Balla Demeter – Weöres Sándor: - Budapesti kaleidoszkóp (2x)26pl(s). Scarce photo collection from the famous photographer. The artist's biographies do not mention it, and it is omitted from the list of his works as well. The fact that a facsimile of the autograph title poem by Sándor Weöres is included indicates that more than one copy was published. He might have made a few copies for his friends. In a witty reference to the metaphor of the kaleidoscope, the book had been cut at the lower one-third of its pages so that the two parts can be read independently. In a few cases, a full-page photograph was separated, but for the most part, there are individual photographs on each page. The pictures were taken in the 1960s and ‘70s. In addition to its undoubted artistic importance, the piece is also fascinating from a literary historical point of view as the Weöres text seems unknown to researchers. Illustrated, original half cloth. Protected cultural object – unable to export.
