Laurence Salzmann Prints and Multiples

A folio of photographic images printed on art paper. Lawrence Salzmann Consolidated-Drake Press, Philadelphia, 1978, first edition A portfolio of black-and-white photographs with printed titles, each separate sheet measuring 12 1/2" x 9 1/2", enclosed in a folder: High quality printing press. Laurence Salzmann is a native of Philadelphia who has worked as a photographer/ filmmaker since the early 1960's. His projects document the lives of little known groups in America and abroad. He looks at the lives of people ranging from occupants of single room occupancy hotels in New York City to transhumant shepherds in Transylvania, residents of a Mexican village, and Philadelphia Mummers. His photographic study of a nearly extinct Jewish community in Romania was published as The Last Jews of Radauti by Dial/Doubleday in 1983, with text by Ayse Gürsan-Salzmann. His most recent work in Cuba is soon to be published in book form by Blue Flower Press under the title: La Lucha/The Struggle. Salzmann's photographic method is deeply informed by his background in anthropology and involves long term participation in and observation of groups or events. His work illustrates how lives and events are shaped by the environments and conditions in which people live. 1944 Born in Philadelphia, PA EDUCATION 1971 MA Anthropology, Temple University 1965 BA German Literature, Temple University 1962 Film Studies, I.D.H.E.C., Paris LANGUAGES: Fluent: French, German, Romanian, Spanish; some Turkish.
