Sobre este artículo
New York: Abrams, , 2007. Rilegato, sovracoperta (hard cover, dust jacket). Molto buono (Very Good). Testo di Evan Bachner. Numerose fotografie in bianco e nero. 8vo (cm 28x29). pp. 160. Molto buono (Very Good). . Negli anni successivi alla seconda guerra mondiale, le immagini del cameratismo, in particolare quelle di uomini fisicamente vicini, sono in gran parte scomparse dai registri pubblici. Ma, come testimoniano le splendide fotografie di At Ease, gli uomini comuni americani nelle straordinarie circostanze della seconda guerra mondiale erano affettuosi, seducenti e giocherelloni - disarmantemente innocenti in un periodo di pericolo catastrofico. Questo libro ne fornisce testimonianza, con foto rare di uomini arruolati. Guidata dal gigante della fotografia, il Capitano Edward J. Steichen, l'Unità Fotografica dell'Aviazione Navale degli Stati Uniti fu organizzata durante la guerra per registrare le esperienze quotidiane degli uomini della Marina in tutto il mondo e fornire a giornali e riviste immagini per promuovere la causa americana. I fotografi dell'unità, tra cui Wayne Miller, Horace Bristol, Victor Jorgensen e Barrett Gallagher, scattarono migliaia di foto di soldati mentre si rilassavano, si allenavano, si preparavano per la battaglia successiva. Questo libro, come l'originale At Ease, riunisce più di 150 di quelle fotografie, raccolte dagli Archivi Nazionali, tra cui molte mai pubblicate prima. Queste fotografie offrono uno sguardo raro e intimo sugli uomini della Marina. In the years following World War II, images of comradeship, particularly of men being physically close, largely disappeared from the public record. But, as the stunning photographs from the original At Ease attest, ordinary American men in the extraordinary circumstances of World War II were affectionate, winsome and playful - disarmingly innocent in a time of cataclysmic peril. This book provides even more of these rarely-seen photos of enlisted men. Led by photography giant Captain Edward J. Steichen, the U.S. Naval Aviation Photographic Unit was organised during the war to record the daily experiences of Navy men all over the world and provide newspapers and magazines with images to promote the American cause. The unit's photographers, which included Wayne Miller, Horace Bristol, Victor Jorgensen and Barrett Gallagher, took thousands of pictures of soldiers as they relaxed, trained, prepared for the next battle and waited. This book, like the original At Ease, brings together more than 150 of those photographs, culled from the National Archives, including many that have never before been published. Monumental depictions of weaponry, these photographs offer a rare, intimate look at the Navy men themselves.
