"Nothing endures but change — heraclitus
Our human capacity for transformation, and the freedom that implies, is very much at the heart of this latest edition of Bruce Weber’s “All-American” journal. Time will tell what any of us become—and the subjects of this year’s volume reveal the myriad ways that mutability can be a power and a revelation. Bruce’s long-time friend Kurt Markus shares photographs of his children, who now, as adults, reflect on the experience of being his subject. Patrice Calmettes, the beloved Parisian character, opens his personal archive—sharing images of ‘70s and ‘80s decadence with his evolution as a photographer. Noted film and stage biographer James Grissom offers a personal essay about the desires and perils of growing up in Baton Rouge. The paintings of the American artist John Koch suggest a world of mystery and secrecy among the virtuoso compositions of his domestic scenes. And in this 21st edition, Bruce Weber celebrates a group of powerful women whose dedication to changing the world is a continual inspiration. Cheryl Little, Esq. and the Honorable Rosemary Barkett articulate the contradictions and paradoxes of our national debate over immigration. Gianna Cerbone’s devotion to Long Island City affirms the old-school values of community connection. And the model-turned-animal rights advocate Jane Gill narrates her story, and in so doing, demonstrates how one’s ability to adapt is at times a salvation." A brand new, most handsome example still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 9780578314181 Inventory Number: I00211217 -

Borrowing its title from a classic Irving Berlin song popularized by Frank Sinatra and Doris Day, Bruce Weber’s latest installment of his All-American journal series presents a joyful array of passionate performers, visual virtuosos and dedicated altruists. The performing arts take center stage in this 23rd edition. Weber offers portfolios and profiles devoted to long-time friends and musical collaborators including the bassist Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the boundary-breaking Broadway icon Chita Rivera and Eduardo Marturet, the celebrated composer and maestro of the Miami Symphony Orchestra. Weber shares a personal essay in praise of the gallery owner Lee Witkin and the photographer George Tice, whose work opens the volume. As always, Weber utilizes All-American as a platform for celebrating rising talents, including the sculptor Ido Yoshimoto, photographed at home in Inverness by Natalia Ortega and Emil Cohen, whose spectacular photo portraits are presented in conversation with the French figurative painter Jacques Sultana. Continuing his life-long advocacy for animal rights, Weber showcases the trials and triumphs of two animal organizations he discovered this year: New York Bully Crew and Kent Animal Rescue. All-American XXIII: Let’s Take An Old-Fashioned Walk includes texts by Joan Didion, Richard Blanco, Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen."
