Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This richly illustrated joint biography tells the story of how a fashion model turned photographer and an English Quaker turned Surrealist painter and art collector influenced modern art with their vision and passion. As they inspired each other's careers and established their home as a meeting place for the exchange of ideas among artists such as Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Paul Eluard, Joan Miro, and Saul Steinberg, Miller and Penrose created a life together that was in itself a work of art. In the book concise accounts of their lives are followed by comparisons of their works, which demonstrate their symbiotic relationship. The range of art reproduced in the book - photographs, sketches, paintings, and collages - offers a kaleidoscopic sampling of these two important oeuvres and an exquisite portrayal of a unique and uniquely productive partnership. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Buen estado. 2000. For thirty years Alex Harris has lived part of each year in northern New Mexico, responding to the vernacular life of the Hispanic villages both as a photographer and writer, but also as a neighbor and friend. Like the novelist, John Berger, Harris draws his 6primary inspiration and unique vision from his immersion into the lives and experiences of the people he documents. This extraordinary retrospective publication brings together for the first time Harris' black-and-white and color photographs of northern New Mexico and his surprising, cinematic color images from the city of Havana, Cuba. Harris photographs these two manifestations of the Spanish diaspora with a curious American edge. In New Mexico, television sets frame both saints and soap operas; dancing, naked hippies are set in sharp relief against the traditions of Hispanic village life. In Havana, centuries-old baroque architecture and evidence of more recent communist culture take on new meanings when photographed from the perspective of the backseats of 1950's vintage American cars. In many of these images, people are altogether absent, yet richly evoked through the objects they have made and touched, worshiped and used over the years.

Hardcover. Condition: New.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Pablo Picasso was one of the most frequently photographed celebrities of the last century. Virtually all of the great twentieth-century portraitists photographed him, including Cecil Beaton, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Man Ray, Irving Penn and Lee Miller. Photo Portraits of Picasso gathers these portraits for the first time, examining the often tense relationship between Picasso's control of his public persona and the intentions of the photographers. Ranging from classic staged sittings--some commissioned by Picasso himself--to more spontaneous snapshots, the portraits in this volume are a record of the artist's sustained, lifelong construction of his public identity. Other photographers included are Rogi Andrà , Richard Avedon, Bill Brandt, Brassaà , Renà Burri, Robert Capa, Lucien Clergue, Jean Cocteau, Denise Colomb, David Douglas Duncan, Jaques-Henri Lartigue, Herbert List, Dora Maar, Madame d'Ora, Willy Maywald, Gjon Mili, Inge Morath, Arnold Newman, Roberto Otero, Edward Quinn, Gotthard Schuh, Michel Sima and Andrà Villiers.
