Max, John

Open Passport

Toronto, Impressions, 1973. Signed and Inscribed by the Artist to a Previous Owner. Paperback. Black wraps with white lettering; [96] pp.; chiefly illustrations. [John] Max was championed during the 1960s and 1970s by the National Film Board of Canada, through its Still Photography Division, and the National Gallery of Canada, through a variety of exhibition and publication projects. Gradually abandoning photojournalism during the 1960s, he focused his work on photographic art exhibitions and publications. His best-known work, Open Passport (exhibited 1972-1976; published 1973) is a long sequence that combined photographs from diverse sources shot over the span of a decade into a unified, poetical narrative. -- Wikipedia.

Ralph Eugene Meatyard : With an Essay by Guy Davenport

New York/Göttingen, International Center of Photography/Steidl, 2004. 1st edition. Hardcover. Illustrated Ivory cloth covers. 299 pages : chiefly illustrations, The photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard defy convention: they have been called visionary, surrealistic, and meditative. Whatever the label, these evocative images of friends and family and the natural world around his home illustrate a delicate psychology of human interaction. Meatyard was trained as an optician, a profession that he maintained all his life in Lexington, Kentucky; he bought a camera in 1950 for the sole purpose of photographing his first-born son. But shortly thereafter, he joined the Lexington Camera Club and developed a friendship with his photography teacher Van Deren Coke, as well as a circle of local writers and photographers, including Guy Davenport, Thomas Merton, Wendell Berry, Jonathan Williams, and Minor White. Family and friends freely participated in Meatyard's staged and mysterious images, which often involve masks and abandoned spaces, and obliquely reference social, political, and cultural issues. A key subject in Meatyard's work is the natural environment, which is featured in his Light on Water series, in which long exposures seem to create calligraphic texts, and his No-Focus series, in which he deliberately photographed stems and twigs out of focus. In one of his last series titled Motion-Sound, the pictures were made by moving the camera gently, creating multiple exposures of the woodland scenes that suggest abstract sound patterns. The book accompanies an exhibition organized by ICP Assistant Curator Cynthia Young with acclaimed writer and Meatyard friend, Guy Davenport, who also wrote the text. Also included are the exhibition history, chronology, and bibliography. Contents as follows: Ralph Eugene Meatyard / Guy Davenport -- Interview with Guy Davenport / Cynthia Young -- My aims / Ralph Eugene Meatyard -- Early work -- Georgetown Street -- Sculptures -- No-focus -- Abstractions -- Light on water -- Zen twigs -- Romances -- Motion-sound -- Portraits -- The family album of Lucybelle Crater -- Self-portraits.

White DJ with b&w-photo illustration and black and red lettering; black boards with stamped and silver lettering; 168 pp.; richly illustrated. In 1967, The Museum of Modern Art presented "New Documents", a landmark exhibition organized by John Szarkowski that brought together a selection of works by three photographers whose individual achievements signaled the artistic potential for the medium in the 1960s and beyond: Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand. Though largely unknown at the time, these three photographers are now universally acknowledged as artists of singular talent within the history of photography. The exhibition articulated a profound shift in the landscape of 20th-century photography, and interest in the exhibition has only continued to expand. -- WorldCat.

The more fashion conscious probably go to other beachers, but what Atlantic City has -- and what attracted me to it -- is diversity." -- Ray K. Metzker, inside book.
