Tomi Ungerer

America

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designed, exclusive art volume presents approx. 330 illustrations, paintings and collages, many of them previously unpublished.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

The Beach Photographer's Monkey

Once upon a time, there was a beach photographer who got hold of a monkey. The monkey's job was to make people smile, because it is easy to sell photographs of smiling people. One day, people just didn't smile anymore. The photographer gave the monkey a glass of schnapps and some white powder to make him funnier. And funnier he became – but ill as well. And then he wanted revenge…

Paul Flora

Drawings 1938–2001

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.

Harald Naegeli

Cloud Letters

As ›Harry the Cloud‹, Harald Naegeli has been writing to ›Friends of the Cloud‹ at irregular intervals since 2013. In his rebellious and philosophical dispatches, he shares updates about his latest graffiti and drawings, but also about encounters with man and mammal, about the reading that inspires him, about his indestructible belief in utopia and his perspective of art - not only in the public sphere. Lines filled with absurdity, thoughtfulness and affection, all complemented by photos of his works: women and flamingoes, lightning bolts and fish, eyes and bugs - the universe of a unique artist.

»Everything is a play on something, and a direct hit, to the eye, to nothingness, to the heart! With love, your Cloud.«
Harald Naegeli

Rembrandt

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.
