Aaron Siskind(1st Edition)
An Alternate Photographic Reality
by Aaron Siskind, Charles Traub, Gilles Mora
Hardcover, 200 Pages, Published 2014 by University Of Texas Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-292-76291-6, ISBN: 0-292-76291-7

"Aaron Siskind (1903–1991) was a major figure in the history of American photography. A leading documentary photographer who was active in the New York Photo League in the 1930s, Siskind moved beyond the social realism of his early work as he increasingly came to view photography as a visual language of signs, metaphors, and symbols—the equivalent of poetry and music. Through the forties and ifties, he developed new techniques to photogr ..."

"Bernard Plossu, born in Vietnam in 1945, is one of today's best-known French photographers. His photos reflect locales he has visited all over the world: Senegal, Turkey, Poland, Mexico, Guatemala, and the American West. The photographs here were taken by Plossu in the late 1970s and are images of New Mexico--where the sun, the dust, the rain, the mud, the wind, the snow, the altitude (7,000 feet), and the smells forge a uniqueness."Ber ..."

William Gedney
Only the Lonely, 1955-1984
by Gilles Mora, Lisa Mccarty, Margaret Sartor

ISBN-13: 978-1-4773-1483-8, ISBN: 1-4773-1483-0

"Mysterious, introspective, fiercely private, and self-taught, street photographer William Gedney (1932–1989) produced impressive series of images focused on people whose lives were overlooked, hidden, or reduced to stereotypes. He was convinced that photography was a means of expression as efficient as literature, and his images were accompanied by writings, essays, excerpts from books, and aphorisms. Gedney avoided self-promotion, and ..."






The Last Photographic Heroes
American Photographers of the Sixties and Seventies
by Gilles Mora, John T. Hill
Hardcover, 200 Pages, Published 2007 by Harry N. Abrams
ISBN-13: 978-0-8109-9374-7, ISBN: 0-8109-9374-0

"The photography that Americans invented in the 1960s and ’70s was as fresh and vital as their music. Photographers of those years believed in their medium’s unlimited capacities of expression. Between the publication of Robert Frank’s The Americans (1958) and the coming of post-modernism, the photographers featured in this book embarked on their own personal quests. Whether they roamed the world, like Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand ..."

Aaron Siskind

Hardcover, 200 Pages, Published 2014 by Yale University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-300-21090-3, ISBN: 0-300-21090-6

"Aaron Siskind (1903-1991), teacher, journalist and photographer, was an artist of great originality, unprecedented in American photography. This has tended to result in his work being misinterpreted, balanced as it is between the influences of Walker Evans and Moholy Nagy. It ranges from the early documentary realism of the 1930s to the experimental and difficult abstract work of the 1950s. In this handsomely illustrated book, the autho ..."
