‎SIRE AGNES EDITOR & INTRODUCTION; CHEVRIER JEAN FRANCOIS ESSAY‎

‎Photographing America: Henri Cartier-bresson / Walker Evans: 1929-1947‎

‎Thames and Hudson London: 2009. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. An unrivalled opportunity to confront and compare the visions of these photographic masters. Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson belonged to the same generation and shared an insatiable intellectual curiosity. Their works were exhibited together in 1935 at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York and they shared a period working in America when Cartier-Bresson was preparing his show at the Museum of Modern Art between 1946 and 1947. This book draws a parallel between their work about America. As John Szarkowski Director of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art argued 'Evans defined in his work the essence of the documentary aesthetic.' Cartier-Bresson on the other hand was making a fresh start leaving behind his work in moving imagery and embracing a career as a stills photographer. But they were both approaching their work as a form of social criticism imbued with references to literature and painting. Agn�s Sire is Director of the Fondation Cartier-Bresson in Paris. Jean-Fran�ois Chevrier is an art historian art critic and exhibition curator. He is lecturer in the History of Contemporary Art at the �cole nationale suprieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a contributor to Galeries Magazine. "Cartier-Bresson was and is a true man of the eye. More he was one of the few innovators in photography" - Walker Evans on the American publication of Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment1952 'If it had not been for the challenge of the work of Walker Evans I don't think I would have remained a photographer' - Henri Cartier-Bresson 2001 Includes 120 tritone images.

‎PHOTOGRAPHY: LOS ANGELES‎

‎Would-Be Starlets in Los Angeles.‎

‎Los Angeles: N.p. 1930. Seven original photographs 8 x 10 inches showing two attractive young women posing in Westwood Village in Los Angeles in 1930. Obviously taken by a professional photographer not mentioned though these photographs show Sydney Melbourne and Joyce Carroll in seven posed shots in Westwood. The names are obviously stage names Joyce Carroll actually looked like film Star Nancy Carroll. The Westwood campus of the University of California opened in 1929 with 5500 students. The original four buildings were the College Library now Powell Library Royce Hall the Physics-Biology Building now the Humanities Building and the Chemistry Building now Haines Hall arrayed around a quadrangular courtyard on the 400 acre campus. They continued to build other structures for quite some time. Two of the images show the gals in front of a the barely built sorority row. Two show them at the Gate to the campus on Le Conte. One shows them in front of DG house and three show them at the construction site of the Fox Theater in Westwood. Designed by architect Percy Parke Lewis the Fox was originally built in 1930 and first opened on August 14 1931 with a Spanish Mission style to it. The theatre was part of a widespread cinema construction program undertaken by Fox West Coast Theatres. The Fox Theater quickly became the most recognizable symbol of the new Westwood Village a Mediterranean-style village development adjoining the University of California Los Angeles planned by Harold and Edwin Janss of the Janss Investment Company. The Fox Village Theatre is typically thought of as one of if not the best movie premiere venue in the world. For 60 years some of the biggest films in cinema have premiered at the theatre. All of the photographs bear captions and all of them also state "Janss Inv. Co" N.p. unknown‎

‎PHOTOGRAPHY: AMERICAN POLITICS‎

‎MacyÕs Convention Club at the Democratic National Convention. Madison Square Garden June 24 to July 9 1924.‎

‎New York: Macy's Department Store 1924. Original photograph album detailing activities at the MacyÕs Convention Center at the infamous 1924 Democratic Convention commonly referred to as the Ã’Klanbake ConventionÓ. MacyÕs set up their Convention Center at the Garden Theater adjacent to Madison Square Garden. Folio 13 x 19 inches. 68 leaves bearing 48 original 8 x 10 inch photographs captioned in white ink numerous newspaper articles a slew of original signed letters by various dignitaries commending MacyÕs . The book/album is broken up into 12 chapters. The opening page to each chapter bears professional calligraphic lettering and charming colored drawings. The whole bound in contemporary half black morocco over cloth with gilt spine lettering. Some rubbing to leather and one page loose. A magnificent production. The 1924 Democratic Convention took place in Madison Square Garden and MacyÕs Convention Center was held in the adjoining theater. The heading of Chapter I reads: Ã’The Democratic Convention is tendered facilities of a club room and lounge by R. H. Macy & Co. Inc. as an expression of welcome to the visiting delegates. The Green Theatre adjoining the Convention Hall in Madison Square Garden is transformed into MacyÕs Convention ClubÓ. The other chapter headings concern the various amenities offered by MacyÕs at the Center powder room smoking room post office etc. as well as chapters covering the pressÕs coverage of MacyÕs and a section of signed testimonials. The photographs mainly depict the physical amenities such as the post office and powder room but many are given over to various celebrities at the convention. Included are photographs of Tex Rickhard builder of Madison Square Garden chief promoter of the time and owner of the New York Rangers; John R. Voorhis police commissioner of New York City Cordell Hull future Secretary of State under FDR; Joseph P. Day Tammany Hall VIP; and several photographs of Josephine Norman beautiful leader of the California delegation and a McAdoo supporter. There are also numerous images of the actual building including all four corners and two photographs of cigar store Indians and one of the actual delegate hall. One interesting photograph shows silent actress Gilda Grey popularizer of the Shimmy Dance post the first transcontinental air missive from the convention the first daily Transcontinental Air Mail service involving both day and night flying over the entire route was opened on July 1 1924 from this Convention. It seems Hollywood has long favored movie stars. In addition to Gilda Gray there are two other movies stars; Allen Conner and Peggy Browne both mainly stars of the silent screen. The Beauty Parlor and the Smoking Room are also well represented in photographs. The photographer no doubt a professional and probably MacyÕs in-house photographer but is not noted. The newspapers articles are from a newspaper cutting service and are all mounted on little tabs with publication history. The clippings are exhaustive 70000 cigarettes and a mountain of mints were supplied by MacyÕs and while many of them concern MacyÕs contribution to the convention one could get a firm grasp of the entire Convention by reading them. The testimonials are all signed originals with most of them coming from the offices of various states although many individual letters of appreciation are included as well. There is also one page bearing a specimen of official convention letterhead stationary with the envelope and two postcards of the convention. In 1924 Democratic prospects in the upcoming presidential election seemed promising. The administration of Republican Calvin Coolidge was rocked by a scandal the Teapot Dome which involved secret leasing of the Navy's oil fields to private businesses. But the Democratic Party was deeply divided. The Democratic Party was an uneasy coalition of diverse elements: Northerners and Southerners Westerners and Easterners Catholics and Jews and Protestants conservative landowners and agrarian radicals progressives and big city machines urban cosmopolitans and small-town traditionalists. On one side were defenders of the Ku Klux Klan prohibition and fundamentalism predominantly from the South and the West. On the other side were northeastern Catholics and Jewish immigrants and their children. A series of issues that bitterly divided the country during the early 1920s were on display at the 1924 Democratic Convention held at Madison Square Garden in New York City from June 24 to July 9 1924. These issues included prohibition and religious and racial tolerance. The Northeasterners wanted an explicit condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan. The two leading candidates symbolized a deep cultural divide. Al Smith New York's governor was a Catholic and an opponent of prohibition and was bitterly opposed by Democrats in the South and West. Former Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo a Protestant defended prohibition and refused to repudiate the Ku Klux Klan making himself unacceptable to Catholics and Jews in the Northeast. Newspapers called the convention a "Klanbake" as pro-Klan and anti-Klan delegates wrangled bitterly over the party platform. The convention opened on a Monday and by Thursday night after 61 ballots the convention was deadlocked. The next day July 4 some 20000 Klan supporters wearing white hoods and robes held a picnic in New Jersey. One speaker denounced the "clownvention in Jew York." They threw baseballs at an effigy of Al Smith. A cross-burning culminated the event. Al Smith and William Gibbs McAdoo withdrew from contention after the 99th ballot. It was the longest political convention in American history going 16 days and requiring 103 ballots before a compromise candidate was selected. On the 103rd ballot the weary convention nominated John W. Davis of West Virginia formerly a US Representative from West Virginia Solicitor General for the United States and US Ambassador to Britain under President Woodrow Wilson. The nomination proved worthless. Liberals deserted the Democrats and voted for Robert La Follette a third party candidate. Apathy and disgust kept many home and just half of those eligible went to the polls. The Democrat candidate John Davis received 8 million votes. The Republican candidate incumbent president Calvin Coolidge received 15 million votes. Macy's Department Store hardcover‎

‎HASSRICK PETER H‎

‎Drawn To Yellowstone: Artists In America's First National Park‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Old Faithful Geyser Emerald Spring the magnificent canyons and falls of the Yellowstone River�these and other sites familiar to the millions of visitors who travel through Yellowstone National Park each year have been an inspiration to generations of artists. Thomas Moran Albert Bierstadt Frederic Remington Louis Comfort Tiffany and dozens of other artists have braved difficult conditions to capture the splendors of Yellowstone in many media from delicate watercolors and pen-and-ink sketches to powerful oils and popular lithographs. They have portrayed the animals that lived there the humans who passed through and above all the remarkable features that have made Yellowstone a wonderland to so many artists and observers. From the moment of its inception in 1872 as the first national park in the world Yellowstone National Park has been perceived as a vast visual spectacle. By the 1890s it was known as "the Nation's Art Gallery." Peter H. Hassrick traces the artistic history of the park from its earliest explorers to the present day in this new edition of Drawn to Yellowstone a richly illustrated account of the artists who traveled to and were inspired by Yellowstone. Yellowstone is simultaneously an aesthetic experience and a potent force in America's search for national identity. Visitors made comparisons between the castles of Europe and the gleaming spires of Yellowstone to prove that America too had its history and its grandeur. Like the waters pulsing from its geysers from Yellowstone flows an artistic energy that at once captivates a nation and contributes to its philosophical and aesthetic history. 105 color and black and white Illustrations 160 pages 8.5" x 11".

‎DINGUS RICK AND EDITED BY PETER S. BRIGGS WITH A FOREWORD BY TOBY JUROVICS AND CONTRIBUTIONS BY SHELLEY ARMITAGE & LUCY R. LIPP‎

‎Shifting Views And Changing Places: The Photographs Of Rick Dingus‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Since the 1970s Rick Dingus has photographed "landscapes": remote wilderness and rural settings vernacular traces urban environments and ancient pathways that invite viewers to look closer to think about how to interpret what they are seeing. Perception unfolds in many ways in this volume whose photographs document Dingus's lifelong exploration of the intersections of time place culture and nature. Dingus discusses his creative process in practical and philosophical terms through brief opening passages and an in-depth interview with art curator Peter S. Briggs. An introductory essay by curator Toby Jurovics considers Dingus's oeuvre within the evolution of landscape photography from the nineteenth century to the present day�offering a view of the photographer's art as "resilient enough to contain both empirical and metaphorical truth; the descriptive and the personal; the past and the present." An essay by Shelley Armitage offers a more personal reflection on the experience of viewing the photographs. And art critic Lucy R. Lippard provides a chronology and sustained interpretation of Dingus's work with its emphasis on transformation and on "translating information across visual borders." Landscape is always with us deceptively simple yet capable of providing something much more. By examining the rich variety of Dingus's work and reflecting on the evolution of ideas that lie behind it Shifting Views and Changing Places invites readers to critically examine the pursuit of seeing. 58 color and 64 black and white Illustrations.
