Feldschuh Gallery - Henri Cartier-Bresson, Henri Matisse, Vence, France, 1944
US$28,500.00
One of the most original, accomplished, and influential figures in the history of photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) takes on another famed Henri in this 1944 photograph. Captured in black and white, Matisse-the wild Fauve-is stripped of his normal abundance of color as he poses for a portrait while convalescing at home on the French Riviera. He gently holds a white dove, while sketching the bird. Three others perch on a cage in the foreground. Here, we see a portrait of an artist in a medium so different from his own.DATE:1944, printed laterMEDIUM:Gelatin silver printDIMENSIONS:11.5 inches by 17.4 inches (unframed)*This item requires special delivery.

Feldschuh Gallery - Ralph Gibson, Malibu [woman in bikini] 1972
US$6,000.00 Ralph Gibson's _Malibu (woman in a bikini)_epitomizes the fluidity and freedom that prevailed on the West Coast in the 1970s. The figure evidently lounges on the beach, sunbathing her already tanned body. The macromé swimsuit she wears creeps to reveal a nipple, while her hand angles gently toward her hips. With this image, Gibson plays with light and shadow...

Here Weston presents a woman squatting, with her weight resting on her heels. Her muscles are highlighted in a frame that captures only her torso and below: a strategic...

US$2,750.00 German artist Rosemarie Trockel takes on perception and color theory in _Falling Blue, Rising Red_. This pair of heliogravures is the result of the oldest procedure for reproducing photographic images, a two-step process of etching the image onto a copper plate and then printing the image onto paper using inks. Here, Trockel foregoes the image for color. The title...

Feldschuh Gallery - Masao Yamamoto, A Box of Ku #191
US$1,500.00 Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto's formal training as a painter is evident in this work from _A Box of Ku_, his series of visual haikus notable for their small scale and mesmerizing patina. He captures a serene view of the Japanese countryside, with a waterfall that churns in a sea of leafy foliage. The light reflects and refracts, nearly distorting...
