Title: Brancusi: The Sculptor As Photographer
Description: Lyme, CT / London, UK, Callaway Editions / D. Grob, 1979. Paperback. White wraps with black lettering and bw illustration, 64 unnumbered pages, bw illustrations throughout. "Given Brancusis position of pre-eminence in the history of modern sculpture, it was perhaps inevitable that his work as a photographer would remain overshadowed. To historians and connoissers of photography it was virtually unknown until the 1970s, and to the few historians and critics of modern sculpture who were aware of ths photgraphic oeuvre, its interest was (and not without reason, of course) primarily documentary. With few exceptions, after all, the subject of these photographs is the sculpture, the sculptor himself, and the world of the studio they shared. There seemed little reason, therefore, to consider the photographs as anything but ancillary to the study of the sculpture." - from the introduction. Good+ (Ex art library with sticker on front cover and inside rear cover and light markings; wraps and textblock are lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean; binding is solid.) .
