This intimate family album is a revealing photographic look at the Beat Generation as chronicled by the movement s great poet Allen Ginsberg. Allen Ginsberg began photographing in the late 1940s when he purchased a small, second-hand Kodak camera. For the next fifteen years he took photographs of himself, his friends, and lovers, including the writers and poets Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Gregory Corso as well as Beat personality Neal Cassady. He abandoned photography in 1963 and took it up again in the 1980s, when he was encouraged by photographers Berenice Abbott and Robert Frank to reprint his earlier work and make new portraits; these included more images of longtime friends as well other acquaintances such as painters Larry Rivers and Francesco Clemente and musician Bob Dylan. Ginsberg's photographs form a compelling portrait of the Beat and counterculture generation from the 1950s to the 1990s. Far more than historical documents, his photographs and the extensive inscriptions he added to them years later preserve what he referred to as 'the sacredness of the moment,' the often joyous communion of friends and the poignancy of looking back to intensely felt times. More than seventy prints are brilliantly reproduced in this book and accompanied by Sarah Greenough's essay on Ginsberg's photography in relation to his poetry and other photographers of the time, a chronology of his photographic activity, and selections from interviews with Ginsberg between 1958 and 1996.

Seeing with the Eyes of the Angels

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 19 mai 2010

Achat vérifié

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is currently (May 2 -- September 6,2010) exhibiting a collection of photographs by the American poet Allen Ginsberg (1926 -- 1997). The Beats remain one of my passions. The book is produced and edited by Sarah Greenough, senior curator and head of the deparment of photographs at the National Gallery. Greenough sets the stage for the photographs which follow with an insightful introductory essay bearing the title of this review. She discusses Ginsberg's use of photography at various times during his life and relates his photographic endeavors to his poetry.

Together with Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, Ginsberg was at the center of a small group of young men in the vicinity of Columbia University in the mid-1940s who would become notorious as the "Beats" of the 1950s. As described by Greenough (p.7), "the Beats were outsiders with a keen appreciation of life on the edge. Often living hand-to-mouth and uninterested in middle-class American culture, values, and morality, they embraced instead an alternative lifestyle which promoted personal freedom, sexual openness, spontanaiety, movement, and speed."

Ginsberg had an epiphany in the 1940s which led him to his calling as a poet. He would become famous as the author of "Howl" and "Kaddish." In his early years, he gradually developed an interest in photography, taking most of his pictures on an inexpensive box camera. He essentially gave up photography in the 1960s but recovered his interest in the medium in the 1980s and returned to his long-forgotten photographs of years earlier. In a small but generally legible script, Ginsberg added annotations to many of his earlier pictures. In his latter years, Ginsberg's photographs attracted considerable interest, and he taught courses and lectured together with the famous photographer Robert Frank.

In 1990,Ginsberg offered the following description of the impact of his photography which serves as a preface to the pictures in this volume: "The poignancy of a photograph comes from looking back to a fleeting moment in a floating world." Ginsberg's photos capture people, places, and moods of the utmost transience. Yet they are preserved and speak to the viewer through the medium of photographic art. These photographs have a sense of immediacy and spontaniety, especially for those viewers interested in the Beats.

The written annotations add a great deal to the photographs and, with effort, are legible. The annotations are also given in print in the "Checklist" section of the volume. There are many unforgettable photographs of both a young and a prematurely aged Jack Kerouac, including the photo on the cover of the volume and a photo of the charismatically handsome Kerouac standing of the fire escape of Ginsberg's apartment and gazing over east Manhattan in 1953. There are many photographs of William Burroughs as well,, including a photo of Burroughs lecturing Kerouac on the need to leave home and break his dependence on his mother. (p. 42) Neal Cassady is featured in several photographs, including a timeless scene from San Francisco in March 1955 with Cassady and his lover of the time embracing in front of a movie marquis. (p.53) There are revealing photographs of poets Gregory Corso and Gary Snyder, of aging early figures in the "Beat" movement, Lucien Carr (p.83) and Herbert Hunke (p.78) and of others affiliated with the Beats or with Ginsberg over the years.

There are photgraphs of Allen Ginsberg himself, from his youth to old age and a rare photograph of his parents (p.29) and other family members. Ginsberg's long-term lover, Peter Orlovsky, receives a good deal of attention, as does Orlovsky's family. And there are many photographs of places, especially New York City, that are irreplaceable, such as the 1953 photograph of what Ginsberg's annotation describes as a "shopping cart street prophet" (p.35) and photographs shot from Ginsberg's window onto Manhattan's lower east side late in his life (pp 98,99).

The book is in a large format printed on glossy paper with excellent reproductions. In addition to the photgraphic plantes and Greenough's introduction, the volume includes a chronology of Ginsberg's involvement with photography and the text of a 1991 interview of Ginsberg on photography conducted by Thomas Gladysz, who has also reviewed this volume here on Amazon.

This book will be treasured by those interested in the Beats. For those planning to be in Washington D.C., a visit to the National Gallery always is rewarding. This exhibit will be worth your time.

Beat Memories: The New and Improved Collection of Photographs of Allen Ginsberg

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 1 juin 2010

Achat vérifié

A lifelong Beats fan, I heartily recommend this new collection of photographs by Allen Ginsberg, which is based upon an exhibition currently on display at the National Gallery of Art. Most of the photographs include powerful, frequently poignant, captions written in the margins by Allen Ginsberg in his own hand.

This masterpiece clearly trumps an earlier book of photographs published by Allen Ginsberg and Twin Palms in 1991. Perhaps due to technological advances since then, the quality of prints in this one is far superior. Even more importantly, "Beat Memories" contains several significant Allen Ginsberg photographs not included in the 1991 edition.

Perhaps my favorite is a stunning 1961 photograph of William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, and Paul Bowles in Tangiers, with two adolescent boys crouching in the background. As the Washington Post so aptly observed in its review of the National Gallery exhibition, "someone clearly staged the photograph to put the lads in the shadows, as if to say that youth is servile before art, or that art needs to keep its distance from unformed minds in beautiful bodies. Whatever Ginsberg may have intended, it's a striking image, and it argues implicitly with the idea that the Beats were merely a youth movement, a moment of sexy counterculture, fueled with libidinous energy."

This book is a must-have for followers of Allen Ginsberg and the Beat Generation, as well as an important contribution to the documentary history of mid-20th century American photography. Bravo!

allen ginsberg, through his photographs and comments, brings out the very humanity of the subjects--especially of himself.

I was almost giddy with pleasure and surprise--just looking at the cover, front and back, sideways and upside down, and then began flipping the pages from back to front, stopping to read Ginsberg's words--not always easy, but worth the realness of his script--stopping only when the photo leaped at me--most did leap, but I didn't want to linger too long at this kind of "first look, best look," I was too excited, and when I touched, gently--but, My God!, firmly!--the front cover, I raised my head, dropped the book, and bellowed to Ginsberg, "You did it! You did it! You son-of-a-bitch, you did it," and sat down, the book cradled on my lap, and slowly, slowly, started at the beginning, while tears of memory rolled easily down my face.
