Presents "Herbert List: Photographs From The 1930's". The photographer's ground-breaking, early body of work distilled to its essence. Although widely known as a master of the delicate - and compared to our time, discreet - male nude, Herbert List's genius was more wide-ranging from the beginning. This elegant Catalog gives us a wonderful glimpse of it: Landscape, landmark, ancient ruin, portrait, and of course, his influential male nudes, without which, Bruce Weber would not have been possible. In lesser hands, these serenely dream-like, symbolic, and poetic images (notably, a goldfish in a bowl photographed against a panoramic view of the sea, microcosm and macrocosm captured in one "instant classic" image) would have easily descended to banality. List was also his own articulate exponent: The quotations from his writings are felicitous and insightful: "If one is perceptive as regards the supernatural, one cannot deny that - despite the technical aspects - there is a profound element of magic in photography" (Herbert List) . Acclaimed as the first modern photographer by Stephen Spender, Herbert List is now widely regarded as a timeless, canonical figure. An absolute "must-have" title for Herbert List collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 3000 copies. This title is an art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's green plastic wrappers, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws ("Very Good") because the white-dominant design soils easily. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with duotone plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. . ISBN 0944680496., Robert Miller Gallery, 1996, 5<
