Cliché-Verre - Miniatures On Glass

Brian Allan Skinner

Cliché-verre is a technique of etching and painting directly on photographic negatives. The term means “glass negative” in French and is as old as photography itself, dating to the 1840s and earlier. The first successful photographic process involved coating glass plates with light-sensitive chemicals from which reversed (positive) prints could be made. Artists experimented with drawing, etching, and combining images directly on the glass, resulting in fanciful black-and-white prints. But few artists were inspired to develop the idea further until the advent of color photography in the early 20th Century. 
The Magic Lantern, long predating photography, was invented by Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch astronomer and physicist, in the 1600s. It is a simple device for projecting images, based upon the centuries-old principles of the “camera obscura” or “darkened room.” When the photographic process evolved to  
film rather than glass plates, the technology spread. Color film arrived in the 1930s. There were now both film negatives and positives (slides). 
Brian Allan Skinner is the author of six volumes of illustrated fiction. His experiments with cliché-verre began in the 1960s. Here are 50 examples of his work from the past half-century, in brilliant color. In the epilogue, he explains his process in detail.

Madvillain's Madvillainy

Will Hagle

This book celebrates Madvillainy as a representation of two genius musical minds melding to form one revered supervillain. A product of circumstance, the album came together soon after MF DOOM's resurgence and Madlib's reluctant return from avant-garde jazz to hip-hop.Written from the alternating perspectives of three fake music journalist superheroes—featuring interviews with Wildchild, M.E.D., Walasia, Daedelus, Stones Throw execs,  and many other real individuals involved with the album's creation—this book blends fiction and non-fiction to celebrate Madvillainy not just as an album, but as a folkloric artifact. It is one specific retelling of a story which, like Madvillain’s music, continues to spawn infinite legends.

Nothing New But Abortive Gasp -...

Ludwig Kamberlein

„Nothing New But 'Abortive Gasp'“ portrays the short-lived, controversial Hamburg electro-industrial band Abortive Gasp (1987–1989). Founded by Harry Luehr (instruments) and Tim Paal (vocals) with rotating guests, they stood out for their high improvisation – unusual in the electronic scene. Their sound mixed early dub, parodies of Front 242/Ministry, and ironic-anarchic elements. As „Hamburg Bunker Bands“ (with Girls Under Glass), they played clubs like Kir or Stairways near the Schanzenviertel Flakbunker – a refuge from scene hostility.
The name „Abortive Gasp“ (antinatalist undertones) triggered constant debates as an alleged attack on family norms, though the band never took an explicit stance on abortion. Harry Luehr later: „The name can be programmatic, but it was more a vague premonition of our future paths.“ Childlessness was viewed as failure in the late 80s; today it’s normal (career, pets, free sexuality as balance).
Their openly apolitical attitude – „We don't need any moral standards!“ – isolated them in left-leaning Hamburg indie circles; international supporters (Don Campau, Brian Duguid) were more open. Despite provocations, it ended in 1989: Final gig supporting Borghesia at Kir. „End, out, over … Break successfully completed.“
The feature contrasts the era’s taboo-breaking openness (Skinny Puppy, Marilyn Manson hailed as subversive) with today’s sensitivity: Creative edge now only accepted with „clean“ political alignment – exactly what Abortive Gasp refused. It illuminates the left’s shift toward state reconciliation, rising sex-negativity in progressive spaces, and why apolitical-provocative art barely survives today – especially in Gothic/Darkwave scenes demanding explicit stances.
This is the English version as primary/supplementary chapter; the German version („Nichts Neues außer 'Abortive Gasp'“) precedes it as the first chapter.
