Mrinal Sen [Recipient of Dadasaheb Phalke Award]. Always being born. A memoir. Stellar. New Dehli 2006. XVI, 310 S. nebst zwei Tafelteilen auf Kunstdruckpapier (jeweils 8 Blätter) mit zahlreichen schwarzweißen Photoabbildungen und Illustrationen / together with two plates on art paper (8 sheets each) with numerous black and white photographs and illustrations. Original-Hardcover mit Rückentitel nebst illustriertem Original-Schutzumschlag mit Rücken- und Deckeltitel sowie Innen- und Rückentext / Original hardcover with spine title together with illustrated original dust jacket with spine and cover title as well as inside and spine text. Zustand: Von sehr guter Erhaltung. Wie ungelesen. Keine Remittende / Condition: In very good condition. As if unread. No reissue. - An outspoken memoir by a much-celebrated Indian filmmaker. ?I am a filmmaker by accident and an author by compulsion,? claims Mrinal Sen, who became part of the great triumvirate of Bengali cinema?along with Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak?in the 1950s and ?60s when he founded the rebellious Indian New Wave. Throughout his career, he kept that fire of protest burning, his acute political awareness and left-wing orientation spurring his creativity. Over decades, the themes that pervaded his cinema mirrored the spectrum of human suffering and experience, and in turn crystallized the anger of a restive mind against social injustice, economic deprivation, and communal divide. In this memoir, a celebrated ambassador of Indian cinema on the global stage, for whom cinema became a lexicon that gave voice to the times, reflects on encounters with the legends of the world of images as well as his inspirations and obsessions?not least among them, the city of Calcutta. Always Being Born is a fascinating memoir of a great artist and a buoyant social commentator who continued to confront, fight, and survive on the very challenges that propelled him to look beyond and dream.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 204 pages. Published in 2004. Retrospective collection of essays on music. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents John Luther Adams' "Winter Music: Composing The North". Reflections from Fairbanks, Alaska, where Adams lives and creates a unique musical world grounded in the elemental landscapes and indigenous cultures of the North. "Poetic and inspirational, delves into the environmental and cultural awareness that creates his reflective, almost spiritual, approach to music. The accompanying Audio CD includes two previously unrecorded works. Adams' music explores natural phenomena, from the songs of birds to the complex nature of chaos, fractal geometry, and elemental noise. Explores 'that region between place and culture, between environment and imagination', reflecting a philosophy of deep awareness that makes him one of the most original composers working today" (Publisher's blurb). "He sees art as invigorating, resonant, relevant. And, a welcome surprise, civic" (Barry Lopez). An absolute "must-have" title for John Luther Adams collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the composer/author: "For Susan Berresford, with gratitude and warm wishes, John Luther Adams 11.VI.11". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Susan Vail Berresford, who is named, was the President of the Ford Foundation from 1996-2007, supporting, among other worthy causes, Adams and his music. This title is a great book. This is the only such signed, dated, and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Grammy Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2014 for "Become Ocean". One of the greatest composers of our time. A fine copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 132 pages. Published in 2002. Retrospective collection of photographs on subject. One of Art Shay's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Art Shay: Oversize-volume format. Hard boards with titles printed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Art Shay. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents "Animals: Photographs by Art Shay". The photographer's complete suite of animal photographs. They are, inevitably, reminiscent of Garry Winogrand's "The Animals" in their cheerful and casual yet perceptive approach, and marked by Art Shay's warmth and humanity. "Few can dispute that animals are among the most sublime wonders of the world we inhabit. These photographs bridge some of the differences by surveying the landscapes that humans and animals share: African jungles, Ohio waterways, the wild streets of New York City and Chicago, circuses, carnivals, zoos from California to Florida, and the sky that arches over all life. Culled from five decades' worth of the acclaimed photographer's illustrious body of work, these pictures lovingly and often acerbically capture miraculous moments of creatures great and small, wild and domestic. Artful and moving, they run the gamut of emotions from pity and compassion to laughter and joy. The Ark-like juxtaposition and pairing of images catch the interaction between humans and animals: How we imitate them and they, in turn, us. By turns compassionate, ironic, and capricious, this masterful collection affirms our abiding fascination with the animal world. A treasure" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Art Shay collectors. This copy is very prominently, beautifully and uniquely signed, dated (on the day of publication), and inscribed in black pen on the front free endpaper by the photographer: "For Paul, A fine artist, a great student of photographers & best of all, a friend. With love & thanks, Art Shay, May 23, 02". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Paul Berlanga, who is named, is one of Chicago's finest artists and photography experts, and is acknowledged as such by the photographer. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, inscribed, and publication-day dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the finest American photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ART SHAY AND LEE BALTERMAN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0252027426.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 400 pages. Published in 1984. Massive Biography-Cum-Monograph. The single most important book on the photographic art of Horst. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Horst and Susan Eisenman: Oversize-volume format. Gray cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Horst. Text by Valentine Lawford. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents "Horst: His Work And His World". Which are, in his case, inseparable and mutually beneficial. Here are the photographer's finest and most representative work over a lifetime of indefatigable work, immense success, and international fame, as told by his close friend, the eminent writer Valentine Lawford. The most brilliant disciple of Hoyningen-Huene, himself the single most important and influential lifestyle and fashion photographer of the 20th century, Horst quickly became world-famous as the man who created, refined, and perfected the Vogue Look. Horst was a restless photographer who tried his hand at everything: Fashion, still life, male and female nudes, portrait, travel, lifestyle, even landscape and architecture. Among the portraits he took, the list is staggering, and owes in part to the fact that he was himself a very handsome man of the world: Coco Chanel, Lisa Fonssagrives, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Ginger Rogers, Luchino Visconti, Barbara Hutton, Noel Coward, Henri Cartier-Bresson (a rare and lovely portrait of the reclusive photographer), Salvador Dali, Gertrude Stein, Jose Clemente Orozco, Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Princess Lee Radziwill (a stunning duo portrait of the legendary sisters), Paloma Picasso, Brooke Shields, Robert Wilson, Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe, Duran Duran, Bianca Jagger, Andy Warhol, Diana Vreeland, Bruce Weber, Karl Lagerfeld, Calvin Klein, and Yves Saint Laurent, among others: A remarkable confluence of the leading figures in the arts, literature, fashion, photography, high society, and celebrity culture. Horst had few rivals among great photographers of the nude, and he is believed to have taken the only full-frontal nude of Steve McQueen, the Hollywood sex symbol/star, that the latter (and now his estate) have never allowed to be published. An absolute "must-have" title for Horst collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by the photographer and author: "For Anthony Buonfiglio, Horst Valentine Lawford 1988". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient is an accomplished photographer in his own right. Horst and Lawford signed an unspecified number of presentation copies (such as this) to recipients they knew personally. This title is a great photography book. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and despite its imperfection (price-clipped and slight wear on DJ) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. The boards are sharp, no bumping at all. It is priced accordingly. Please note: Copies available online command as much as $550. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 229 plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HORST TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0394521714. Signed by Author.…
