Download or read book Waldman on Dance written by Max Waldman and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1977 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Waldman is one of the premier photographers of dance and theater today. Clives Barnes, in his Introduction to this book, confirms that "the incomparable Max is America's great theatrical photographer, and one of the handful of photographers who demonstrate the full range and possibility of the camera." In any discussion of Max Waldman, his name is perpetually linked with the giants of art photography: Cameron, Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï, Weston, Brandt, Avedon...and Waldman. In this superb collection, Mr. Waldman puts the textured, gauzy style which has become his signature to exquisite use in celebration of American dance. "Dance is the art of movement through time. The most fugitive and fragile of arts, it disappears like mist on a windowpane," says Barnes. Capturing the fluidity and life of this moving art form on still film is incredibly demanding, if not impossible. But Waldman not only meets this challenge, he surpasses it by creating his own work of art while recording yet another. Working in a tiny studio, Max has managed to catch the great figures from the worlds of ballet and modern dance - Baryshnikov, Makarova, Farrell, Martins, Cunningham, Jamison, Nagy, and others - at that precious moment that seems to suggest both what precedes and what will follow. These are portraits not of static poses but of movement; the pictures, the artists - the dances - come alive. Max Waldman is, without question, an artist of tremendous style, forcefulness, and electricity. But as Clive Barnes concludes, "The pictures that follow need no words. They are a constant evocation of the harmonic elements of dance, and a constant reminder of what dance is all about - the fleeting images of remembered passion." -- from dust jacket.

Download or read book Silver Screen Silver Prints written by Anne H. Hoy and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before a hopeful actor was given a screen test, their portraits were taken to determine the camera appeal of new faces. Silver Screen Silver Prints showcases Hollywood's invention of the glamour portrait, representing the distinctive styles of such photographers as George Hurrell, Clarence Sinclair Bull, and Ruth Harriet Louise and charting the evolution from soft-focus Pictorialism to sculptured modernist glamor. Thematic sections focus on Hollywood fashion as promoted by photography and on the development of the discernible Paramount Studios house style. Photographs of iconic actors, including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Ramon Novarro, show how the portrait camera lens shaped their most enduring images. Elizabeth Taylor, the last great star of the Hollywood studio system, who used photography strategically to guide an upward trajectory from her early days as a child actress to her long reign as an international superstar, is featured. Taken together, the photographs in this catalogue, published in connection with the 2011 Grolier Club exhibition, demonstrate the centrality of studio portraits to the film industry's star-making apparatus, especially in the two decades before the Second World War.
