Signs of Lifeby: Sekaer, Peter

Signs of Life
by: Sekaer, Peter

Hardcover. GR, Steidl, 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 200 pages. Peter Sekaer (1901-50) emerged as an artist in the company of Ben Shahn, Berenice Abbott, and Walker Evans. This book intends to show how he stepped from their benign shadows to build his own distinctive style. It is the first monograph to show the full range of his accomplishments. Sekaer's early work combines dispassionate images with others that show his concern and intuitive grasp of the human condition. Many of his most memorable photographs were made while fulfilling mundane assignments for various government agencies. Sekaer had none of the reformer's passion found in the works of Jacob Riis or Lewis Hine. His stance was more that of the artist/anthropologist, who delighted in recording the artifacts and gestures that defined American society in the 1930s.

by: Nagler, Gillian (Editor)

Hardcover. US, The MIT Press, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. Remainder mark on top page block. Boston played a crucial role in the development of American photography, including criticism, collecting, and curating, in the second half of the twentieth century. This book accompanies a landmark exhibition at the DeCordova Museum that includes such important American artists as Berenice Abbott, Harry Callahan, Paul Caponigro, Marie Cosindas, Harold Edgerton, Nan Goldin, Jerome Liebling, Nicholas Nixon, Barbara Norfleet, Olivia Parker, Rosamond Purcell, Aaron Siskind, and Minor White.The period from 1955 to 1985 reflects photography's acceptance as an art form, the influence of modernism, and the coalescence of a unique constellation of educational institutions, museums, and technological development in the Boston area that directly influenced artistic options for photography. Minor White's arrival at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1965 to run the Center for Creative Photography and the Polaroid Corporation's innovative support of photographic art suggest how developments built upon one another to create a regional critical mass in photography.The book contains twenty-five color plates, sixty duotones, and essays by A.

Always in search of "what is happening at the edges," his work reveals beauty, mystery, and a sense of adventure. Part photography retrospective and part personal memoir, this book paints a full picture -through images and narrative -of the life of a globe-trekking photographer over the past half century.

Skrebneski: Five Beautiful Women
by: Skrebneski, Victor

Hardcover. Boston, New York Graphic Society, 1st, 1987, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 159 pages, large format. B&w plates throughout. Introduction by Hubert de Givenchy. Skrebneski is celebrated as one of the world's finest fashion and portrait photographers. His diverse body of work has won him international accolades and, for more than half a century, he has photographed the world's most famous people, from Orson Welles, Truman Capote, and Audrey Hepburn to Andy Warhol, David Bowie, and Iman. In 1962, Skrebneski became the exclusive photographer for Estee Lauder, and over the years his flawless images of models such as Paulina Porizkova and Willow Bay made history. Five Beautiful Women is an elegant portfolio published to commemorate his twenty-five year collaboration with Estee Lauder. For the project, five distinctly beautiful models were chosen--Phyllis Connor, Karen Harris, Karen Graham, Shaun Casey, and Willow Bay--and, as Hubert de Givenchy notes, "[Skrebneski] succeeded in his very personal way to convey not only the external individuality of his subjects but, what in my opinion is most important, their inner beings."

Home Front: American Flags from Across the United Statesby: Elliott, Peter

Home Front: American Flags from Across the United States
by: Elliott, Peter

Hardcover. Lily Bay Press, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcovr, 98 pages. After the horrendous events of September 2001, photographer Peter Elliott loaded his cameras and some clothes into his car and began a cross-country journey, looking for the flag. He found it everywhere: painted on a retaining wall in Tacoma, flying over a trailer in Bozeman, carried billowing by a lone man walking a sandbar in Florida, made of plastic cups stuck in a fence in Mississippi, draped over a fake horse in Salinas, immaculately hanging from a Beverly Hills mansion's window. Home Front is both a tribute to the profound emotions of the country and a testament to Elliott's eye. His genius in these eighty-seven arresting images is to wed these serendipitous meetings with the flag to a language of light and composition that draws as much from classic landscape photography as it does from urban visual idioms. Elliott manages to convey here America's stirring and complex national character, one in which those who have not benefited from the nation's prosperity nonetheless feel the same sense of pride as those who have. With its inspiring introduction by Julia Reed, Home Front is the record--both somber and joyous--of Elliott's encounters with spontaneous patriotism.

Time Frames: City Picturesby: Michael Spano and Susan Kismaric

Time Frames: City Pictures
by: Michael Spano and Susan Kismaric

Hardcover. NY, powerHouse, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 112 pages. Time Frames, Michael Spano's long-awaited first monograph, catalogues the artist's exploration of spatial and temporal dimensions in photography. The book is divided into five chapters: Panoramas, Grids, Portraits, Multi-Exposures, and Diptychs; each employs a distinctive technical process to provide a new way of looking at life in New York City. Panoramas (1977-1983) show interacting urbanites moving through elongated frames as the lens of an extremely wide field camera pans during exposure. Grids (1980-1990) captures eight moments on a single negative as Spano moves through a sequence of events, pre-determinedly exposing a portion of the grid every four seconds. Portraits (1984-1990) focus on individual inhabitants transformed and etched out from their settings through the solarization and blurring forms into an atmospheric world. Multi-Exposures (1985-1998) combine solarizations with multiple perspectives. These single-negative layered compositions orchestrate and compress selected intervals of time and space into one image. Diptychs (1998-1999) fuse two distinct moments on one negative where scale, focal planes, and perspectives shift and comprise a dual image of urban spaces.
