A small book—only 24 unpaginated pages—serving as the catalog for a small yet important exhibition. Boris Aronson started designing theater sets revolutionary Russia and then Germany, working in the new Constructivist style, before moving to New York in 1923. He started out in the more adventurous Jewish theaters of the city’s Lower East Side but by 1932 he was working on Broadway. By the end of his life, in 1980, he had won six Tony Awards for scenic design, had designed sets for not only major theater productions of such plays as "The Crucible," "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Cabaret," and "Fiddler on the Roof," but he had become great friends with the painter Marc Chagall (whose work inspired some of his designs) and worked closely with composer Kurt Weill, director Harold Prince, and dancer/choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov. New York Times theater critic Frank Rich not only served as curator for this exhibition, he also thought Aronson so important that he co-wrote a biography of him two years before this exhibition of his drawings, paintings, photographs, and models with Aronson’s widow, Lisa Jalowetz Aronson. An extended piece by Rich about Aronson also starts off this catalog. Fourteen images of designs appear in this catalog in addition to the design on the cover; eleven of them are in full color and twelve of them are full page. Although this book is new, it does show signs of shelf wear on the front cover, particularly at the spine. There some cosmetic damage to the upper right corner of the cover and faint smudging upper corners of several other pages. However, there is no damage to the images themselves—they are prinstine. The pages are clean, bright, and besides the staining the the corners, unmarked. No pages are loose or missing. See our photos for details.…
