Photographs in Ink complete with CD-ROM
Teaneck New Jersey: Fairleigh Dickinson University College Art Gallery 1996. Appears unread. Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NOT a library discard. Bright shiny clean square and tight. Sharp corners. Hinges are perfect. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh and crisp apparently never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. First printing. Unpaginated but 84 pages. This is the catalogue of an exhibition of 49 distinct photo-mechanical processes held at New Jersey's Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1996. There are handsome photographic illustrations throughout including sepia and full-color reproductions. Complete with CD-ROM with nearly 100 additional reproductions stored in a pocket at the end. Bound in the original dark green cloth stamped in shiny copper on the front cover. Includes the original copper-color dust jacket printed in bright white. From a review on the web: "PHOTOGRAPHS IN INK� documents an exhibition on the history of photomechanical processes held at Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1996. This difficult and rarely examined topic involves not only traditional photography and printmaking techniques but complex chemical formulas and intricate mechanical procedures. The authors themselves admit to having trouble distinguishing between processes. Therefore the benefit of viewing on a CD-ROM almost 100 examples beyond those in the print catalogue adds enormously to the success and lasting value of this publication. The exhibition and catalogue are the work of two curators David A. Hanson and Sidney Tillim and the show draws its work primarily from their private collections. Tillim the catalogue's essayist has expanded on his exhibition PHOTOGRAPHY REPRODUCTION PRODUCTION Bennington Vt.: Bennington College 1992 with the help of Hanson author of four useful scholarly studies of the early photomechanical processes� PHOTOGRAPHS IN INK exhibited and the CD-ROM illustrates 120 entries produced by 119 inventors and/or companies involving 49 distinct photomechanical processes. Illustrating such extensive documentation would not be feasible in a printed catalogue but is easily accommodated through digital technology. At the same time the print catalogue provides the more aesthetically satisfying paper reproductions of a paper-based process. The exhibition and catalogue are arranged chronologically from the earliest 1824 heliographic engraving by Joseph Nic�phore Ni�pce published by Blanquart-�vrard in 1870 to the halftones by Dorthea Lange published by Elizabeth McCausland in 1946. Major printing techniques are divided into four categories: intaglio planographic relief and woodburytype� The print catalogue is uniquely designed to highlight its 30 full-color plates. The catalogue essay is inserted on narrow sheets between the plates so as not to obscure more than a small portion of the illustrations� Appendices include a glossary to help understand the terminology of the processes an alphabetical list of inventors and their inventions and an exhibition checklist. The accompanying CD-ROM begins with a slide show leading quickly to a homepage which offers six options: checklist inventors and processes glossary credits help and quit� In addition to the checklist items the CD-ROM reproduces images of book covers title pages and illustrations not included in the exhibition. Many examples allow for magnification to show a detail of the individual process such as dot or screen patterns. The inventors' section provides portraits of most photographers along with information concerning their photographic discoveries. In this way content of the catalogue and CD-ROM complement each other without simply duplicating the information. Each utilizes the strengths of the individual medium to help define and illustrate the difficult distinctions between photomechanical processes. Ultimately PHOTOGRAPHS IN INK provides much needed insight into the history and aesthetic beauty of photomechanical illustration while documenting a worthy exhibition for future generations of art scholars." -- Julie Mellby Harvard University.

Torres Fina Sarmiento Alvaro
Neruda: entierro y testamento
<p>"In September 1973 Fina Torres a photojournalist active in Venezuela at that time was in Santiago during the coup that overthrew the government of the Unidad Popular. She photographed the damage done by the artillery to the facade of the Palacio de la Moneda the armed soldiers in the streets and other unsettling scenes of everyday life at the time: the cleaning of painted slogans from the walls people lining up to buy food the surveillance of the embassies and the anguished seriousness of people waiting outside the morgue. Photographs of similar scenes can be found in the photobook Chili September 1973 by Koen Wessing one of whose images is virtually identical to another taken by Torres. Both photographed a dark-haired girl standing at the door of the nourgue and showing the ID photo of a soldier. Torres decided to repeat the image to show more clearly the features of the young man who had disappeared and Wessing did the same. Ten days after the coup the poet Pablo Neruda died in a clinic in Santiago. Torres photographed the funeral procession which also laid to rest the Unidad Popular and a whole era of leftist aspirations. The procession turned into a demonstration in spite of the menacing presence of numerous armed soldiers. Fina Torres left a testimony of the vigil held around the dead body of Neruda. As she racalls she was "the only photographer in the writer's residence on the day of his death." The house had been entered and sacked by the soldiers an event almost prophesied in the lines "Traitor / generals: / behold my dead house" from España en el Corazon. The photos show empty shelves ashes from the auto-da-fé open closets flooded rooms and other signs of plunder and destruction - images of the desolation that the deceased poet's relatives also captured by Torres' camera seem not to notice"</p><p>Horacio Fernandez in The Latin American Photobook p 102.</p><p>Text in Spanish: Sarmiento Alvaro. 47 BW ills by Torres Fina cm 14x19; pp. 152; paperback in fine condition. A wonderful and rare document of a serious photobook.</p> Inventarios Provisionales paperback
