretation of California Modernism, the Hassrick House is one of only three buildings designed by Neutra within the city limits. Thomas Jefferson Universitys relationship with the house began in the summer of 2015 when Andrew Hart, assistant professor of Architecture in the College of Architecture & the Built Environment initiated a series of summer courses to study the house. The first multidisciplinary group of students engaged in architectural survey, drawing, and photography. Subsequent summer courses refined the architectural drawings, following the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and Historic American Landscape Survey (HALS) standards. Yet another student cohort undertook documentary research to uncover the history of the house and its occupants. Then owners George Acosta and John Hauser were supportive collaborators with students in this process. Neutras architecture and his relationship with the Hassricks - particularly Barbara who emerged as the primary client voice while the house was being designed - captured the hearts, minds, and imaginations of everyone who engaged with the house. As one student recalled, We have all gotten swept away in the stories unfolding from our research. In 2018, Hauser and Acosta sold the property to the university with the understanding that the house would continue to be used for educational purposes. In Georges words, I had come to realize that the students can be the future custodians of that home. They can be the eyes. They can be the archives. In a way, it becomes all of ours to share. This publication chronicles the students findings that shed light on Neutras design process, his collaboration with his clients, as well as the unsung role of Thaddeus Longstreth as Neutras proxy negotiator throughout the design and construction stages. During its approximately 63-year lifespan, the Hassrick House tells a saga of design, dwelling, neglect, restoration, and reinvention today as a laboratory for learning. In many respects, the history of the Hassrick House tells an important story of the modernist movement in the US, both regionally and nationally.

In a stunning visual journey, Lum reveals how Chinatowns across North America are defined by both their evolving architecture and their rich cultural identityPublished with WORK BOOK.Over the past decade, Chinese Canadian photographer Morris Lum (born 1983) has embarked on an extensive exploration of the Chinatown communities scattered across Canada and the United States. Focusing on the architecture and evolution of these enclaves, Lum delves into how "Chinese" identity is shaped and expressed through their structures. Using a large-format camera, he has captured Chinatowns in cities such as Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and Boston. Through his objective lens, Lum chronicles the rapid transformations these communities face, documenting the shifting architectural and economic landscapes. His colorful photographs offer a poignant visual record, spotlighting both historical and modern-day cultural landmarks—small family-owned businesses, iconic Chinese restaurants and vital community organizations—that define these neighborhoods.
