Exquisite yet too fragile to exhibit, one of the world's greatest
collection of autochromes - colour photography's pioneering process
- is presented to a wide audience for the first time. Offering
unprecedented access to the V&,amp,A's collection of
autochromes - one of the greatest collections of early colour
photography in the world - Colour Mania presents this pioneering
photographic process in its full, vibrant, wondrous and painterly
beauty and provides a breathtaking view of the early 20th century
in colour. These autochromes are so fragile and light sensitive
that they cannot be displayed in public - this book presents the
only chance to see them.Invented by the Lumiere brothers - also
pioneers of cinema - autochrome was the first widely available
direct colour photography process and remained so for the next
twenty years. Upon its commercial release in 1907, it was eagerly
embraced by Pictorialist photographers and advocated by its leading
member Alfred Stieglitz, who predicted 'a mania for colour'.
Photographed with great care for this book, the V&,amp,A's
abundant collection of autochromes is brought to the public for the
very first time.Organized thematically and with sections focusing
in-depth on the photographers who engaged with the process Colour
Mania is built upon the latest scholarship and research by Catlin
Longford and includes insights into how these extraordinary
photographs are being preserved for future generations. An
opportunity to travel in time and understand a tour de force in
photographic technology, Colour Mania will delight anyone who
desires to experience the past in colour.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
