Steidl GmbH & Co.OHGerschienen am27.06.2024
This is an exacting facsimile-and first re-print overall-of Baron Adolph de Meyer s especially rare book Le Prélude à l après-midi d un faune, first published in 1914 in a handcrafted edition of 1,000. Today only six copies are known to exist, and this Steidl edition recreates a book from Karl Lagerfeld s personal collection.De Meyer s book is a privileged record of Vaslav Nijinsky s performance in the first ballet he choreographed: Le Prélude à l après-midi d un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) for Serge Diaghilev s famous Ballets Russes, set to a score by Claude Debussy and inspired by a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé. The ballet debuted in Paris in 1912 and shocked audiences and critics with its eroticism and unconventional choreography. De Meyer s 30 photos capture Nijinsky s animalistic performance as the faun surrounded by prancing nymphs, and are an important record of Léon Bakst s Symbolist sets and costumes.In this new edition Gerhard Steidl recreates the original, published by Editions Paul Iribe & Cie, with as much attention to detail as possible. Le Prélude is a hand-stitched brochure with a hand-folded dust jacket. Iribe s collotypes (photomechanical ink prints) on vellum paper are recreated in offset as quadratone prints tipped-in by hand onto Somerset Cotton paper, mould-made by St Cuthbert s Mill-all in a limited edition of 1,000 books.mehr

Autor

Baron Adolph de Meyer (1868?1946) is primarily known as an accomplished fashion photographer and society portraitist of sitters including Rita Lydig, Josephine Baker and John Barrymore. De Meyer relocated from Dresden to London in 1896, where he joined the Royal Photographic Society and the Linked Ring, a society of British Pictorialist photographers. From 1903 he corresponded with Alfred Stieglitz, eventually joining his Photo-Secession. In 1914 de Mayer became Vogue?s first full-time photographer, in New York, where he remained until moving to Paris in 1921 for Harper?s Bazaar. He returned to America following unrest in Europe and spent his later years in Hollywood; today de Meyer is a paragon for many contemporary fashion photographers.
