BRODOVITCH, Alexey (1898-1971). Ballet. New York: J. J. Augustin, [1945]
The first edition, complete with rare slipcase, of Brodovitch’s legendary photobook, depicting the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo and other famous dance companies. Shooting both rehearsals and performances with a hand-held 35 mm Contax camera, Brodovitch’s work here is “'one of the most successful attempts at suggesting motion in photography (The Photobook).” His use of photographic imperfections for effect—from graininess to lens flare—prefigured the photographic styles of the 50s and 60s. 101 Books 110-13; The Photobook vol. 1, 240-41.
Oblong quarto (215 x 280mm). 104 black and white photographs. Original board with cloth spine, with original French-fold dust-jacket pasted down, as issued, original cardboard slipcase with printed paper label on the upper side.
