Le Clerc was a draftsman engraver and military engineer born in Metz. He published numerous books on geometry and perspective as well as on architecture. He had a great eye for composition and is still considered one of France's best engravers because of it. He initially worked as an engineer but his artistic talents were soon recognised by Charles le Brun 1619-1690 a painter who worked directly for King Louis XIV and painted several murals in Versailles. Le Brun advised him to abandon his engineering work and devote himself exclusively to engraving and drawing which he did very successfully. He was sought after by publishers and his engravings were already collected in his own time. The present work was published shortly after his death. The portrait of Le Clerc especially made for this work is often lacking but has here been added as a frontispiece at a later date.The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed the boards are slightly scratched the joints are somewhat weakened but the structural integrity of the binding is still intact. The frontispiece is likely taken from another work and has been mounted on the blank page before the title page the work is slightly browned throughout but otherwise internally clean a contemporary correction with annotation in the margin on page 18.

Charles Brittin : West and South

2011ref. 95578Hatje Cantz. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 216 pp. ; 139 illus including one in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Throughout the 1950s Charles Brittin was the unofficial house photographer for the Beat community that coalesced around the artist Wallace Berman. Brittin settled in Venice Beach California in 1951 and his beach shack became a hangout for the Berman circle which included actors Dean Stockwell and Dennis Hopper artist John Altoon curator Walter Hopps and poet David Meltzer among many others. A self-taught photographer Brittin was working as a mailman at the time and spent much of his free time wandering the streets with a camera; he came to know Venice intimately and his pictures of the town are freighted with a hushed beauty and forlorn sweetness. In the early 1960s the focus of Brittin's life shifted dramatically when he became involved with the civil rights movement. "I suddenly realized I was compelled to do something" Brittin recalls "because the times demanded it." As a photographer for the Congress of Racial Equality Brittin documented the dramatic non-violent protests that occurred throughout Southern California and made a courageous trip to the deep South in 1965 to assist with the registration of black voters. As the 60s progressed he documented the antiwar movement and by the end of the decade was devoting most of his time to the Black Panther Party. These two very different social revolutions are at the heart of Charles Brittin: West and South. With 150 images--138 of them previously unpublished--this monograph is published on the occasion of a 2011 retrospective at Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. Charles Brittin born 1928 moved to California from Cedar Rapids Iowa after enrolling at UCLA. He contributed several photographs to Wallace Berman's Semina magazine throughout the 50s and 60s while working as a photographer for Charles and Ray Eames. After a two-decade hiatus Brittin returned to photography in the 1990s also making video works. . 2011. 3775728368 . Hatje Cantz hardcover
