Softcover. Canberra AU, National Gallery of Australia, 1st, 2011, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 96 pages. From his studio in the heart of New York, Australian-born Anton Bruehl created inventive and perfectly realized color photographs for advertisements in top American magazines such as Vogue and the New Yorker. Seen by the millions of readers, his ads had a dedicated following eliciting bags of fan mail. As well as advertising, Bruehl produced evocative images of stars of stage and screen, other celebrities, seasonal child studies, and his personal photography in the classic documentary tradition including his award-winning photo book Mexico (1933) and Tropic patterns (1970). Essays cover the early lives of the Bruehl brothers in Australia; Anton's success in New York, including his most famous and whimsical advertising campaigns; and fascinating details on Bruehl-Bourges color process which gave Breuhl's photographs their distinctive look. Illustrated with Bruehl's photographs, magazine prints, and printers proofs, this book is a must for anyone interested in photography, advertising, and popular culture. In publisher's shrinkwrap.
Softcover. Yonkers NY, Fordham University Press , 1st, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 175 pages illustrated in color. It was not until the first decade of the twentieth century, as artists like Robert Henri and John Sloan turned their attention to the urban scene, that American art shifted its focus from bucolic landscapes to the cities, the towns, the crowds, especially the raucous urban scene of Manhattan--by then the nation's most important metropolis. This movement away from painting the land to painting the life on the street is often seen as a clean break with the depiction of the landscape, and with landscape painting generally as a mainstay of American art in the face of European Modernism. However, artists continued to paint the Hudson River, as well as its tributaries, the Harlem and East rivers, and the great harbor of New York City into which they flowed. What was different was their approach. Having jettisoned the romantic ideals of their forebears, artists like Henri and Sloan, and later, Georgia O'Keeffe, George Ault, Edward Hopper, and Preston Dickinson, celebrated the changing way of life along the city's waterfront. As the century progressed, they did so with sharper focus and with ideals borrowed from the Machine Age. Instead of majestic mountain ranges, their subjects were the arching bridges, swinging cranes, and streamlined ocean liners resting in the harbor. These artists took the elements of the Sublime, combined them with Modernism's interest in structure and form, and applied them to the manmade industrial one--thereby creating a new visual vocabulary for the twentieth century: the Industrial Sublime.

Hardcover. New York, Abrams, 1st, 2016, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 288 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Very clean, like new in publishers shrink-wrap. A tight copy. Inge Morath: On Style reveals the vital forms of fashion and self-expression that blossomed into existence in England, France, and the United States in the postwar decades. The book follows the photojournalist Inge Morath (1923-2002) through intimate sessions with Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn; scenes of window-shopping on Fifth Avenue; American girls discovering Paris; the frenetic splendor of society balls; and working women--from actresses to seamstresses to writers--everywhere taking their place in the world. The photographs in On Style focus on an extraordinary period of Morath's creativity, from the early 1950s to mid- 1960s, with a coda of work from later years. Here are the fundamental humanism, joy, and unerring eye for life's brilliant theatricality that characterized her work and made her one of the most celebrated photographers of her time.
