When I Was a Photographer
The first complete English translation of Nadar's intelligent and witty memoir, a series of vignettes that capture his experiences in the early days of photography. Celebrated nineteenth-century photographer—and writer, actor, caricaturist, inventor, and balloonist—Félix Nadar published this memoir of his photographic life in 1900 at the age of eighty. Composed as a series of vignettes (we might view them as a series of “written photographs”), this intelligent and witty book offers stories of Nadar's experiences in the early years of photography, memorable character sketches, and meditations on history. It is a classic work, cited by writers from Walter Benjamin to Rosalind Krauss. ...
Emmet Gowin
Throughout his prolific career as a photographer, Emmet Gowin has threaded together seemingly disparate subjects - his wife, Edith, and their extended family; American and European landscapes; aerial views of environmental devastation - that reflect his ongoing interest in issues of scale, the impact of the individual, and notions of belonging. This long-awaited survey, Emmet Gowin pays tribute to Gowin's remarkable career and his impact on the medium. Following his marriage to Edith Morris in 1964, Gowin began work on a series of images of his extended family. His focus broadened in the 1980s, when he began an exploration of landscape and aerial photography. He has since photographed in the Czech Republic, Italy, Mexico, Japan, and the United States.--
Nicholas Nixon
Der amerikanische Fotograf Nicholas Nixon ist für seine großformatigen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien bekannt, in denen er eine besondere Verbindung zu den Betrachtenden herstellt und sie an intimen Momenten im Leben teilhaben lässt. Für seine wohl ikonischste Serie, The Brown Sisters, begleitete er vier Schwestern über 46 Jahre hinweg. Seine Praxis umfasst jedoch ein viel breiteres Spektrum, etwa das einfache Leben im Süden der USA oder Landschaftsporträts der rohen industriellen Gegenden rund um Detroit. Ausgehend vom Aspekt der Intimität gibt die Monografie einen erstmaligen Überblick über Nixons Œuvre. Sie ist eine Reise durch das Leben und Werk des Künstlers – einerseits aus der Ferne, andererseits intim und nah – und zeigt auch neue, bislang unveröffentlichte Fotografien.
