China: The Photographs of Lois Conner

New York, Callaway, 2000. Hardcover. Oversized silver rectangular boards with BW illustration and red lettering. 151 pp. Illustrations, map. "Lois Conner's vision of China, a landscape borrowed in her photographs is one that itself has evolved over nearly two decades. Through her eye and her art these images, like the unfolding scroll paintings of Chinese scholar art, reflect the myriad aspects of her travels and fascinations, her obsessions and her observations. Yet Conner is not a casual photographer who has "done" China as part of an intinerary of sightseeing, or on photographic assignement to capture some ephemeral but newsworthy event. She was captivated by the art and poetry of that country long before she saw its landscape for the first time." -Geremie Barme. VG .

Hellen Van Meene: The Years Shall Run Like Rabbits

New York, Aperture, 2015. Hardcover. Forest green boards, color-illustrated dust jacket with blue lettering. 271 pp. Color and BW illustrations. "Over the last 20 years, Hellen van Meene has produced a complex body of work, offering a contemporary take on photographic portraiture. Characterized by her exquisite use of light, formal elegance and psychological tension, her depictions of girls and boys on the cusp of adulthood demonstrate a clear aesthetic lineage to seventeenth-century Dutch painting. Van Meene captures the intimacy in the photographer-subject relationship, bringing out a sense of honesty and vulnerability from within her models and highlighting the beauty of imperfection. She carefully poses her subjects in their environments to emphasize their fragility, adding a palpable tension to the photographs. At the same time, she captures them at deeper, more introspective moments, masterfully moving between the staged nature of the portraits and the real experiences of her subjects. The combination of van Meene's instinctive understanding of the universality of adolescent experience and the highly intimate collaboration between photographer and model makes for powerful portraits that resonate long after viewing. This book brings together more than 250 images, for the most comprehensive presentation of the artist's work to date." -FirstSearch. New in shrinkwrap.

"The more than two-hundred striking duotone plates in Hilla and Bernd Becher's 'Industrial Facades' continue the famous Dusseldorf photographers' formal investigation of industrial structures, in this case the frontal elevations of factory buildings. Like the Bechers's earlier books on water towers, blast furnaces, and gas tanks, 'Industrial Facades' once again clearly displays their serenely cool, rigorous approach to the structures they photograph as variations on an ideal form. The Bechers make no attempt to analyze or explain their subjects. Captions contain only the barest of information: time and place." - dust jacket. Includes an introduction by Klaus Bussmann. VG/VG .

Benson, Richard and Peter Galassi

North South East West

New York, Museum of Modern Art, 2011. Hardcover. White and color-photo-illustrated DJ with blue, black and white lettering; light blue cloth boards with white lettering; 127 pp.; richly illustrated in color. Former Dean of the Yale School of Art, Richard Benson has been a photographer for more than four decades, but until now his art often took a back seat to his prodigious achievements as a printer and a teacher. When he devoted himself to overseeing the production of his own pictures a few years ago, everything fell into place. From direct digital capture through inkjet output, Benson's renowned technical wizardry yields unusually vibrant and beguiling color prints that are at once ultra-vivid and utterly natural, like our everyday visual experience. This volume presents nearly 100 photographs by Benson that highlight not only the unique properties of his prints, but also his fresh techniques for reproducing them on a printing press, as exemplified in this book. The uncanny lushness and clarity of the photographs gives voice to Benson's generous, inquisitive eye. As he crisscrossed the continent, Benson observed the creations of nature as well as man in pictures that are at once cheerful and patiently attentive to the forces that shape and soon enough change everything under the sun. An essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at MoMA, surveys the work and a text by Benson explains how it was made. -- WorldCat. Good (DJ and boards have very light edgewear with light smudging/scuffing; personal stamp on ffep; interior is clean; binding is solid.) .

Humanity and Inhumanity: The Photographic Journey of George Rodger

London, Phaidon Press Limited, 1994. First. Hardcover. Black pictorial dj.; Black cloth over boards; 319 pp.; 260+ bw photos. George Rodger began his photographic career with the BBC as a stills photographer. His baptism as a photo reporter came with his appointment as a 'stringer' for Life magazine during the Blitz on London in the most threatening days of 1940. Many of his images from that time are still in constant use, because his instinct has always been to concentrate on the humanity of his subjects, even in the face of terrible adversity.It was for Life that George Rodger embarked on a series of adventures that were to take him to almost every theatre of the Second World War in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.The fulcrum of his career came with the liberation of Belsen. As for the first few days he was the only photographer present, the images he captured became crucially important in making known the depravity of the camps. In 1948 he embarked on a campaign of photography rediscovering humanity, starting with an expedition from Cape Town to Cairo by road. He found in Africa tribes almost untouched by European influence and was able to create images of enormous power that quickly became world-famous.This book presents the pictures that define George Rodger's long career and a commentary on his extraordinary journey. With a Foreword by Henri Cartier-Bresson and over 260 powerful images, it represents a fitting tribute to George Rodger and a celebration of his life's work. -Amazon.
