KILIAN Hannes, RHODES c.1955. Rare collection of 42 original gelatine silver print photographs from Rhodes. These photographs are probably the original portfolio for the publication of the book "RHODOS [Portrat einer Insel] by Hannes Killian", Frankfurt a.M, Umschau-Verl, [1959]. 38 of 42 photos with KILIAN copyright stamp & cachet: "EUROP. REISEZIELE RHODOS" (the rest 4 with other copyright cachets). 17 of 42 photos with "K"

in negative. All with handwritten descriptions & technical notes on reverse. 39 photographs dim.~24x30cm, 2 photos dim.18x24cm & 1 photo dim.23x27cm. Few photos with small brown spots, 2 photos with signs of waterstain. Hannes Kilian (1909-1999) has earned a reputation as one of Germany’s foremost photographers, being famous as a great ballets photographer, working for some of the most important newspapers and magazines (including Time, the Picture Post, Spiegel, and stern), and publishing numerous books as well. In the current collection from Rhodes, the photographer presents impressive views of Rhodes architecture, landscape and everyday life. All photographs are characterised by an unfading expressive power, while his motifs seem to be aligned towards a central axis or embedded in a clearly drawn linear scaffold. Rare.
