For years, Chinese photographer Zhong Weixing has been dedicated to shooting the very best portraits of international masters of photography. Through his lens he has captured the faces of many of the world's foremost contemporary photographers, including Sebastião Salgado, William Klein, Robert Frank, Bruno Barbey, Bernard Faucon, and many more. Jean-Luc Monterosso, former director of the world-renowned Maison Européenne de la Photographie, describes these works by Zhong Weixing as a "pantheon of photography masters," and the well-known photographer Bruno Barbey has praised them as representing a "Bible of photographic history." Taken together, the stunning portraits collected in Zhong Weixing: Face to Face pay homage to those who dedicate their lives to making photography a major art of our time. In partnership with Intron International Cultural Development, the Unicorn Chinese Artists series features leading Chinese contemporary artists whose works are not yet well known enough outside China.
The first biography of Percy Moore Turner,
Omar Ramsden was a noted silversmith of the Arts and Crafts Era. In partnership with Alwyn Carr and a team of skilled artisans, he created spectacular silver goods that are still sought after today. But despite the renown of his work, and his involvement in the world of Arts and Crafts, there has been no published information about his life--until now. In Search of Ramsden and Carr is the first account of Ramsden's life and work. While looking into her genealogy, author Helen Ashton uncovered family ties to Ramsden, an interest that soon became an obsession that resulted in this book. Ashton details Ramsden's early life, including time spent in the United States, the establishment of his practice, and the adoption of a new style, adapted from Gothic and Renaissance designs with Celtic-style inscriptions, which would become their studio's trademark. Fully illustrated with one hundred black-and-white and color images, this book will appeal to all who appreciate hand-worked metal and the Arts and Crafts movement.
