Photographs by Cartier-Bresson. With Introductions by Lincoln Kirstein (And) Beaumont Newhall

Photographies américaines

release date: Sep 13, 2012
Photographies américaines
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.
