Christoph Niemann's travel drawings are enchanting. They transport the viewer to where the illustrator picked up his pencil and paintbrush, gifting us with a snapshot of the world. Stripped down and restrained, in vibrant colours, they awaken the desire for travel and adventure. You find yourself wanting to embark on a journey with these images again and again, to continually discover new details in them. Whether it's the glut of sunshine in the midday languor of Spanish towns; the incessant rush and motion of a big city intersection, captured in one moment; the earthy colours and heavy light of Asia or the view from a window into a peaceful garden - every picture is unique, captivatingly beautiful and alive.

This extravagantly designed, exclusive art volume presents approx. 330 illustrations, paintings and collages, many of them previously unpublished. 

Angry and ironic, tender and wonderful: Tomi Ungerer’s America in pictures and texts.

When Tomi Ungerer moved from the Alsace to New York in the mid-1950s and began to work as a graphic designer and illustrator, a crazy new world opened itself up to him, which the talented artist transformed into what are perhaps the most remarkable and powerful works of his career. Expressive and universal pictures which present the land of opportunities in a unique manner.

When Picasso meets hairdresser Eugenio Arias in 1947, they develop a deep relationship.
It is principally their communist conviction that unites the two Spaniards in exile in the South of France, but they also share a great love of bullfighting and a mischievous sense of humour. Picasso’s Hairdresser not only depicts the intense friendship between these two extraordinary men but also offers a fresh look on the world-famous painter as a generous and loyal companion.

With her humorous artwork, Ulrike Wachsmuth-Kiessling will conquer your heart. For (almost) every letter of the alphabet, in her delicate strokes and whip-smart tautograms, the artist reflects on human relationships and big societal themes, sometimes with a critical eye, sometimes with a wink. Her mischievous monkeys, brown bears and chauvinistic chow-chows are destined to become classics, as well as being amusing and thought-provoking.

A beautifully designed art book featuring over 150 ink and pencil drawings.

Christoph Niemann has provided covers for the New Yorker and New York Times Magazine and was commissioned to create a special edition of Zeit Magazin in 2016.

Christoph Niemann’s pictures tell stories of unfamiliar places. They are observations on travelling, arriving, and immersing oneself, on the melancholy of being on the road and the adventure of discovering new places. Virtuoso iconic sketches, capable of capturing the magic, light and mood of a place in a handful of strokes.

One of the most talented and inventive artists of our times: Christoph Niemann at Diogenes.

Loriot’s legendary television sketches in an opulent four-colour printing luxury volume. Loriot’s sketches wrote television history. Millions of Germans know entire dialogues by heart, quotes such as »my duck will not share the bathwater with you« have become common parlance. When Loriot gave his collected sketches the title Dramatic Works, he had no idea that he really would become one of the most-performed German dramatists of his time. Now this essential volume is finally available in an expanded edition with a modern layout and colour stills from the television sketches and animated films.

A Unique Christmas Book – Typical Tomi Ungerer Whoever wants to celebrate Christmas with Tomi Ungerer has something to look forward to: Tomi Ungerer is always good for a surprise. Christmas with him is guaranteed not to be the bleak, cloying, sugary festival of commerce and boredom. Nevertheless, Tomi Ungerer's ›Beware of Christmas‹ is a splendid house book completely stuffed like a stocking with both deceptive and surprising yet still contemplative stories and poems by authors from around the world: from Charles Dickens and Martin Suter to Doris Dörrie and Urs Widmer. And as a very special gift: the more than 70 colored drawings by Tomi Ungerer, who interprets Christmas dreamily, romantically, jokingly, cheekily, frivolously and subversively.

»If there was no Vicco von Bülow, i.e. Loriot – ›Oh … yes‹ – he would have to be invented. You all know him from films, radio and television: ›fa-bu-lous‹. The fact that he has been refusing to appear in the circus ring in his own very personal way and live in one way or another, well, who can hold it against him? If Diogenes now releases Loriot's Collected Prose, 750 pages thick, on a market already overflowing with books, then you must buy it and more importantly read it! ›Ter-ri-fic‹!«

62 new drawings from the past few years.

In interviews with Felizitas von Schönborn, renowned Austrian artist Paul Flora fully recounts for the first time, with his worldly scepticism and casual pessimism, the remarkable, amusing and profound events that have taken place on his extraordinary path through life.

The best dramatic stories by Loriot accompanied by colour images from the animated films: ›Gentlemen in the Bath‹, ›Where Are They Running?‹, ›The Interview‹, ›Television Night‹, ›The Breakfast Egg‹, ›The Talking Dog‹ and ›Work's Over‹.

Today, Rembrandt's significance is unquestioned, he is accepted as one of the great masters. Vincent van Gogh, a great admirer of Rembrandt, once said: »You cannot sincerely love Rembrandt without knowing that God exists.« The theologian Walter Nigg is overwhelmed by Rembrandt's art - and with good reason. No other painter has understood the Bible so thoroughly nor interpreted it so timelessly in paintings and drawings. Nigg's biography shows impressively how much his art was connected to his belief and to his doubts.

A foggy day in Venice, deserted Californian beaches, the ponds of Camargue and the Engadine in winter – Paul Flora takes us to tranquil landscapes conjured up by means of very soft strokes of the pen. In these landscapes are seen solitary human beings, gondolas moving past indifferently, and unhurried riders. In this world, even the crows seem to be merely fleeting apparitions.

Loriot is the only one who has managed to condense Richard Wagner's 16 hour-long ›Ring of the Nibelung‹ to one evening; and equally as reliably he filters the essence from shorter works of other composers. For years, Loriot's original interpretations of operas have been in high demand by enthusiastic readers.

Tender and cruel at one and the same time, floatingly light and profoundly sombre – this is the world of the Austrian artist Paul Flora. Diogenes first published a book by Paul Flora in 1953, and this was followed by forty others. Flora quickly made a name for himself as a master of the art of hatching, an artist who knows how to create poetic, impenetrable drawings consisting of thousands of fine and ultra-fine lines. This volume of Flora's work is comprehensive enough to be regarded as a retrospective – were it not for the fact that that it contains many new drawings done over the past five years.
