Andre Kertesz: Paris, Autumn 1963by: Andre Kertesz (Author), Matthieu Rivallin (Introduction)

Andre Kertesz: Paris, Autumn 1963
by: Andre Kertesz (Author), Matthieu Rivallin (Introduction)

Hardcover. NY, Flammarion, 1st, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 80 pages illustrated in b&w. A previously unpublished body of work from the late, great photographer Andre Kertesz, featuring a collection of photographs that capture the ephemeral beauty of Paris in 1963. Andre Kertesz, a master photographer of the twentieth century, was a pioneer in photographic composition and photojournalism who gained critical acclaim for his image distortions. Born in Hungary, he moved from Paris to New York during World War II. In 1963, he returned to Paris and took more than 2,000 black-and-white photographs and nearly 500 slides that capture the city's essence--from Montmartre to the banks of the Seine to its gardens and parks. Kertesz edited these photographs into book form, but the work was set aside and was only recently rediscovered in his archives, twenty-five years after his death. The previously unpublished material is reproduced here as he originally intended and completed with archival documents and a critical essay.

Locke's Travels In France 1675-1679: As Related In His Journals, Correspondence And Other Papers by: Lough, John

Locke's Travels In France 1675-1679: As Related In His Journals, Correspondence And Other Papers
by: Lough, John

Hardcover. Cambridge UK, Cambridge University Press, 1st, 1953, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover in a worn dust jacket with a chunk gone from rear panel, 309 pages. This book gives a complete account of all that Locke saw, did and heard during his four years in France. The entries vary from laconic jottings to detailed accounts - full of colour and wit - of life in Paris and the provinces. Locke's variety of interests presents a vivid and thorough account of France at that time. He observed and recorded the absolutism of Louis XIV and the poverty of the peasants, the growing persecution of the Protestants and the external manifestations of Catholicism, recent developments in science and technology - even agricultural methods and the system of taxes. So that this is a book for the general reader as well as for the student of Locke, the social historian and the historian of science. Three b&w plates including a map of his travels. Name on front fly leaf, rubber withdrawn stamp on copyright page, otherwise clean.
