Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. 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 his underrepresented work was largely unknown during his short lifetime. He died at the age of fifty-six from AIDS. William Gedney: Only the Lonely, 1955?1984 is the first comprehensive retrospective of his photography. It presents images from all of his major series, including eastern Kentucky, where Gedney lived with and photographed the family of laid-off coal miner Willie Cornett; San Francisco and Haight-Ashbury, where he attached himself to a group of disaffected youth, photographing them as they drifted from one vacant apartment to the next during the Summer of Love; early photo-reportage of gay pride parades in the eighties; Benares, India, Gedney?s first trip abroad, during which he obsessively chronicled the concurrent difficulty and beauty of daily life; and night scenes that, in the absence of people and movement, evoke a profound universal loneliness. The most complete overview of Gedney?s work to date, this volume reveals the undeniable beauty of a major American photographer.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Transcendental Concord documents the spirit of Transcendentalism, the literary and philosophical movement that arose in the mid-19th century. While the circle of Transcendentalists in New England was wide, at its center was a core group that lived in Concord, Massachusetts. Bronson Alcott and daughter Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau lived within a few miles of each other for nearly 20 years, regularly meeting in each others homes and on the paths of Walden Woods to discuss their writings and beliefs. These five Concordians have inspired generations of artists and radicals to live deliberately. Through this project, which involved equal parts photographing, walking and reading, North Carolinabased photographer Lisa McCarty pays homage to the Transcendental movement and its ideals by making images that bear witness to its philosophy through the landscape that nourished it.

Hardcover. A clothbound book with the title in dark gray down a muted green spine. When open the spine lays flat and the leaves remain bound in a strip of white cloth. Pages: (6), 7-129, (1). Profusely illustrated with color images. "Transcendental Concord documents the spirit of Transcendentalism, the literary, social, and philosophical movement that arose in the mid-19th century. While the circle of Transcendentalists in New England was wide, at its center was a core group that lived in Concord, Massachusetts. Bronson Alcott and daughter Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau lived within a few miles of each other for nearly 20 years, regularly meeting in each other's homes and on the paths of Walden Woods to discuss their writings and beliefs. In the course of a year and in every season North-Carolina based photographer Lisa McCarty photographed the sites where these Transcendentalists lived and wrote in Concord. McCarty's parallel reverence for the natural world is evident in her photographs which point to large and small variations in environment, season and light. McCarty uses long exposures and camera movement in order to capture these variations. Transcendental Concord pays homage to Transcendentalism not only in capturing a shared landscape, but in McCarty's technique: her keen observation of natural phenomena and openness to experimentation and chance."

Works cited ; Finding what's there to see / Kirsten Rian ; Close reading / Lisa McCarty. VG: Exlibary book in excellent condition. Two stickers on the back pasted end page. …

Hardback. Condition: New. A year before 1967's famed Summer of Love, documentary photographer William Gedney set out for San Francisco on a Guggenheim Fellowship to record "aspects of our culture which I believe significant and which I hope will become, in time, part of the visual record of American history." A Time of Youth brings together eighty-seven of the more than two thousand photographs Gedney took in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood between October 1966 and January 1967. In these photographs Gedney documents the restless and intertwined lives of the disenchanted youth who flocked to what became the epicenter of 1960s counterculture. Gedney lived among these young people in their communal homes, where he captured the intimate and varied contours of everyday life: solitude and companionship, joyous celebration and somber quiet, cramped rooms and spacious parks, recreation and contemplation. In these images Gedney presents a portrait of a San Francisco counterculture that complicates popular depictions of late 1960s youth as carefree flower children. The book also includes facsimiles of handwritten descriptions of the scenes Gedney photographed, his thoughts on organizing the book, and other ephemera.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A year before the summer of love, William Gedney reached San Francisco while on a Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph, "aspects of our culture which I believe significant and which I hope will become, in time, part of the record of American history." The photos in A Time of Youth, taken between October 1966 and January 1967, document the restlessness and intertwined lives of disenfranchised youth that had migrated from all over the country to what would become the very epicenter of the 1960s counterculture. While Gedney's images have been exhibited and celebrated in recent years, to date, few people have seen Gedney's books. In addition to the thousands of images and prints Gedney made throughout his career, between 1967 and 1982 he conceived, designed, and constructed seven unique photobooks. A Time of Youth is the first of the seven designs to be published. Additions to Gedney's design include essays by Lisa McCarty and Philip Gefter which provide historical context and illuminate Gedney's process. 158 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. First edition, first printing. Illustrated boards, unclipped dust jacket. Slight shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request.
