Housed in a blue purpose made box lettered in gilt on the spine. There is some rubbing and wear to the folder itself and to the photograph on the cover. Plate 8 has a small closed tear to the left edge, plate 13 has a small tear to the upper left corner and a crease along the left edge and plate 20 has a small tear to the lower right corner and a crease the bottom edge. Otherwise, the plates are in very good condition. \u003cbr\u003eSasha Stone (1895-1940) was born Alexander Steinsapir in Russia. Having settled in America in 1913, he served in the US Army during WWI. After his discharge, he worked as a sculptor in Paris and then a painter before turning to photography. His images demonstrate the eye of a sculptor and these examples of the female form have a classical sculptural quality. Stone also worked with modernist and surrealist groups including members of Bauhaus and it might even be argued that these nudes suggest, in their combination of \u003cem\u003efaktura\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e tektonika, \u003c\/em\u003ethe influence of constructivism.","brand":"STONE, Sasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18052789960815,"sku":"3104","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1484\/0910\/products\/3104_2.jpg?v=1542223265","url":"https:\/\/voewoodrarebooks.com\/products\/femmes-collection-da-tudes-photographiques-du-corps-humain","provider":"Voewood Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
