Descripción Hardcover. Condición: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Unpaginated. Published in 2013. Retrospective collection of portrait-photographs. The single best introduction to the photographic art and achievement of Pierre Gonnord. 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. An Import title, none of the copies was commercially sold in the United States. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Pierre Gonnord: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Pierre Gonnord. There is minimal text appended at the end. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Madrid, Spain to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Pierre Gonnord's "Portraits". Some of the greatest such portraits ever taken in our time. Each one combines Mannerist aesthetics with socially conscious imagery: The serene Perfection of Old Masters in order to capture the sublime Imperfection of marginalized and oppressed people-subjects. "Working within the great tradition of Old Master painting, Gonnord creates images as stark as they are evocative, and each one exists as a testament to the casualties - human and environmental - left behind by a rapidly developing world. Much as Francisco Goya immortalized the vagrants and vagabonds of a country ravaged by war, as Caravaggio elevated street life to the heights of historical painting, as Velazquez and Rembrandt mined the psychological depths of their subjects, so too does Gonnord explore the darkness. The photograph he takes is the only photograph they will have taken in their lives, in one monumental moment of mythic homage" (Publisher's blurb). Pierre Gonnord's work is in the Permanent Collections of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia Madrid, the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie Paris, the Centre National des Arts Plastiques Paris, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, among others. Awareness and appreciation of his work in the United States are overdue. An absolute "must-have" title for Pierre Gonnord collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online, is still in the publisher's original plastic wrappers, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: An Import title, none of the copies was commercially sold in the United States. Copies available online have serious flaws ("Very Good") yet command many hundreds to a thousand-plus dollars more because the book is rare in any condition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy.
