ALEXANDER GIRARD

L’ETOILE 1966 At select moments in Alexander Girard’s career, he strayed from his well-known colorful style. In 1966, a year after his pop color makeover of Braniff International, he designed the New York City restaurant L’Etoile. A masterfully delicate accomplishment L’Etoile (Star) surprised those who had only noticed Girard’s color propensity in previous years. But in L’Etoile’s perfect lines, its well-proportioned spaces and glittering chandeliers refracting light onto mirrors, Girard’s style was in strong evidence. Knowing that critics would compare his two New York restaurant designs, Girard said of L’Etoile, “It will be a total antithesis of La Fonda.” But like La Fonda, he put his hand to every detail: he designed beautiful and numerous tables, chairs, menus, signs, matchbooks, mirrors, lights, upholsteries, carpets. He also designed an elegant font with superb physique.

ALEXANDER GIRARD Popular Edition by Todd Oldham & Kiera Coffee Hardcover | 11.5 x 8.5 inches | 672 pages ISBN: 9781623260729 | USD 60.00 | GBP 39.99 AUGUST 2015
Renowned designer Todd Oldham and writer Kiera Coffee have created this massive monograph on seminal designer Alexander Girard as the ultimate tribute to this design icon. This 672-page book covers virtually every aspect of Girard’s distinctive career. As one of the most prolific and versatile mid-twentieth-century designers, Girard’s work spanned many disciplines, including textile design, graphic design, typography, illustration, furniture design, interior design, product design, exhibit design, and architecture. Exhaustively researched and lovingly assembled by designer Todd Oldham, this tome is the definitive must-have book on Girard’s oeuvre. Girard’s repertoire includes an incredible list of projects, including his bold, colorful, and iconic textile designs for Herman Miller (1952-1975), his typographic designs for La Fonda del Sol restaurant (1960), his celebrated retail store Textiles and Objects (1961), his own Girard Foundation (1962) that houses his extensive, personal collection of folk art from around the world, and his complete branding and environmental design for Braniff International Airways (1965). Girard’s work continues to inspire new generations of designers and admirers, and this beautiful book is the ultimate tribute to his legacy.
“GIRARD’S PLAYFUL PATTERNS AND BRIGHT COLORS WERE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN POST-WAR AMERICA.” Herman Miller
“Somewhere along the line that person had something to say which is not communicable except through a medium such as folk art. And that’s what makes it difficult to explain, because there is no standard. Of course, I think that’s what makes it interesting, because you can never pigeonhole folk art as you can established forms of fine art which have already been so pigeonholed that you spend all of your time tracing the influences on it rather than considering the work itself.”

After nearly 10 years of GONZO successfully delighting readers worldwide, AMMO Books is proud to present an affordably priced softcover edition, featuring the same compelling content as each beloved edition before. GONZO was AMMO Books’ debut release, which was met with great press and extraordinary reviews. This book was a labor of love that was created during a period of several years by AMMO Books publisher Steve Crist with Hunter S. Thompson’s full cooperation prior to his untimely death. In fact, it was the desire to see this project through in a way that did justice to Hunter’s legacy that ultimately started our publishing house. GONZO presents a rare look into the life of this literary legend, whose groundbreaking style of “gonzo” journalism made him one of the greatest writers of his generation. Now, for the first time, his photographs and archives have been collected into a visual biography worthy of his literary legacy. With a heartfelt introduction by Thompson’s close friend Johnny Depp, GONZO captures a man whose life was as legendary as his writing. This impressive title features hundreds of personal photographs—many never-before-published and taken by Thompson himself. Accompanied by writing and memorabilia, this visual history gives insight into the literary icon’s life. GONZO chronicles Thompson's numerous adventures, including his early days as a foreign correspondent in Puerto Rico, his life in Big Sur in the sixties, his time on the road with the Hell’s Angels, his seminal Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his campaign for sheriff of Pitkin County in 1970, and many personal moments with friends and family throughout the years.

WAYNE WHITE MAYBE NOW I’LL GET THE RESPECT I SO RICHLY DESERVE by Todd Oldham Mini Edition Hardcover | 6.125 x 8.5 inches | 384 pages ISBN: 9781623260415 | USD 29.95 | GBP 19.99 DECEMBER 2015
Design guru and art collector Todd Oldham shines the spotlight on the clever and warped world of artist Wayne White. From Wayne’s early days as a production designer and puppet maker for the iconic TV show Pee-wee’s Playhouse to his unmistakable and exquisitely rendered text paintings, this monograph is a comprehensive view of Wayne White’s oeuvre. Wayne is a unique wordsmith, brilliantly juxtaposing irreverent and humorous phrases over existing thrift store paintings that together create a completely original and fictional landscape. Influenced by both his upbringing in rural Tennessee and a very sophisticated knowledge of art history, Wayne White’s sensibility is completely singular and distinctive. Wayne White’s warped and perspectival words integrate into seemingly benign pastoral landscapes, creating a completely surreal experience. Wayne’s expert painting chops and detailed attention to lighting and reflection place the “new” text directly in its “original” setting. Text paintings such as “Donald Judd was a Son of a Bitch Wrecked His Train in a Whorehouse Ditch,” “Poon,” and “Maybe Now I’ll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve” are a welcome departure from the more-often-than-not self-aggrandizing art world. In fact, we think this sumptuous monograph is FANFUCKINTASTIC!

Ed Emberley shies away from calling himself an artist and instead likes to say that “he draws pictures for a living.” Now in his eighties, Ed Emberley is a Caldecott award-winning children’s book illustrator and writer who has been creating original books since the 1960s. He has written and illustrated more than 100 books and is perhaps best known for his beloved how-to-draw books for kids such as: Ed Emberley’s Big Green Drawing Book, Ed Emberley’s Drawing Book of Faces, Ed Emberley’s Great Thumbprint Drawing Book, and many others. These simple and straightforward books, first published in the 1970s, have encouraged a generation of kids to take the drawing process step by step. Contemporary working artists today often cite Ed Emberley as a beloved early inspiration in their development as artists. By encouraging kids to draw using just a few simple shapes, Emberley has made drawing and creating accessible to everyone. As Emberley likes to say, “Not everyone needs to be an artist, but everyone needs to feel good about themselves.” This definitive monograph on the wide repertoire of Emberley’s life’s work has been beautifully put together by Todd Oldham and Caleb Neelon. Highlighting work spanning over five decades, this gorgeous and comprehensive book celebrates the talented and prolific life of Ed Emberley.

THE INSTAGRAM BOOK: INSIDE THE ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHY REVOLUTION introduction by Steve Crist edited by Steve Crist and Megan Shoemaker
My name is Omid Scheybani, and I’m a Germany-born Iranian. I’m in my mid-twenties now. I’ve lived in Spain, Ireland, and Argentina, before I ended up in San Francisco three years ago to work in the tech industry. If I’m not traveling for personal reasons (and I find a lot of reasons to do so), I go to Latin America a lot for work. Initially, my true passion was film, and some of my productions were even featured in national and international film festivals. It wasn’t until I bought my first smartphone that my photographic creativity was unleashed. The release of Instagram was the key event that got me engaged with instant photography. I don’t own a professional camera; I take all my shots with my phone (iPhone 5c currently). My experiences around the world have greatly shaped the perspective I have on life, which, in turn, influences my photographic eye. The German in me is constantly on the search for symmetry, while my exposure to Latin American cultures has made me appreciate humans as a subject matter in my photos. This picture was taken in Chelsea, New York City. I was on my way to work on a Tuesday morning when I came across this mural. I wanted to take a picture because I really liked the white writing on the red bricks. Ready to shoot, I noticed this mailman approaching from the left. Normally I let people pass by, but I had this artistic picture in my mind of the worker walking through the shot—and that’s exactly how the picture turned out.

We’re two Canadian friends that sold everything we owned, quit our jobs, bought a trailer and made a run for the border to complete our “Great American Bucket List”. Living for months on the road, stretching ourselves over the map, these photos have been a way to document a journey we’d dreamed of taking our whole lives. Instagram has been the perfect platform for us to share our photos and whereabouts with our friends and family and it just keeps growing as more people start to follow along. Sharing our photography online has been an amazing tool for us, putting us in contact with all sorts of people on the road and helping point us in different directions on the map. Since it’s just the two of us, most of our photos are taken with a tripod and timer. Early on, we started playing with the idea of parodying over-thetop tourist “selfies”, inspired by the landscapes and situations we found ourselves in. This series of photos has taken on a life of its own within our feed. We attempt to make each one more surreal or comedic than the next, while maintaining a consistency in the posing and composition of each frame. “Our Wild Abandon” is about choosing to live with a different perspective and committing to a path or an idea that’s going to better your life. It’s about not being complacent, not letting yourself get steered off that path you’ve set, and being hyper aware of the beauty in the people, places and situations you find yourself in and around. We hope that our photos inspire people to chase adventure in a similar way. Whether that means taking a sick day to play tourist in your own town, or heading off on an open ended journey.

I am a photographer from the Netherlands. While I have been taking photos for years, my love for mobile photography started two years ago. Because my iPhone is always in my pocket, it is the “best camera around” in most occasions. This particular photo was made during a trip to Ghent, Belgium. I love candid and street photography, but I don’t tend to do it myself. It doesn’t feel right to share photos of people who have no clue they are being photographed. This scene unfolded right before my eyes, and I couldn’t help myself. So I got out my iPhone and took a photo. I would have asked if they minded me sharing the photo, but they were still asleep when I got off the train.

Not since Edwin Land invented the Polaroid camera has image making become so revolutionized. Instagram has taken today’s phenomenon of instant photography and social media to a new zenith, enabling amateurs and auteurs alike to share their images with a global audience. From the ubiquitous selfie to urban life and the beauty of nature, Instagram has provided a forum for posting and viewing a seemingly endless archive of images from our time. From tweens to retirees, would-be and actual photographers are creating their own images and following countless others, creating an online community that is visually inspired. Since the origin of modern photography, artists of all kinds have sought to share their images within their personal networks of friends and family. Today, with the advent of the Internet and subsequent explosion of online photo sharing, photographers have an audience which is exponentially larger than that of just a few years ago. Photography as a medium has been revolutionized, with high-quality cameras built into smartphones, advanced editing software readily accessible, and online social media sites providing a platform for sharing and delivery. THE INSTAGRAM BOOK explores this rapidly expanding movement of social media photography in a stunning collection of images from photographers around the world who post their pictures on the popular app, Instagram. Curated from the software’s millions of users, THE INSTAGRAM BOOK explores a small spectrum of photographers—both professional and amateur alike—who contribute to this groundbreaking online community.

Renowned designers Charles and Ray Eames are among the greatest designers of the 20th century. They are, of course, most well known for their groundbreaking and iconic furniture designs, but they also created important, creative, experimental, and beautiful work in the areas of architecture, exhibit design, textile design, product design, graphic design, toy design, film, and photography. The Eameses’ distinctly postwar American enthusiasm and openness to the world around them gave them free license to explore work in many disciplines. This book celebrates the seamlessness and fluidity in which they operated as both a husband-and-wife team and as designers unrestricted by traditionally professional boundaries. They brought a sense of innocence and playfulness to the design process, as well as a tremendous love and discipline in all they created in many different fields and mediums. Augmenting the abundant visual images, Eames Demetrios—Charles’s grandson and the director of the Eames Office—has written chapter essays and an insightful introduction. Unlike any other book published on the Eameses before, this unique and sumptuous monograph is a visual celebration of their work and life and is destined to become a collector’s item. The packaging design of the slipcase is a pattern inspired by the triangles and colors of one of their most inventive, if lesser-known, designs for children, simply called, “the toy.” It also pays homage to the patterns they used on their wellloved House of Cards. The Eameses brought a sense of humor and joy to everything they created, and the design and layout of the book aims to convey that spirit in a visual feast for the eyes. Select details of their life and work, from their refined designs to their innovative experiments, and even including images depicting the everyday poetic moments of their lives, are shared here in this exhibit within a book. Inspired by Charles’s immersive and original slideshows, in which he expertly selected and grouped images together that communicated information in an aesthetic, direct, and accessible way, this book strives to visually create the Eameses’ life and work by taking the viewer through a delightful journey, focusing on their “beautiful details.”

Snowboarding as a winter sport has exploded in popularity in the last twenty-five years. One of the most prolific and talented photographers of this extreme sport is Jeff Curtes. CHASING EPIC: THE SNOWBOARD PHOTOGRAPHS OF JEFF CURTES is not only the ultimate document of snowboarding but an impressive artistic achievement as well. Curtes’s camera juxtaposes the best snowboarders of our time, including Shaun White and many others, across impossibly beautiful, majestic, and insane mountainsides. His compositions emphasize the lone individual soaring across awe-inspiring landscapes in an almost surreal and sometimes abstract figure/ground/sky relationship. Curtes’s images capture the skill, courage, and freedom that these athletes possess in their pursuit of the perfect ride. Jeff Curtes has been at the forefront of the snowboarding industry’s imagery since his first published work back in 1992. In 1994, Curtes signed with Burton Snowboards and had been their principal photographer until 2012, nearly twenty years behind the lens on the snow. Jeff’s work with Burton, originating with action-centric images, was unique in that it came from within the core snowboarder’s lifestyle. He was living and breathing snowboarding with his brother, Joe Curtes, as they traveled from the Midwest to the Mountains of the West Coast. Burton allowed Curtes to travel the world in search of the epic conditions that every snowboarder dreams of, and, in return, Curtes’s camera delivered an overwhelming collection of photographs to their light table.These images not only made incredible advertising and catalog content but also defined a subculture and captured the early history of snowboarding like no others before.

Chris Burkard’s photographs are punctuated by energized landscapes and moments of bliss, by adventure seeking and the lifestyle that it encompasses, and by movement and intuitive light-working capabilities. With the ocean as his main muse, Burkard has consistently captured this subject in timeless and expansive photographic impressions, utilizing the tool of surfing to approach the ocean’s intricate personality and then extending out to include the human personalities that draw meaning from this same source. Searching for wild, remote destinations and offbeat landscapes, Burkard portrays the humble placement of the human in contrast to nature within DISTANT SHORES: SURFING THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. At just 26 years of age, Burkard has spent the last eight years seeking out remote surf in the most rugged conditions in the world, and in the process, has established himself as a major photographer in the surf and outdoor community. Presently, Burkard serves as senior staff photographer for Surfer magazine and contributes regularly to various international publications and companies such as Patagonia. Burkard has completed two book projects, one with friend and co-author Eric Soderquist titled, The California Surf Project (2006), and the other, Plight of the Torpedo People, accompanying Patagonia body surfing film, Come Hell or High Water (2012). Burkard is a native Californian whose photographs have appeared in countless magazines and advertising campaigns. He lives on the central coast of California and travels extensively.

Palm Beach society, celebrities, nudist colonies, politicians, bald-headed men’s conventions, natural disasters, and even the world’s fattest cat were all captured through the elegant and clever lens of photographer Gerald Davis. Davis produced a prolific body of work that is at once weird and wonderful. As a resident of West Palm Beach, Davis had access to the eccentric and rarefied world of wealthy Palm Beachers and eccentric Floridians. Many of his images evoke the glamour and irony of its subjects, such as a sequined and fur-draped socialite posing languidly with her cat underneath a massive chandelier and frescoed ceiling. Davis gets the shot with the cat’s teeth digging in its owner’s hand. Born in New York City in 1940, Davis grew up in a working-class family in the Bronx. He spent his career as a photojournalist and worked for numerous European and U.S. magazines. In 1978 he became the photo editor for The National Enquirer, which led to many bizarre assignments. Todd Oldham discovered these STRANGE STORIES and knew they needed to be compiled into this lovely and humorous look at our society through the lens of an unassuming and devoted photographer. This secret treasure trove of images that range from Elizabeth Taylor to the waterskiing squirrel and dirty crime in the mean streets of Miami is sure to surprise and delight its viewers.

One afternoon in 1975, a young photographer named Hugh Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles and encountered skateboarders carving up the drainage ditches along the side of the canyon. Immediately transfixed by their grace and athleticism, he knew he had found an amazing subject. Although not a skateboarder himself, for the next three years Holland never tired of documenting skateboarders surfing the streets of Los Angeles, parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico. During the mid-1970s, Southern California was experiencing a serious drought, leaving an abundance of empty swimming pools available for trespassing skateboarders to practice their tricks. From these suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that created the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached blonde hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders are masterfully captured against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape in LOCALS ONLY. Holland’s skateboard photographs were first shown at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles in 2006. Following the success of the show, his work has been shown in Paris and New York City and used in American Apparel publicity campaigns. Holland resides in Los Angeles.

The momentary beauty of Sage Vaughn’s butterflies is palpable. These impossibly lovely, delicate creatures appear to have magically landed or violently crashed, oozing their colorful pigment like blood-stained marks across the canvas. The dichotomy of these delicate and ephemeral creatures co-existing over images of gritty urban life creates a contrast that is layered, mysterious, and up for interpretation. Vaughn’s butterflies appear as choreographed nature–their drips echoing his early beginnings as a graffiti artist. Sometimes juxtaposed against the likes of mundane interiors, forests, or the Russian punk band Pussy Riot, Vaughn’s distinctive paintings create provocative relationships between the built and natural environment. The effect is dreamlike and almost hypnotic, as swarms of butterflies concurrently live and die in graceful formations that are at once heartbreakingly beautiful and sublimely melancholy. Sage Vaughn is an LA-based painter and illustrator who is best recognized for his wildlife series. Moustachioed, eccentric, and consistent, Vaughn works in his studio from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and has been quoted as an artist with a blue-collar work ethic. As a child, Vaughn and his father, who was also a painter, would spend hours on end at the LA Zoo sketching animals all day. As a teenager, growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Vaughn was greatly influenced by the punk movement and graffiti art. Vaughn’s current Wildlives paintings focus on the juxtaposition and coexistence of humans and animals, drawing comparisons between their inherent liberty, freedom, and survival skills. He has had widely acclaimed solo shows in New York, Geneva, and London and has been featured in a group show at MOCA in LA, curated by the Beastie Boys’ Mike D.

THE BOOK
of CLEVER BASTARDS.
A personal view…
It has often been said to me, by very perceptive and intelligent people, ‘Ooh! You’re lucky! You stroll across to the studio every morning, carrying no more than a cup of coffee. You open up, look around, put your coffee down, sit down, pick up a pen and scribble a few lines on a piece of paper— and bingo! Your day is done. It just comes naturally to you, you lucky bastard!’
Not true.
Firstly, I don’t drink cof-
fee, and secondly, I am not a bastard, as far as I know. And anyway, I don’t go straight to the studio. There’s next door’s filthy white pigeons to deal with first, who persistently try to establish another dovecote on the kitchen alcove over our heads, bringing sticks, cooing smugly, dropping shitloads of guano and laying eggs. So I have devised a new use for rubber wine corks. I cut them in half, and with the help of a high velocity slingshot catapult I attack these broody, flying rats with great intensity. The corks don’t kill them, but they do deliver a hefty, feather-ruffling thwack to their evil whiteness, which sends them flapping frantically back from whence they came. Then I walk over to the studio and open up, but I still don’t sit down. I stand and look around nervously. I notice the damp stain getting bigger in the corner of the white ceiling. My eyes scan the rest of the room, and I know that it is time I vacuumed the cobwebs out of corners. Half-finished, or impossible projects that are not working out lie about in a sad and hazardous array. I scuttle through to the small room I use for an office and switch on the computer. Then I remember I had promised to sign someone’s book. I start that and think of something else I should have done last week. I make other excuses to avoid sitting down at my drawing table and confronting a piece of paper, particularly if it is white and blank. There is no dialogue yet between me and it, and I must make some kind of mark on the virgin surface in the hope that it speaks to me. That is generally how days begin.

Their 40-year friendship included collaborations on seminal books such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Curse of Lono, as well as numerous articles for Jann Wenner’s Rolling Stone, including the George Foreman vs. Muhammad Ali fight and coverage of the Watergate Scandals. PROUD TOO BE WEIRRD is the ultimate monograph of this creative genius.

This must-have book comes in two collectible editions. All one thousand, limited edition books are numbered and signed by Steadman, and each comes with an exclusive print. Steadman is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades for his illustrations in classic books such as Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451.

This year, a documentary film on Steadman, narrated by Johnny Depp, will be released by Sony Pictures. Fifteen years in the making, the film For No Good Reason highlights the many reasons to admire this one-of-a-kind artist.

The infamous Black Panther party made history as the radical African American organization established to promote civil rights and selfdefense from the mid-1960s to the 1970s. In 1968, LIFE magazine sent writer Gilbert Moore and photographer Howard L. Bingham to document and tell the story of the controversial Black Panthers. The Panthers were wary of mainstream media, and their Minister of Information, Eldridge Cleaver, would only allow LIFE to do the story if Bingham was the photographer. Bingham and Moore followed the Panthers for months, from Oakland to New York to Los Angeles, only to have the story pulled due to a disagreement between Moore and the magazine. Now, forty years later, these photographs and their story have finally been published. In the interim, photographer Howard Bingham has documented some of the most compelling people and events of our time, from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Malcolm X, Robert Kennedy, and Bingham’s lifelong friend Muhammad Ali.

As a young woman living in New York City, Dorothea Lange learned photography in a class taught by Clarence H. White. She also apprenticed at several studios throughout the city, including that of Arnold Genthe. In her twenties, she opened her own successful portrait studio in San Francisco. The Great Depression soon compelled Lange to focus her lens not on the posed people in her studio but on the unemployed and homeless she saw on the streets. Her journalistic images led to her employment with the federal Resettlement Administration, which later became the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange traveled across the country and documented rural poverty and exploited migrant workers. Lange also went on to photograph the Japanese internment camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, images that were later impounded by the U.S. Army. Lange’s most famous photograph from her period at the FSA, and perhaps of her career, is “Migrant Mother.” It is arguably the most iconic image of the Great Depression. During the peak of the Depression, Lange came across Florence Owens Thompson and her children off the side of the road in Nipomo, California. Thompson had set up camp while a friend went to find help for their car, which had broken down. In an 1960 interview with Popular Photography, Lange described the session: “I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.”
Résidente de New York, Dorothea Lange suivit des cours d’art visuel et fut notamment l’élève du photographe Clarence H. White. Elle poursuivit sa formation de photographe dans de nombreux studios de la ville, dont celui de Arnold Genthe, avant d’ouvrir son propre studio de portraits à San Francisco dans les années 1920.
Dorothea Lange lebte als junge Frau in New York und lernte dort in einer Vorlesung von Clarence H. White die Fotografie. Sie war auch in verschiedenen Foto-Studios der Stadt New York Praktikantin, unter anderem im Studio von Arnold Genthe. In ihren zwanziger Jahren eröffnete sie ihr eigenes erfolgreiches Porträtstudio in San Francisco.
Durante sus años de juventud en la ciudad de Nueva York, Dorothea Lange estudió fotografía como alumna de Clarence H. White. También trabajó como aprendiz en varios estudios de la ciudad, incluido el de Arnold Genthe. Con poco más de veinte años, abrió su propio y exitoso estudio de retratos en San Francisco.
La Grande Dépression de 1929 détourna Dorothea Lange des clients de son studio et l’amena à pointer son objectif sur la misère des sans-abris et des chômeurs. Ses photographies furent très vite appréciées et elle fut recrutée par la Resettlement Administration, un programme du New Deal de Roosevelt auquel devait succéder la Farm Security Administration (FSA). Elle entreprit alors de voyager dans tout le pays pour documenter la pauvreté rurale et l’exploitation des travailleurs itinérants pendant la dépression qui sévit alors aux Etats-Unis.
Die Weltwirtschaftskrise brachte Lange bald dazu, ihre Fotolinse nicht auf die posierenden Kunden in ihrem Studio zu richten, sondern auf die arbeits- und obdachlosen Menschen, die sie auf den Strassen sah. Ihre Strassenbilder führten zu einer Anstellung mit der Bundes-Wiederansiedlungsverwaltung, die später die Farm-Sicherheitsverwaltung wurde. Lange reiste durch das Land und dokumentierte die ländliche Armut und die Situation der missbrauchten Migranten-Arbeiter. Danach fotografierte Lange die japanischen Gefangenenlager nach der Bombardierung von Pearl harbor, und diese Bilder wurden später von der U.S. Armee beschlagnahmt.
La Gran Depresión pronto empujaría a Lange a cambiar el enfoque de sus lentes de los posados de su estudio a las personas desempleadas y sin hogar que veía por la ciudad. Sus imágenes de las calles le llevaron a encontrar un trabajo con la Federal Resettlement Administration, que más tarde se convertiría en la Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange recorrió el país documentando la pobreza rural y la explotación de los trabajadores inmigrantes. Lange pasó a fotografiar los campos de internamiento para japoneses tras el bombardeo de Pearl harbor, imágenes que más tarde confiscó el ejército de los Estados Unidos.
Lange’s berühmtestes Bild von ihrer Zeit mit der Farm-Sicherheitsverwaltung und vielleicht ihrer ganzen Karriere ist Migrant Mother. Es ist wahrscheinlich das am ikonischste Bild der Weltwirtschaftskrise. Während dem höhepunkt der Depression traf Lange Florence Owens Thompson und deren Kinder auf der Seite der Strasse in Nipomo, Kalifornien. Thompson campierte dort, während ein Freund hilfe suchen ging für ihr Auto, das zusammengebrochen war. In einem Interview von 1960 mit Popular Photography, beschrieb Lange die Session:
La fotografía más famosa de Lange de su época en la FSA, y quizá de toda su carrera, es Migrant Mother. Es, casi con toda seguridad, la imagen más representativa de la Gran Depresión. Durante el peor momento de la Depresión, Lange se encontró con Florence Owens Thompson y sus hijos a un lado de la carretera en Nipomo, California. Thompson había acampado mientras un amigo iba a buscar ayuda para el automóvil, que se había averiado. En una entrevista concedida a Popular Photography en 1960, Lange describió la sesión:
„Ich sah die hungrige und verzweifelte Mutter und näherte mich ihr, als ob von einem Magnet angezogen. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, wie ich ihr meine Präsenz oder meine Kamera erklärte, aber ich erinnere mich daran, dass sie mich keine Fragen fragte. Ich machte fünf Belichtungen, arbeitete näher und näher von der selben Richtung. Ich fragte sie nicht nach ihrem Namen oder nach ihrer Geschichte. Sie sagte mir ihr Alter, dass sie zwei-und-dreissig sei. Sie sagte, dass sie von gefrorenem Gemüse von den umgebenden Feldern gelebt hatten, und den Vögeln, die die Kinder umbrachten. Sie hatte gerade die Reifen von ihrem Auto verkauft, um Essen zu kaufen. Da sass sie in diesem angebautem Zelt mit ihren umsie-herumkauernden Kindern, und schien zu wissen, dass meine Bilder ihr helfen könnten, und so half sie mir. Da war eine Art von Gleichstellung dabei.“
“Vi una madre desesperada y hambrienta y me acerqué a ella, como atraída por un imán. No recuerdo cómo expliqué mi presencia o mi cámara, pero recuerdo que ella no me hizo ninguna pregunta. Hice cinco exposiciones, trabajando más y más cerca desde la misma dirección. No le pregunté su nombre o su historia. Me dijo su edad, tenía treinta y dos años. Me dijo que sobrevivían a base de verduras congeladas de los campos de los alrededores y de pájaros que cazaban los niños. Acababa de vender los neumáticos de su automóvil para comprar comida. Y allí estaba sentada, atendiendo a sus hijos que se amontonaban a su alrededor, y parecía saber que mis fotos podían ayudarla, así que ella me ayudaba a su vez. Había una especie de igualdad en ello”.
La Mère migrante reste la photographie la plus célèbre de sa période à la FSA, et certainement de toute sa carrière. Dans la conscience collective, c’est sans doute l’image la plus emblématique de la Grande Dépression aux Etats-Unis. Au plus noir de la dépression, les chemins de Dorothea Lange et de Florence Owens Thompson se croisèrent au bord de la route de Nipomo, en Californie. Florence Thompson s’était installée avec ses enfants dans un camp de travailleurs migrants pendant qu’un ami était parti chercher de l’aide pour réparer leur voiture. Dans un entretien accordé au magazine Popular Photography en 1960, Dorothea Lange décrivit la rencontre en ces termes : « Quand j’ai vu cette mère affamée et désespérée, je me suis tout de suite approchée. Je ne me rappelle pas comment je lui ai expliqué ma présence ou mon appareil photo, mais je me souviens qu’elle ne me posait aucune question. J’ai pris cinq clichés en me rapprochant peu à peu. Je n’ai pas cherché à connaître son nom ou son passé. Elle m’a dit son âge, elle avait trente-deux ans. Elle m’a expliqué qu’elle vivait de légumes gelés trouvés dans les champs et d’oiseaux que ses enfants tuaient. Elle venait de vendre les pneus de sa voiture afin de se procurer de la nourriture. Elle était assise là, dans cet abri de fortune avec ses enfants blottis contre elle, elle semblait savoir que mes photos pourraient l’aider, et elle m’a donc aidée en retour. Nous nous trouvions sur une sorte de pied d’égalité. »
The Love and Hate sermon comes from one of my favorite films, Night of the Hunter, written by James Agee.
Dorothea Lange I’m often asked what my favorite film is that I’ve directed. I don’t have one specifically, but Do The Right Thing is on the list. After She’s Gotta Have It (1986) and School Daze (1988), I knew the title of my third film. I didn’t find it strange that I knew it would be titled Do The Right Thing but had no sense of what the story would be. Start with that and build. Since the August 1989 release of the film, if I had a dollar for every time somebody came up to me and yelled, “Hey Spike, do the right thing,” I would have been able to finance several of my films. Working on this book, reading the fine oral history has been a joy. I remember things I had forgotten and learned things I didn’t know. Do The Right Thing grows in stature every year. Colleges and universities have a course on it, which, to me, is maybe its greatest achievement. The film is being taught to new generations of people every semester—young students who were not even born when the film came out. And it’s not just confined to film schools.
INTRODUCTION BY SPIKE LEE
It is our hope that you will continue to enjoy Do The Right Thing, which still holds up strong after all these years. The reason for that is the hardworking, talented and dedicated people in front of and behind the camera. Our mission was to make a bold film, not just with the subject matter, but also in how it looked, how it sounded, and the quality that one puts into this art form/craft we call cinema. We set out with what we intended to do, and did it. That’s what I call a winner.
