Synopsis
This book reveals an overlooked, playful and bizarre side of Philippe Halsman, one of the most innovative photographers of the 20th century. Most of the images in this distinctive volume which include private and experimental photographs, decontextualized advertisements, outtakes from famous sittings, contact sheets and family snapshots have never been seen as a body of work in their own right. One of Philippe Halsmans many aphorisms, The way a photographer sees is an extension of his character, is apt; these photographs not only capture his character, they bring to life the essence of his era. Intermingled with 100 fine reproductions of Halsmans photographs are numerous quotes by the photographer as well as luminaries like Salvador Dalí, Jean Cocteau, Martha Graham and Alfred Hitchcock. All quotes are hand illustrated by Oliver Halsman Rosenberg in a unique brush font that is inspired by Japanese calligraphy and handmade zines. Contributing to the well-considered and intimate feel of this publication are the use of yellow throughout the book, inspired by a wall in Halsmans former photo studio; the blue floral endpapers, which were taken from the fabric of Halsmans couch; and the use of a typewriter font that evokes the correspondence found during the archiving process.

Product Description
The photographer Philippe Halsman (1906-1979) is known for his collaboration with Dalí in the 1940s and 1950s, for portraits of prominent figures including Albert Einstein and JF Kennedy and for the famous jump portraits. This volume by his grandson presents Halsmans unknown work: more than 110 images mined from the photographers own archive, many dating from his years with Dalí, and accompanied by his handwritten texts reflecting on photography and creativity.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. 'Unknown Halsman' reveals an overlooked, playful and bizarre side of Philippe Halsman, one of the most innovative photographers of the twentieth century. Most previous publications on Halsman feature his iconic portraiture, which appeared on the cover of 'Life' and other top American magazines from the 40s through the 70s. He is also remembered for his groundbreaking Surrealist photo collaborations with Salvador Dali. Edited by his grandson Oliver Halsman Rosenberg (who has spent the past two years organizing the archive and discovering the depth of the celebrated photographer's unpublished oeuvre), most of the images in this distinctive volume--which include private and experimental photographs, decontextualized advertisements, outtakes from famous sittings, contact sheets and family snapshots--have never been seen as a body of work in their own right. One of Philippe Halsman's many aphorisms, 'The way a photographer sees is an extension of his character,' is apt; these photographs not only capture his character, they bring to life the essence of his era. Oliver Halsman Rosenberg, also an artist, has lent his graphic sense to this publication, creating a uniquely designed and sequenced monograph that is both colorful and spirited. Intermingled with 100 fine reproductions of Halsman's photographs are numerous quotes by the photographer as well as luminaries like Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau, Martha Graham and Alfred Hitchcock. All quotes are hand illustrated by Oliver Halsman Rosenberg in a unique brush font that is inspired by Japanese calligraphy and hand-made zines. Contributing to the well-considered and intimate feel of this publication are the use of yellow throughout the book, inspired by a wall in Halsman's former photo studio; the blue floral endpapers, which were taken from the fabric of Halsman's couch; and the use of a typewriter font that evokes the correspondence found during the archiving process. Oliver Halsman Rosenberg also contributes an illustrated essay. A major European multi-venue retrospective is in the works for 2009-2010. Born in Riga, Latvia in 1906, Philippe Halsman discovered his passion and talent for photography as a teenager. He moved to Paris in 1930 and there began his career as a portrait photographer. Soon after, his work began appearing in magazines such as 'Vogue,' 'Vuand' and 'Voila.' His career was brought to a grinding halt when Hitler's troops arrived in Paris in 1940. Halsman escaped to New York with little but his camera. Shooting for 'Life' in the early 1940s, he quickly established himself in the New York photo scene. Halsman's disarming ability to expose the personality of his subjects without pretense quickly made him one the most sought after photographers by the nation's cultural elite, including Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Audrey Hepburn, Alfred Hitchcock, John F. Kennedy and Andy Warhol. Following a major retrospective at the International Center of Photography, he died in New York in 1979 at the age of 73. This collection of private and experimental photographs, decontextualized advertisements, out-takes from famous sittings, contact sheets and family snapshots by Philippe Halsman (1906-1979) reveals an overlooked, playful and bizarre side of one of the most innovative photographers of the 20th century.Distributed Art Publishers BEAUTIFUL COPY!!!
