Buckaroo - Kurt Markus - 1st Edition, Little, Brown & Company, 1987
About the Item
First Edition, published by Little, Brown & Company, Boston, 1987
The photographs collected in 'Buckaroo: Images From the Sagebrush Basin' show why Kurt Markus's photographs of cowboys, ranches and the American West remain so acclaimed. Classic, beautiful and deeply sympathetic to the way of life of his subjects, Markus turns his Pentax camera, favoured by fashion photographers such as Terrence Donovan, onto the dramatic solitude and beauty of cattle ranchers in the vanishing plains of the American West. The resulting photographs show his attachment to the work of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, with a sense of style, composition and observed beauty that moved his work from the pages of Western Horseman magazine to the pages of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and many more. One of his classic photobooks on the subject he mastered, with finely printed plates and a revealing, often-quoted introduction by Markus himself.
Hardback in publisher's original dust jacket, text in English, unpaginated with 127 colour and black and white plates throughout.

- Van Gogh a Retrospective 1986 1st EditionBy Vincent van GoghLocated in North Hollywood, CAVan Gogh a Retrospective 1986 1st edition. Large beautiful heavy hardcover coffee table book. New York: Hugh Lauter Levin Associates, 1986. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. Dimensions:13.50 X 10.5 X 1.50 inches. * Publisher : Hugh Lauter Levin Associates; First edition. (January 1, 1986) * Language : English * Hardcover : 385 pages Synopsis: This is a very useful book. If you are interested only in the reproductions (good drawings as well as paintings), you will enjoy their high quality--and the breadth of Vincent's work that they cover. If you are interested in primary resources about van Gogh's life--newspaper articles; letters and reminiscences from friends, fellow artists, relatives--this volume is a real treasure. Between the excellent reproductions and the extraordinarily fine collection of biographical materials, this must be the best one-volume source on van Gogh. By the time he died in 1890 at the age of thirty-seven Vincent van Gogh had painted hundreds of pictures, yet sold only a few. Today his paintings sell for millions of dollars each, and his life as an artist is legendary. He is the quintessential modern artist, operating on the edge of his sensibilities, where life and art are inextricably bound together. Van Gogh : a retrospective tells the story of the great Dutch artist as a single volume has never told it before, illuminating his work with a fascination selection of primary texts, including some of Van Gogh's letters. In 125 superb color reproductions and 103 black-and-white illustrations, the struggles and triumphs of Van Gogh's art are surveyed from the early dark landscapes and paintings of Dutch and Belgian laborers to the bright, intense visions of Paris, Arles, Saint Remy, and Auvers, where he took his life. Complementing the works are pertinent photographs from the period and portraits of the artist by Toulouse-Lautrec, Emile Bernard, Paul Gauguin, and others. Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. From Publishers Weekly "He did not paint his pictures; it was like he exhaled them in a gasping, boiling breath," one German critic aptly wrote of Van Gogh. Reminiscences of the artist by friends and passing acquaintances, letters from his brother Theo and appreciations by critics and artists make up the text of this handsomely packaged potpourri. For Margritte, the blind force of Van Gogh's obsessions made the tortured artist an unfree man. To Kokoschka, the tension in the painter's famous sunflowers and undulating cypresses speak of the fragility of an easygoing lifestyle in a mechanized age. Each artist seems to confront his or her own concerns when analyzing Van Gogh. Jean Renoir, Francoise Gilot, Gauguin and Klee are among the commentators. One hundred twenty-five superior color reproductions and 103 halftones remind us that Van Gogh could do a very formal Still Life with Coffeepot, a street scene ablaze with fauve-like color or the solemn, biblical Raising of Lazarus...Category
