‎Saul Leiter (b. 1923 in Pittsburgh) has only in recent years received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to take photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on the streets of New York, but at the same time was visibly interested in abstraction. Edward Steichen was one of the first to discover Leiter's photography, showing it in the 1950s in two important exhibitions at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Back then color photography was regarded as "low art," fit only for advertising. Leiter accordingly worked primarily as a fashion photographer, for magazines such as Esquire and Harper's Bazaar. Nearly forty years would go by before his extraordinary artistic color photography was rediscovered. This book, published to mark the first major retrospective of Leiter's work anywhere in the world, features for the first time, in addition to his early black and white and color images, his fashion photography, the overpainted nudes, as well as his paintings and sketchbooks.‎

‎Anne Brigman. The Photographer of Enchantment‎

‎Testo di Kathleen Pyne. Illustrazioni in bianco e nero dedicate al lavoro di Anne Brigman. Edizione inglese . 4to (28,5x22,5 cm). pp. 244. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . The life and work of an essential photographer whose feminism and pictorialist images distanced her from the mainstream.In the first book devoted to Anne Brigman (1869–1950), Kathleen Pyne traces the groundbreaking photographer's life from Hawai"i to the Sierra and elsewhere in California, revealing how her photographs emerged from her experience of local place and cultural politics. Brigman's work caught the eye of the well-known photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who welcomed her as one of the original members of his Photo-Secession group. He promoted her work as exemplary of his modernism and praised her Sierra landscapes with female nudes—work that at the time separated Brigman from the spiritualized upper-class femininity of other women photographers. Stieglitz later drew on Brigman's images of the expressive female body in shaping the public persona of Georgia O'Keeffe into his ideal woman artist. This nuanced account reasserts Brigman's place among photography's most important early advocates and provides new insight into the gender and racialist dynamics of the early twentieth-century art world, especially on the West Coast of the United States. La vita e l'opera di una fotografa importantissima il cui femminismo e le cui immagini pittorialiste la allontanarono dal mainstream artistico dell'epoca.Nel primo libro dedicato ad Anne Brigman (1869-1950), Kathleen Pyne ripercorre la vita dell'innovativa fotografa dalle Hawaii alla Sierra e altrove in California, rivelando come le sue fotografie siano emerse dall'esperienza dei luoghi e delle politiche culturali locali. Il lavoro di Brigman attirò l'attenzione del noto fotografo Alfred Stieglitz, che la accolse come uno dei membri originali del suo gruppo Photo-Secession. Stieglitz promosse il suo lavoro come fondamentale per il suo modernismo e lodò i suoi paesaggi diella Sierra con nudi femminili - un lavoro che all'epoca separava Brigman dalla femminilità spiritualizzata dell'alta borghesia di altre donne fotografe. In seguito Stieglitz si ispirò alle immagini del corpo femminile di Brigman per plasmare il personaggio pubblico di Georgia O'Keeffe. Questo resoconto ricco di sfumature riafferma il posto di Brigman tra i più importanti sostenitori della fotografia e fornisce nuovi spunti di riflessione sulle dinamiche di genere e razziali del mondo dell'arte del primo Novecento, soprattutto sulla costa occidentale degli Stati Uniti.‎

‎144 pages plus approximately 200 pages of sumptuous color and black and white photos, a glossary of decorative motifs on cloisonne, and a bibliography. "For the connoisseur and collector interested in Chinese cloisonne, a comprehensive pictorial documentation including detailed reproductions of all marks, even doubtful or misleading ones, seemed to us more sensible and useful than any other alternative. For this reason captions were kept as brief a spossible, and detailed discussion and assessment of major and key pieces were relegated to the introductory chapters, for which a historial approach was adopted. We have endeavored to propose dates as cautionsly as possible, taking into account our close scrutiny and all available information." - Author's Preface. Light wear to attractive cream cloth-bound boards. Contents clean, bright and unmarked. Moderate wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodaft. A nice copy of this beautiful work.
