1989493Katonah N.Y.: The Katonah Gallery 1989. First. Paperback. Very Good. Aronson Boris. A small book—only 24 unpaginated pages—serving as the catalog for a small yet important exhibition. Boris Aronson started designing theater sets revolutionary Russia and then Germany working in the new Constructivist style before moving to New York in 1923. He started out in the more adventurous Jewish theaters of the city’s Lower East Side but by 1932 he was working on Broadway. By the end of his life in 1980 he had won six Tony Awards for scenic design had designed sets for not only major theater productions of such plays as “The Crucible†“The Diary of Anne Frank†“Cabaret†and “Fiddler on the Roof†but he had become great friends with the painter Marc Chagall whose work inspired some of his designs and worked closely with composer Kurt Weill director Harold Prince and dancer/choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov. New York Times theater critic Frank Rich not only served as curator for this exhibition he also thought Aronson so important that he co-wrote a biography of him two years before this exhibition of his drawings paintings photographs and models with Aronson’s widow Lisa Jalowetz Aronson. An extended piece by Rich about Aronson also starts off this catalog.<br /> <br /> Fourteen images of designs appear in this catalog in addition to the design on the cover; eleven of them are in full color and twelve of them are full page.

The pages are clean bright and besides the staining the the corners unmarked. No pages are loose or missing. See our photos for details. The Katonah Gallery paperback

1970218381970. African AmericanTheatre Black Theatre Production Archive ca. 1970s. Three silver gelatin prints. Each approx. 5 x 7 in. Photographer: Paul Buckholdt Atlanta Georgia. An evocative photographic archive capturing Black stage performance in mid-century Atlanta these three images-Circa 1970s-offer a rare and powerful visual document of regional Black theater. Shot by Atlanta-based photographer Paul Buckholdt the photographs document an ensemble of African American actors engaged in emotionally intense and physically expressive performances. The productions are unidentified but exhibit hallmarks of experimental and socially conscious theater with strong visual affinities to works influenced by the Black Arts Movement and Southern community theater traditions. The photographs appear to be of different productions but share some of the same actors possibly a repertory cast. The first photograph depicts a barefoot actor at center draped in classical robes surrounded by fellow performers in matching garments adopting stylized poses of deference or resistance-suggestive of ritual theater potentially a mythic drama. The second image features a domestic interior: a woman in a plaid dress is caught in a moment of confrontation flanked by two men-one seated behind a wooden chest the other looming behind her-capturing a charged tableau of familial or communal tension. The third image shows a five-man cast in a living room set gathered around a piano and seated furniture the action centered on a standing figure in suspenders gesturing emphatically suggesting a naturalistic setting with underlying political or intergenerational themes. Faint discoloration marks to two prints otherwise clear and well preserved. Overall very good condition. This small but significant archive offers an uncommon glimpse into Black theatrical productions in the American South presenting a visual record of cultural expression identity and resistance staged before predominantly local audiences. unknown
