by Wride, Tim B.
Los Angeles: LACMA, 1998. Paperback. VG- ex-library copy with stamps and labels, wear to corners and edges.. Color wraps. 148 pp. 109 bw plates. A great book--what a terrific look into the kitschy advertising of the past! Taking cues from film noir, 50's propaganda classroom films, and filling far beyond the call of duty the demand for irrepressibly happy photos of well-groomed white people enjoying retail products far more than seems humanly possible, this book is great. A superb reference on Bartholomew and his seminal work.
