The Photographs of Ray K. Metzker
Keith Davis explores the roots of Metzker's innovative vision, from his early interest in photojournalism through his studies at Chicago's Institute of Design in the 1950s, and his bold innovations of the 1960s and 1970s.
Ray K. Metzker
The goal of this publication is a fully-retrospective presentation of the work of Ray K. Metzker, one of the most important and original American photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. The book, with more than 200 high-quality reproductions, features all aspects of his prolific career of more fifty years which still shows no sign of abating. Well-known and much-exhibited in the United States, Metzker is inexplicably less well-known outside the States. This retrospective survey encompasses the full range of Metzkers brilliant, constantly evolving, formal language. Although Metzker has photographed in Europe on several occasions, he has never felt the need to travel to particularly exotic climes for inspiration. He finds it readily at hand in the neighbourhoods where he has lived principally Chicago and Philadelphia and increasingly in the domain of nature, though the vegetation he depicts in such original form might well be that of a weed-clogged vacant city lot as much as the vast open plains of the American West.

He had met his lover in the early 1970?s when the impact of the gay movement upon the consciousness of gay men was just gaining ground.00Then, gay was good, and gay was proud. The laws against gay sex had been turned back. The definition of homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder was successfully challenged. The commercial scene and the visibility of gay men expanded to unprecedented levels. Although, while all this change provided the individual with the means for unstigmatised sexual experimentation in relatively safe venues, simultaneously it hardly dented social attitudes and lega...

A Life of One's Own
'This is what I really want. I want to discover ways to discriminate the important things in human life. I want to find ways of getting past this blind fumbling with existence.' - Marion Milner, from A Life of One’s Own. How often do we really ask ourselves, 'What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?' In A Life of One’s Own Marion Milner, a renowned British psychoanalyst, artist and autobiographer, takes us on an extraordinary and compelling seven-year inward journey to discover what it is that makes her happy. On its first publication, W. H. Auden found the book 'as exciting as a detective story' and, as Milner searches out clues, the reader quickly becomes involved in t...
Auto Portraits
Automobiles, trucks and SUVs make their way through Manhattan traffic on a daily basis, clogging the thoroughfares with a constant barrage of noise and pollution. Here Michael Spano concentrates on the person behind the wheel, honing in on facial expressions and upper-body positions trapped within, yet protected by, the rigid structure of the automobile. The drivers appear unaware of the busy metropolis, revealing a segment of American car culture grounded in the urban locale.
