2001ref. 369099Cambridge MA: The MIT Press 2001. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 144 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Clean tight copy in publisher's shrinkwrap. Karl Blossfeldt 1865-1932 achieved overnight fame in the late 1920s with the first publication of his photographs of plants. Those photographs which revealed the inner structures of the organic forms immediately made him a pioneer of New Objectivity―an innovative movement in art and photography of the 1920s and 1930s. Blossfeldt however was neither a trained photographer nor a botanist. He was a sculptor and art professor who did his photographic work to generate teaching material for his students.The publication of this book is the result of an extraordinary event―the 1997 discovery in Blossfeldt's estate of sixty-one previously unknown collages in virtually mint condition of photographic contact prints arranged on large cardboard sheets. Blossfeldt apparently used these to study the relation and similarity of the photographs and to compare them graphically and aesthetically. On some Blossfeldt had made marks or handwritten notations. Others show lines for cropping. The collages published here for the first time unveil a hidden treasure of modern photography and cast fresh light on the systematic approach Blossfeldt used in his photographic studies. All collages are reproduced in four colors. Introducing the book is an essay by Swiss art historian Ulrike Meyer-Stump a Lecturer at the Zurich University of the Arts.

Hardcover. no dust jacket FAIR condition only although solidly bound and internally clean except for the initials of I guess a one-time owner on the front pastedown; externally though it's kind of a mess with a number of small paper bits stuck to the front cover which is also quite soiled and a large ugly stain on the rear cover I suspect the paper bits are remnants of the no-longer-present dust jacket which was probably moisture-adhered to the book at some point. Novel about a sophisticated New York marriage that turns sour.

For those who are interested in such minutae the dedicatee of this novel "E.V.H." was undoubtedly her second of four husbands Ernest Victor Heyn. This novel was her first entree to Hollywood as it was announced that Paramount had purchased the movie rights although no movie was ever made but it was RKO's later purchase of the Collier's story that became BRINGING UP BABY that firmly established her screenwriting career. .
