- - CIRCUS - Bruce Davidson - Steidl - - One of the world's most influential photographers, Bruce Davidson, takes readers inside three midcentury big tops in images that are poetic, realistic and profound. He reveals not only the swiftly vanishing cultural phenomenon of the circus, but what might be called the eternal human circus. His deeper interest lay in the daily lives of circus performers and producers--the roustabouts and riggers, and the pretty girl who rode an elephant in what was called the "spec." He also made an intimate series of a dwarf clown. In 1967, Davidson caught the elegant exuberance of an Irish one-ring circus. Most of these pictures are published here for the first time. - - 88 pages - Hardback edition, 2007 - English
