Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from September 5 through November 1, 2003. Presents "Josef Breitenbach: Munich, Paris, New York". A delectable sampling of the great photographer's work. Breitenbach lived a peripatetic life. Born in Germany, he was educated in Munich and began his career there. The rise of the Nazis forced him, a Jew, to flee to Paris, where he eked out a living taking studio portraits. His portraits of such figures as James Joyce, Max Ernst, and Bertolt Brecht were taken during this brief, tumultuous period. With the ascension of the Vichy Government, Breitenbach had to flee again, this time just barely making it to the United States, where he spent the rest of his life. Josef Breitenbach was the classic Modernist case: A tough-minded, serious, soulful artist whose work was ahead of its time even as he absorbed whatever he found useful among the Movements swirling around him. He is now considered a major forerunner of Andy Warhol in his application of color to black-and-white photographs through toning and bromoil transfer. His Bauhaus-inspired work, especially the photograms (such as "Bird, New York, 1948") are masterpieces that have all the color, warmth, and detail of a painting combined with the clarity, precision, and fluidity of a photograph. Every picture in this Exhibition Catalog is museum-quality, and it is nothing less than a blessing that they have been discovered at last for what they are: The work of a great artist, not just a great photographer. An absolute "must-have" title for Josef Breitenbach collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 28 plates. One of the greatest artist/photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy.

Published in conjunction with The Josef Breitenbach Trust. Presents Josef Breitenbach's "Manifesto". A most beautiful portfolio. "Born in Munich in 1896, Josef Breitenbach began taking photographs while working in the family wine merchant business. Proving less than successful at the latter, he opened his first photographic studio in 1932. Munich at that time was a stronghold of libertarians and bons vivants, and Breitenbach's clients included actors, cabaret stars, writers, and political figures. It was a short-lived venture. When Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, the photographer escaped to Paris, where he stayed for the next six years. There, Breitenbach's close friendship with Max Ernst brought him into contact with the Surrealist Movement although he never became a formal member of that group. His work was included in a number of exhibitions, alongside that of Man Ray, Brassai, and Cartier-Bresson. After the outbreak of war and a period of internment, he fled to New York and established himself as a teacher and commercial photographer. His early work remained unseen until its surprise re-discovery after his death, in 1984" (Publisher's blurb). Josef Breitenbach was the classic Modernist case: A tough-minded, serious, soulful artist whose work was ahead of its time even as he absorbed whatever he found useful among the Movements swirling around him. He is now considered a major forerunner of Andy Warhol in his application of color to black-and-white photographs through toning and bromoil transfer. His Bauhaus-inspired work, especially the photograms (such as "Bird, New York, 1948") are masterpieces that have all the color, warmth, and detail of a painting combined with the clarity, precision, and fluidity of a photograph. Breitenbach's most famous champion/collector today is Sir Elton John, who has amassed what is probably the finest collection of his work. The Sir Elton John Photography Collection has been promised to the City of Houston, which should help make Breitenbach's magnificent work permanently available to the public. An absolute "must-have" title for Josef Breitenbach collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography book classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online, is still in the publisher's original plastic wrappers, and isinespecially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.
