From nudes to landscapes, a wide-ranging retrospective of the work of Edward Weston, one of the greatest 20th-century American photographers.Edward Weston (Highland Park, Illinois, 1886 - Wildcat Hill, California, 1958) began to take photographs at the age of sixteen and in 1911 he opened his first photographic studio in the town of Tropico in California. He became an increasingly important figure on the American art scene, so much so that in 1936 he was the first photographer to receive a research grant from the Guggenheim Foundation.In 1946 the MoMA in New York gave him a major retrospective, showing 300 works and thus definitively confirming him as one of the great artists of the 20th century.Often directly compared to painting and sculpture, Weston's photography is the expression of a relentless quest for pureness, both in composition and in the almost obsessive perfection of the image.This catalogue published to accompany an exhibition in Modena, the first show in Italy for over twenty years, celebrates Weston's extraordinary oeuvre with over 120 original photographic prints

"La ricerca di Marangoni è incentrata sul tema della rovina come metafora della decadenza dell'occidente. Scattate fra il 1988 e il 2003, le immagini qui raccolte mettono i paesaggi dei siti archeologici monumentali delle civiltà antiche a confronto con gli scenari contemporanei delle metropoli occidentali. Accanto ai siti dell'antichità, le capitali degli imperi di oggi compaiono anch'esse quali vestigia di luoghi monumentali assediati dall'incertezza, simboli di un occidente ormai divenuto vulnerabile. Nell'alternarsi di presente e passato, i percorsi del fotografo formano una spirale che ripete all'infinito lo stesso cerchio, quasi ad indicare la ricerca di una matrice comune, di un unico luogo d'origine" (Nicoletta Leonardi).

The tintype, patented in 1856, was a cheap, fast, easy-to-make, practically indestructible type of photograph that became enormously popular among the working class in the late nineteenth century. For common laborers and their families, the opportunity to join the ranks of those who owned pictures of family and friends--the upper classes--was momentous. This collection exhibits more than eighty examples of a specific kind of tintype: occupational portraits, photographs of working people with the tools of their trade. Michael L. Carlebach examines the historical significance of these tintypes and finds that they reveal a great deal about late nineteenth-century values. The subjects of these images are plumbers proudly holding their wrenches and pipe cutters, carpenters with their saws and lathing hatchets, textile workers with their spindles and yarn, icemen with their tongs. These people lived and worked at a time when a depersonalized factory system run by production and efficiency experts was beginning to dominate American industry and culture. Many of the men and women in these tintypes were part of a disappearing class of self-employed artisans and journeymen; their portraits proudly stress their individuality and the essential nobility of their work. The most common reaction of historians to tintypes has been undisguised contempt or, at best, indifference. The photographs were generally seen as hopelessly unartistic and common. Yet Carlebach celebrates these anonymous portraits and finds that they say as much about today's working Americans--who are much more likely to document their toys and leisure activities than their professions--as they do about the working men and women who proudly sat for them in a much different age.

Hine's famous black and white photographs document the construction of the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at the time. Hine pays tribute to the human spirit by dramatically contrasting the workers with the mammoth scale of the structure. Thousands of construction workers, electricians, and other technicians risked their lives to ensure that the skyscraper rose to its now legendary height. In observing these men at work, Hine created a photo-journalistic record of their daring and perseverance. His photos also give a surprising glimpse into blue collar America in the 1930s when jobs were scarce and morale hit rock bottom. But the faces of the men swinging from cables, dangling from beams, and relaxing on the Empire State's unfinished steel peaks convey anything but despair.

Editecd with an introduction by Ian Jeffrey. Firenze, Thames and Hudson 1994, cm.22x28, pp.192, ill.bn. brossura copertina figurata. Bill Brandt's position as one of the greatest British photographers of the 20th century is incontestable. His name and achievement fit easily within the pantheon of international 'greats' of modern photography: Atget, Brassai, Kertdsz and Cartier-Bresson. Brandt's career began in 1920s Paris, when he was introduced by Ezra Pound to Man Ray, who took him on as an apprentice and who inspired the surrealistic vision characteristic of his early pictures. His first great work spanned a whole decade: an encyclopaedic study of the social conditions of Britain in the Thirties, culminating in two famous cycles, "The English at Home" (1936) and "A Night in London" (1938). In the Second World War and the years that followed Brandt expanded his range to include portraiture, landscape and nudes. Patiently delving after the uniqueness of every person or place - the sadness of Dylan Thomas, the bleakness of Wuthering Heights or the qualities of the female form - his vision conferred a timeless, mythic quality on both the notable and the ordinary. This retrospective review of Brandt's work, edited with an introduction by Ian Jeffrey, is published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery, London. Its six sections cover every aspect of his art, from the early sociological studies to the late nudes. Many celebrated images are included, but others have never been seen in book form before. Ian Jeffrey is the author of many books, including "Landscape" (1984) and "Photography: A Concise History" (1981), both published by Thames and Hudson.
