Paul Strand Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Classic book of black-and-white photographs in the Outer Hebrides.

Surveys centuries of folklore about vampires. This book offers an explanation for the origins of the vampire legends, from the tale of a sixteenth-century shoemaker from Breslau whose ghost terrorized everyone in the city, to the testimony of a doctor who presided over the exhumation and dissection of a graveyard full of Serbian vampires.

Published to accompany an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from February 1998, this is a study of the achievements of the early career of the American photographer, Paul Strand (1890-1976). After studying photography in New York with the social reformer Lewis Hine, Strand began to absorb the ideas of the European avant-garde, and fellow-photographer and art entrepreneur Alfred Stieglitz heralded Strand's pictures as the first images of an incisive modern vision.

Paul Strand war mehr als ein großer Künstler: Er entdeckte, dass die Fotografie das Potenzial hatte, das dynamischste Medium des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts zu sein. Reinheit, Eleganz und Leidenschaft sind die Markenzeichen von Strands Bildern. Dieser erste Band der Masters of Photography-Serie von Aperture präsentiert einundvierzig von Strands größten Fotografien, die aus einer Karriere stammen, die sich über sechs Jahrzehnte erstreckte.

"Paul Strand: Sixty Years of Photographs," a long-unavailable Aperture classic, is one of the most comprehensive surveys of the power and force of a major photographic figure of our time. Before his death in 1976 at age eighty-five, Strand combed his photographic prints and his many books with an eye to the completion of this volume. Seen here is the summation of a lifework, from the first abstract photographs to the series of plant photographs taken in the last years of his life. Also included is a rarely examined series of filmsÛbrilliant, unprecedented documentaries that foreshadowed Italian neo-realism and the new cinema of the post-war years. The re-release of this volume, which features the famous biographical profile by Calvin Tomkins and excerpts from Strand's correspondence, interviews, and other documents, makes one of photography's major artists newly accessible.
