Photobook - Paris Pictured - Julian Stallabrass
Hardback Size: 30.8 x 25.5 cm Pages: 114 Illustrations: Over 130 black & white photographs Published: 2002 Publisher: Royal Academy of Arts Stock number: 017759/0123 Price: £35 + P & P Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine and is protected by a clear removable sleeve. Orange cloth. This selection of images examines the growth and development of photography through the changing character of Paris in the remarkable period of 1900 - 1968. During these years, photography became a mass medium, with cheap reproductions appearing in the press. Technical advances made it possible to capture rapid movement and street photography flourished; some of the finest images in documentary photography were made on the streets of Paris by Atget, Brassai, Cartier - Bresson, Doisneau and Ronis, among many others. The transience of city life and the histories of Paris are brilliantly evoked in these images: from the elegiac photographs of the early twentieth century which recorded those quartiers later condemned by modernisation projects, through the Occupation, to the upheaval of the May 1968 demonstrations. With over 130 photographs and Julian Stallabrass's authoritative text, this book is an essential purchase for anyone interested in the art of photography and the city of Paris. -
Photobook - Richard Avedon - Performance
Hardback Size: 33 x 26 cm Pages: 304 Published: 2008 Publisher: Abrams Stock number: 017757/0123 Price: £125 + P & P Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket ( as Issued ). First Edition. Self - enfolding black cloth covered boards, each with laid on photographic plate. Dual spines. The boards are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. The pages are clean and bright. The closed page edges are crisp and bright. A lovely copy. Performance sizzles with the electric charge that passes between a great photographer and an incandescent artist when they share a purpose and a passion. The photographer Richard Avedon had, in his own words, 'a passion for high - definition performance and a faith in the religion of perpetual acceleration'. Or, as critic John Lahr says of Avedon, 'He was ravished by the articulate energy of great performers'. The preeminent stars and artists of the performing arts from the second half of the twentieth century offered Avedon their greatest gifts - and, sometimes, their inner lives. More than two hundred of them are portrayed in Performance, many in photographs that have rarely or never been seen before. Of course, the great stars light the way: Hepburn and Chaplin, Monroe and Garland, Brando and Sinatra. But here too are the actors and comedians, pop stars and divas, musicians and dancers, artists in all mediums with public lives that were and are essentially performances. The celebrated author and critic John Lahr offers an elegant assessment of Avedon's achievement. Four supremely talented artists from the performing arts - Mike Nichols, Andre Gregory, MitsUKo Uchida and Twyla Tharp - contribute lively and moving memoirs about their collaborations with Avedon. Finally, Performance is a remarkable achievement in book - making, from its innovative portfolio binding to the superb quality of its printing. Bound into a unique cloth portfolio case and includes facsimile printed on special paper. -
Photobook - Robert Doisneau - Jean Claude Gautrand
Hardback Size: 34.6 x 25.6 cm Pages: 540 Language: English, French, German Published: 2014 First edition Publisher: Taschen Stock number: 017754/0123 Price: £65 + P & P Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Book and dust jacket are in very good condition. As sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find - and perfectly frame - charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humour and affection. A summation of a spectacular career, this is the most extensive Doisneau collection ever published, including all his best - loved images alongside many lesser - known compositions which equally rejoice in the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations. The many quotations from the photographer throughout the volume immerse the reader in Doisneau's thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth, and wit which characterize his pictures. Through more than 400 images, we are transported to the grim suburbs of Doisneau's youth; the world of manual labor whose nobility he so admired; and to the studios of the many ground - breaking artists that Doisneau captured in moments of reflection and creativity. A number of colour shots of Palm Springs and the transformed suburbs of Doisneau's childhood reveal a different, more critical eye to the master photographer. For this new monograph on all aspects of the life and oeuvre of Robert Doisneau, his longtime friend and TASCHEN author Jean Claude Gautrand had unlimited access to the extensive photo archive Atelier Robert Doisneau. The preface is by Doisneau's daughters Francine Deroudille and Annette Doisneau. -
