(For soundness, for clarity, for succinctness, this manua...)
For soundness, for clarity, for succinctness, this manual of basic ballet is the best there is anywhere. Edwin Denby, The Nation With a precision unparalleled in any other book of its kind, The Classic Ballet presents a lucid text, and nearly six hundred drawings describe and illustrate in minute detail the proper body position, balance point, movement, and attitude of each position and step in the basic classical repertory. As George Balanchine wrote in his preface: There are no shortcuts to great dancing, but what is necessary to remember and unalterable in its instruction may be found in this book . . . An admirable source of reference for the highest standard of practice. It is an invaluable tool for the student or teacher of balletas well as a must-have treasure for the balletomane.

More than any other artist Walker Evans invented the images of essential America that we have long since accepted as fact and his work has influenced not only modern photography but also literature film and visual arts in other mediums The original edition of American Photographs was a carefully prepared letterpress production published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1938 to accompany an exhibition of photographs by Evans that captured scenes of America in the early 1930s As noted on the jacket of the first edition Evans photographing in New England or Louisiana watching a Cuban political funeral or a Mississippi flood working cautiously so as to disturb nothing in the normal atmosphere of the average place can be considered a kind of disembodied burrowing eye a conspirator against time and its hammers This seventy-fifth anniversary edition of American Photographs made with new reproductions recreates the original 1938 edition as closely as possible to make the landmark publication available for a new generation American Photographs has fallen out of print for long periods of time since it was first published and even subsequent editions-two of which altered the design and typography of the book in small but significant ways-are often available only at libraries and rare bookstores This version like the fiftieth-anniversary edition produced by the Museum in 1988 captures the look and feel of the very first edition with the aid of new digital technologies Walker Evans 1903-1975 took up photography upon his return to New York in 1927 following a year in Paris when his aspiration to become a writer withered in the shadow of Fitzgerald Hemingway and Joyce In 1935 Evans was commissioned by the Farm Security Administration to photograph the effects of the Great Depression in the Southeast During this time he took many of the photographs that appeared in his collaboration with James Agee Let Us Now Praise Famous Men 1941 a book which has becom
