About This Item
Tucson, Arizona: Nazraeli Press, 2000. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine to fine condition. 1/2000 with original signed and numbered (30) matte-surface gelatin silver print of "Crocus 'Jeanne D'Arc" with tissue guards placed into photo corners at bottom of clamshell box. Elephant Folio. Unpaginated. Original off-white cloth with white lettering and original photograph laid to cover, in matching slipcase with silver print and white lettering on cover. Bright green endpapers. Volume two of van Dongen's botanical photo book trilogy Alba Nero, Vulgaris and Nudare, with an introduction by John Behrendt.
In this volume van Dongen introduces thirty-two full page duotone portraits of flowers in extraordinary close-ups printed on matte paper. "The title of the book, "Vulgaris", means common, but I suspect van Dongen intends a bit of irony here. Granted, the flowers are all familiar enough; there is not a rare one among them. But the portraits are anything but ordinary." (Behrendt). Minor blemishes to clamshell box.
