Iberian Rail
ISBN: 9781425721121 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the second part of a survey of Iberian railways and tramways in 1963, when the author and his friend Larry Veysey and I made a long circular tour of the Peninsula. In 1963 the traditional tramways were large and busy, though already in the sights of modernizing bureaucrats. The broad-gauge national RENFE and most independent railways were still largely powered by steam; many passengers rode in wood-bodied coaches. Much of the railway scene was comparable to that of North America around 1910. Volume I covered the railways and tramways of Catalonia. Here we make a loop south along the...

Leisure
ISBN: 9781850749868 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The wonderfully evocative and poignant photographs in this book show our forebears at their leisure. The introduction of shorter working hours and bank holidays in the late Victorian era meant that for the first time many working people had time on their hands, away from the grind of daily life. In 1938 the Holidays with Pay act created the first statutory right to paid holidays and led to the growth of what we now know as the leisure industries. This book shows how people, often in their thousands and tens of thousands, made the most of their new found freedom. It includes unique archive...

Portraits of African Writers
ISBN: 9781868143863 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "While printing these photographs of African writers U dating from the late sixties, through my years in exile and right up to the present U for this publication, I realized that I was retracing a journey that originated in the fishing village of Hout Bay, where I grew up in the fifties. My high school English teacher was Richard Rive, and he brought drama into the classroom. Walking around, constantly clutching a paperback by some renowned writer from Russia, Europe, the States and South Africa, he seemed so cool and with it....This is not a catalogue of writers; rather a shared journey...

Josef Sudek: Portraits
ISBN: 9788072153190 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the Czech photographer Josef Sudek was mildly reclusive by temperament, and although his photography is commonly characterized as unpeopled (in favor of what he termed -the inanimate life of objects-), a sizable portion of his oeuvre is given over to portraits. In fact, the beginnings of Sudek's work are in portraiture, in his images of fellow patients at the veteran's hospital where he spent three years after the First World War. (It was here that Sudek's right arm was amputated after a battlefield injury, a misfortune which did not prevent him from using heavy, large-format cameras...

Making a vital contribution to the understanding of Latin American modernism, Esther Gabara rethinks the role of photography in the Brazilian and Mexican avant-garde movements of the 1920s and 1930s.

The Disciplinary Frame: Photographic Truths and the Capture of Meaning
ISBN: 9780816642885 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Photography can seem to capture reality and the eye like no other medium, commanding belief and wielding the power of proof. In some cases, a photograph itself is attributed the force of the real. How can a piece of chemically discolored paper have such potency? How does the meaning of a photograph become fixed? In The Disciplinary Frame, John Tagg claims that, to answer these questions, we must look at the ways in which all that frames photography--the discourse that surrounds it and the institutions that circulate it-- determines what counts as truth. The meaning and power of...

Che's Afterlife: The Legacy of an Image
ISBN: 9780307279309 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1960, Cuban photographer Alberto Korda captured fabled revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara in what has become history's most reproduced photo. Here Michael Casey tells the remarkable story of this image, detailing its evolution from a casual snapshot to an omnipresent graphic plastered on everything from T-shirts to vodka to condoms and into a copyrighted brand. As Casey follows it across the Americas and through cyberspace, he finds governments exploiting it and their dissenters attacking it, merchants selling it and tourists buying it. We see how this image is, ultimately, a mercurial... In 1960, Cuban photographer Alberto Korda captured fabled revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara in what has become history's most reproduced photo.

ISBN: 9780300149302 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essays in More than One examine sequentiality and serialism in the practice of photography from the medium's earliest years to the present.

Fully illustrated essays discuss, among other topics, the little-known volume Beyond This Point (1929), a collaborative experiment by American photographer Francis Bruguiere and London radio producer Lance Sieveking; the evolving relationship...
