Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this autobiography of Lotte Jacobi, exploring her journey from running a premier Berlin studio to becoming a renowned photographer of cultural icons in New York. Square quarto, original publisherâs cloth, illustrated with a curated selection of her iconic portraits and photographs. Association copy, inscribed by… the book's designer Carl Zahn on the front free endpaper to celebrated portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh and his wife Estrellita, "For Yousuf & Estrellita affectionately Carl, Felicitas & Maja 14-3-80." Karsh had photographed Carl Zahn on November 28, 1979. Yousuf Karsh is recognized as one of the leading photographers of the twentieth century. Arriving in Canada in 1924 as an Armenian refugee, Karsh eventually settled in Ottawa. Over six decades, he mastered the art of portraiture and created a unique chronicle of his time through images of celebrated legends. Some of his most notable subjects include Winston Churchill, Audrey Hepburn, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Ernest Hemingway, among others. A celebrity in his own right, he was an elegant and charming public figure, captivating audiences with compelling stories told in images and words. Karsh sought to capture, as he put it, the âelusive moment of truth,â revealing the essential nature of his subjects as reflected in their eyes, hands, and attitudes. From the collection of Yousuf Karsh with his estate label to the front pastedown. Held by the Estate of Yousuf & Estrellita Karsh; after Yousufâs death in 2002 passing to Estrellita Karsh; after Estrellitaâs death in March 2025 passing to Katherine Getchell. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Cover and frontispiece by Lotte Jacobi. Book design by Carl Zahn. Lotte Jacobi (1896â"1990) was a German-American photographer whose six-decade career bridged the worlds of Weimar-era European modernism and mid-century American intellectual and artistic life, producing a body of work remarkable for both its historical scope and its intimate psychological penetration. Born in Thorn, Prussia, into a distinguished dynasty of photographers stretching back four generations, Jacobi studied at the Bavarian State Academy of Photography in Munich before establishing herself in Berlin during the 1920s and early 1930s as one of the city's most sought-after portrait photographers. Her Berlin studio became a gathering place for the cultural and political luminaries of the Weimar Republic, and her portraits from this period â" of figures including Albert Einstein, Peter Lorre, Lotte Lenya, Kurt Weill, and Claire Waldoff â" constitute an invaluable visual record of a brilliant and doomed cultural moment. Fleeing Nazi Germany in 1935, Jacobi resettled first in New York, where she continued her portrait practice among à migrà artists and intellectuals, and later in Deering, New Hampshire, where she maintained a studio and gallery until late in her life. In her later career she developed a series of abstract cameraless images she called photogenics, placing her in conversation with the experimental traditions of Man Ray and Lászlà Moholy-Nagy.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this curated collection of art commissioned by Playboy magazine, showcasing the magazine's effort to blend "high" and "low" art and highlighting visual legacies from artists like Salvador Dalà and Andy Warhol. Quarto, original publisher's cloth, profusely illustrated with over 170 pieces of art. Association copy…, inscribed by Ray Bradbury on the front free endpaper to celebrated portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh and his wife Estrellita, "To Estrellita & Yousuf Karsh: With thanks for a grand experience, and with the hope that we will meet again! Fond Wishes! Ray Bradbury Oct. 31, 1990." Likely received by Karsh after a sitting with Bradbury and fellow writer Kurt Vonnegut on October 30, 1990. Yousuf Karsh is recognized as one of the leading photographers of the twentieth century. Arriving in Canada in 1924 as an Armenian refugee, Karsh eventually settled in Ottawa. Over six decades, he mastered the art of portraiture and created a unique chronicle of his time through images of celebrated legends.

Fine in a fine dust jacket. Cover painting by Pater Sato. The Art of Playboy (1985) presents color reproductions of approximately 170 works of art commissioned by Playboy magazine, with an introduction and commentary on select pieces by Ray Bradbury, the celebrated author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. The volume makes a compelling case for Playboy's art program as a serious institutional force in postwar visual culture â" its roster of contributing artists includes figures such as Salvador DalÃ, Andy Warhol, Alberto Vargas, Patrick Nagel, Tomi Ungerer, Larry Rivers, and James Rosenquist, a breadth that situates the magazine not merely as a publication of popular entertainment but as a sustained patron of fine and graphic arts. Bradbury's presence as the volume's textual voice is itself telling: a writer celebrated for his lyrical engagement with technology, imagination, and the American vernacular.
