by Kent, Rockwell
[Typed Letter, Signed, Concerning Photography]
by Kent, Rockwell
- Used
Ausable Forks, NY, 1939. One page, quarto, on personal letterhead. Fine. To Ralph D. Hartman, Cleveland. Kent apologizes for his delay in correspondence, and obliges his request to have some books signed. He writes further: "I am glad my letter to Tom Maloney [editor of the then recently founded U.S. CAMERA - Kent contributed to its inaugural issue] amused you. I did not amuse him, for my contention is that photography isn't, can't be, and shouldn't be art, that its' value lies not in being art and that when it stops being straight documental recording and tries to be art it becomes simply neither. Thank God that Brady of the Civil War period did not think he was an artist." Signed "Faithfully yours, Rockwell Kent." Although clearly on the losing side of the argument, Kent was himself a prolific documentary photographer, accumulating a substantial archive of photographs, particularly in the context of his travels and the recording of raw material for his own art work.

Description:
East Falmouth, MA: PeKa Boo Press, 1984 IN NEAR FINE CONDITION. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the ffp "To Bob Gontos (sp?) a good friend and pleasant colleague, Bob E." In April & May 1984, the U.S. and Canada presented verbal aguments to the World Court, over the exact international ocean boundary line between them. The author, as an ecologist and not a lawyer, found it difficult to take notes. In an effort to focus on the legal basis, he found himself doddling. This book is full of black & white doodles of a biological nature, which represent what was being discussed, retaining some of the original handwritten notes. ie: "Listening to Lawyers argue points is like looking through a kaleidoscope" with a kalaidoscopic image, along with handwritten notes that read "Any non-lawyer who attempts to explore the labyrinths of a lawyers mind will surely meet the minotaur." Very insightful and entertaining. In a protective mylar sleeve.

Irregular accordion folding, into folio of covered boards with etching and mixed media decorative paper. Karen Kunc: "The cantilevered folds of a looming structure have subtle visual cues that seep and inundate behind and within. This edifice is made vulnerable by the hype and chatter of rumor and echoes; it is permeated by the consuming, swirling network of insistencies - the distractions of the media world we have created - that penetrates our every hour...fascinating, fanciful, insidious, precarious.
