Barbara Morgan: Masters of Photography Series
by: Morgan, Barbara

Hardcover. NY, Aperture, 1st thus, 1999, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 96 pages. B&w photos throughout. Although celebrated for her extraordinary studies of modern dance in the late 1920s and early thirties, Barbara Morgan enjoyed an artistic career that embraced a wide range of philosophical and aesthetic influences. Her studies of pioneering dancers such as Martha Graham, Jose Limon, Erik Hawkins and Merce Cunningham capture the spirituality of a temporal art. She also combined photo-grams and light drawing to experiment with moving light patterns. A former painter, she used montage and manipulated imagery to express the visual and kinetic energy of New York City. Included in this volume are the finest examples of Morgan's work: dance photographs, photomontages, light drawings and other works from a long, varied photographic career. In the accompanying essay, Deba P. Patnaik, photo-historian and Executive Director of the Willard & Barbara Morgan Foundation, provides an overview of the development of Morgan's career and insight into the beliefs that informed her work.

Building a Grouse Dog (SIGNED COPY)by: Craig Doherty

Building a Grouse Dog (SIGNED COPY)
by: Craig Doherty

Softcover. Wilderness Adventures Press, 1st, 2019, Book: Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 178 pages, color illustrated. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. Building a Grouse Dog: From Puppy to Polished Performer by Craig Doherty, is the most comprehensive, how-to manual there is for taking an eight-week-old little squirmer of any pointing breed and turning him or her into that most coveted game bird finder there is: a finished grouse dog. Unlike many general pointing-dog training books, this one concentrates on one species the ruffed grouse. Grouse are notorious for their caginess, their wariness, and their difficulty in being pinned down so a hunter can get close enough to flush and shoot. It takes a dog that has been trained nearly from birth to handle that task, and no one knows how to do it better than Craig Doherty. Craig was the driving force behind Field Trial Magazine, is a columnist for The Pointing Dog Journal, regularly competes in grouse trials throughout the Northeast, professionally trains grouse dogs for clients from all over the country, and this is important guides grouse hunters using his own dogs trained in his outstanding methods; important because paying clients need results, and those results can only come by following dogs that know the game.

Softcover. Millerton NY, Aperture/MOMA, 1st pbk, 1972, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, (Twins on the cover). No additional printing stated indicating first softcover edition. 80 b&w plates by Arbus. Does contain the "Two girls in identical raincoats" photograph that was struck from all but a few copies due to legal controversy. Published posthumously, the year after her suicide, and in conjunction with a retrospective show at MOMA, the book was edited and designed by Arbus's daughter Doon and Marvin Israel. Diane Arbus left behind her career as a top fashion photographer and turned her attention to society's oddities and outsiders - twins, dwarves, giants, transvestites, the elderly and lonely. Her accent on these people was in no way mocking; rather, these portraits reveal her fascination with life's tragedies as destinies. Mild soil to wrappers.

George Herriman. Krazy Kat. The Complete Color Sundays 1935-1944
by: Braun, Alexander/George Herriman

Hardcover. NY, Taschen, 1st, 2025, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, A color facsimile of the complete pages of George Herriman's Krazy Kat 1935-44. One of the first comics to be considered a work of art, Krazy Kat delights with its characterization and visual-verbal creativity alongside the slapstick shenanigans between Krazy and Ignatz the mouse. This book comes with an illustrated introduction by Alexander Braun. The premise is simple: a black cat loves scheming a white mouse who incessantly throws bricks at the cat's head, which police dog Officer Pupp, secretly harboring a passionate love for the cat, tries to prevent. George Herriman endlessly plays with the above formula in his legendary newspaper strip Krazy Kat, published from 1913 until his death in 1944. Clean, bright copy, still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Immediate Family by: Sally Mann

Immediate Family
by: Sally Mann

Softcover. NY, Aperture Foundation, 5th pr., 1992, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, oblong format, b&w plates. Afterward by Reynolds Price. Mann's controversial third book. "Mann's subjects are her small children (a boy, a girl and a new baby), often shot when they're sick or hurt or just naked. Nosebleeds, cuts, hives, chicken pox, swollen eyes, vomiting -- the usual trials of childhood -- can be alarmingly beautiful, thrillingly sensual moments in Mann's portrait album. Her ambivalence about motherhood -- her delight and despair -- pushes Mann to delve deeper into the steaming mess of family life than most of us are willing to go. What she comes up with is astonishing. "-- Vince Aletti, The Village Voice. Clean copy.
