About This Item
New York: B Martin Pedersen/ Graphis Press, (1997) First edition. Folio, 218, [3] pp, profusely illustrated from photographs (some color). Publisher's black paper over boards backed in black cloth lettered in blind on the spine, in pictorial dust jacket.
Three corners lightly bruised, otherwise very good or better in dust jacket with a couple of tears without loss adjacent to the spine, light edge wear, & old cello tape on the verso (seemingly without purpose), about very good
"It isn't enough to say that Howard Schatz admires dancers He adores them Schatz' pictures are not about dance; they are photographs of dancers as phenomenal objects: graceful and powerful; explosive or ecstatic in motion, elegant and elemental while at rest There is more to dance than bodies, but without bodies there is no dance And however much natural beauty a dancer may have, years of training and a daily regimen that might break an Olympic rower, produce human forms that are nothing less than masterpieces of kinetic sculpture " ~Owen Edwards, from the dust jacket
