In choosing colour over black and white and producing large-format prints, she broke the tradition of established fine-art photography at the time. Her unstintingly honest portrayal of her subjects, many of whom are family and friends, remains completely original. Straddling the line between candid and choreographed photography, between engagement and detachment, she captures her subjects in a range of rarefied settings, both private and public. Her iconic tableaux suggest rich narratives or, as she has written, the synchronization of psychological, emotional, and sociological plots that bind a family together.  Long awaited, this lavish survey is the most definitive book to date on Barney s work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730530017553,"sku":"NGR9780847860364","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50256523460881,"sku":"CIN0847860361VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50369489895697,"sku":"CIN0847860361G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847860361.jpg?v=1751107351"},{"product_id":"tina-barney-family-ties-book-tina-barney-9781597115889","title":"Tina Barney: Family Ties","description":"Tina Barney's keenly observed portraits offer a window into a rarified world of privilege with sixty large-format works imbued with a spontaneity and intimacy that remind us of what we hold in common.  In the late 1970s, Tina Barney began a decades-long exploration of the everyday but often hidden life of the New England upper class, of which she and her family belonged. Photographing close relatives and friends, she became an astute observer of the rituals common to the intergenerational summer gatherings held in picturesque homes along the East Coast. Developing her portraiture further in the 1980s, she began directing her subjects, giving an intimate scale to her large-format photographs. These personal, often surreal, scenes present a secret world of the haute bourgeoisie-a landscape of hidden tension found in microexpressions and in, what Barney calls, the subtle gestures of \"disruption\" that belie the dreamlike worlds of patrician tableaux.  Family Ties collects sixty large-format portraits from the three decades that defined Barney's career-accompanying the first retrospective exhibition of the artist in Europe at the Jeu de Paume, Paris. The book includes an essay by Quentin Bajac, the exhibition's commissioner and director, as well as an interview with the artist by Sarah Meister, the executive director of Aperture, and a text by the artist James Welling. These texts illuminate the artist's approach to large-format photography, her ongoing interest in the rituals of families, and her personal ideas of composition, color, and the complex relationship between photography and painting.  Tina Barney: Family Ties is copublished by Aperture and Atelier EXB.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50685562945809,"sku":"NGR9781597115889","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038697685265,"sku":"NIN9781597115889","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51775323308305,"sku":"GOR014398373","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52592014950673,"sku":"NLS9781597115889","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1597115886.jpg?v=1751437518"},{"product_id":"tina-barney-the-beginning-book-tina-barney-9781955161138","title":"Tina Barney: The Beginning","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-lost images of family and friends from the late 1970s by the acclaimed portraitist and chronicler of domesticity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the course of her 40-year career, acclaimed American photographer Tina Barney has illuminated the inner lives of her subjects, observing the generational repetition of familial traditions and rituals as played out in domestic settings. In the summer of 2020, at the height of Covid and quarantine restrictions, Barney began to sort through her archive, which contained thousands of 35mm negatives taken between 1976 and 1980.

Celebrated for her large-format tableaux of affluent families in the United States and Europe, Tina Barney is a keen observer of style and its coded web of meanings. This book is the first to trace the role of sartorial expression across Barney’s long career, including a significant body of inventive editorial work made on assignment for leading magazines.    Part memoir, part career survey, the book begins with Barney’s family history and photographic albums. Her mother, a glamorous in-demand model in the 1940s, graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar and was photographed by leading fashion photographers of the era, including Horst P. Horst and George Hoyningen-Huene. Growing up around glamour and artifice shaped Barney’s vision and understanding of images. This formative experience is made evident through an extensive plates section showcasing Barney’s sumptuous photographs for fashion and lifestyle publications, including Muse, Nest, and Arena Homme +, and for major fashion houses Gucci and Bottega Veneta. Brief texts by Barney guide the reader through her artistic development, offering lively personal anecdotes and bringing readers behind the scenes of pictures made in stately living rooms or on set for the pages of Vogue.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53648795304209,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53648795894033,"sku":"NGR9781597116060","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781597116060.jpg?v=1781130766"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-tina-barney.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
