Although not well known in his own lifetime, his influential work now appears in almost all the world's major museums. This book, replete with exquisite reproductions of more than one hundred of Atget's photographs, features selections from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's highly prized collection, including at least ten previously unpublished images and two albums in which the photographer stored his own work. Peter Barberie explores the earliest and most compelling accounts of Atget's photography and recounts the efforts undertaken by photographer Berenice Abbott and art dealer Julien Levy--each with a different perspective on Atget's work--to bring his photographs to the United States and to promote his legacy. By analyzing how Atget assembled and organized his own albums, Barberie also offers fresh insights into how the photographer may have viewed his own work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49899524161809,"sku":"CIN0300111371G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300111371.jpg?v=1750909636"},{"product_id":"long-light-book-peter-barberie-9780876332887","title":"Long Light","description":"Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, David Lebe (b. 1948) pushed the boundaries of photography, creating nuanced and visually complex images using innovative techniques. Often enhancing his prints with hand-coloring, Lebe made experimental pinhole photographs, photograms (cameraless photographs), and light drawings (pictures whose primary light source is a handheld flashlight). Many of Lebe’s photographs explore his identity as a gay man. His more meditative work from the 1990s and beyond includes diverse series dealing with the AIDS crisis and his personal struggle with the disease.     This sumptuously illustrated volume offers the first retrospective survey of this groundbreaking artist. Featuring more than 100 images by Lebe along with comparative works by other artists, the book includes an insightful essay that situates Lebe’s photographs both within the context of the Philadelphia art scene in which he was active and in relation to the practice of nationally recognized figures such as Barbara Blondeau, Ray K. Metzker, and David Wojnarowicz.     Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art  Exhibition Schedule:  Philadelphia Museum of Art  (02\/09\/19–05\/05\/19)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372423909649,"sku":"CIN0876332882G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0876332882.jpg?v=1751330403"},{"product_id":"paul-strand-book-peter-barberie-9780300207927","title":"Paul Strand","description":"A fresh account of the career of one of the most important photographers of the 20th century   Through his amazing variety of innovative images, photographer Paul Strand (1890–1976) played a crucial role in establishing the medium's significance as a modern art form. Celebrating the Philadelphia Museum of Art's recent acquisition of the core collection of Strand's prints from the Paul Strand Archive, this stunning book comprehensively reassesses the artist's career in light of current scholarship and critical debates about his work. Featuring more than 250 plates, the catalogue includes many of Strand's iconic early photos such as Wall Street and Blind Woman alongside lesser-known master prints from all phases of his career.     Discussing the artist’s prolific career, from his emergence in Alfred Stieglitz's circle in New York in the early part of the century to his years spent working abroad in places such as Mexico, France, Italy, and Africa, Peter Barberie positions Strand as a remarkably independent modernist whose priorities shifted at several points and often ran counter to prevailing trends. Amanda N. Bock focuses on the years 1930–50, when Strand thoroughly explored the role of politics in modern art and relentlessly sought to identify the greater purposes of photography and filmmaking. The edited transcript from a roundtable discussion among key scholars touches upon many aspects of Strand's various projects from the 1930s to the 1960s. A detailed chronology brings to light new information about the life and work of an extraordinarily important and influential 20th-century photographer.   Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in collaboration with Fundación MAPFRE  Exhibition Schedule:  Philadelphia Museum of Art \t(10\/21\/14–01\/04\/15)  Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland  (03\/07\/15–05\/17\/15)  Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid(06\/03\/15–08\/30\/15)  The Victoria and Albert Museum, London  (03\/19\/16–07\/03\/16)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51377092329745,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51377092362513,"sku":"GOR010033771","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53197063520529,"sku":"CIN0300207921G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300207921.jpg?v=1751133887"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-barberie.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
