| Title: Pictures Of You |
| By (author): Rory Maclean |
| ISBN10-13: 0995185514 : 9780995185517 |
| Ten real lives, ten photographs, ten journeys in time: the first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Maoâ s most timid lover, Natureâ s final battle with Man. One photograph â or group of photographs â comes from each decade of the 20th century. All belong to the Archive of Modern Conflict. Over the last 25 years the Archiveâ s small collection of amateur photographs has grown into one of the worldâ s most moving image treasuries, its shelves now holding pictures of some four million lost lives. "Iâ ve spent hundreds of hours exploring the Archiveâ s shelves, opening its manila files, guided by both specific searches and serendipity. Time and again, while holding a handful of black-and-white family snapshots or a single intimate loversâ portrait, Iâ ve been moved beyond words â and to words â by the glimpse of past lives, of individuals whom one has never heard of and whose stories can now only be divined. In this handsome illustrated book, I try to bring those lives to life again. I travel from Siberia to Rangoon, China to Shepperton Studios, hearing forgotten voices that echo from the depths of time, picturing lives that mirror our own, and saving the stories behind these pictures of you.

| Title: 1938 - 1963 Ecsegfalva, Hungary |
| By (author): Gergely Papp |
| ISBN10-13: 0995185549 : 9780995185548 |
| Enigmatic Hungarian photographer Gergely Papp (1922â 2000) was born into a peasant family, on a farmstead in Pusztaecseg (now Ecsegfalva) in Eastern Hungary. He would live there for the rest of his life. In 1938, Papp learned the mechanics of photography from his brother and took to depicting life in the village: christenings, harvests, hunting, weddings, funerals and much more. Papp documented provincial life in Hungary before and throughout World War II, the communist regime and failed 1956 revolution. He eventually stopped taking photographs in early 1963. Distressed by the forced nationalization of the familyâ s land, Papp went out, cut down his fruit trees and took a final self-portrait in the remains. The life and work of Gergely Papp was little known until his images were encountered by Hungarian art historian Tibor Miltenyi in the 1990s, shortly before Pappâ s death. While much of Pappâ s archive was destroyed by local vandals, the Archive of Modern Conflict has acquired the few surviving photographs; many appear here, published for the first time. |
