About This Item
C4c: Amphoto. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1961. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 4to. Published by Amphoto, New York. 1961. 90 pgs. Illustrated with Black and White Plates. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear, rubbing present to the DJ especially around the extremities (foxing and staining present to the edges of the DJ). Bound in illustrated paper covered boards. Boards lightly rubbed and worn. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid. Perspective of Nudes (1961). In several of these photographs he placed his extremely wide-angle fixed-focus camera at close range to the human body; this caused distortion and transformed the human figure into a series of abstract designs. In other photographs from this time, however, Brandt made the distorted human form become an integral element of a stark landscape of cliffs and rocky beach. Bill Brandt was the preeminent British photographer of the twentieth century, a founding father of photographys modernist tradition whose half-century-long career defies neat categorization. This publication presents the photographers entire oeuvre, with special emphasis on his investigation of English life in the 1930s and his innovative late nudes. EB; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
