Romantic, eccentric, innovative, a leader among the 1890's decadents, Fred Holland Day ( 1864~1933) was a dedicated aesthete whose life was as turbulent as it was tragic. At the turn of the century, everyone in photography recognized Day as the peer of Alfred Stieglitz. An inspiration to his good friends, the photographers Clarence White, Gertrude Kasebier, Edward Steichen, and Frederick Evans, and an influential exponent of photography as a fine art, he generously encouraged important talents, including his young cousin Alvin Langdon Coburn. One of the first Americans elected to the prestigious Linked Ring Brotherhood in England, Day introduced works by the 'New School of American Photography' to international outrage and applause in London and Paris. His own controversial subjects and the flamboyant costumes in which he dressed them (and himself) gave him the same kind of notorious visibility Haunted by his friend Oscar Wilde. Day took large risks: his images were new, their originality unmistakable. Moreover, his pictures were established with a technique and intensity that claimed new territory for photography. His exotic models included his protege Kahlil Gibran, one of many immigrant boys he guided. His fame grew apace, but fell into abrupt decline after a fatal falling~out with Stieglitz and a catastrophic fire that destroyed his Boston studio and virtually all his prints and negatives in 1904. Yet his later work was even more daring and remarkable. In his six years as a publisher (1893~1899), Day took equal risks. The Boston house of Copeland and Day imported the scandalous works of Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde, as well as the infamous Yellow Book. New poets, British and American, found welcome on their list. Stephen Crane's poetry epitomized Copeland and Day's courage and taste. Their passion for design ran a generous and innovative range, from the medievalism of William Morris to Art Nouveau. But Day, obsessed with photography, could not divide his creative life and so let Copeland and Day die. SLAVE TO BEAUTY rescues a major figure from a neglect his importance and his works hardly deserve, but which he invited by a puzzling self~imposed isolation during his later years (he spent the last sixteen years of his life as a Proustian exile in his bedroom). SLAVE TO BEAUTY is his first biography, and ~ more surprisingly ~ offers the first representative portfolio of his photographs. Estelle Jussim tells the truth about Day's curious relationship with the once famous poet Louise Imogen Guiney and the cabalistic occultism he shared with William Butler Yeats. The text is illustrated with hundreds of photographs of and by Day and his famous colleagues and friends.…

Kl.-4°. Mit zahlr. Abbildungen. 5 Bll., 309 SS. Grüner OLn. mit ill. OSchutzumschlag (minimal bestoßen, Umschlag fleckig,beschabt und mit kleineren Randläsuren). Erste Ausgabe.- Fred Holland Day (Norwood, Massachusetts 1864 - 1933) war Fotograf, Verleger und Philanthrop, Mitglied der Fotografenvereinigung Brotherhood of the Linked Ring. E gilt heute als bedeutender Vordenker der künstlerischen Fotografie; er forderte als einer der ersten Fotografen die Zugehörigkeit der Fotografie zu den 'Schönen Künsten'. Day stand in der Tradition des Ästhetizismus und befasste sich mit den Werken von Walter Pater oder Algernon Swinburne. Inspiriert vom Arts and Crafts Movement gründete er mit Herbert Copeland 1884 den Verlag 'Copeland and Day', der sich nach dem Vorbild von William Morris' Kelmscott Press auf prächtig aufgemachte, handgebundene Einzelausgaben englischer Literatur spezialisierte. Um 1886 begann er zu fotografieren. Sein Werk wurde hinsichtlich seiner homoerotischen Sujets zumeist nackte männliche Akte zu seinen Lebzeiten sehr kontrovers aufgenommen.- Innen ein gutes, sauberes Exemplar.…
