Red cloth boards in very good condition. In a fine photo - illustrated dust jacket, also in very good condition and is protected by a clear removable sleeve. Commissioned by the best - known fashion magazines of the time, including Italian and French Vogue, these portraits of what Vogue once called 'The Bailey Kind of Girl' include models such as Jean Shrimpton, Marie Helvin, Penelope Tree, and Bailey's wife, Catherine Dyer. Blended with these are Bailey's startling ethnographic portraits of, for example, Asaro mud men and Indian dancers, and his own paintings, at the heart of which lies an abstract kind of beauty. In his illuminating introduction, Robin Muir sets these photographs in the context of the period in which they were taken and reminds us that for over forty years Bailey has challenged our notions of female beauty with his own highly personal vision.

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 - Walker Evans - The Magazine Work - David Campany

Hardback Size: 32.5 x 25.2 cm Pages: 224 Published: 2014 First edition Publisher: Steidl, Germany Stock number: 017752/0123 Price: £45 + P & P Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition. A very fine copy in illustrated white paper covered boards, without jacket as issued. Plates, printed in sepia, with long introductory essay by David Campany. Walker Evans was one of the most important and influential artists of the twentieth century, producing a body of photographs that continues to shape our understanding of the modern era. He worked in every genre and format, in black and white and in colour, but two passions were constant: literature and the printed page. While his photographic books are among the most significant in the medium’s history, Evans’s more ephemeral pages remain largely unknown. In small avant - garde publications and mainstream titles such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Architectural Forum, Life and Fortune he produced innovative and independent journalism, often setting his own assignments, editing, writing and designing his pages. Presenting many of his photo - essays in their entirety, Walker Evans: The Magazine Work assembles the unwritten history of this work, allowing us to see how he protected his autonomy, earned a living and found audiences far beyond the museum and gallery.

Photobook-Bruce Weber-Blood Sweat and Tears or how I stopped worrying and learned to love fashion Hardback Pages: 448 Size: 29.2 x 38.1 cm Published: 2005 Publisher: teNeues Publishing (UK) Ltd Stock number: RG1843/0124 Price: £145 + P&P by Bruce Weber: At first I thought strictly about a book of photographs on fashion. As I worked on it, I thought more and more about something my friend the late, great fashion designer Gianni Versace once said, in giving me advice before an assignment, Call me des mode, but give me beauty. And with these inspired words I wanted to make a record of how I journeyed out into the world and recorded what most people call fashion. These photographs were not just about the shape of clothes, but also how one sees fashion in nature, architecture, and in the human spirit. When I began photographing, I was at Life Magazine borrowing some equipment. I ran into a bunch of other photographers in the camera department. One photographer asked, what kind of photos are you doing for the magazine? I replied, I am going to do some pictures of girls in bathing suits. They all burst out laughing at me, and said, that doesn t sound too serious. That s when I knew that as a photographer I didn t want people to stop laughing with me. That laughter can be found in a picture of a girl wearing a dress by Yohji Yamamoto that s so big she can t even walk in it or a boy wearing twigs as a tunic at Karl Lagerfeld s chateau in Brittany or the Duchess of Devonshire feeding her pet chickens in a Jean Patou couture evening dress from the 1940s. In this crazy world of ours, most things don t make sense any more, but the wonderful thing about taking pictures of people wearing or not wearing clothes is that maybe you won t solve all the world s problems but you ll at least be giving back a seed of imagination to our garden of lost innocence. And it s fashion that can create a big fantasy life for all those who enter. Condition: Very good+ to fine condition. First edition. Original red cloth with black lettering on cover and spine, in original photo-illustrated dustjacket with white lettering on spine. Illustrated endpapers. Three b/w frontispieces. Title page printed in red and black. Introduction by Bruce Weber and additional text, letters and poems by Brook Astor, Truman Capote, Emily Dickinson, Ogden Nash, Edna O'Brian, Francoise Sagan, Elizabeth Taylor, Dylan Thomas and Tennessee Williams.
