Figure #1

Figure #1

(1951) - Photography Workshop, NY. 7" x 9", 52pgs, all B&W figure studies. "In the 50 pages of this experimental book, Figure #1, we publish an exhibit of photographs which we feel points to a new frontier in the field of figure photography. We do not pass these pictures off as deathless works of art but as pleasant images that have resulted from a certain amount of serious thinking on the part of several of our leading photographers". "The camera men were in agreement in their desire to produce a picture with a mood". "This content of meaning - emotional and aesthetic - is the quality that distinguishes Figure #1 from any previously published collection in the history of figure photography". Contributing photographers include Peter Basch, Earl Leaf, Philippe Halsman, Jerry Yulsman and other well known names.
