Japanese Cinema by Stuart Galbraith IV/Paul Duncan

About the Item

An amazing book exploring the work of the greatest Japanese filmmakers. Until recently, the Western world has viewed Japanese cinema through a very narrow prism. For years, Westerners interested in Japanese film had to content themselves with the collected works of Akira Kurosawa, a spotty sampling of films by Kenji Mizoguchi and Yasujiro Ozu, gobs of anime, and badly dubbed monster movies. Many great filmmakers like Mikio Naruse and Keisuke Kinoshita have remained unknown in the West, and Japanese musicals and comedies are hardly known outside Asia. This volume sets the record straight, illustrating an in-depth history of Japanese cinema with vivid posters and stunning photography. Published by Taschen.

Paul Strand: Photograph 1915-1945 - Nancy Newhall - 1st edition, 1945
Located in CA, CA
Published by the Museum of Modern Art, 1st edition, New York, 1945. Hardback, English text. This exhibition catalogue is the first critical monograph issued by MoMA on a photographer. It was published in conjunction with a planned series of one-man focal retrospectives to bring some of the prominent American and European photographers to the fore, and photography has since then entered the category of fine art as far as MoMA is concerned. A catalyst and legend among his peers and the photography world at large, Strand’s revelatory photography captures a subtle change of mood, a slipt-second thought; his ‘nature morta’ of a kitchen bowl...
