Sally Mann; The Flesh and The Spirit

2010réf. 87623Museum; Aperture. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 204 pages; 126 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Sally Mann: The Flesh and The Spirit is the first in-depth exploration of this world-renowned artist's approach to the body. Throughout her career Mann has fearlessly pushed her exploration of the human form tackling often difficult subject matter and making unapologetically sensual images that are simultaneously bold and lyrical. This beautifully produced publication includes Mann's earliest platinum prints from the late 1970s Polaroid still lifes early color work of her children haunting landscape images recent self-portraits and nude studies of her husband. These series document Mann's interest in the body as principal subject with the associated issues of vulnerability and mortality lending an elegiac note to her images. In bringing them together author and curator John Ravenal examines the varied ways in which Mann's experimental approach including ambrotypes and gelatin-silver prints made from collodian wet-plate negatives moves her subjects from the corporeal to the ethereal. Ravenal also supplies a comprehensive introduction as well as individual entries on each series and essays by David Levi Strauss "Eros Psyche and the Mendacity of Photography" and Anne Wilkes Tucker "Living Memory" add different but equally illuminating perspectives to this work. Sally Mann: The Flesh and The Spirit is a must for any serious library of photographic literature students scholars collectors and others interested in her work. Sally Mann born 1951 is one of America's most renowned photographers. She has received numerous awards including NEA NEH and Guggenheim Foundation grants and her work is held by major institutions internationally. Mann's many books include What Remains 2003 Deep South 2005 and the Aperture titles At Twelve 1988 Immediate Family 1992 Still Time 1994 and Proud Flesh 2009.

First editions of 16 original issues of this Craftsman bungalow promotional magazine issued by noted Seattle entrepreneur and real estate developer Jud Yoho 1882-1968 known as “The Bungalow Craftsman” in Seattle’s active market prior to World War I. Bungalow Magazine had been originally launched 1908-1912 by Henry Wilson in Los Angeles but Yoho took over the magazine moved the publishing to Seattle and during its 6 year run attracted a nationwide audience. With the slogan of “an illustrated monthly magazine devoted exclusively to artistic bungalow homes” modeled on Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman magazine this glossy periodical featured Seattle bungalows and articles about California residences Eastern Craftsman homes and occasionally lifted articles directly from the Craftsman. The Bungalow Magazine attracted a nationwide audience included feature articles on a variety of Craftsman style homes their technology and mechanical systems and amateur projects in furniture design and construction to enhance the prospective home owner’s bungalow. At the time Yoho and his firms were actively constructing speculative houses in Seattle’s northern neighborhoods served as new advertising for many of the Pacific Northwest’s builders small architects and real estate developers. The innovative inclusion of “Supplement Bungalow Plans” not only presented the potential reader and home owner with a sample home but Yoho and other connected “Craftsman” home builders pioneered a technique of easy home financing and extended home ownership to many who could not otherwise have purchased a home. As the Craftsman bungalow craze waned in Seattle during World War I Yoho divested his interest and began producing his “Colonial Homes” plan books and during the severe post-World War I recession moved to Arkon OH where he opened an architectural and building firm with D.E.

Thomas Mann New York

1934réf. 2522New York: n.p. 1934. Very Good. POWERFUL STEICHEN PORTRAIT OF THOMAS MANN FROM CHANCE MEETING IN NEW YORK. Edward Steichen was one of the early pioneers of photographic art leading the movement of photography from its established position as a utilitarian medium to a mode of creative expression. As a major contributor to Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Work magazine in the first decades of the twentieth century Steichen had cemented his reputation as a new kind of photographer enjoying both artistic and commercial success-working as chief photographer for Condé Nast and later heading the Met's photography department. In 1959 having completed the first decade in his tenure as director of the Museum of Modern Art's photography division Steichen was approached by Tas Toth about curating a new display to serve as a counterpart to Steichen's astronomically successful The Family of Man-a MoMA exhibition that would become and remains to-date the most-viewed photographic exhibition. Toth's exhibition to be called Das menschliche Antlitz Europas The Human Face of Europe would mirror The Family of Man's thematic emphasis on shared humanity principally by showcasing images by distinguished figures including Cartier-Bresson Boubat Brassai and Doisneau alongside works by lesser-known artists. Initially the renowned artists were hesitant to contribute towards this unique concept and it was only after Steichen endorsed Toth by allowing him to exhibit his portrait of Thomas Mann that a large number of eminent photographers agreed to contribute to the group exhibition. Steichen's impactful photograph is the work present here. Steichen had taken the image in the United States where Mann would emigrate in 1939 to avoid mounting persecution in his native Germany and where Mann would remain until 1952. It was in 1934 that Mann to promote his Jospeh series made his first journey to America- embarking on RMS Volendam and arriving in New York to great fanfare-"scarcely dreaming" writes biographer Nigel Hamilton "he would one day become an American citizen" p. 283. The image of Mann follows in a line of portraits by Steichen of leading world figures from Churchill and FDR to Chaplin and Gershwin. Furthermore the present photograph preserves in addition to Mann's likeness the providential meeting of two of the most impactful twentieth century creatives who would both make their homes in the New World.

Orig. 3/4-black morocco and marbled boards raised spine bands compartments decorated in gilt marbled endpapers T.e.g. A little light scattered foxing to preliminary leaves else a near fine copy. HOWES M-258. One of 35 numbered large-paper copies of an entire edition of 250 copies. "Exploits--not too credible--of Deborah Sampson in the Revolution; that she actually served under the name of Robert Shurtleff is however a matter of indisputable record"--Howes. Deborah Sampson 1760-1827 and her adventures masquerading as a male soldier during the American Revolution under the name Robert Shurtleff. Sampson was wounded in action twice and received an honorable discharge when her sex was discovered. Mann 1771-1833 a newspaperman and educator was a neighbor and friend of Sampson's in Dedham. Howes states that while Mann's work is "not too credible. That she actually served.is however a matter of indisputable record." Mann's book was published over a decade after the Revolutionary War amidst Sampson's protracted battle for an ongoing pension for military service. Struggling financially in 1792 Sampson by then married and known as Deborah Gannett successfully petitioned the Massachusetts legislature for back pay; she continued to petition the federal Congress until an intercession by her neighbor Paul Revere in 1805 led to a regular pension of $4 a month; she continued to seek further backdated compensation until 1816. Sampson has become an important figure in discussions of early American sexuality and gender presentation. The narrative here describes romantic and/or sexual encounters Sampson had with other women while appearing as a male soldier; one paramour identified only "the Baltimore Lady" reappears several times in Mann's text. Pages 233-238 usually missing from the original edition is the final part of the narrative proper before an appendix dwelling on cross-gendered dressing more generally include further if at times opaque discussion of these same-sex liaisons. In spite of the clear popularity of this text - the present edition was subscribed to by many neighbors in eastern Massachusetts and the. unknown

Thomas Mann In Exile from Nazi Germany On His Decision Not to Endorse the Communist Declaration of the First American Writers Congress: ""It is an act of good conscience of what is my duty and what is not""

1935réf. 2132622/04/1935. This letter was acquired from the family of the recipient and has never been offered for sale before In 1900 at the age of 25 Thomas Mann wrote and in 1901 published Buddenbrooks chronicling the decline of a wealthy north German merchant family over the course of four generations. Mann drew deeply from the history of his own family the Mann family of Lübeck and their times. It was Mann’s first novel and it made him a major literary figure. The work led to a Nobel Prize in Literature for Mann in 1929; although the Nobel award generally recognizes an author’s body of work the Swedish Academy’s citation for Mann identified “his great novel Buddenbrooks” as the principal reason for his prize. Mann began writing the book in October 1897 when he was twenty-two years old. Henry Hart was an American publisher who worked mainly for Scribner’s in New York. He was working with Mann on the publication of English-language versions of his works including Nocturns. The League of American Writers was established by the First American Writers Congress a gathering held from April 26–28 1935. It was an association of American novelists playwrights poets journalists and literary critics launched by the Communist Party USA in 1935. The group included Communist Party members and so-called ""fellow travelers"" who closely followed the Communist Party's political line without being formal party members as well as individuals sympathetic to specific policies being advocated by the parrty. In 1933 after the takeover of the Nazi party while travelling in the South of France Mann heard from his eldest children Klaus and Erika in Munich that it would not be safe for him to return to Germany. The family except these two children emigrated to Küsnacht near Zürich Switzerland but received Czechoslovak citizenship and a passport in 1936. Typed letter signed April 22 1935 to Hart his publisher. ""It is not easy for me to answer your suggestion in regards to this business news. I have read very carefully the appeal of the American writer’s congress. However I have unsurmountable concerns about contributing a statement to the congress. In the second half of the appeal there is mention of ‘civil liberties’. It stands in logical contradiction to all previous statements which have a purely communist character. A telegram on my part as you have asked me to send would be a clear support of communism which I am not able to force myself to give. I have a true love of civil liberties as much as I am against fascism and war. I much prefer the communist revolution to that of the fascists. Nevertheless the wording of this appeal and the political orientation it lends to this congress does not allow me to follow your wishes to send a note of unrestricted sympathy to the congress. I beg you to understand and not interpret my position as a lack of courage. It is an act of good conscience of what is my duty and what is not. ""Earlier than planned my wife and I will have the opportunity to see you again. In June a little bit later than last time we will come to America and stay for a short while in New York."" This letter was acquired from the family of the recipient and has never before been offered for sale. unknown
