After taking photography classes at the School of Visual Arts, he embarked on his first major project: recording tourists and pleasure-seekers visiting Coney Island. Gilden is probably best known for his work on the streets of New York, focusing on the city's characters and outsiders, but he has also spent many years on projects devoted on projects in Haiti, Japan, and Ireland. A member of Magnum Photos since 1998, Gilden has taken the genre of street photography and pushed it in new directions, documenting the essence of the people he sees and the social landscape through which they move. 80 illustrations in color and duotone

Impossible Reminiscences

Poetic and dramatic, staged and captured in masterly fashion by the pioneers of photography, the Oberammergau Passion Plays as they looked at the end of the 19th century, are here collected in a single volume of photos, some of them never before shown to the public. They are from the private archives of the Lang family. 
The beginnings of what are today the world-famous Passion Plays in Oberammergau go back a long way. In the plague year of 1633, the inhabitants of the village vowed to stage regular plays telling the story of Christ’s Passion. Ever since photography was invented, the event, held every ten years, has been documented on film. The photographers, including the Oberammergau pioneer Korbinian Christa, captured a now long-lost world in their pictures. 
 Even today, the shots, taken between 1870 and 1922, of everyday and theater scenes, performers and children, woodcarvers, local costumes, visitors, and locals exercise a huge fascination. The focus is always on the multifariousness of the village and its inhabitants. The combination of poetry and staged drama revealed in these photographs creates a special and unusual tension shown through the selection and comparison of pictures. Also presented for the first time in this volume are previously unseen hand-coloured glass transparencies.

László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was a painter, photographer, Bauhaus teacher, and founder of the New Bauhaus and the School of Design in Chicago--one of the most important artistic figures of the twentieth century. As one of the first artists to work across such a wide range of media--including painting, sculpture, photography, film, and design--Moholy-Nagy set standards that remain potent today, particularly in photography, which had hitherto not been regarded as art. And his influence extended far beyond his actual work: as a teacher, first at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, then, after fleeing the Nazis, in Chicago, Moholy-Nagy shared his revolutionary vision of uniting art and life in order to permit artistic activities to overflow into everyday life. This volume in the Great Masters of Art series offers an accessible, insightful account of Moholy-Nagy's life and work, one that puts him in context of his times and assesses his ongoing influence and legacy. &nbsp;
