Riassunto

For Paul Strand, the great pioneer of modernism, the summers of 1926 and 1930-1932 were a return to experimentation and periods of great artistic growth. He worked in makeshift darkrooms-one in a hotel basement and another above the Taos movie theater. The Southwest period brought not only artistic renewal, but also personal turmoil. His political and social ideas were shifting, and his relationship with the two most important people in his life-his wife Rebecca and his mentor Alfred Stieglitz-were disintegrating. This book reconstructs, in an intimate, visual way, the emotional and creative swirl around Paul Strand, through beautiful reproductions of his images from the period and a comprehensive collection of notes, illustrations, and ephemera.

While a handful of Strand's Southwest photographs have been previously published, this period of his outstanding career remains largely unexplored. Paul Strand Southwest presents many images for the first time, including dramatic landscapes, decayed ghost towns, the noble architecture of adobe churches, and his final, austere portraits of Rebecca.

Introduction, prologue and narrative text by Rebecca Busselle and Trudy Wilner Stack. 50 duotone images and 45 four-color images by Paul Strand / Introduzione, prologo e testo narrativo di Rebecca Busselle e Trudy Wilner Stack. 50 immagini in duotone e 45 immagini a quattro colori di Paul Strand . 4to pp. 112 Rilegato tela, sovracoperta (cloth, dust jacket) Ottimo (Fine) Questo libro ricostruisce intimamente il turbinio emotivo e creativo attorno a Paul Strand nelle estati del 1926 e 1930-31, attraverso bellissime riproduzioni delle sue fotografie del periodo e una raccolta completa di note, illustrazioni ed ephemera. Solo una manciata di fotografie di Southwest furono precedentemente pubblicate, lasciando così questo periodo della sua eccezionale carriera in gran parte inesplorato. Southwest presenta per la prima volta molte immagini: paesaggi drammatici, città fantasma in rovina, la nobile architettura delle chiese in mattoni rossi e i suoi ultimi, austeri ritratti di Rebecca.
