Original brown leatherette housed in matching paper-covered light brown slipcase with gilt lettering on spine. Title page printed in brown to transparent parchment. Original b/w photograph of artist 7 5/8 x 6" on dedication page. "The weeds I drew for this book I picked at random. Each one held unique mysteries for me and each one differed dramatically in shape and structure from the other. "Burn them! Tear them out! Destroy them!"-This is the reaction of most people to the mere sight of weeds. What I think and feel about wild plants I hope I have been able to convey through the way I have drawn them." Artist. Silver elaborates on the process of the contemporary architect to arrive at the form of his buildings and Saul Levine on "Nature seen through the telephoto lens of a mind familiar with the miracle of fertile structure found in such profusion during the height of summer" seeing the "remarkable efficiency of nature's construction." Beautifully produced book printed to heavy card stock yellow for the text and cream featuring the original lithographs. Light cracking at joints of binding and two inch chip at tail of spine. Else in fine condition. Hamilton Lithographers hardcover
ref. 41041Freren: Luca Verlag 1982. Limited edition. Hardcover. g to vg. 1/100. Folio 12 x 9 1/2". 110 2pp. Original full brown cloth with white lettering to spine. Limitation page hand-numbered No. 37/100. Book housed in its matching publisher's slipcase with b/w photographic reproduction pasted onto front cover. Completed in 1936 in Palestine where Swiss Avant-Garde portrait photographer Helmar Lerski had immigrated in 1932 "Metamorphosis through Light" is a stunning 'tour de force' in which Lerski carried his talent to extremes. With the help of up to 16 mirrors and filters he directed the natural light of the sun in constant new variations and refractions onto his model the Bernese-born at the time out-of-work draughtsman and light athlete Leo Uschatz. Thus he achieved in a series of over 140 close-ups "hundreds of different faces including that of a hero a prophet a peasant a dying soldier an old woman and a monk from one single original face" Siegfried Kracauer in "Theory of Film" Oxford University Press 1960 p. 162. According to Lerski these pictures were intended to provide proof "that the lens does not have to be objective that the photographer can with the help of light work freely characterize freely according to his inner face." Laid in at rear inside a white envelope is a splendid silver gelatin print 10 3/4 x 8 1/2" produced by German photographer André Gelpke from Helmar Lerski's original plate. The print depicts a close-up portrait of Leo Uschatz not featured in the book. The verso has been hand-captioned numbered and signed by Gelpke. One of 100 copies of which this is No. 37. Minor shelf wear and sporadic fraying along edges of slipcase. Head of spine slightly bumped not affecting pages throughout. Text in German and English. Slipcase in overall good binding in good to very good interior and silver gelating print in very good condition. About the author: Helmar Lerski 1871-1956 was born in Strasburg then part of the German empire as Israel Schmuklerski. His parents were Jewish immigrants of Polish origin. In 1876 the family moved to Zurich Switzerland where they obtained Swiss citizenship. Lerski moved to New York in 1893 at the age of twenty-two to work as an actor changing his name in 1896. He spent several years with a German theatre company in Chicago and Milwaukee where he met his first wife a photographer. In 1911 Lerski began to experiment with photography by adapting dramatic stage lighting techniques to portrait photographs of fellow actors. In 1912 Lerski was encouraged to pursue a career in photography by Rudolph Dührkoop who had come to St. Louis to demonstrate his photographic techniques. In 1914/15 he taught German language and literature at the University of Texas in Austin. In 1915 after more than twenty years in America Lerski moved to Berlin and after showing his portraits was asked to become a cameraman at the UFA studios where he worked as a cameraman and expert for special effects for many films including Fritz Lang's movie Metropolis 1927. Lang wanted to insert the actors into shots of miniatures of skyscrapers and other buildings so Lerski used specially made mirrors to create the illusion of actors interacting with huge realistic-looking sets. With fascism on the rise Lerski immigrated to Palestine where he worked as a director and cameraman for documentary films. After the war Lerski moved back to Zurich where he spent the rest of his life. Luca Verlag hardcover
