Over the course of a career spanning nearly half a century, Bill Brandt mastered several major genres of photography: photojournalism, portraiture, nudes, and landscapes. At first glance, Brandt’s genres may seem unrelated, but when one examines his entire career, a common theme emerges: what the psychologist Sigmund Freud and the philosopher Eugenio Trías called “the uncanny.” From his early amateur photographs taken in the 1930s to his later portraits and studies of the female body, Brandt expresses a fascination with the strange and dark aspects of life that only he is able to reveal.
With 200 photographs taken throughout Brandt’s career, this book adds a crucial chapter to the analysis of this key figure in 20th-century photography. *Bill Brandt* is set to become the definitive retrospective.
