This book documents the two most recent works by the critically acclaimed British artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien both of which continue his investigation of issues of race and global politics. True North shot in the spectacular landscapes of Iceland and Northern Sweden is conceived around the expedition writings of the African-American explorer Matthew Henson one of the key members of Robert E. Peary's 1909 Arctic expedition and arguably the first person to reach the North Pole. True North's diametric counterpart Fantôme Afrique weaves cinematic and architectural references through the rich imagery of urban Ouagadougou Africa's cinematic center and the arid spaces of rural Burkina Faso. The film is punctuated by archival footage from early colonial expeditions and landmark moments in African history. Record # 350325 Hatje Cantz hardcover‎

‎Dennis Stock: American Cool‎

‎Los Angeles: Reel Art Press 2013. 1sr. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover. Like new in publishers shrink-wrap. The first anthology dedicated to one of the greatest American photographers of the 20th century Dennis Stock during his most celebrated period of the 1950s–1970s. Undisputedly one of America's greatest photographers in early 1955 Dennis Stock captured one of the iconic images of the 20th century: the black-and-white image of the unknown James Dean walking across a deserted Times Square trademark cigarette in hand a brooding and introspective figure hunched into his oversized coat braced against the rain and set against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Stock took a series of photographs in New York Hollywood and in Dean's hometown of Fairmount Indiana. Stock went on to photograph Marlon Brando Marilyn Monroe Audrey Hepburn resting her head on a car window on the cusp of fame JFK on the campaign trail. His catalogue of work throughout this period reflects his ability to empathize with his subjects but not become subservient to them. In the late 1950s Stock’s focus shifted to the leading jazz musicians and performers of the day; this book contains some of the best photographs ever taken of artists such as Duke Ellington Billie Holiday Charlie Parker Miles Davies and Louis Armstrong. This book is a beautiful tribute to Stock’s timeless legacy and complete access to the Stock Archive was granted for this stunning 288-page edition. Record # 350382 Reel Art Press hardcover‎

‎US: University of Illinois Press 2010. 1st. Softcover. Near Fine/None. 190 pages illustrated throughout in b&w. Clean unmarked copy with only minor wear to wrappers. The paintings murals and graphics of Ben Shahn 1898-1969 have made him one of the most heralded American artists of the twentieth century but during the 1930s he was also among the nation's premier photographers. Much of his photographic work was sponsored by the New Deal's Farm Security Administration where his colleagues included Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans.Ben Shahn's American Scene: Photographs 1938 presents one hundred superb photographs from his most ambitious FSA project a survey of small-town life in the Depression. John Raeburn's accompanying text illuminates the thematic and formal significance of individual photographs and reveals how taken together they address key cultural and political issues of the years leading up to World War II. Shahn's photographs highlight conflicts between traditional values and the newer ones introduced by modernity as represented by the movies chain stores and the tantalizing allure of consumer goods and they are particularly rich in observation about the changes brought about by Americans' universal reliance on the automobile. They also explore the small town's standing as the nation's symbol of democratic community and expose the discriminatory social and racial practices that subverted this ideal in 1930s America.

‎New York : Pantheon 1989. 1st US. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 111 pages illustrated throughout in b&w. Light edgewear and rubbing to dust jacket. Faint foxing to top edge otherwise a clean tight copy. In April 1933 an editor at Lippincott asked Evans to take photographs for a polemical book by Carlton Beals a leftist writer who was very critical of the then Cuban dictator Gerardo Machado and anxious to show how American support of Machado had created an economic catastrophe in Cuba. Evans agreed after acceptance of his conditions that he have complete freedom to choose the photographs for publication and that they be collected at the end of the book so that they appeared to be an independent entity and not simply illustration of the text. Indeed according to legend Evans had not read Beals's text when he went to Havana in May 1933. He was in Cuba for three weeks. When his personal funds ran out his way was paid for by Ernest Hemingway; the two had never met before but Hemingway was eager for the company of someone equally qualified in literary conversation and in drinking. In the end Evans contributed thirty-one photographs to the published "The Crime of Cuba". This book WALKER EVANS: HAVANA 1933 contains seventy of the photographs Evans took in Cuba including most of the photographs he selected for "The Crime of Cuba". The volume is introduced by an excellent essay by Gilles Mora that gives the historical background and discusses the place of Evans's Cuban photographs in his overall body of work. The photographs were selected by Mora and by John T. Hill who also was responsible for the sequencing of their presentation. One of Mora's points is that Evans attached a great deal of significance to the sequencing of his photographs any collection of which he viewed as a composite artistic/documentary statement and as such more important than any single photograph.

‎Vergara, Camilo Jose‎

‎Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto‎

‎Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2013. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 364 pages illustrated throughout in color. Clean unmarked copy with only minor wear to dust jacket. Photographer Camilo José Vergara has been chronicling the neighborhood for forty-three years and Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto is an unprecedented record of urban change. Vergara began his documentation of Harlem in the tradition of such masters as Helen Levitt and Aaron Siskind and he later turned his focus on the neighborhood’s urban fabric both the buildings that compose it and the life and culture embedded in them. By repeatedly returning to the same locations over the course of decades Vergara is able to show us a community that is constantly changing—some areas declining as longtime businesses give way to empty storefronts graffiti and garbage while other areas gentrify with corporate chain stores coming in to compete with the mom-and-pops. He also captures the ever-present street life of this densely populated neighborhood from stoop gatherings to graffiti murals memorializing dead rappers to impersonators honoring Michael Jackson in front of the Apollo as well as the growth of tourism and racial integration. Woven throughout the images is Vergara’s own account of his project and his experience of living and working in Harlem. Taken together his unforgettable words and images tell the story of how Harlem and its residents navigated the segregation dereliction and slow recovery of the closing years of the twentieth century and the boom and racial integration of the twenty-first century. A deeply personal investigation Harlem will take its place with the best portrayals of urban life. Record # 350668 University of Chicago Press hardcover‎
