New in New dust jacket (opened only for signature). From the publisher: "For almost two decades now, Fazal Sheikh has been working among displaced people in East Africa, South America and Asia, making photographs and recording testimonies that bring home to us the realities of their lives. For his last book, Moksha, he went to Vrindavan, one of India's holy cities, where Hindu widows come to live out their last years. It was while listening to their stories that Sheikh began to comprehend the full extent to which women in India are the victims of religious and cultural codes that reduce many of them to little more than child-rearing servants. He returned to India to find out more from young women growing up in a society that, whatever economic advances it may boast, is still widely prejudiced against them. This book, Ladli--which in Hindi means 'beloved daughter'--is the result. The stories told here will come as a shock to many: the abortion of thousands of healthy fetuses every year because of their gender, the murder at birth of baby girls, the abduction and rape of adolescents forced into prostitution, the exploitation of child labor, the physical abuse of domestic workers and, worst of all, the murder of young women whose dowries, or performance as wives, does not match their husbands', or their husbands' families', expectations. Through a network of street-level activists, Sheikh builds up a picture of India that undermines its new role as a modern democracy. His portraits have a directness and articulacy that painfully reinforce the stories they tell. Some of the strongest voices in this book belong to older women, who have overcome personal tragedies and are determined to fight so that other women might avoid them. What does it say about a country that it mistreats its women? It is not for lack of legislation that women continue to be abused in India, but because the police, the judiciary and the government fail to enforce the laws made to protect them. How can such an ingrained system be reformed? To answer that, we need to understand more about its victims, and in this Fazal Sheikh is a reliable guide." The richness of these prints intensifies the impact of Sheikh's subject matter, as Vince Aletti has written in The New Yorker: "At once descriptive and loving, and warm rather than cool, the photographs are extraordinarily moving portraits in the classic mode (think Julia Margaret Cameron and Irving Penn), whose aesthetic weight is multiplied by the power of their maker's concern."

In 2007, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain presented Rock'n'Roll 39-59, an exhibition on the genesis and launch of rock'n'roll in the United States, from the boogie-woogie explosion in 1939 to the events of the late 1950s that marked the decline of what could be called the first golden age of rock'n'roll. The exhibition catalog offers a chance to relive this founding cultural phenomenon in American history. Bringing together exceptional posters, records, and rare items from the day, it also places photography in the spotlight, notably through the photographs of Alfred Wertheimer, Bruce Davidson, Marion Post Wolcott, Ernest C.

Rilegato. Condizione: nuovo. Condizione sovraccoperta: nuovo. prima edizione. A photo book of American photographer Saul Leiter. The writer traveled to New York to study painting in the late 1940s, but was impressed by the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition held at MoMA and began to become a photographer. In the 1950s, he was featured in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, and was also active as a fashion photographer. However, he is a solitary photographer who has been gradually forgotten due to the slump in fashion magazines and changes in trends, and has spent his time in a world far from the front stage. This book is a collection of photographs published at the 2008 exhibition held at the Bresson Foundation in France. It consists of 151 color / monochrome illustrations taken in the 1950s. A number of works full of beauty just like paintings, rich in modeling and expressiveness. Here's a discreet and cool photographer's masterpiece that wants to capture the dripping drops and snow scenes on the windows rather than the beautiful models. First Edition 2008.…
