BILL BRANDT - Ramón Esparza, Maude de la Forterie, Bill Brandt, Nigel Warburton
In a career spanning almost half a century, Bill Brandt has mastered several major genres of photography: photojournalism, portraiture, nudes and landscapes. At first glance, Brandt's genres may seem unrelated, but when we analyze his entire career, a common theme emerges: what psychologist Sigmund Freud and philosopher Eugenio Trías called "the sinister". From his first amateur photographs in the 1930s to his late portraits and studies of the female body, Brandt expresses a fascination with the strange, dark aspects of life that only he can reveal.
With 200 photographs taken throughout Brandt's career, this book adds a crucial chapter to the analysis of this key figure in twentieth-century photography. Bill Brandt is set to become an authoritative retrospective.
