Jargon 89. Sixty-nine full-page black-and-white photographs (nudes, landscapes, street photography) with some writing by Bongé, introduction by A. D. Coleman, and afterword by Jonathan Williams. NEW, in publisher's mylar."I can think of few photographers--of Bongé's own generation or of those before and since--who have managed to contain successfully and simultaneously such opposite, independent lines within a continuum of imagery. One of the distinctions of Bonge's work as a whole is that these disparate components coexist therein, each considered in depth and finely realized yet equally weighted in their importance with his total oeuvre. Because they are such extremely different kinds of pictures, requiring divergent photographic strategies." -A.D. Coleman

Prospectus for Red/Gray (Jargon 3) which was published in an edition of 150 copies. This prospectus lists individuals involved (verse: Jonathan Williams; drawings: Paul Ellsworth; printing: Joel Oppenheimer's The Sad Devil Press) and directs purchasers to place orders with Dan Rice at Black Mountain College. Fine condition, never mailed, perhaps because the cuts were off—part of the final "a" in North Carolina is sliced away, and a thin line of unprinted white space remains at the top of the prospectus.
