Der Franzose, der Grimassen zog - Im New York des Jahres 1948 fand eine denkwürdige Begegnung zwischen dem Fotografen Philippe Halsman und dem französischen Filmstar Fernandel („Don Camillo“) statt. Der Fotograf bat den Schauspieler an einem ungewöhnlichen fotografischen Versuch teilzunehmen: Halsman würde Fernandel Fragen über Amerika stellen, auf die er allein mit Gesichtsausdrücken antworten solle. Mit seinem breiten, liebenswerten Pferdegesicht mimte Fernandel Antworten auf Fragen, wie „Kneift der Durchschnittsfranzose heutzutage immer noch im Gedränge hübsche Mädchen?“ (albernes Grinsen) oder „Wie war Ihre Reaktion auf das großartige amerikanische Baseballspiel?“ (verwirrt). Fernandels Grimassen sind brüllend komisch und das Buch, das aus diesem Zusammentreffen entstand, ist einfach nur wunderbar. TASCHEN hat The Frenchman nach über 50 Jahren Dornröschenschlaf nun wieder zum Leben erweckt. Denken Sie dran: Lachen ist gesund!

Making a highly original visual Q&A with France's most beloved comic actor In New York in 1948, photographer Philippe Halsman had a chance meeting with Fernandel, a French movie star from the vaudeville tradition, and asked the actor to participate in a completely original photographic experiment. Halsman would ask Fernandel questions about America to which he would respond using only facial expressions. With his wide, lovable horse-face, Fernandel mimicked the answers to such questions as "Does the average Frenchman still pinch pretty girls in a crowd?" (silly grin) and "What was your reaction to the great American game of baseball?" (perplexed). Fernandel`s reactions are laugh-out-loud funny, and the book that resulted from this unusual collaboration is nothing short of wonderful. The Frenchman has been out of print for over fifty years, but TASCHEN`s reprint thankfully brings it back to life.

Cult classic and collector's item, Dali's Mustache is the result of the astonishing artistic collaboration between surrealist Salvador Dali and experimental photography pioneer Philippe Halsman. Dali and Halsman were friends as well as professional collaborators for more than three decades.Subtitled A Photographic Interview, the concept of the book is one short question presented to Dali, which Dali answers, followed by a corresponding black-and-white photograph by Halsman. The photographs are intentionally absurd and hilarious. Early editions of this book came with a warning on the back that said "Warning! This book is preposterous."Question: "I have the feeling, to have discovered your secret, Salvador. Could it be that you are crazy?" Answer: "I am certainly saner than the person who bought this book."
