IV. Catalog for 2020-21
Last year, Booxencounters acquired the Kary Lasch images archive containing six hundred thousand pictures. His specialty was finding new talents for the film and modeling industries. He also participated at the Cannes Film Festival for over thirty years, where his photography has stood out with pictures of famous actors or actresses in their golden years. We present three books in a set containing the Famous, Cannes, and Moods and Humorous, which shows Kary Lasch’s wide range of photographs. The folklore art of DALECARLIA is a fascinating expression cultivated in Dalarna County, where the locals had to work hard to survive in a poor area in Sweden. This painting style occurred from 1780 to 1870, almost a hundred years. The paintings have a Christian expression mixed with local humor. RALPH ERSKINE–Buildings and Drawings is the work of one of England’s famous architects. His style is based on the user’s participation and environmental compatibility. He is one of the first architects that studied how buildings related physically and socially to their setting. In Chinese Porcelain and Marks, Christer Löfgren extends his analysis, which makes it possible to perform a statistical analysis of these objects. It is an incredible achievement that will allow Chinese porcelain to be evaluated and defined. It is his third book on this subject.
