Prima ed. americana First American edition. Libri fotografici 1 Parr Badger 2004 Parr Martin Badger Gerry The Photobook: A History I. London Phaidon 2004. <em>''La vera unicità del mezzo fotografico consiste nella sua assoluta e incondizionata oggettività''. A tale affermazione divenuta il manifesto della fotografia modernista il fotografo Paul Strand rimase sempre fedele soprattutto nella produzione di libri che illustravano popoli e Paesi cui si dedicò dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Uno dei più memorabili è '<strong>'Tir a' Mhurain: Outer Hebrides''</strong> nome gaelico per l'isola di South Uist ovvero the Land of Bent Grass. Il volume le cui bellissime fotografie in bianco e nero furono scattate nell'isola che dà il titolo al libro oltre che a Benbecula ed Eriskay ha un risvolto politico. Strand fotografo marxista controllato dall'FBI sbarcò sull'isola proprio mentre si andavano conducendo sondaggi segreti per l'utilizzo del luogo come base missilistica americana. Strand indignato concepì in parte Tir a' Mhurain come protesta contro il militarismo aggressivo statunitense. Il fotografo inoltre insistette per stampare il libro a Leipzig Germania dell'Est adducendo motivi tecnici più che politici ovvero l'esistenza di uno speciale processo di stampa disponibile unicamente dall'altra parte della cortina di ferro. Il libro venne bandito negli USA a meno che le copie importate recassero il timbro ''stampato in Germania occupata dall'URSS''. Clausola che Strand ovviamente non avrebbe mai accettato.</em> Grossman Publishers, hardcover

Hine before becoming a commercial photographer in 1912 following Alfred Stieglitz in his commitment to 'straight' photography. In 1933 he was appointed chief of photography and cinematography in the Secretariat of Education in Mexico.

93748New York Aperture Foundation 2002. 4° 125 S. zahlr. Abb. OLwd. mit OU. Kleiner Fleck a. einer S. tadell. Second edition. Schweiz- Tir a'Mhurain is a collection of photographs that reflects the impressions gathered by Paul Strand and his wife during their 3-month visit to the Hebrides in 1945. Juxtaposing people and landscape Strand's beautifully sequenced photographs depict the perfect complicity he saw between nature and habitation in their wild terrain. Whether it is a view of the rocks and the sea or a grinning shepherd boy; scuddling clouds hanging over seaside house or the wrinkled face of an old lady framed by a knitted shawl Strand's images transcend the ephemeral. This extended portrait captures the essence and complexity of a singular place. As title included in Parr - Badger The Photobook Vol. I 010 New York, Aperture Foundation, 2002 unknown

91270New York 1916. . Photogravure on japan paper from Camera Work No. 48 annotated on the reverse image size 13.4 x 16.6 cm. sheet 28.1 x 20 cm mounted and framed.<br /> An iconic image of Wall Street and a turning point in modern photography.<br /><br />Wall Street depicts a scene of everyday life in Manhattan's Financial District. Workers are seen walking past the J.P. Morgan building in New York City on the famous Wall Street of which the photograph takes its name. The photograph is famous for its reliance on the sharpness and contrast of the shapes and angles created by the building and the workers that lead to its abstraction. This photograph is considered to be one of Strand's most famous works and an example of his change from pictorialism to straight photography. Strand moved from the posed to portraying the purity of the subjects. There is no focal point with the lines converging off of the frame of the image. The financial building take majority of the frame. Emphasis is placed on the strong shapes created by the architecture of the building. The workers are included in the image but are faceless and are trumped in size by the massive square shapes from the building they walk past. Also the workers are captured in motion which on film makes them appear blurry. This aesthetic that Strand creates in Wall Street is his break toward the modern.<br /><br />Social change was important to Strand. With Wall Street he sought to portray a social message. He captured the faceless people next to the looming financial building in order to give a warning. Strand shows 'the recently built J.P. Morgan Co. building whose huge dark recesses dwarf the passers-by with the imposing powers of uniformity and anonymity' Ollman Art Review: Paul Strand: A Transition Caught on Film. The people cannot escape the overwhelming power that this modern establishment will have on their future and the future of America. He warns us to not be the small people that look almost ant-like next to this building that has a massive amount of control over the American economy.<br /><br />The photo now simply titled 'Wall Street' was one of six Paul Strand pictures Stieglitz published in Camera Work. In three of the six pictures humanity strides out from abstract ideas and each figure was a study in itself an irregular item complimented by modular formats that surround it. Another set of eleven Strand photos were published in the magazine's final issue in 1917 and those pictures overwhelmingly endorsed by Stieglitz as 'brutally direct' made Strand's reputation.<br /> New York, 1916. unknown
