Title: Philippe Halsman's Jump Book
Description: Andre Deutsch, London, 1959. Hardcover. Pp: 94. 'Philippe Halsman's Jump Book' showcases a unique and playful project by the celebrated photographer Philippe Halsman, known for his exceptional portrait photography. Published in 1959, this collection features Halsman's inventive concept of photographing famous figures in the midst of a jump, capturing their airborne moments against a stark background. The book includes over a hundred photographs of celebrities, politicians, and artists, such as Marilyn Monroe, Richard Nixon, and Salvador Dalí, each depicted in the unexpected levity of a jump. Halsman believed that when his subjects jumped, they dropped their public personas, revealing a more genuine, unguarded self. Accompanied by Halsman`s witty commentary and observations, the book is not only a photographic novelty but also a fascinating glimpse into the personalities of some of the 20th century's most iconic figures. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
