About This Item
Santa Monica: The Rose Gallery, , 2007. Rilegato (hardback). Ottimo (Fine). Introduzione di Kristine McKenna. Postfazione di Lorraine Wild. Fotografie in bianco e nero di Wallace Berman. 8vo. pp. 152. Ottimo (Fine). Prima edizione (First Edition). The quintessential visual artist of the Beat generation, Wallace Berman's influence has continued to radiate throughout the American art scene and in our popular culture since the 1950s. As an artist, Berman worked in relative obscurity up until his premature death, at the age of 50, in 1976. Since then, however, interest in his work, and recognition of its importance, have steadily increased. The subject of the recent--and highly lauded--traveling exhibition and accompanying catalogue, Semina Culture: Wallace Berman & His Circle, he was the central and binding figure in a diverse community of artists, poets, actors and musicians, and was revered for his wisdom as well as his achievements as an artist, publisher and filmmaker. However, until the 1999 discovery of an archive of his photographic negatives, very few people have known that Berman was also an extremely accomplished photographer. He documented the West Coast Beat culture of the 1950s, the first stirrings of the hippie culture that took root in the canyons of Southern California in the 60s and the diverse cast of characters who passed through his famously creative world with amazing intimacy and candor. Berman's photographs are gathered here for the first time ever. Artista visivo per eccellenza della generazione Beat, Wallace Berman ha influenzato tutta la scena artistica americana e la nostra cultura popolare dagli anni '50. Come artista, Berman ha lavorato in relativa oscurità fino alla sua morte prematura, all'età di 50 anni, nel 1976. Da allora, tuttavia, l'interesse per il suo lavoro e il riconoscimento della sua importanza sono costantemente aumentati. E' stato la figura centrale di una variegata comunità di artisti, poeti, attori e musicisti, ed è stato venerato per la sua saggezza e per i suoi successi come artista, editore e regista. Tuttavia, fino alla scoperta del 1999 di un archivio dei suoi negativi fotografici, pochissime persone sapevano che Berman era anche un fotografo estremamente abile. Ha documentato la cultura beat della West Coast degli anni '50, i primi passi della cultura hippie che ha messo radici nei canyon della California meridionale negli anni '60 e il variegato gruppo di personaggi che ha attraversato il suo mondo creativo con incredibile intimità e candore. Le fotografie di Berman sono raccolte qui per la prima volta.
