Paris + Klein, William Klein, 1st US Edition, D.A.P., 2003

About the Item

First US Edition, published by D.A.P. / Distributed Art Publishers, New York, 2003. Text in English. This first US edition of William Klein's dynamic and influential portrait of the city of Paris is a stunning visual tribute to the life of the streets. Paris held a place in Klein's imagination from a young age, seeing a life for himself there in the footsteps of Man Ray, Henry Miller and Gertrude Stein. Demobbing from the U.S. Army in 1948, he decided to stay there and become a painter, experience which eventually fed back into his photography for a unique painterly, experimental, photographic style: ironic, strange, violent, humorous and ultimately moving. Hardback in publisher's original dust jacket, text in English, around 350 pages, illustrated heavily in colour and black and white throughout.
