Con un saggio di Tom Wolfe. Una nota e 60 fotografie di Marie Cosindas . Cm 30x26. pp. 144. . Molto buono (Very Good). Sovracoperta sbiadita e scolorita lungo i bordi ma per il resto ottimo esemplare (Faded dustjacket along the edges, but otherwise it's in excellent condition). Prima edizione (First Edition). . Oggi tornata alla ribalta come figura di culto, Marie Cosindas si è affermata negli anni '60. Cosindas ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nel far riconoscere la fotografia a colori come mezzo artistico a tutti gli effetti in un'epoca in cui il colore era relegato a contesti commerciali e amatoriali. Eccezione storica e prodotto del suo tempo, i ritratti caldi e intimi di Cosindas, così come le sue composizioni evocative, la distinguevano dalle tendenze prevalenti dell'ironia della Pop Art e del rigore del Minimalismo che pervadevano il mondo dell'arte. Cosindas riempie le sue minuscole composizioni polaroid con oggetti trovati o presi in prestito: fiori, statuine, flaconi di profumo, che hanno finito per definire il suo stile caratteristico, all'insegna dell'eccesso, deliziosamente al limite del kitsch. Studiò alla Modern School of Fashion Design e frequentò corsi serali di disegno e pittura alla Boston Museum School. Durante un viaggio in Grecia nel 1959, Cosindas si rese conto che le fotografie che scattava e utilizzava come modelli per i suoi dipinti potevano essere considerate a tutti gli effetti delle opere finite. Poco dopo, il fotografo Ansel Adams la raccomandò alla Polaroid Corporation, che intendeva testare una nuova pellicola a colori a sviluppo istantaneo. Le fotografie di Cosindas ebbero successo e, alla fine degli anni '60, ricevette una borsa di studio Guggenheim per continuare il suo lavoro a colori, una borsa di studio Rockefeller e lauree ad honorem dal Moore College of Art di Filadelfia e dall'Art Institute di Boston. Nel 2013, Marie Cosindas ha tenuto una retrospettiva all'Amon Carter Museum di Fort Worth. A queste si aggiungono le sue prime mostre personali, tenutesi al Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) e al Museum of Fine Arts di Boston (MFA Boston) nel 1966, nonché la sua partecipazione alla storica mostra di John Szarkowski del 1978, "Mirrors and Windows", al MoMA. Altre importanti mostre dedicate all'opera di Cosindas si sono tenute all'Art Institute di Chicago, all'International Center of Photography di New York e al Fine Arts Museum di San Francisco. Marie Cosindas è presente in collezioni di rilievo, tra cui la George Eastman House di Rochester (New York), il Los Angeles County Museum of Art (California), la National Gallery of Canada di Ottawa e lo Smithsonian Institution di Washington, D.C.…
