Rosalie Gwathmey: Photographs from the Forties

East Hampton, New York: Glenn Horowitz Bookseller, (1994). (1994). East Hampton, New York: Glenn Horowitz Bookseller, (1994). (1994). Fine. INSCRIBED & SIGNED BY ROSALIE GWATHMEY - Quarto, 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Softcover, bound in pictorial white wraps. 30 pages, with a cover illustration and 9 illustrations of Rosalie Gwathmey's evocative photographs of the deep South and Southern black life. Fine.

First edition. Published in conjunction with an exhibition held from August 11 to September 11, 1994.

Inscribed and signed in full by the photographer Rosalie Gwathmey on the half title. Signed copies of this important exhibition catalog are rare.

A student of Paul Strand at the Photo League of New York, Rosalie Gwathmey (1908-2001) was married to the social realist painter Robert Gwathmey. Her warm, simple, yet gritty photographs evocatively captured the African-American experience in South Carolina and in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Her work was included in a New Photographers group show at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1946 and one of her images was included by Steichen in the 1955 Family of Man Exhibition. Despite these successes, she turned away from photography in 1955, donating all of her prints to the New York Public Library and destroying her negatives. She rarely looked back and went on to establish herself as a textile designer. Largely forgotten in the intervening decades, this solo exhibition revived interest in her work. Fine .

Harbutt, Charles (1935-2015).

[Warrants to Be Cancelled]: An Original Photograph by the American Photographer Charles Harbutt.

New York: Magnum Photos, (1969). (1969). - An original 11 inch high by 14 inch wide black & white gelatin silver photograph by the American photographer Charles Harbutt. The 9 inch high by 13-3/8 inch wide image is a close-up of a tray labeled "Warrants To Be Canceled" next to what may be a teletype (or possibly an adding) machine with a roll of tape feeding from a spool through an unseen printer. The photographer's name and credits "Copyright by Charles Harbutt Magnum Photos Inc..." are stamped in black on the verso. The photograph is further annotated in pencil on the verso: "69-55-17/12". There is minor darkening to the top of the right margin and the bottom corners are lightly creased. There is a light crease in the image near the top right of the print. Two small rectangular pieces of tape have been removed from the bottom margin leaving minor glue remnants and rubbing. Born in Camden, New Jersey, the American photographer Charles Harbutt learned his skills from his membership in the Teaneck, NJ amateur camera club. Influenced by modern photojournalism, he contributed images to major magazines throughout the US, Europe and Japan. While working for the Catholic magazine "Jubilee", Harbutt's documentation of social and economic disparities inspired the Castro underground to invite him to document the Cuban Revolution. A member of the international photography cooperative "Magnum Photos", Harbutt twice served as its president. He joined the faculty of New York University's Parsons School of Design as a full professor and was a guest artist at numerous other Universities, including MIT. His work has been exhibited at major museums including the Museum of Modern Art and The Library of Congress. Good .

Early commercial photography was often in the form of miniatures on cartes-de-visite or "calling cards". Fine .
