Abbott, Berenice: Berenice Abbott. Aperture Masters of Photography. Number Nine. With an Essay by Julia Van Haaven. New York, NY : Aperture, 1988. ISBN: 0893813281
Einband leicht berieben.Sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Berenice Abbott has said of photography, "If it is to be utterly honest and direct, it should be related to the pulse of the times-the pulse of today." In pioneering scientific images and photographs of the fast-changing landscape, Abbott captured the tempo of her times in work of enduring significance. While living in Paris during the 1920s, Abbott began working as a darkroom assistant in Man Ray's portrait business. Soon she was independent and was able to establish her own studio. Her portraits of well-known Parisian figures were critically acclaimed. Returning from France in 1929, Abbott began her study of New York's rapidly changing architectural profile. She felt it was urgent that it be preserved at least photographically. She began her famed Changing New York series, which shows the heart of old New York, documents midtown Manhattan springing up, and memorializes landmarks such as the George Washington Bridge and Trinity Church. Between the late 1940s and the early 1960s, Abbott completed an extraordinary body of work depicting complex scientific phenomena. In uniquely informative and elegant photographs, many of which were only possible after inventing new equipment necessary to make the pictures, she shared the phenomena of science in a way understandable to everyone. During the 1950s, Abbott made a group of photographs while traveling along Route 1 through the rural areas from Florida to Maine, where she later settled. As her last project, Abbott portrayed the native people of Maine, from a kindred point of view, without pretense. ISBN 0893813281 - , ISBN-13: 9780893813284
