Herbert List JUNGE MANNER Rare Photo Book (Von Gloeden, Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts)
Item History & Price
From my collection to yours...
Scarce artistic/erotic JUNGE MANNER photo book featuring black-and-white portraits of nude and swimsuit-clad young men by German photographer Herbert List. The oversized book measures 28.5 cm x 36 cm, has 71 pages long with 72 photogravure plates.
I picked this beauty up in a rare/used book store on my last trip to Tokyo. Condition is used but good, with some fading and wear to the paper covers (as pictured), though interior loo...ks great for its age. All images are of the book for sale. Will ship well protected so you receive in the same shape I've been keeping it.
About the artist:
Herbert List's austere, classically-posed black-and-white compositions, particularly of male nudes, taken in Italy and Greece have been highly formative for modern photography, with contemporary fashion photographers like Herb Ritts being clearly influenced by List's style. He is also noted for his erotic street photography. He began taking portraits of friends and shooting still lifes, influenced by the Bauhaus and surrealist movements. He used male models, draped fabric, and masks along with double-exposures.He has explained that his photos were composed visions where [my] arrangements try to capture the magical essence inhabiting and animating the world of appearances.”
