KUHN, Fritz. Vision and Form: Nature and the Manmade

Item Details

Description

KUHN, Fritz. Sehen und Gestalten: Natur und Menschenwerk [Vision and Form: Nature and the Manmade], Leipzig, Germany: Verlag E. A. Seemann, 1951. Hardcover (gold-stamped green cloth and paper over boards), 12 x 8 ¾ inches, 156 pages, screen-gravure illustrations, dustjacket. Second edition. With a ten-page introduction by KUHN, this is largely a picture book, in the tradition of fellow Germans Karl Blossfeldt and Albert Renger-Patzsch. It comprises many images from nature, and printed in high-quality gravure, but also pairings of natural subjects and manmade objects. Among the later are a spider web and a church ceiling and a pine cone and a building spire. The majority of the pictures are by KUHN, but Blossfeldt, Renger-Patzsch, Alfred Ehrhardt, and other German modern photographers also contributed. The first edition also appeared in 1951, and the book was reprinted as late as 1970, in its eighth edition. Fritz Kuhn (1910 -1967) was a German photographer and goldsmith who apparently spent his entire life in Berlin. Dustjacket has light edge wear, tears, and chips.
