A glorious and nostalgic celebration of a defining period in American car culture--the 1950s to the 1970s, the golden age of Detroit's icons of the road--when automobile design was at its peak and the car itself was synonymous with a vision of success in America. Auto America offers a compelling look at three decades (the 1950s, '60s, and '70s) of America's fascination with the automobile. At a time when self-driving vehicles and climate change are transforming driving around the world, John G. Zimmerman's pictures capture the optimism and even utopianism of a beloved period in American car culture. Many of Zimmerman's photographs were originally taken for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated magazines and highlight diverse aspects of America's auto industry at its zenith; they feature not only iconic cars of the era, which Zimmerman chronicled comprehensively at car shows and in studio assignments throughout the period, but also a behind-the-scenes look at the people who designed, built, collected, exhibited, and raced them. With more than 200 photographs and drawing on the John G. Zimmerman Archive's collection--including his best-known photographs of Fords, Chryslers, and GMs in their heyday alongside ephemera, tear sheets, and outtakes from his assignments--the book celebrates the automobile's central place in American culture during those decades when the timeless silhouettes of classic cars ruled the roads.
Co-published with the Philadelphia Museum of ArtWhen the Philadelphia lawyer John G. Johnson began to collect art in the late nineteenth century, he defied contemporary taste by acquiring Italian paintings from the early Renaissance. He eventually donated his distinguished collection to the City of Philadelphia, and it is now housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.Although there have been several catalogues of these paintings, including one by Bernhard Berenson in 1913, Carl Brandon Strehlke, Adjunct Curator of the Johnson Collection, has prepared the first complete scholarly examination. His discussion of such art historical questions as dating and attribution combines extensive archival research with information he gained through his technical study of the paintings with Mark S. Tucker, the Museum’s Vice Chairman of Conservation and Senior Conservator of Paintings.Strehlke’s introduction sheds new light on Johnson’s collecting and traces the history of the acquisition, conservation, and installation of the Philadelphia paintings. Subsequent chapters situate detailed discussions of the pictures within the context of richly detailed biographies. All the paintings are furnished with a full description; technical report; provenance; art historical commentary; discussion of related works; comparative illustrations; and bibliography. This extensively illustrated book also provides an appendix of punch marks and a bibliography of some 2,500 entries.
