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 .

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.

Presents some of the work of American photographer Tom Bianchi (b. 1945), who specializes in depicting male nudes. "Bianchi broke new ground in the representation of the male nude when he asked some of his friends to join him in making pictures that celebrated their physical selves and their affectionate friendships. Playing with the conventions for imagining the male nude, Bianchi's photographs constitute a record of the natural grace, wit, imagination, and friendship of these men that transcends their physical beauty."
