Bruce Weber Bücher

Bruce Weber became one of the preeminent photographers of the fashion industry in the 1980’s. Leading designers such as Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld and Ralph Lauren employed his talents to define their brand image. Widely credited with elevating advertising photography to an art form, he continues to be one of the world’s most popular commercial photographers. In addition to his commercial work, however, Weber has published several books of his photographs, made several films, and had his work exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world. The collection of photographs presented in this portfolio is testimony to his achievements and to the range of his talents. Whether interiors, landscapes, bold, sexy male nudes, or erotic yet nostalgic takes on American adolescence, the reader will be dazzled with the breadth of Weber’s contributions on display.

Herbert List, who died in 1975, was one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. Early in his career he photographed primarily in Italy and Greece, attracted like many previous travelers to the countries' beauty. List came of age in Germany during the development of the "new objectivity"; his photographs, surreal in aesthetic, in certain ways parallel de Chirico's paintings. After World War II he photographed the ruins of Munich, portraying the consequences of destruction by means of a classical visual form. List was the youngest of a famous group of photographers -- Hoyningen-Huene, Cecil Beaton, and Horst P. Horst -- and his photographic oeuvre is perhaps the freshest and most artistic of these distinguished individuals. This large volume assembles 250 of Herbert List's most famous images in the first comprehensive compilation of his work. The photographs are organized according to five themes: Metaphysical Photography, Ruins and Fragments, Eros and Photography, Portraits, and Moments. Accompanying the images are essays written by five important historians of photography and art.

New York has always attracted artists--because it is electric with passion, endeavor, and hustle, and because they know they will find others of like mind there. The city is a vibrant center of the international art world; no wonder then that both resident and sojourning painters have long felt compelled to capture, interpret, and evoke the place on canvas. Bruce Weber faced a daunting amount of works for inclusion in Paintings of New York. But he chose well, producing a book that combines solid scholarship in history and the arts, warmly readable prose, and gorgeous color images. Artwork included by Piet Mondrian, Ernest Lawson, Maurice Prendergast, William Glackens, Georgia O'Keeffe, Childe Hassam, Raphael Soyer, Charles Frederic Ulrich, Albertus Del Orient Browere, Thomas Moran, Joseph Stella, Elsie Driggs, George Bellows, Otto Boetticher, Robert Henri, George Tooker, Francis Guy, Thomas Hart Benton, and Ben Shahn.

This original tribute to the male nude combines photographs by Bruce Weber with drawings by the late Savannah, Georgia, artist Paul Stone. In their own distinctive ways Weber and Stone each convey the strength and emotional power at the heart of masculinity. Among the factors that unite both distinguished artists are an unparalleled appreciation for male athleticism and sensuality. Line, shading, color, and light mesh in fluid synchronicity. While carefully composed and precisely executed, these works all possess a compelling spark of creative spontaneity. Above all, the images reflect a sincere admiration for youth and beauty, an appreciation that is common to all periods of history. Layer upon layer of impressions guide us as we explore the heroic qualities of myth and legend, archetypes known in cultures since the dawn of humanity. Whether conveying virile manliness or boisterous boyishness, these majestic images will linger in the memory for quite some time.
