In 1984 SebastiA?o Salgado began what would be a fifteen-month project of photographing the drought-stricken Sahel region of Africa in the countries of Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and Sudan, where approximately one million people died from extreme malnutrition and related causes Working with the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, озвшд Salgado documented the enormous suffering and the great dignity of the refugees This early work became a template for his future photographic projects about other afflicted people around the world Since then, Salgado has again and again sought to give visual voice to those millions of human beings who, because of military conflict, poverty, famine, overpopulation, pestilence, environmental degradation, and other forms of catastrophe, teeter on the edge of survival Beautifully produced, with thoughtful supporting narratives by Orville Schell, Fred Ritchin, and Eduardo Galeano, this first U S edition brings some of Salgado's earliest and most important work to an American audience for the first time Twenty years after the photographs were taken, Sahel: The End of the Road is still painfully relevant Born in Brazil in 1944, SebastiA?o Salgado studied economics in SA?o Paulo and Paris and worked in Brazil and England While traveling as an economist to Africa, he began photographing the people he encountered Working entirely in a black-and-white format, Salgado highlights the larger meaning of what is happening to his subjects with an imagery that testifies to the fundamental dignity of all humanity while simultaneously protesting its violation by war, poverty, and other injustices "The planet remains divided," Salgado explains "The first world in a crisis of excess, the third world in a crisis of need " This disparity between the haves and the have-nots is the subtext of almost all of Salgado's work. 2004 г Твердый переплет, 152 стр ISBN 0520241703.
Lee Friedlander's surreal sensibility is on full display in this set of photographs, originally published in 1970 Here Friedlander focuses on the role of his own physical presence in his images He writes: "At first, my presence in my photos was fascinating and disturbing But as time passed and I was more a part of other ideas in my photos, I was озвшй able to add a giggle to those feelings " Here readers can witness this progression as Friedlander appears in the form of his shadow, or reflected in windows and mirrors, and only occasionally fully visible through his own camera In some photos he visibly struggles with the notion of self-portraiture, desultorily shooting himself in household mirrors and other reflective surfaces Soon, though, he begins to toy with the pictures, almost teasingly inserting his shadow into them to amusing and provocative effect--elongated and trailing a group of women seen only from the knees down; cast and bent over a chair as if seated in it; mirroring the silhouette of someone walking down the street ahead of him; or falling on the desert ground, a large bush standing in for hair These uncanny self-portraits evoke a surprisingly full landscape of the artist's life and mind This reprint edition of Lee Friedlander: Self Portrait contains nearly 50 duotone images and an afterword by John Szarkowski, former Director of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art Friedlander has created a dialogue between his own image and a wonderful array of his other subjects --Walter Hopps, Artforum, December 2000 Afterword by John Szarkowski Hardcover, 10 x 9 5 in /104 pgs / 49 duotones. 2005 г Твердый переплет, 104 стр ISBN 0870703382.

In an essay here, cultural critic and curator Negar Azimi articulates a singular problem of being a photographer in the Arab Middle East "Taswir" (or picture making), according to many Arab scholars, is prohibited by Muslim law, thus the "notorious adage 'mamnous el taswir' (forbidden to photograph) Exists in ubiquitous fashion, озвшц seemingly at every turn of the photographer's visual field " Keeping that in mind makes this unprecedented and multifaceted view of the Arab world as seen through the eyes of 56 Arab and Western photographers, the only current survey of its kind, an especially stimulating collection Western readers will be introduced to multiple generations of photographers (male and female) previously little known outside the Middle East Originally assembled for the highly acclaimed exhibition Nazar at the Noorderlicht Festival in the Netherlands, these pictures comprise the largest compilation of Arab photographs ever exhibited in the West Covering both documentary and fine art photography and ranging from North Africa to Lebanon and Palestine, from Iraq to Syria and Saudia Arabia, this book will open an often shuttered world For example, Nadia Benchallal, who has assisted Annie Liebowitz and Arthur Elgort, offers black-and-white portraits of people who straddle Algerian-French culture, and Randa Shaath has recorded, from her high-rise apartment in Cairo, the lives of a shadow society of rooftop dwellers in the city Nazar, which means "seeing, insight, reflection" in Arabic, challenges preconceptions and reveals a complexity of Arab life not glimpsed on the nightly news Edited by Wim Melis Essays by Michket Krifa, Negar Azimi, Issam Nassar, Isolde Brielmaier, Issa Touma, Peter Lewis and Sherifa Zuhur Hardcover, 9 x 9 in /268 pgs / 168 color and 132 duotones. 2005 г Твердый переплет, 251 стр ISBN 1931788855.
Today, the photo album is something we practically take for granted, and "scrapbooking" is a billion dollar industry with its own television network It was not always so Before the camera, ordinary families had little more than the family Bible, a portrait of grandpa, and a drawer full of documents Then Eastman Kodak introduced the Brownie, озвшщ giving Americans the means to document and record their daily lives Hundreds of thousands of these cameras were produced, and as a result small collections of photographs were assembled and preserved in an astonishing assortment of albums, with photographs as the raw material for collages, constructions, and text experiments Snapshot Chronicles is a visual exploration of the creative outpouring made possible by the camera Friends, family, travel, domestic life, special occasions, the workplace, farm and city life—these were all intermingled in early albums in surprising and dynamic forms Men, women, and even children became the creators of their own visual biographies, and documenters of previously unprecedented aspects of American life Four essayists weave together the history of the photo album, making them not just a part of our past but a significant aspect of Americana Snapshot Chronicles is designed by noted graphic designer Martin Venezky (It Is Beautiful Then Gone) Copublished with the Douglas F Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College. 2006 г Твердый переплет, 200 стр ISBN 1568985576.

This monograph forms an introduction to the major themes and the key images of American photographer Joel Meyerowitz, illustrated with 55 chronologically-presented images that offer a fresh insight into his career An introductory essay by Colin Westerbeck discusses Meyerowitz's life and work and places him both in the context of his time and озвщо within the history of photography Born in 1938 in New York City, Meyerowitz went to Ohio to study painting and medical drawing at the State University but moved back to New York to work in advertising as an art director-designer Then he started to take photographs, leaving his job to concentrate on his new career Shooting film in black and white, he travelled around the United States for three months after which he was offered a Guggenheim Scholarship to take pictures on the theme of `leisure time' It is as an early advocate of colour photography that Meyerowitz has had greatest influence, for he was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of colour from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance His subject matter altered from incidents on city streets shot with a small 35mm camera to the large format field photograph Architecture, light and space, particularly at Cape Cod, acquired a new interest for him After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York, he was the only photographer granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero where he systematically documented the work of demolition and excavation, rescue and recovery He has been awarded the title Photographer of the Year by the Friends of Photography, San Francisco His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and has been exhibited and published worldwide. 2005 г Твердый переплет, 128 стр ISBN 0714845094.
A Beautiful Monograph Illuminating the Iconic Images of one of the Most Central and Influential Photographers of the Twentieth Century Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was a key figure in America's acceptance of photography as a serious form of artistic expression As founder of the Photo Secession movement and editor of the influential Camera Work, озвщц he is one of the most important cultural forces in twentieth-century America His work bridges the gap between the self-consciously aesthetic Pictorialist photography at the turn of the century, and the more precisely descriptive 'straight' photography of the 1920s and 1930s ALFRED STIEGLITZ by Graham Clarke, is an illustrated overview of the work of this legendary photographer This beautiful and affordable monograph provides the perfect introduction to the work of a major force in the American modernist movement through a chronological sequence of 55 black and white images, including iconic images, such as The Steerage (1907), as well as lesser-known work The accompanying text by Professor Clarke provides a fresh perspective on Stieglitz's life and work, placing him within the cultural context of his time and within the history of photography With a career straddling two centuries, Stieglitz's work bridges different photographic styles He was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, but studied in Germany, where he was first drawn to photography, and in the 1880s he traveled around Europe taking pictures On his return to New York in 1889 he began exhibiting his own work and writing on photography However, he soon came to reject retouching and other forms of manipulation His work evolved progressively towards the ideal of 'pure' photography He stated 'My aim is increasingly to make my photographs look so much like photographs that unless one has eyes and sees, they won't be seen - and still everyone will never forget having once looked at them ' He was a major figure in the modernist movement in the New York of the 1900s and, through his galleries and publications, played a crucial part in the development of both American art and photography Stieglitz promoted, published, and exhibited much of the best photography of the period in his role as editor of the now legendary magazine Camera Work, and through his galleries He is also wrote extensively on photography throughout his career. 2006 г Твердый переплет, 128 стр ISBN 0714842559.
Horses have been part of the American West since the first Spanish explorers brought their European-bred steeds onto the new continent Soon thereafter, some of these animals, lost or abandoned by their owners or captured by indigenous peoples, became the foundation of the great herds of mustangs (from the Spanish mesteA±o, stray) that still озвщщ roam the West These feral horses are inextricably intertwined with the culture, economy, and mythology of the West, and the image of bands of mustangs running free has become a symbol of all that our culture considers the "real" West The current situation of the mustangs as vigorous competitors for the scanty resources of the West's drought-parched rangelands has put them at the center of passionate controversies about their purpose, place, and future on the open range Photographer/oral historian Paula Morin has interviewed sixty-two people who know these horses best: ranchers, horse breeders and trainers, Native Americans, veterinarians, wild horse advocates, mustangers, range scientists, cowboy poets, western historians, wildlife experts, animal behaviorists, and agents of the federal Bureau of Land Management The result is the most comprehensive, impartial examination yet of the history and impact of wild mustangs in the Great Basin Morin elicits from her interviewees a vast range of expertise, insight, and candid opinion about the nature of horses, ranching, and the western environment Their comments will allow readers to understand and to form their own conclusions about the importance of mustangs to the culture of the West and about the ways that humans can best care for them while at the same time serving as responsible stewards of the land and the rest of its denizens Honest Horses brings us the voices of authentic westerners, people who live intimately with horses and the land, who share their experiences and love of the mustangs, and who understand how precariously all life exists in the arid vastness of the Great Basin This is a book for all who love the West, its traditions, and its magnificent open spaces, for horse lovers of all persuasions, for anyone interested the daunting complexity of the environmental issues in which wild horses play such a central and contested role. 2006 г Мягкая обложка, 376 стр ISBN 0874176735.

Family photographs are a universally familiar genre, and an intimate one, which makes this collection an accessible entry point for its deceptively simple but deeply complex social and representational issues In turning their cameras on their own households,17 artists including Miguel Calderon, Ari Markopoulos, Chris Verene and Gillian озвъб Wearing consider the family as a dynamic social institution, and confirm, if there was any doubt, that its affairs are never simply personal, but rather are entwined with and illustrative of broader historical, anthropological and economic considerations Using the languages of snapshots, documentary and staged photography, as well as conceptual and performance art, and focusing on the undercurrents of contemporary domestic life, these artists link the family to class and financial issues, gender and ethnic stereotypes, shifting marital and generational roles, and the impacts of war and immigration Emotionally incisive and visually inventive, Shoot the Family transforms that most common artifact--the family photograph--into an illuminating investigation of contemporary culture Essay by Ralph Rugoff and a short story by Lynne Tillman. 2006 г Твердый переплет, 64 стр ISBN 0916365735.
