His singular masterpiece. "In 1961, Dave Heath assembled the photographs that he had been making throughout the 1950's into a poetic sequence. The original plan for the book, as he envisioned it, would be a large format, as big as LIFE Magazine was at the time. When the book was eventually published, it was considerably reduced in size. Using the maquette from 1961 and the set of master prints, the book has been restored to the format of Dave Heath's original design" (Publisher's blurb). Among the handful of great photographers, Dave Heath has been one of the least prolific, an admirable feat in itself, considering that the medium inherently encourages constant picture-taking, endless repetition, and non-stop proliferation. In addition to his "Korea" Portfolio, the photographs in this collection represent the very best of the photographer's relatively slim but unparalleled output. "Dave Heath has combined the freedom and spontaneity of the small camera approach with a rare formal intensity and precision. His pictures possess stability, simplicity, and tremendous emotional force" (Museum of Modern Art). An absolute "must-have" title for Dave Heath collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue pen-marker on the title page by Dave Heath. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great art photography book.

Hardcover. Condition: vg- to near fine. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. [100 pages]. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over grey cloth with black lettering on spine. Pictorial title page. In 1961, Dave Heath assembled the b/w photographs that he had been making throughout the fifties into a poetic book. The result is a tragic, comic and lyrical "Dialogue With Solitude." "It begins with a photographic prologue that sets the theme: the solitude of the individual. Photographs of lovers pursue the theme, suggesting that even this relationship may not be enough to alter the essential loneliness of the soul. A series of photographs taken in Korea shows the frustration, hardship and ennui of Army life. A group of Negro portraits, and another group exploring the bewilderments of youth, further reveal the undeniable and haunting aspects of alienation. The stunning photographs are arranged in ten sections and are designed to be viewed in sequence. They follow a progression from weariness and despair, to anger, agony, and in the last few photographs, to the joy and jubilation of shared experience. Each section is complemented by a quotation from diverse writers, among them Yeats, Rilke, Hazlitt and James Baldwin. Between words and pictures the common denominator is always a common humanity" (from the publishers). Jacket with some smaudging, as well as light rubbing, creasing, and minor chipping to extremities. Back cover of the jacket lightly stained. Interior with the most minor age toning to the edges of pages. Dj in very good-, binding and interior in overall near fine condition.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. np, 83 duotone illustrations. Designed by Dave Heath. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. From Hugh Edwards' foreword: "A Dialogue With Solitude is a self-portrait in which the artist himself never really appears, but is revealed and interpreted by every detail. From the beginning of the sequence to its end, the viewer accompanies his unseen guide, out of darkness and troubled sleep, on a pilgrimage through an unpredictable environment where contradiction seems to be the only law. It is a solitude crowded with human beings, all of whom he recognizes and understands, but with whom he can make no exchange other than the gestures of an almost mechanical ritual. Along the way are pauses, marked by poetic quotations". Beginning with the Philadelphia native's tour of duty during the Korean war, "Dialogue"'s dark, murky images capture ten years of winding through an America seen through the shadows of Barnum, Sartre and Camus. With resonances of Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Lisette Model and Ed Van Der Elsken, Dave Heath's landmark book was a truly an innovative work upon its unheralded 1965 appearance, and remains one of the highlights of Post-war photographic literature. A bright, handsome example of the uncommon first edition (cited on page 104 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II" and page 43 of "From Fair to Fine: 20th Century Photography Books That Matter") lacking its fragile dust jacket and showing a very slight crimp to the tips of the boards at the lower foredge corners. It has been priced accordingly. Photography Monograph.

First edition of the photographer's seminal work, one of the great photobooks of the second half of the twentieth century. Tall quarto, original gray cloth. Signed by Dave Heath on the half-title page. Fine in a very good dust jacket that shows some light rubbing to the front and rear panel. A Dialogue with Solitude is an assemblage of photographs into poetic sequence, entailing a mere hundred pages. Dave Heath had envisioned it in a larger format, and its meager size was not his original intent. Regardless, it was an instant hit, and collectors have sought it out for over four decades. It includes an introduction by Hugh Edwards, and a letter from Robert Frank.
