141. DOMON, Ken: Hiroshima.
Tokyo: Kenko-sha, 1958. Cloth in dustjacket, designed by Miro, 54 pp.
It took some time before a photographer would take on the task of shooting a series of
images dealing with the human impact of the bombing of Hiroshima. Although he was a
tiny man, Ken Domon had an extraordinary strength of character and he became the most
influential photographer of the immediate postwar years. Domon advocated the “absolutely
unstaged snapshot” and championed the ‘objective’, social realist photography that
became so popular in Japan in the late 1940s and early 1950s. With his direct, unflinching
approach, he was the first to undertake a major project on Hiroshima. The series was
published in a 1958 book, Hiroshima (Tokyo: Kenko-sha), which deals with the physical
destruction of the city, but focuses mainly on the lives of the Hibakusha (the atomic bomb
survivors). - € 1.500
142. DORR, Nell: Mother and child.
New York, Harper & Brothers, 1954. Cloth in dustjacket. 89 pp. Tipped-in statement from
the author mounted on verso of photo-illustrated front endpaper.
From the writings from a Nell Dorr website “Nell Dorr, in Mother and Child, seeks to
capture the affection and affinity between a mother and a child. Nell Dorr used her camera
to expose this affinity ‘Become as one, you and your camera, clear as glass and selfless. ‘
The maternal connection is a ‘divine mystery’ to Nell Dorr. ‘I see woman as the yeast of
life without which all the dough in the world would not rise. The mother gives love to her
child, inspiration to man and beauty to the world’. Very good copy, with library stamps

the time. - € 350

150. EHRHARDT, Alfred: Das Watt.
Hamburg, Verlag Heinrich Ellermann, 1937. Cloth in dustjacket. Introduction by Dr.
Kurt Dingelstadt.
“The modernist New Vision style was characterized by a tendency to find subjects both in
the city and in nature that made good abstract or semi-abstract photographs… The best of
this genre is arguably Alfred Ehrhardt’s Das Watt… His photographs of a commonplace
subject—mudflats after the tide has receded—are simple, striking and carefully crafted…
He chooses the low sun of morning or evening, shooting either directly into the light or
with strong sidelighting to make the most of the ripple effects left by the departing tide”
(Parr & Badger, 112). Dustjacket damaged, missing chips of paper, mainly on the front.
No slipcase present. - € 295

copy. - € 495

Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Count Basie. “The 1950s constituted a golden
age for jazz music. The decade was also renowed for classic small-camera photography,
much of it as rough and ready as the best experimental jazz. The two art forms combine to
perfection in Ed van der Elsken’s gem of a book, “Jazz”… (From: The photobook: A history,

“Wherever in the world photography is taken seriously, the work of Ed van der Elsken is

be. “Reference: SWEET LIFE. Harry N. Abrams, New York, NY. - € 375
