Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Condition: New. Often compared with Walker Evans, Peter Sekaer's photographs contained a similar tension between the documentary and personal urges. Though often exhibited duing his lifetime, it is only with this publication, and the touring show from which it is drawn, that his brilliant… depression era images are being seen again.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 198 pages; Physical description: 198, [1] p. : chiefly ill. (some col. ) ; 28 cm. Catalog of an exhibition held…at High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, June 5, 2010-Jan. 9, 2011. Peter Sekaer (1901-50) emerged as an artist in the company of Ben Shahn, Berenice Abbott, and Walker Evans. This book intends to show how he stepped from their benign shadows to build his own distinctive style. It is the first monograph to show the full range of his accomplishments. Sekaer's early work combines dispassionate images with others that show his concern and intuitive grasp of the human condition. Many of his most memorable photographs were made while fulfilling mundane assignments for various government agencies. Sekaer had none of the reformer's passion found in the works of Jacob Riis or Lewis Hine. His stance was more that of the artist/anthropologist, who delighted in recording the artifacts and gestures that defined American society in the 1930s.

As published in Portfolio One , edited by Caresse Crosby. .Peter Sekaer (1901-1950) was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and immigrated to the United States in 1918. After successfully operating a printing business in New York City producing posters, advertisements and window displays, he enr…olled in the Art Students League in 1929 to study painting. He soon became involved in the New York art scene, befriending, among others, the artist Ben Shahn and the photographer Walker Evans. By 1934 Sekaer had left painting behind to study photography with Berenice Abbott at the New School for Social Research. Through his friendship with Walker Evans he secured contracts from 1936 to 1943 to work on assignment as a photographer for various government agencies that were created as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program. In 1945 Sekaer started his own commercial photography business, shooting advertisements and human interest stories for magazines. In 1950, at age forty-nine, Sekaer suffered a fatal heart attack. His life's work has been preserved by his wife, Elisabeth Sekaer Rothschild, and their younger daughter, Christina Sekaer.
