An all-access account of the Who's 1968 and 1976 appearances at the Winterland arena in San Francisco In February 1968 and March 1976, the Who performed shows in the same venue, almost ten years apart: San Franciscos Winterland. Generally considered as two marginal years in the Whos career, they are only apparently so. These two years represent a screen grab of the band taken in its purest form: live, and harder than ever, right before and right after the huge success the Who struggled to live with in the years between. Winterland was the perfect setting to see the band live in the city that welcomed them as a second home, San Francisco. At the Whos first Winterland show in February 1968, just a few hundred hippies turn up. Eight years later, in March 1976, the venue was crammed to capacity5,000 tickets sold. Still, as the Examiner noted, The Who could have sold eight times as many, since there were 43,000 requests for tickets. Teenage Wasteland is an all-access look at those two shows is a glimpse of what it was like to see the Who at Bill Grahams legendary concert venue, and features firsthand accounts and previously unpublished photos by fans at the shows, as well as details the band behind the scenes and onstage. Included are over 500 never-seen-before photos from previously unreleased archives and private collections. Autorid: Edoardo Genzolini, Joel Selvin

Entre 1956 et 1973, le photographe américain David Douglas Duncan (né en 1916) noue avec Pablo Picasso, alors au faîte de sa gloire, une véritable amitié et réalise ce qui est sans doute le premier photoreportage sur l'intimité d'un artiste. Ce compte rendu du quotidien de Picasso réunit plusieurs centaines d'images le montrant dans sa vie privée ou à l'oeuvre pendant cette intense période de création. Cet ouvrage propose un vrai dialogue entre l'oeuvre photographique de Duncan, qui fixe l'univers et l'atelier de son modèle, et l'oeuvre de Picasso, qui prend forme dans l'objectif de son portraitiste. Ce double regard conduit notre attention entre le temps de l'accomplissement de l'oeuvre et la lecture inédite de références universelles de l'histoire de l'art moderne. L'un des reportages en particulier permet d'entrer dans le processus entier de réalisation de la toile monumentale des Baigneurs à la Garoupe (1957, musée d'art et d'histoire de Genève). On pénètre au coeur de l'intimité de Picasso, en côtoyant ses proches et les visiteurs de marque qui passent par La Californie ou Vauvenargues dans ces années où l'artiste impose son image au monde entier. Les photographes montrent par ailleurs comment Picasso occupe son cadre de vie et de travail avec des oeuvres anciennes qui semblent indispensables à son univers et qui réapparaissent souvent, comme Le Fou (1905), dans les clichés. À cette période, Picasso travaille beaucoup à son oeuvre céramique et à la sculpture. La confrontation entre cet oeuvre qui se bâtit sans concession et l'architecture baroque de La Californie notamment, met en abîme le principe même de l'atelier et la frénésie d'inventer un autre langage plastique.
