Paperback, small quarto, 213pp., monochrome illustrations. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. One of the first to plunge underwater with a camera to bring the subaquatic world to the screen, maverick scientific documentary filmmaker Jean Painleve captured the throes of a male seahorse giving birth and the mating habits of hermaphrodite mollusks. His lyrical and instructive animal behaviour films set to avant-garde scores were much admired by Surrealist contemporaries such as Artaud, Bunuel and Vigo. This thorough biography covers all aspects of Painleve's remarkable sui generis body of work. Includes many stills from the films. 9780262523189.
