About This Item

(BALLEN, ROGER). Ballen, Roger. ROGER BALLEN: BOYHOOD. New York: Chelsea House Publishers, 1979. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Very Good. 96pp, 79 b&w illustrations. Art Direction by Susan Lusk. Designed by Joyce C. Weston. "Boyhood is a powerful and perceptive statement. In photographs and stories, Roger Ballen leads us across the continents of Europe, Asia, and North America in search of boyhood. Here, with keen insight and masterly skill, he succeeds in capturing the essence of boyhood in a series of timeless images that transcend social and cultural particularities". If you are knowingly searching for this title, could we add any more insight than the jacket description for "Boyhood"? While Ballen has subsequently become renowned for his sobering portrait images of the denizens of his adopted South Africa, this, his first book from 1979 is where it all began. The back cover features laudatory quotes from Andre Kertesz, Bruce Davidson, and Elliot Erwitt. A bright, most handsome example of the book itself whose neatly price-clipped dust jacket shows some very light wear and rubbing. 0-87754-091-8 Inventory Number: 018231
