Paperback. Condizione: New. THE HARLEM BOOK OF THE DEAD with text and photographs by JAMES VAN DER ZEE, OWEN DODSON, CAMILLE ILLOPS, TONY MORRISON, KARLA FC HOLLOWAY. The publication is the most complete record of Van Der Zee's funerary photographs, featuring over three dozen portraits by the artist, who meticulously composed the setting and subjects before using his renowned dark room and retouching skills to superimpose celestial figures, poetry, biblical scenes, or portraits onto the images to compensate for lack of adornments, such as flowers, or to fulfill the requests of his subjects or their families. Billops recognized the singular value in these portraits and collected them for the first time here, choosing to pair them with Dodson's words to replicate a pairing of "death's oldest companionsthe portrait artist and the poet." Further, her introduction and interview provide a valuable service in detailing the history of Van Der Zee's life and work, his compositional decisions in the portraits, and the lives of his subjects and the circumstances of their passing.During his lifetime, Van Der Zee was primarily known as a studio photographer, with an active portrait practice dating from 1916 to his death in 1983. His work took off between the World Wars and he is largely responsible for providing a visual record of the emergent Black middle class in the early twentieth century, capturing weddings, funerals, parades, sports clubs, community groups, and infantrymen (such as the Harlem Hellfighters). Over the years, understanding of Van Der Zee's workwhich was imbued from the start with creative technical masteryhas evolved and he is no longer seen as a mere documentarian but rather a visionary artist who amplified the beauty of the life and community around him.

A signed handwritten postcard on the author's stationery accompanies this 1960s Popular Library edition of the first novel by queer Black poet, novelist, and playwright Owen Vincent Dodson (19141983), who was incredibly influential in the development of the Black Theater Movement. Responding to a white fan (with the same surname) of When Trees Were Green on his own stationery (with hand-corrected new address, Dodson wrote: "My dear Mrs. Dodson Thank you for your letter about my book: When Trees Were Green. It is a wonderful feeling to a writer to know that his work is appreciated and has added his emotions to others. I hope your year will be pleasant. Best Wishes, Owen Dodson, Sept. 6, 1967." Generally considered to be autobiographical, When Trees Were Green, originally published under the title Boy at the Window, is a coming of age novel about a 9-year-old Brooklyn boy named Coin Foreman, called as "vivid as Catcher in the Rye" by the New York Times. Signed handwritten postcard on author's stationery responding to a fan of When Trees Were Green, dated September 6th, 1967, taped in to front endpapers.
