Synopsis:

This volume is a unique collection of photographs of gay couples from 1900 to 1960. While this is a time many now regard as the deeply closeted dark ages, these photos show gay couples who were clearly out - some camping it up for the camera while others in loving or clearly domestic poses. These photos were discovered and collected by the author in flea markets and garage sale, the names of the subjects and their photographers lost to time. He was intrigued by the fact that the pictures show couples posed hand in hand, revealing happiness, serenity and a surprising air of freedom so unlike the image of gays suffering in secret or fighting for their rights. This unique collection inspired Sebastien Lifshitz to restore to these nameless couples their voices in his documentary movie The Invisibles for which he was awarded the Cesar Award for Best Documentary in 2013.

About the Author: Sébastien Lifshitz is a contemporary artist and cinematographer. He received the Jean Vigo Prize in 1996 for Les corps ouverts and the Cesar Award in 2013 for The Invisibles.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Unpaginated. The first English language edition. First published in 2013 in French. Naturally, the photos speak and international language. Bound in pictorial dust jacket, over pictorial laminated boards with the jacket photo repeated on the top board. The book contains a collection of photos of gay and lesbian couples from about 1900 to 1960. The author discovered and collected the photos over the years from flea markets, garage sales. Consequently, there are no names for the subjects. Overall, the photos exude a feeling of ".happiness, serenity, and a surprising air of freedom." (jacket blurb) that does not reflect the reality in many cases. The photos are a mix of colour and black and white. The book was the source of the Lifshitz documentary by the same name. This is a near fine, to fine, copy in a very good dust jacket with light edge wear, and a stain and creasing at the top of the spine. Seller Inventory # 008463
