About this Item
Description:
96pp, 79 b&w illustrations. Art Direction by Susan Lusk. Designed by Joyce C. Weston. "Boyhood is a powerful and perceptive statement. In photographs and stories, Roger Ballen leads us across the continents of Europe, Asia, and North America in search of boyhood. Here, with keen insight and masterly skill, he succeeds in capturing the essence of boyhood in a series of timeless images that transcend social and cultural particularities". If you are knowingly searching for this title, could we add any more insight than the jacket description for "Boyhood"? While Ballen has subsequently become renowned for his sobering portrait images of the denizens of his adopted South Africa, this, his first book from 1979 is where it all began. The back cover features laudatory quotes from Andre Kertesz, Bruce Davidson, and Elliot Erwitt. A bright, most handsome example of the book itself whose neatly price-clipped dust jacket shows some very light wear and rubbing. Seller Inventory # 018231
Synopsis:
"In photographs and stories, Roger Ballen leads us across the continents of Europe, Asia, and North America in search of boyhood as it is lived in the Himalayas of Nepal, the islands of Indonesia, the provinces of China, the streets of America. Each stunning photograph [culled from 15,000 boy photos shot during Ballen's four-year quest of his subject] depicts the magic of boys revealed in their games, their adventures, their dreams, their mischief. We begin to see that boys everywhere, no matter how dissimilar their cultures, share a brotherhood." --Excerpted from the dust-jacket.

Hardback. Roger Ballen, Damiani. This new and expanded edition of Roger Ballen's widely acclaimed 1979 photobook Boyhood features new and unpublished images taken by the photographer in the '70. Quoted by Andre Kertesz, Bruce Davidson and Elliott Erwitt as a rare and intimate view of the spirit of youth, these images are able to bring back the childhood of everyone. In photographs and stories, Ballen leads us across the continents of Europe, Asia, and North America in search of boyhood: boyhood as it is lived in the Himalayas of Nepal, the islands of Indonesia, the provinces of China, the streets of America. Each stunning black and white photograph (culled from 15,000 boy photos shot during Ballen's four-year quest of his subject) depicts the magic of boys revealed in their games, their adventures, their dreams, their mischief. Boyhood is able to connect boys all around the world across the borders of nationality and culture. More of an ode or a memory than a literal document, Ballen's first book is as powerful and current today as it was 43 years ago presenting a stunning series of timeless images that transcend social and cultural particularities.
