The Theatre Art of Boris Aronson

NY, Knopf. 1987, 1st. (ISBN: 0394529138). Hard, 4to. First edition. Hard cover in dust jacket. Published NY: Knopf, 1987, first printing. 4to. 12" x 10 3/4", xi+323pp. illustrated with nearly 600 color and b/w photographs. Black cloth with gilt titles. Most theatergoers don't know that the scenic designer for the Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof got his start in revolutionary Russia's avant-garde. Son of the Grand Rabbi of Kiev, Aronson rejected Russian director Vsevolod Meyerhold's communal theater when he fell under the spell of constructivist set designer Alexandra Exter. Arriving in New York in 1923, Aronson faced the predicament of a cosmopolitan artist confronted with a commercial theater that was in many ways backward. Undaunted, he designed sets for Yiddish theater, then worked for Harold Clurman's Group Theatre on Odets's Awake and Sing. His association with Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince at last gave him a chance to apply Exter's ideas of remaking reality in personal terms by making the set a total environment for the show. Near fine in very good dust jacket. Near Fine/Very Good.
