Description:
Henscheverlag Kunst und Gesellschaft, Berlin, D.D.R., Germany, 1979; First Edition; 8vo, 362 pages; illustrated. The 1920’s writings on the German Expressionist Theater by notable actor/director Leopold Jessner (1878-1945) who during WWI became manager of the Berlin State Theater, and whose repeated use of a stylized staircase in his productions led to the industry term "Jessnersteppen." Considered on a par with Brecht and Reinhardt, Jessner fled Germany in 1933 for the safety of Hollywood, where he worked until his death, never achieving in his lifetime what many believe to be his rightful place in the history of German Expressionism. Illustrated with numerous theatrical photographs of the period. Very Good, in a Very Good dust jacket that has a small chip at the top edge of the front panel. Text in German.
