American Politicians presents a marvelous collection of images, from Mathew Brady’s indelible portraits of Abraham Lincoln to the carefully staged “photo opportunities” of today. Among them are icons of political photography- Calvin Coolidge wearing a Native American headdress, Fiorello La Guardia reding comics over the radio, Harry Truman playing the piano for Lauren Bacall, Lyndon Johnson displaying the scar from his surgery. Also reproduced are many rare photographs of both prominent and obscure practitioners of the rites of American politics, caught unrelentingly by camera. 208 pp.; 197 illus. Published in 1994 and edited by Susan Kismaric, this rare book from MoMA Publications is available in extremely limited quantities. Each book from this special selection has been stored for decades in MoMA’s warehouse. MoMA’s award-winning publications program has been an integral part of the Museum’s mission since its founding in 1929. These exhibition- and collection-related titles are renowned for their high production values.
