'The Pleasure of Seeing. Conversations with Joel Meyerowitz on sixty years in the life of photography' è la prima biografia di Joel Meyerowitz, uno dei master photographer più importanti del nostro tempo, pioniere della fotografia a colori, essenziale punto di riferimento nella street photography e maestro del ritratto. Il libro è strutturato come una conversazione tra l'artista e Lorenzo Braca, storico e fotografo a sua volta, e ripercorre le tappe della vita di Meyerowitz: gli inizi, gli studi in storia dell'arte, l'incontro con Robert Frank, la pratica fotografica per le strade di New York con Tony Ray-Jones e Garry Winogrand, i lunghi viaggi in America e in Europa, l'apprendimento da John Szarkowski, direttore della fotografia del MoMA, la collaborazione a numerose mostre e pubblicazioni, l'esperienza di Ground Zero nel 2001 e 2002 ed i più recenti progetti di nature morte e autoritratti. Attraverso oltre cento immagini, dalle più iconiche a quelle inedite, questa biografia visiva mette in risalto la continua evoluzione di Meyerowitz lungo un arco temporale di sess'antanni. Parallelamente The Pleasure of Seeing mette in relazione il lavoro del fotografo con i fatti della sua vita privata e ne colloca la cifra stilistica nel quadro della storia dell'arte.

Joel Meyerowitz (born March 6, 1938) is a street photographer and portrait and landscape photographer. He began photographing in color in 1962 and was an early advocate of the use of color during a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of color photography as serious art. In 1962, inspired by seeing Robert Frank at work, Meyerowitz quit his job as an art director at an advertising agency and took to the streets of New York City with a 35mm camera and Colors film. Garry Winogrand, Tony Ray-Jones, Lee Friedlander, Tod Papageorge, and Diane Arbus were photographing there at the same time. The fleeting moments of street life in New York City and other American cities that Meyerowitz has captured are some of the earliest and best-known examples of color street photography. Many of his photographs are icons of modern photography, and made Meyerowitz, along with William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, one of the most influential modern photographers and representatives of the “New Color Photography” of the 1960s and 70s.
Lorenzo Braca (born 1977) is an Italian historian and photographer who has published widely on the literature, the mentality, and the imagination of the late Middle Ages. He is currently working for the Catholic University of Milan on research projects concerning Medieval intellectual history. As a photographer, his work is oriented primarily towards the urban environment, its evolution, and the overlooked signs of human presence. Braca’s photographs have been exhibited in collective shows since 2016, and in 2021 he had his first solo exhibition. He is now about to publish a book co-written with American photographer Joel Meyerowitz on his sixty-year career.
Joel Meyerowitz is one of the pioneers of color photography, as well as an essential reference figure for street photography, large-format photography, and portraits. The Pleasure of Seeing is his first biography, the book offers a look behind the scenes of the life and career of one of America’s photographic living legends. In conversation with historian and photographer Lorenzo Braca, Meyerowitz speaks vividly about his beginnings, studying art history, meeting Robert Frank, photographing on the streets of New York City with Tony Ray-Jones and Garry Winogrand, traveling extensively across America and Europe, learning from John Szarkowski, director of photography at MoMA, working on numerous exhibitions and publications, photographing at Ground Zero in 2001 and 2002, and about the most recent still lifes and self-portraits projects. The book contains over one hundred pictures, including Joel’s most iconic photographs as well as new and previously unpublished material. This comprehensive visual biography testifies to the author’s continuing evolution throughout the six decades of his career and discusses his work in relation to his personal life, to the history of photography, and to the incessant transformation of the medium. Meyerowitz reveals anecdotes, personal memories, and the story behind many of his famous photographs.
