Within the canon of European photography books it would be difficult to find one more famous, revered and influential as Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment, wrote Jeffrey Ladd in Time LightBox, in a feature on Steidl's new edition of this ultimate photobook classic. Originally published in 1952, this collection of Cartier-Bresson's best work from his early years was embellished with a collage cover by Henri Matisse. The book has since influenced generations of photographers, while its English title defined the notion of the famous peak in which all elements in the photographic frame accumulate to form the perfect image―not the moment of the height of the action, necessarily, but the formal, visual peak. This new publication―the first and only reprint since the original 1952 edition―is a meticulous facsimile of the original book that launched the artist to international fame, with an additional booklet on the history of The Decisive Moment by Centre Pompidou curator Clément Chéroux.

Cym Warkov creates timeless ceramic vessels that are imbued with qualities of both that of an archaeological find and a sensual modernity. Her process can be best described as an organic collaboration between herself and the materials involved in making each piece. That ongoing conversation between imagination/construction, artist/elements is fully immersed in the concept that there is elegance in simplicity and beauty in imperfection. Art and alchemy are in constant play as she extracts the most essential and harmonious aspects. Stillness and movement is equally reflected in each hand-made vessel. They are textured, sculptural forms born out of an intuitive authenticity.

“Mexico is truly the promised land of abstract art,” Josef Albers wrote to his former Bauhaus colleague Vasily Kandinsky in 1936. Josef Albers in Mexico reveals the profound link between the art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica and Albers’ abstract works on canvas and paper. With his wife, the artist Anni Albers, Albers toured pre-Columbian archeological sites and monuments during his 12 or more trips to Mexico and other Latin American countries between 1935 and 1968. On each visit, Albers took black-and-white photographs of pyramids, shrines, sanctuaries and landscapes, which he later assembled into rarely seen photo collages. The resulting works demonstrate Albers’ continued formal experimentation with geometry, this time accentuating a pre-Columbian aesthetic.

A trio of demitasse brass candle cups infused with a tincture of essentials and absolutes extracted from beautiful and natural plant substances.

Each beautiful box contains a set of one fragrance in our custom hand forged brass cups.  

Each hand forged brass cup holds 2 ounces, with approximate 10 hour burn time. Total product weight 6 ounces.

- Hinoki, well known for it's relaxing therapeutic effect, emotes the sweet odor of scented smoke that is centuries old. Earthly aromas of fir needle and sacred cypress trail beautifully underneath spicy black peppercorn which gives a sparkling kick to our zen forest blend. Rich dark patchouli and masculine vetiver layered with lime and ginger add savory middle notes. A distillation of natural warm and woody resins and rich spices topped with a green herbaceous bouquet of minty, grassy shiso.

Notes;

TOP Lime, Ginger, Shiso.

MIDDLE Fir Needle, Pepper, Patchouli, Vetiver.

BASE Cedarwood, Cypress

--------------------------------

-  Orange Flower, The essential oils distilled from orange blossoms are magical in creating atmosphere that lifts the soul. Green mandarin essence beautifully compliments neroli and petitgrain for a sweet, warm, and delicate orange scent burning in our little pots of gold. The distilled flowers and leaves of clary sage collected at the end of the blooming season blend into our citrus absolutes for depth, with a few drops of pure sweet fennel quietly resting in the base. One ton of delicate orange blossoms are required to produce a quart of the fragrant oil. Absolutely heaven sent.

Notes;

TOP Neroli, Orange Blossom, Petitgrain

MIDDLE Green Mandarin

BASE Clary Sage, Fennel

---------------------------------------------

 Blooming Osmanthus 

The aromatic extract of osmanthus comes from the cherished golden flowers of the Far East, derived from all-natural aroma compounds that were responsibly and sustainably sourced. The gorgeous olfactory profile is artistically blended with natural absolutes to evoke heavenly scented flowers of the seasons. With bright top notes of violet leaves and mandarin, the solitary heart note of osmanthus, and coriander resting in the base, likening the phases of the moon to the budding and blooming of trees.

Notes;

TOP Violet Leaves, Mandarin
