Synopsis
Unseen images of the Beats, including many--uniquely--in color This magnificent volume features a remarkable collection of largely unseen photographs of the Beat Generation by renowned Magnum photographer Burt Glinn. This amazing, untouched treasure trove of images was discovered when Reel Art Press was working with Burt Glinn's widow, Elena, on a larger retrospective of Glinn's work. Archived with the negatives was a short essay by Jack Kerouac entitled "And This Is The Beat Nightlife of New York," which is published here alongside the photographs. The book features black-and-white shots, and also--uniquely, for images of this era--more than 70 in color. An extremely rare find, these photographs capture the raw energy of the Beat Generation in a way that has never been seen before in print. The photographs were shot between 1957 and 1960 in New York and San Francisco and feature nearly everyone involved in the scene, including writers and artists such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, LeRoi Jones, Jay DeFeo, Wally Hedrick and many more. Glinn was celebrated for his extraordinary talent as a social documentary photographer, and during his time with the Beats his camera captured the spirit of the counterculture--writers, musicians and artists meeting in cafes, bars and parties pursuing a truth and future the mainstream would and could not acknowledge. This exquisite tome is an intimate and fresh insight into the lives of the legendary and influential bohemians and a celebration of Glinn's inimitable talent. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Burt Glinn (1935-2008) was an American professional photographer who worked with Magnum Photos. He covered revolutionary leader Fidel Castro's entrance into Havana, Cuba, and photographed people such as Andy Warhol and Helen Frankenthaler. In collaboration with the writer Laurens van der Post, Glinn published A Portrait of All the Russias (1967) and A Portrait of Japan (1968)., This magnificent book features a remarkable collection of largely unseen photographs of the Beat Generation by renowned Magnum photographer Burt Glinn.

    1st time buying from this seller. I will go go with Positive because there was only 1 GLARING Negative. I would consider buying from again only if I was assured that negative was fixed. The miniatures are a Value. The Miniatures are exactly as described. The miniatures were shipped in a box but painted vintage lead miniatures were 10 to a bag dinking around with some bubble wrap on the outside of the bag. I can only assume this seller has never shipped a miniature before

    Was packaged really well and protected with a good layer of bubble wrap and air pocket packaging. Item arrived in great condition with only a small bit of the box bent a bit (no fault of the seller just how things go with shipping and items like this). The price was very close to the original msrp which is why I immediately jumped on buying it. In terms of quality, everything in the box is in good shape and I wouldn’t hold seller to that anyway. Overall would definitely recommend this seller.
