90 Degrees of Shade: 100 Years of Photography in The Caribbeanby: Gilroy, Paul (Foreword) - Product Image

90 Degrees of Shade: 100 Years of Photography in The Caribbean
by: Gilroy, Paul (Foreword)

Hardcover. US, Soul Jazz Books, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 200 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. Clean, unmarked copy with only minor wear to laminated cover boards. Color and black and white pictures throughout. The image of the Caribbean is as much a creation of the West as it is the result of its population's incredibly complex identity. A melting pot of races born of the 400-year slave trade--Africans, indigenous Americans and their French, Spanish, German, Dutch and English colonizers--the identity of the Caribbean stands at the intersection of tourism, colonialism and tropicality. This deluxe large-format volume features hundreds of fascinating and unique photographs that span 100 years of Caribbean history, culture, industry and more, as well as the subsequent diaspora of its people to America, England and elsewhere. The photographs show the many ways in which the region has been portrayed, from tropical backdrop of tourism and hedonism to colonial outpost and revolutionary threat in North America's own backyard.

Bermudian Journey by: Struss, Karl - Product Image

Bermudian Journey
by: Struss, Karl

Hardcover. Just Clicked Publications , 1st, 2004, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover. Features the photographic work of Academy Award winning Cinematographer Karl Struss taken when he visited Bermuda in the late 1950s. Mr. Struss first visited Bermuda in 1912. Enchanted with the island, he returned in the fall of 1913 to take more photographs. This led to his appointment in 1914 by the Bermuda Trade Development Board to take photographs for the Island's 1915-16 official tourists' guide, Bermuda: Nature's Fairyland. Mr. Struss did not return to Bermuda for more than 40 years, until the late 1950s when he came with his wife Ethel. His photographs from that trip show Bermuda on the cusp of social and economic change. The original transparencies were taken with Ektachrome colour film on a stereo camera.

by: Deborah Cullen, Antonio Saborit, et al.

Softcover. New Haven CT, Yale University Press, 1st, 2009, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 283 pages. An examination of the pioneering Caribbean and Latin American artists who resided in New York prior to WWII and shaped the American avant-garde Between 1900 and 1942, New York City was the site of extraordinary creative exchange where artists could share ideas in a global context. The swiftly changing urban landscape before and between the World Wars inspired the erosion of artistic boundaries and fostered a new climate of modernist experimentation. Nexus New Yorkfocuses on key artists from the Caribbean and Latin America who entered into dynamic cultural and social dialogues with the American-based avant-garde and participated in the development of a new modern discourse. Featuring both celebrated and little-known figures of this period, including Carlos Enriquez, Alice Neel, Marius de Zayas, Francis Picabia, Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Jose Clemente Orozco, Matta, and Robert Motherwell, contributing authors also discuss the specific environments in which they flourished, including the Art Students League, the Siqueiros Experimental Workshop, and the New School for Social Research. A fascinating look at 20th-century modernism, this book provides the first view of the important encounters between artists of the Americas.
