[MORRISON, Toni] BERGMAN, Robert. A KIND OF RAPTURE. New York: Pantheon,
(1998). First Edition. Folio (9-3/8" x 11-1/2"). Introduction by Toni
Morrison and afterword by Meyer Schapiro, the only text in this
absolutely stunning collection of color photographic portraits, mostly
of street people, which Schapiro says "bring to mind some of the
greatest painted portraits." Using high-resolution digital equipment,
Bergman created his own color separations for these photographs which
were taken with a simple 35 mm camera, amateur film, no tripod, and no
special lighting. Of this, his first book, Toni Morrison in her
introduction states, "Occasionally there arises an event or a moment
that one knows immediately will forever mark a place in the history of
artistic endeavor. Robert Bergman's portraits represent such a moment."
Obviously, no light praise and well deserved once you see these truly
amazing photographs that have the power to stop you in your tracks. This
copy is INSCRIBED to Ken and SIGNED by Morrison at her contribution.
