Angel's World the New York Photographs of Angelo Rizzoto. Lesy, Hardcover Book

About the Item

Angel's World: The New York Photographs of Angelo Rizzoto. Lesy, Michael First edition of this collection of photographs. Quarto, original black cloth, illustrated. Inscribed by Michael Lesy on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Laura Lindgren. In this profound and disturbing book, noted photo historian Michael Lesy is in search of a man who left a strange archive of sixty thousand images to the Library of Congress. We learn that he was Angelo Rizzuto, but he called himself "the little Angel." He lived in a single, run-down room in a dilapidated hotel. We learn that every day he left at 2:00 p.m. to photograph New York City obsessively, from above and on the streets. We see the cityscapes he took, compassionate photographs of children and confrontational pictures of angry women. We see his anguished self-portrait taken almost every day. These are the obvious discoveries. What is not obvious is why; what did it all mean? In his thoughtful and erudite essay Lesy has fashioned nothing less than a psychoanalytic dissection of a tortured soul in an account that is both deeply unsettling and satisfying at the same time. This is a beautiful photography book Title: Angel's World: The New York Photographs of ... Publisher: W.W.
