Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Cook, Dennis (cover photograph) (illustrator). Near fine condition color photographic softcover/magazine wraps. All pages are in fine unmarked condition. Includes Introduction and List of Photographers. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs. "The pictures you hold in your hands are from the LIFE that, suspended as a weekly in 1972, was reborn as a monthly in 1978. Like most such collections, this one is a kind of betrayal; the photographs - and photographers - most poignantly present here are the ones that are not included. There are several other collections called The Best of LIFE that we could have done, and perhaps someday we will. In the meantime, we will busy ourselves with the sort of journalism that inspires pictures that one day can stand alone, pictures that outlive their stories, pictures as great as poems. We chose the text of a poem, Whitman's "One's-Self I sing" from Leaves of Grass, to accompany the photographs in the section that follows. But as an epigraph for this collection, a few lines from Whitman's "Starting from Paumanok" serve better. Let them serve as an epigraph for photography as well, and for this magazine: This then is life, Here is what has come to the surface after so many throes and convulsions. How curious! How real!" " - excerpt from the Introduction by James R. Gaines, managing editor.

Hardcover. Condition: As new. Quarto. Hardcover. Bound in black cloth with illustrated jacket. 600 pages : color illustrations, portraits ; 33 cm. Contrasting intimate visits to artists' studios, intended to evoke the particular elements of their own interior landscapes, with explorations of the USA's sweeping landscapes of light and form, which have inspired artists since the Luminists and the landscape specialists of the Hudson River School, 'Art Studio America' provides a privileged look at the dreams, ideas and thoughts of 115 artists who are active today. While the world may know their work well, they have rarely, if ever, allowed their personal landscapes to be traversed in such an intimate manner and against the backdrop, both literal and figurative, of their country's larger environment. Some are immigrants, while others chart their professional journey's through their work amid the vagaries of the American art market. From established figures to up-and-coming artists, 'Art Studio America' provides a privileged glimpse into the workings of one of the world's largest artistic communities.

PORTFOLIO CONDITION: New/Mint (the set). Bastard Countryside collects together 15 years worth of exploration within the British landscape, dwelling on what Victor Hugo called the 'bastard countryside': "somewhat ugly but bizarre, made up of two different natures". Friend's large-format colour images scrutinise these in-between, unkempt, and often surreal marginal areas of the country, highlighting frictions between the pastoral sublime and the discarded, often polluted reality of the present. Starting from a classical landscape tradition, Friend's meticulous 5x4 photographs are given heightened effect through exaggerations of colour and composition, embodying friction between British pastoral ideals and present reality. In particular, Friend follows moments in which the expected narrative of the landscape is rudely interrupted: often through leakage, pollution, or the wreckage and containment of nature. In his accompanying essay, writer Robert Macfarlane describes Bastard Countryside as "a vision par excellence of our synthetic 'modern nature'- produced by assemblage and entanglement rather than purity and distinction". Contained within Friend's photographs are "hard questions [.] about what kinds of landscape one might wish either to pass through or to live in; about what versions of 'modern nature' might be worth fighting for, and why." Robin Friend (b.1983) is a London-based photographer who grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He divides his time between his fine art practice and commissioned work. Recent projects include the award-winning books Sanctuary: Britain's Artists and their Studios and Art Studio America (Thames & Hudson, 2011-13); a collaborative choreographic work for the BBC, Winged Bull in the Elephant Case (2017, with Wayne McGregor); and a National Gallery exhibition project, documenting the gallery's wartime art storage in a Snowdonian mine (2018). Friend's work has been exhibited at Aperture Gallery, New York; Christies, Paris and at the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Somerset House & the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Bastard Countryside is his first book. Signed.
