A Kind of Magic: The Kaleidoscopic World of Luke Edward Hall
Luke Edward Hall and Billal Taright
As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries, challenging gender roles and expressing their imagination and sexuality.
To capture the diversity of this global body of work, Luce Lebart and Marie Robert have invited 160 international women writers to contribute to this volume, which is a bold and beautifully illustrated manifesto as well as an invaluable work of reference.
Luke Edward Hall is an English artist, designer, and columnist. His philosophy is shaped by his love of storytelling and fantasy, and his colorful work is often inspired by history, filtered through a lens of irreverent romanticism. Since founding his studio in 2015, he has worked on a range of commissions, from interior design and fashion projects to murals and illustration work for books, restaurants, and hotels. He has collaborated with Burberry, Lanvin, Christie’s, Richard Ginori, Svenskt Tenn, Habitat, and Gant, as well as with the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and his drawings, paintings, and ceramics have been exhibited in London, Stockholm, Athens, and the US. Since 2019, Hall has answered readers’ questions on aesthetics, interior design, and stylish living in a weekly column in the Financial Times’s FT Weekend. His first book was Greco Disco: The Art & Design of Luke Edward Hall, and in 2020 his first large interior design project opened in Paris: the Hotel Les Deux Gares, a 33 bedroom hotel and bistro.
Billal Taright is a London based photographer renowned for his striking interiors, fashion, stilllife, and portraiture. After working with Dior in Paris, he opened his own studio in 2013, successfully straddling the interface of art and commercial photography. His work has been seen in Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Tatler, Cabana, and AD, and his fashion clients and collaborations include Hermès, Oscar de la Renta, Diane Von Furstenburg, Tory Burch, Nina Ricci, Peter Copping, Hikari Yokoyama, Richard Ginori, Sotheby’s, and many more.
