196389275New York: Brooklyn College 1963. Presentation copy from one of America's most influential photographers First edition presentation copy inscribed by Paul Strand on the rear wrapper "To Cipe and Will with affection Paul" - a superb association linking one of the great photographers of the 20th century with two of the most influential figures in American graphic design. Cipe Pineles long associated with Condé Nast and later the first woman to serve as autonomous art director of a mass-market magazine transformed editorial visual culture in the 1930s and 40s championing the use of fine artists in commercial illustration and breaking multiple professional barriers. Her husband William "Bill" Golden rose to become the seminal art director of CBS before his early death in 1958. Accompanying the book is a group of three intimate ingeniously handmade cards sent by Paul Strand and his third wife the photographer Hazel Kingsbury Strand spanning more than two decades of friendship. Each combines personal news with visual elements assembled for the recipients - small affectionate constructions that verge on artists' books and speak directly to the Strands' shared creative life and to their long professional connection with CBS. One 1951 celebrates Pineles and Golden's adoption of their son with Hazel noting Strand's ongoing work; another 1958 sent from their home at La Briardière and decorated with Hazel's sampler discusses Strand's "Scotch book" project later published as Tir a'Mhurain 1962; and the last 1974 illustrated with a winter photograph of their house reflects on advancing age work in progress and mutual friends in London and New York.
