Henry Rox Revue - Wolfgang Vollmer
The Henry Rox revue combines artistic feats of acrobatics, music and dance with the oddities of everyday life - the impossible is captured here in unique photographs. Henry Rox's photographic universe is a wacky revue, full of humor and charm. He plays with disguises and parodies, and makes a living out of simple yet imaginative arrangements and stagings, in which he casts a wide variety of fruits and vegetables as protagonists. The few documents, photographs and references to Henry Rox's work are scattered in numerous archives and collections in America and Europe. No comprehensive publication or detailed classification of his work has yet been produced - Henry Rox is a forgotten artist of the mid-20th century. The present book, by Wolfgang Vollmer, provides a surprising rediscovery of an impressive artistic position.
