Hardcover; Soft Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Text in Spanish. 2 volumes in a slipcase. 160 pp. In 1964 Richard Avedon at the time the worlds most famous fashion photographer and James Baldwin a leading literary voice in the black struggle in America collaborated on a searing portrait book Nothing Personal. This controversial classic from the heart of the American civil rights movement explores the contradictions and extremities at the heart of the American experience and is especially timely in the age of Donald Trump. Avedons subjects range from intellectuals politicians a former slave newlyweds preacher Billy Graham pop singers and civil rights activists shot in his signature formal and graphic black and white often tightly cropped. The collection is all the more poignant through its bold and deliberate juxtaposition of specific images such as Jewish gay poet /Vilen Ginsberg placed opposite the American Nazi Party. Avedons work with mental asylum patients shot in a grainy documentary style is equally harrowing although he chooses to end Nothing Personal on a hopeful positive note with images of children and parents reveling in the Californian ocean. The photographs are complemented by Baldwins four-part polemic: a critique of a society that he feels is unjust alienating divisive ancf therefore in the midst of an existential crisis. In a highly personal and pertinent testimony Baldwin openly writes about his own experience of harassment by a racist policeman on the streets of New York. Designed by Marvin Israel Nothing Personal is also an art-directed triumph from the Mad Men era. An oversized book in its own white slipcase the minimal and striking placement of images and text alike revolutionized the packaging of photography books. This is a meticulous reprint of the original which has long been out of print produced in close collaboration with the Richard Avedon Foundation. A 72-page accompanying booklet features never-before-seen outtakes contact sheets portraits of the authors at work preliminary layouts correspondence ephemera and an essay by Baldwin expert and Pulitzer Prize winner Hilton Als. Als traces the making of Nothing Personal and documents the personal and creative relationship between Avedon and Baldwin who were high school friends in the 1940s. Als also movingly reflects on how Nothing Personal impacted his own life as well as his friendship with Avedon. When published Nothing Personals dark disturbing vision of America inevitably divided critics and Avedon in particular endured harsh criticism.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Muy bueno. 1ª Edición. Avedon, Richard (1923-2004) y Baldwin, James (1924-1987). "Nada personal". Con 54 fotografías de Richard Avedon y texto de James Baldwin. Nueva York, un libro de Dell, 1964. 94 páginas. Encuadernación rústica. Primera Edición. El tiempo, la vejez y sus tensiones, resultan ser el motivo fundamental en la obra de Avedon. Vemos en su arte cómo nos habla directamente del paso del tiempo y su influencia en el ser humano, y, cómo no, del camino hacia la muerte. Son esos retratos descontextualizados que aparecen ante la cámara sin maquillaje, fatigados o tristes, tal y como se encuentran en ese momento, los que claramente denotan esta inquietud. Su método era sencillo pero efectivo, la derrota anímica del contrario fotografiado a través de largas y cansadas sesiones de hasta cuatro horas. Así el retratado, desnudo e indefenso era capaz de mostrar su personalidad más sincera. (código 4231).
