Portfolio: The Annual of the Graphic Arts
The third and final issue of the legendary Portfolio magazine, which ran from 1950 to 1951. Created with the aim of publishing a magazine devoted entirely to art and design, Portfolio is notable for its broad range of content, inventive layout, and its blending of boundaries between the celebrated work of established artists and the everyday aesthetics of American vernacular culture.
This issue features articles on stereoscopy—complete with the original 3-D glasses—as well as features on Ben Shahn, Henri Cartier-Bresson's photographs of Asia, Jackson Pollock, Alexander Calder, and more. Item #1857.
