ISBN 0976326507

First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 244 pages. The artist/photographer's retrospective collection on subject. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Victor Skrebneski and Michael Kutza: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards, which feature one of the most celebrated Festival posters, with red and black titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Victor Skrebneski. Introduction, "Forward Moving Pictures!", by Roger Ebert. Essays by John Russell Taylor and Michael Kutza. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the Festival's 40th Anniversary. Presents Skrebneski's "Moving Pictures! : 40 Yearof Moving Pictures From The Chicago International Film Festival". If Cannes is about glamor; New York, intellectual seriousness; and Sundance, the "indie-film" spirit, Chicago is about the sheer diversity of global cinema. Many of the world's greatest films were first shown here. It is a tribute to Skrebneski's merchandising genius that he created posters which deliberately emphasized sex appeal, to draw attention to the Festival and get people interested in the films screened: It's cool and sexy to watch "foreign" films. For his posters, Skrebneski picked only the best models: Dolph Lundgren, Iman, Marcus Schenkenburg, The Brewer Twins, and David Sojka, in solo, duo, trio, and group nude portraits. Skrebneski's devotion to his adopted city is profound: He has also published books on the world-class Lyric Opera of Chicago ("Bravi!", 1994), its legendary theatre company ("Steppenwolf 25", 2004), and its legendary night life ("Richard's Bar", 2007). At his very best, Skrebneski is ranked with Richard Avedon and Irving Penn as a fashion, lifestyle, and portrait photographer. As a male and female nude photographer, he is firmly grounded in the great tradition of Horst and George Platt Lynes. The late great fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy paid Skrebneski the ultimate tribute anyone could hope for when he called the latter "an artist, not just a photographer". Cinema is the art of the 20th century, and it is celebrated by Skrebneski with love and reverence. An absolute "must-have" title for Skrebneski collectors. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws because they have been pored over. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with photographic plates. One of the greatest artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SKREBNESKI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0976326507.
