Six members (Chuck, Monique, Carol, Anne, Jill, and Ray) of Upper Chesapeake Book Arts visited the Alexey Brooovitch exhibition at the Barnes in Philadelphia. Brodovitch (1898 – 1971) was a Russian-American photographer, designer, and instructor most famous for his art direction of the fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar from 1934 to 1958.Ray took the opportunity to take a new double self-portrait of himself and Jill, which was fun.
We have a copy of his wonderful and pretty rare book entitled, “Ballet.”
We stopped in the Free Library and got a tour of their Special Collections, along with lunch in the Italian Market.
