Description

Lot of 3 Art & Design Monographs — Weston, Van Gogh & Wright (1986–2008)

A curated collection of three beautifully printed art and design monographs showcasing photography, painting, and architecture — three essential disciplines of modern aesthetics.

Supreme Instants: The Photography of Edward Weston
By Beaumont Newhall. New York Graphic Society / Little, Brown & Co., Boston, 1986.
ISBN: 0-8212-1621-X / 978-0-8212-1621-7.
First edition. Published in association with the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson. Includes 120+ duotone plates printed in Switzerland. Newhall’s insightful essay examines Weston’s development and artistry, drawn from the Edward Weston Archive.

Edited by Sjraar van Heugten & Joachim Pissarro. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York & Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 2008.
ISBN: 978-0-87070-736-0.
The official catalog from MoMA’s 2008–2009 exhibition, exploring Van Gogh’s nocturnal imagery through over 100 vivid illustrations, including The Starry Night, Café Terrace at Night, and The Sower. Essays discuss color theory, atmosphere, and Van Gogh’s spiritual interpretation of light.
