Through 100 of its most important photographs, this book tells the fascinating story of how the new medium of photography was embraced by a new kind of museum, which concerned itself with the arts of everyday life and with a large popular audience. Illustrations and text show how photography was perceived initially as art, then later as a powerful means of communication offering a compelling window on the world and still later - from the 1960s - as a fashionable art medium once again. Its shifting identity is vividly demonstrated by the work of such highly acclaimed and diverse talents as Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Steichen, Eugene Atget, Man Ray, Bill Brandt, David Bailey and Chris Killip. Photography: An Independent Art is both a history of photography and a guide to appreciating fine photographs. It is also a remarkable account of photography's changing status as a collectable medium. (Verlagstext) ISBN 1851772057 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1550.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Zustand: Gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 369 (15) 12 Blatt mit 25 Photographien von Brassaï auf Kunstdruckpapier. 18 cm. Umschlagentwurf: Jan Buchholz und Reni Hinsch. Guter Zustand. - Brassaï (bürgerlich Gyula Halász; * 9. September 1899 in Kronstadt/Brassó, heute rumänisch Bra?ov, damals Österreich-Ungarn, heute Rumänien; 7. Juli 1984 in Nizza) war ein französischer Künstler, besonders Fotograf, ungarischer Herkunft. Leben: Geboren als Gyula Halász nahm er das Pseudonym Brassaï (der aus Brassó Stammende") an. Nach Studien in Ungarn und Deutschland kam er 1924 nach Paris. Sein Freund André Kertész überredete ihn, seine Faszination für das Pariser (Nacht-)Leben in Fotos einzufangen. 1933 erschien sein Fotobuch Paris de Nuit, das ihn sofort berühmt machte. Kurz darauf wurde er zur Ausstellung Photography: 18391937 des Museums of Modern Art eingeladen. Brassaï war vielseitig talentiert und beschränkte sich nicht auf die Fotografie: Er konnte zeichnen, malen, bildhauern und schreiben. Er pflegte unter anderem Freundschaften mit dem Künstler Pablo Picasso, dem deutsch-britischen Fotografen Bill Brandt und dem amerikanischen Schriftsteller Henry Miller. Berühmt wurde sein Buch Conversations avec Picasso, das er 1964 veröffentlichte. 1975 wurde sein Buch Henry Miller Die Pariser Jahre veröffentlicht. Brassaïs Grab befindet sich auf dem Friedhof Montparnasse in Paris. Werk: Brassaïs Arbeiten sind wegweisend für seine Zeit, da er die damals schwierige Technik der Fotografie bei Nacht meisterte. Dabei blieb er nicht im Technischen stecken; vielmehr drückte er in seinen Aufnahmen seine Liebe zu Paris und zu seinen Bewohnern aus. Er verfügte über ein scharfes Auge für das, was sich zwischen den Menschen des Schattens abspielt. . Brassaï ist in die Eingeweide der Stadt hineingestiegen und hat ihnen menschliche Schicksale entlockt, die wir nicht kannten" (L. Fritz Gruber). Seine Bilder sind immer aufrichtig und überzeugend, weil er die Dargestellten nicht überfiel, sondern auch wenn sie der Unterwelt" angehörten sie zu vertrauensvoller Zusammenarbeit gewinnen konnte. Auch wenn er Schwächen sichtbar machte, machte er nicht lächerlich; eher ist ein leises Schmunzeln spürbar. Brassaï selber sagte dazu: There are many photographs which are full of life but which are confusing and difficult to remember. It is the force of an image which matters. (dt: Es gibt viele Fotos, die voller Leben, aber die unübersichtlich und schwer zu merken sind. Es ist die Kraft des Bildes, die zählt.") Weniger bekannt ist, dass Brassaï neben Man Ray auch der Fotograf der Surrealisten war. Er nahm Kristalle und Gewächse so auf, dass sie ihrem gewöhnlichen Zusammenhang entzogen wurden und zu freien Wesenheiten mutierten. So konnten sie ihre imaginäre Kraft ohne inhaltliche Zwänge entfalten. Ein Pionier war Brassaï auf dem Gebiet der Graffiti-Fotografie. Bei nächtlichen Spaziergängen durch Paris seit den zwanziger Jahren fand er Gefallen an den zahlreichen in Mauern eingeritzten Wandbildern und begann sie fotografisch festzuhalten. Doch waren diese Fotografien nicht rein dokumentarisch, sondern durch das Streiflicht, das die Einritzungen in den Wänden kontrastreich hervorhebt, und durch die Auswahl des Ausschnitts mit künstlerischem Anspruch entstanden. Brassaï veröffentlichte neun dieser Fotografien 1933 gemeinsam mit dem kurzen Essay Von der Höhlenwand zur Fabrikmauer" (französischer Originaltitel: Du mur des cavernes au mur d'usine) auf zwei Seiten in der Zeitschrift der Surrealisten, Le Minotaure. Dort schreibt Brassaï in poetischer Sprache ein Plädoyer für die Graffiti, die er als ursprüngliche und authentische Kunstform würdigt. Er erhielt daraufhin viel positive Resonanz und regte andere Künstler, wie zum Beispiel Jean Dubuffet, zur Auseinandersetzung mit Mauern und ihren Graffiti an. . . . . Aus: wikipedia-Brassaï.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is the first book to tell the story of British photography as a coherent whole, from the pioneers of the early nineteenth century to photographers today who may display their images on websites, as projections, on computer screens or on i-Pods. The authors have travelled the length and breadth of the UK, researching both well-known and forgotten ouevres and uncovering many lost masterpieces. As well as the famous names - William Henry Fox Talbot, Lewis Carroll, Julia Margaret Cameron, Bill Brandt, Madame Yeronde, Angus McBean, Susan Lipper and Tom Hunter among them - they have examined post-cards, family albums, photographic illustrations in books, medical photographs, war-time propoganda and social documents. Previous imbalances in the available history of photography have been corrected, not least by the inclusion of women photographers and photographers from Britain's ethnic minorities. Through their exhaustive research the authors demonstrate the extraordinary range and diversity of roles that photography has played in British cultural life over the past one and half centuries. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
