Buch
Schriften zur Photographie. Hrsg. und mit einem Nachwort von Inge-Cathrin Hauswald und Bernd Stiegler. Aus dem Englischen von Laura Su Bischoff. Alvin Langdon Coburn ist eine der Schlüsselfiguren der amerikanischen Photo-Secession und der Kunstphotographie um 1900. Sein Werk reicht von Beiträgen zur legendären Zeitschrift 'Camera Work', über großangelegte Portraitserien der wichtigsten Künstler seiner Zeit und Illustrationen u.a. von Werken Henry James', Maurice Maeterlinck und H. G. Wells bis hin zu Experimenten mit abstrakter Photographie im Umkreis von Ezra Pound. Damit spannt er den Bogen vom Symbolismus bis zur Avantgarde. Coburn hat neben seinen Photographien zahlreiche Essays und auch eine umfangreiche Autobiographie veröffentlicht, die zu den Klassikern der Photographiegeschichte zählen und die Wege der Photographie in die Moderne nachzeichnen. Der Band macht diese Texte erstmals vollzählig und in deutscher Übersetzung zugänglich. Die Edition enthält neben zahlreichen berühmten Photographien Coburns weiterhin eine Fülle an zum Teil kaum bekannten Dokumenten und Aufnahmen. 379 Seiten mit 160 Abb., broschiert (photogramme/Wilhelm Fink Verlag 2015) leichte Lagerspuren.

Zustand: Wie neu. Fundación Mapfre, Madrid. 2014. First spanish edition, first printing. Mint, new, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher`s plastic foil. Hardcover in half linen (as issued). 230 x 258 mm. 296 pages. Text in spanish. Perfect condition! Collector`s copy! "A key American Pictorialist and a crucial innovator in abstract photography, Alvin Langdon Coburn is a fascinating but often neglected figure in the history of American modernism. As early as 1909, Coburn was making futuristic depictions of New York and Pittsburgh, anticipating modernist architectural photography`s classic "bird`s-eye" view. In 1912, in New York, working with the Cubist artist-poet Max Weber, he developed this idiom a step further, photographing New York from the pinnacles of skyscrapers. The following year he published Men of Mark, which featured portraits of authors, artists and statesmen, including Henri Matisse, Henry James, Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. In 1914 Coburn relocated to London, participating in the British Vorticist movement, led by Wyndham Lewis and Ezra Pound; Coburn`s series of multiple exposures and "Vortographs" were the first truly abstract photographs. So why is Coburn not better known today? After 1920 he deliberately withdrew from the photo world (though he never gave up photography) and retired to rural Wales, where he immersed himself in painting, music composition and Freemasonry. In the 1950s he was rediscovered and championed by Beaumont and Nancy Newhall of George Eastman House, to which he bequeathed almost 20,000 prints and negatives along with cameras, correspondence and ephemera. This beautiful volume, published to accompany a show at George Eastman House and drawing on a wide range of public and private collections, reveals his work and legacy for a new generation."

Tipped on to a much larger mount than that published in "Men of Mark". Coburn's first book of portraits "Men of Mark" was published in 1911 (it was followed some years later by More Men of Mark) features 33 portraits of artists, thinkers and writers such as George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Henry James, Auguste Rodin, Henri Matisse, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Frank Brangwyn, William Butler Yeats, Robert Bridges etc. Coburn's introductory text provides a running commentary on his pursuit of his subjects and their eventual capture on film. 'To make satisfactory photographs of persons it is necessary for me to like them, to admire them, or at least to be interested in them. It is rather curious and difficult to exactly explain, but if I dislike my subject it is sure to come out in the resulting portrait. I had thought of using 'Men of Genius' as the title for this book, but Arnold Bennett objected seriously, saying, very modestly, that he did not consider himself a man of genius, but merely a working author, and absolutely refusing to join the throng unless I changed it, so I told him that if he would give me a better one I would use it.
