New Releases by Lincoln Kirstein

Walker Evans, plus que n'importe quel autre artiste, a inventé les images d'une Amérique essentielle que nous acceptons depuis longtemps comme une réalité. American Photographs, publié pour la première fois en 1935 par le Museum of Modern Art de New York, est l'expression la plus pure et la plus complète de la vision neutre et impassible de ce grand photographe. Les quatre-vingt-sept photographies reproduites dans ces pages sont aujourd'hui aussi essentielles et pertinentes que jamais, et l'essai de Lincoln Kirstein en est l'éloquent contrepoint. American Photographs a été une référence fondamentale pour les photographes et pour quiconque cherchait à comprendre le potentiel lyrique de ce médium, mais toutes les éditions de l'ouvrage ont été rapidement épuisées. L'édition du 75e anniversaire, avec ses somptueuses planches en bichromie associées à la sobriété élégante de la typographie et de la mise en page d'origine, fait revivre ce livre phare d'Evans. Pour la première fois, les technologies numériques ont permis de reproduire au plus près les cadrages et le délicat équilibre des planches de 1938 et de recréer ainsi l'impression visuelle et tactile de la première édition.

"More than any other artist, Walker Evans invented the images of an essential America that we have long accepted as fact, American Photographs, first published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1938, is the purest and most complete expression of his cool, unblinking vision. the eighty-seven photographs reproduced on its pages are as relevant and essential as ever, with Lincoln Kirstein's essay as their eloquent foil. American Photographs has been a key touch-stone for photographers and those who seek to understand the lyric potential of the medium, but it has often been out of print. This Seventy-Fifth-Anniversary Edition, with sumptuous duotone plates complementing the elegant restraint of the original typography and design, makes Evans's landmark book available again. For the first time, digital technologies aid in emulating the precise cropping and finely tuned balance of the 1938 reproductions, capturing as never before the look and feel of the first edition."--cover jacket.
