About This Item
London: The Royal Photographic Society, 1931. Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. Large portfolio containing six beautiful, mounted photogravures, with one each by Koppitz, Burgess, Leventon, Lambert, Anderson, and Kales. Each is protected by the original interleafing spider-webbed glassine. Gilt-lettered brown wrappers (14" x 20") (36 x 51.5 cm) with a mounted photographic reproduction on the front cover; a printed introductory sheet, with J. Dudley Johnson's facsimile signature, laid in. Gilt titles on cover have become dulled, very slight dogears to corners; all tipped-in plates as new. Rare. "Bewegungsstudie (Movement Study) is the signature image from Rudolf Koppitz's oeuvre. The photograph's sophisticated composition contains elements of Modernism, Pictorialism, and Surrealism, and also relates to the Viennese Secession and the Wienner Werkstatte movements in its stylized grace and perfection of craft. Taken in 1925, it became Koppitz's most famous image during his lifetime." [auction catalogue, 2020]..
