啟發王家衛、Wim Wenders、David Lynch等導演影像構圖的美國20世紀繪畫大師 Edward Hopper（1882-1967）
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered the first significant American painter in 20th century art. Living in a secluded country house with his wife, Josephine, he depicted the loneliness of big city people in canvas after canvas. Probably the most famous of them, "Nightawks", done in 1942, shows a couple seated quietly, as if turned inwards upon themselves, in the harsh artificial light of an all-night restaurant. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, abandoned houses, depicted in brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of color, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet. In "House by the Railroad", a harsh interplay of light and shadow makes the abandoned building seem veritably threatening.On the other hand, Hopper's renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquillity that reveals another, more optimistic side of his character. by Ivo Kranzfelder

Situated on a remote beach on the northeast coast of Spain, elBulli is famous for being the ultimate pilgrimage site for foodies, and a reservation that is nearly impossible to obtain.
Each year elBulli is open for just six months, and receives more than 2 million requests for only 8,000 seats. Renowned for his spectacular ever-changing 30-course tasting menu, Adria's pioneering culinary techniques have been applauded - and imitated - by top chefs around the globe for the past decade, and he was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of our time. If you weren't one of the lucky few to get in this year (2008 reservations were booked a year in advance), you can now experience the restaurant like never before.
This generously-illustrated 600-page ''day in the life'' features over 800 photographs, menus, recipes and diagrams, and presents a guided tour through a full working day at elBulli. The book documents the activities of each hour of the day, from dawn at 6.15 am to switching off the lights at 2.00 am.
The book highlights 30 dishes which represent a full elBulli menu, and Adria shows you how he creates the restaurant's innovative cuisines. Sample recipes include Samphire Tempura with Saffron and Oyster Cream, Steamed Brioche with Rose-Scented Mozzarella, and Coulant/Souffle of Granadilla with Cardamom Toffee.In April 2008, elBulli won the #1 Best Restaurant in the World, for the third year in a row at the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards.

創意總動員09’”特別推介: Hitchcock At Work
Publisher: Phaidon Press
Publication Date: June 1, 2003
Price:374 會員書展7折：MOP262 !
Considering the wealth of Alfred Hitchcock books produced recently, it's good that Krohn (Hollywood correspondent for the influential Cahiers du cin ma) finds the director's oeuvre inexhaustible. First published last year in France, where it won the Prix de la Critique, this book refutes the director's mythology. Krohn argues that the enigmatic director, once quoted as saying that once the screenplay was finished the actual making of the film bored him, was more open to improvisation and less a slave to the script and storyboard than his public image allowed. Focusing on the Hollywood years, Krohn examines each of the major films and details the progression of the filming, from casting to titling, adding interesting commentary gleaned from Hitchcock's papers. Although the thesis is a bit overstated, the sumptuous photographs alone make this a necessary addition to film libraries. A very readable treatment for scholars and popular audiences and a fine study for film collections.DKelli Perkins, Herrick Dist.

"創意總動員09’”特別推介: Chinese Propaganda Posters
Publisher: TASCHEN
ISBN: 9783836503167
Price:132 書展會員7折: MOP92
TASCHEN出版社25週年特別蒐集了中國過去50年來的廣告內容，集結成《Chinese Propaganda Posters》一書。中國長久以來一直以平面宣傳的方式讓人民瞭解國家的政策，而自1949年中國人民共和國建國以來，主席毛澤東就不斷的以個人的肖像融合在各種政令宣導的廣告中，這些廣告大量的出現在公共空間、雜誌、教科書等，讓大眾可以隨時隨地的接觸到這些內容，而這些內容橫跨了五十年，見證了中國共產主義從以往到現在的發展，不管是政治、經濟或是社會的面向。
With his smooth, warm, red face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the People's Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s. These infamous posters were, in turn, central fixtures in Chinese homes, railway stations, schools, journals, magazines, and just about anywhere else where people were likely to see them. Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (a.k.a. the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men and "masculinized" women and children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing.

本書代表的不僅是Auguste Racinet這位十九世紀法國人的成就，更是一項對於十九世紀時裝時尚發展的重要紀念里程碑。這本書籍原本出版於十九世紀的法國，當時這本書籍的出版可以說是最具世界觀的時尚服裝演進過程與歷史了。
Auguste Racinet收錄了從遠古到十九世紀，各國家與地區最具代表的服裝，以手繪插圖的方式呈現在讀者面前。書中分為幾個部分，從古代社會、十九世紀之前其他地區的服飾、歐陸五世紀到十九世紀、十九世紀歐陸地區的服飾，最後服裝的總結，包括了各民族服裝的圖案與版型、風格的比較等內容。從古代的埃及服飾到十九世紀法國時裝，甚至愛斯基摩人的服飾都出現在這本書中。
這一本蒐錄了超過五百件各個地區服飾的服裝百科，在我們今日知識流通生活的我們而言，可能覺得大多數的內容其實我們早以知曉，不過對於服裝的細節處理與介紹，可以說是看到Auguste Racinet對於服裝這一個主題的堅持與慎密。當中許多內容雖然是十九世紀的內容，不過對於研究服飾的學生或是教授、設計師或是插畫工作者，甚至歷史學家都可以以這本書相關研究的重要指標。

DOMUS 1928-1999 : THE VERY BEST FROM THE SEMINAL ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN JOURNAL (1928-1999)(12冊合售)
譯者： Fiell, Charlotte/ Fiell, Peter

Taschen的Domus Vol.I-XII 1928-1999，係將1928年至1999年近八百期的Domus雜誌做一次整理、篩選。Taschen的編輯從厚達二十萬頁的原始內容中以近乎考古學家的標準，嚴格挑選7000多頁，總計12巨冊。內容包含20000多張圖、具有歷史價值的廣告、重要篇章的英譯、每頁下方的註解，及文章索引。涵蓋了72年來的設計及建築風貌：從1928年創立時的裝飾藝術風格到晚現代風格，Domus Vol.I-XII 1928-1999本身就像一部設計編年史，是從事設計及建築工作者的必備參考書。
從創刊以來，Domus被公認是國際上對建築和設計最有影響力的雜誌。這不僅和創辦人Gio Ponti的才華有關，也和Domus幾乎每五年就更換一次主編的策略有關。Domus的主編很多皆是在國際上享有盛名的設計師，其中包括：Alessi的設計顧問Alessandro Mendini、首位在世時即以個人身分進入MoMA展出的設計師Mario Bellini。這樣亮眼的主編名單和五年一度的編輯班底轉換，使得Domus始終能維持足夠的動能推陳出新，引領潮流。
這次Taschen的編選除原始內容之外，便在每冊刊頭請來數位當時的編輯或是對Domus有特殊貢獻的人撰寫專文，介紹該時期的設計建築發展及Domus在這當中扮演的角色。此外，其中很多篇章更是首次有正式英譯，對不諳義大利文的讀者可一補遺珠之憾。
Highlights from the seminal architecture and design journal (1928-1999) For over seventy-five years, Domus has been hailed as the world's most influential architecture and design journal. Founded in 1928 by the great Milanese architect Gio Ponti, the magazine's central agenda has always remained that of creating a privileged insight into identifying the style of a particular age, from Art Deco, Modern Movement Functionalism and Postwar to Pop, Post-Modernism and Late Modern. Beautifully designed and comprehensively documented, Domus presents page after page of some of the most exciting design and architecture projects from around the world. TASCHEN's twelve-volume reprint features selected highlights from the years 1928 to 1999.
