    Paperback. Condition: New. The immense popularity of the teddy bear, now in every child's bedroom, hides a paradox: how did this ferocious, wild animal came to symbolize childhood?The teddy bear was born at the same time in two different places. In 1902, the toy was invented in the United States in reference to Theodore Roosevelt - hence its Anglo-Saxon name, Teddy's bear, which became teddy-bear. In Germany the same year, Margarete Steiff marketed her first teddy bear created from needle cushions. It was a resounding success in Europe and America. The first examples in mohair and wood straw were heavy and rigid. However, the teddy bear has softened and mellowed. It has incorporated bright or pastel colours, in order to become a cuddly toy, the transitional object studied and theorised by pediatrician Donald Winnicott. Thanks to Winnie the Pooh, Michka and Paddington, the bear now reigns over a whole menagerie of stuffed animals as well as children's fiction. More surprisingly, the bear is also a favourite of fashion designers who do not hesitate to revisit him. Today, through the figures of the panda and the polar bear, the bear is the symbol of climate change and endangered species. Through five essays and three thematic notebooks, this catalogue traces the history of the teddy bear, from its first steps to its transformations and successes. It also questions our relationship with bears since Antiquity. Finally, the rich iconography offers a wide range of old and more recent teddy bears, compared with man's representations of bears over the centuries.…

    In-4 ( 280 X 210 mm ) de 345 pages, broché sous couverture illustrée en couleurs. Très nombreuses illustrations, reproductions photographies, fac-similés en couleurs et en noir dans et hors-texte. Très bel exemplaire de ce magnifique travail.«Je n'ai jamais écrit d'histoire plus vraie.» C'est à Antoine de Saint-Exupéry lui-même que nous devons cette saisissante confidence au sujet du Petit Prince. Ainsi, celle de ses oeuvres qui appartient avec le plus d'évidence au domaine de l'imaginaire soutiendrait-elle le plus étroit rapport avec la vérité. Mais le paradoxe n'est qu?apparent. Car tout, dans Le Petit Prince, signifie, exprime, témoigne non à la manière d?un traité de morale ou d'un récit édifiant, mais comme le fruit gorgé des richesses amères d'une vie intensément vécue, ayant trouvé dans la fable sa plus juste et sa plus simple expression. Aller à la rencontre du petit prince, c'est donc essayer de s'approcher de cette vérité en empruntant les multiples chemins de la création, de l'enfance à l'exil. C'est tenter de rendre visible la trame existentielle et morale d?un livre dont le rayonnement universel n'a d'égal que sa très grande authenticité intime.Manuscrits, aquarelles originales, esquisses et études, documents biographiques, souvent inédits ou méconnus, livrent de précieux indices sur la naissance d?un personnage qui, s'étant soulevé de la chair et de l'âme mêmes de son créateur, en devint le double littéraire et le vibrant messager. Car rien ne tenait plus à coeur au pilote et à l'écrivain Antoine de Saint-Exupéry que de sensibiliser ses contemporains, comme les générations futures, à la menace qui pesait sur une humanité trop oublieuse d'elle-même, devenue incapable de saisir l'essentiel de sa condition. Il fallait une histoire comme celle-là pour se le dire, et pour longtemps. Littérature Enfantina.…

    Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 'Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts!' declared the architect Walter Gropius in his Bauhaus manifesto. Founded as an art school in 1919 and forced to close in 1933 by the Nazis, the Bauhaus established itself as a major influence on 20th-century art and design that continues to this day. The Bauhaus opened in Weimar, the progressive heart of Germany's postwar republic. Under its first director, Walter Gropius, students were taught by some of the most celebrated artists of the time, including Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger and Wassily Kandinsky. The school moved to Dessau in 1922, under its radical new director Hannes Meyer, and to Berlin in 1932 under architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In 1933 the Gestapo forced the Bauhaus to close for the last time. This volume uncovers the sources of inspiration that brought the Bauhaus into existence, from medieval cathedrals of Europe and Hokusai prints to William Morris and Arts and Crafts. Each of the various workshops and courses at the Bauhaus is explored in detail, illustrating the extraordinary wealth of experimentation in every field: ceramics, woodwork, metalwork, textiles, glass-painting, sculpture, mural, printing and binding, typography and publicity, theatre, architecture and photography. This essential and accessible guide to the Bauhaus, its history and turbulent political context, provides the key to understanding why it is recognized as the most durable and influential source of modern ideas about art, design and craft.

    Paperback. Condition: New. The immense popularity of the teddy bear, now in every child's bedroom, hides a paradox: how did this ferocious, wild animal came to symbolize childhood?The teddy bear was born at the same time in two different places. In 1902, the toy was invented in the United States in reference to Theodore Roosevelt - hence its Anglo-Saxon name, Teddy's bear, which became teddy-bear. In Germany the same year, Margarete Steiff marketed her first teddy bear created from needle cushions. It was a resounding success in Europe and America. The first examples in mohair and wood straw were heavy and rigid. However, the teddy bear has softened and mellowed. It has incorporated bright or pastel colours, in order to become a cuddly toy, the transitional object studied and theorised by pediatrician Donald Winnicott. Thanks to Winnie the Pooh, Michka and Paddington, the bear now reigns over a whole menagerie of stuffed animals as well as children's fiction. More surprisingly, the bear is also a favourite of fashion designers who do not hesitate to revisit him. Today, through the figures of the panda and the polar bear, the bear is the symbol of climate change and endangered species. Through five essays and three thematic notebooks, this catalogue traces the history of the teddy bear, from its first steps to its transformations and successes. It also questions our relationship with bears since Antiquity. Finally, the rich iconography offers a wide range of old and more recent teddy bears, compared with man's representations of bears over the centuries.…
