Norman Cousins 1915-1990 ten black white photographs noted American journalist
This is a rare collection of black and white mounted photos I acquired from an estate in Bel Air, California some years ago, all bearing on the reverse a green stamp “From the Estate of Norman Cousins”, sizes ranging from 14″ by 7 1/2″ to 17″ by 13″. He was a talented and avid photographer, though it is not for his photographic talents that he is best remembered today. These ten works, according to hand-written notations on the reverse of the boards, were taken in Nagasaki (Japan), Korea, Laos, Ethiopia, India, and the USSR. Only one is dated (1962), but that gives some clue as to when these were created. Unfortunately they have been poorly handled over the years, and are offered now in as-is condition. A number have sticky drips, abrasions, and other serious flaws, but several are in displayable condition. Most have thin strips of wood affixed to the reverse of the boards, and hanging hardware, as if to have been displayed in a photo show (and that term also appears on the reverse of several). Cousins, born in New Jersey, by 1940 went to work for the Saturday Review of Literature, later to become known simply as Saturday Review. By 1942 he was its editor-in-chief, a position he held until 1972. During the 1960’s, Cousins was an unofficial ambassador between the Vatican, Kremlin and White House. He won numerous peace prizes during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Kennedy complimented him on his work, as did Albert Einstein, who called him to Princeton. During much of his life, Cousins suffered from heart disease and connective tissue disorders. This personal journey through ill health inspired his work at the University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine. This collection of powerful images represents a rare opportunity to acquire work by a very talented Renaissance Man of the mid 20th century. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs”. The seller is “jonbergfineart” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States, Canada.
