Die Perfekte Kindheit - Larry Clark - 1st Edition, Scalo, 1993

About the Item

First edition, published by Scalo Verlag, 1993. As a living icon of American film, director, photographer, writer and film producer Larry Clark is known for his controversial works, including the photography monographs Tulsa (1971), Teenaged Lust (1983), and his film debut, Kids (1995). Sometimes dismissed as obscene, he is a genuine auteur, focusing on the experiences of 'American Youth' through explorations of gender, sex, drugs, violence and subculture with a style whose influence has been felt ever since. 'Die perfekte Kindheit' is a thought provoking insight into male adolescent sexuality and deviancy, collating images of the nude male, often graphic, with that of mainstream media; making 1980s teen idols such as Corey Haim compete for space with rural teen satanists, whilst faded newspaper clippings report on teenage villains, set against scenes of fellatio. Deconstructing American masculinity, youth and the concept of the 'All American Boy', 'Die perfekte Kindheit' is a rare and important insight into Larry Clark and the genre he has mastered. Hardback in publisher's original dust jacket, unpaginated and illustrated copiously in colour and black and white throughout. Very scarce.

  • Van Gogh a Retrospective 1986 1st Edition
    By Vincent van Gogh
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    Van 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...
