Summary:
Eugène Atget (1857-1927) spent nearly thirty years photographing details of often-inconspicuous buildings, side streets, cul-de-sacs, and public sculptures in his beloved Paris. Yet before his death, he was practically unknown outside of that city. His genius was first recognized about 1924 by two young Americans living and working in Paris—Man Ray and his studio assistant, Berenice Abbott—who appreciated the elements of contradiction, ambivalence, and ambiguity in Atget's images of Parisian architecture, streets, and parks. Presented in this volume are more than fifty of the Getty Museum's two hundred ninety-five pictures by Atget, with commentary on each image by Gordon Baldwin, associate curator of photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum. "In Focus: Eugène Atget" also contains a chronological overview of his life and an edited transcript of a colloquium on his career, with participants Baldwin; David Featherstone, independent editor and curator; photographer Robbert Flick, professor of art at the University of Southern California; independent scholar David Harris; Weston Naef, curator of photographs, Getty Museum; Francoise Reynaud, curator of photographs at the Musée Carnavalet, Paris; and Michael S. Roth, president, California College of Arts and Crafts.

Summary:
Ernest Batchelder's ceramic tile making enterprise began as a modest backyard venture in rural Pasadena, California but quickly grew to prominence far beyond. New York, Minneapolis and Vancouver would soon become host to major Batchelder architectural ceramic installations. His clients ranged from restaurants to churches to high-rise office buildings but perhaps the most striking installations remain the many fireplaces gracing modest American bungalows throughout the country. This book represents the first comprehensive overview of his tilemaking.

Summary:
The commercial architecture created by Wayne McAllister (1907-2000) is responsible for much of the character of Southern California. His Fred-and-Ginger nightclubs and glinting-steel-and-blazing-neon circular drive-ins brought Hollywood to life. His Sands Hotel in Las Vegas became the home of the Rat Pack; the mythology of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. owes a great deal to the swank glamour of the Copa Room and the Sands Hotel, one of McAllister's finest.
