About the Item
Published by Hallmark Cards, Inc., 1st edition, 1993. Hardback with English text.
Van Vechten turned to photography in 1932 at the age of fifty-one. In his thirty years of photo-taking, he accumulated a distinctive body of work which bears his personal mark. This book is profusely illustrated with black-and-white finely reproduced photographs, which mainly consist of portraitures. Van Vechten often times knows his sitters personally and chooses specific props to highlight an aspect of their personalities, on other occasions, he used simple draping fabrics or a small corner of a room to give the sitter’s posture and gaze room for expression. Through Van Vechten’s lens, we gain fresh insights into the personal and cultural vitality of his time and surroundings.

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...
