Produktbeschreibung zu Rene Burri, Photographs

First achieving international recognition with the seminal photography book on post-World War II Germany Die Deutschen in 1962, Burri has since become one of the most important figures in the history of photography: he is universally revered by his peers for his sympathetic eye and his capacity to capture larger-than-life personalities on film. "Rene Burri Photographs" comprises the culmination of years of scholarly research by distinguished writer Hans Michael Koetzle into Burri's important contribution to reportage photography, resulting in an incisive introduction, a series of in-depth essays at the beginning of each chapter and in extended captions that accompany each image. The book is designed by prominent Swiss graphic designer Werner Jeker of ADN Design, Lausanne. In 21 thematically-organized chapters, we accompany Burri across Europe to the Middle East, Vietnam, Brazil, Cuba and beyond; we visit Picasso, Le Corbusier, Yves Klein and Giacometti in their studios; we witness political figures such as Che Guevara in repose, and Fidel Castro at the helm. A work of epic scope in its own right, this book is a magnificent tour de force.

Der Schweizer Rene Burri zählt fraglos zu den bedeutendsten Fotografen unserer Zeit. Viele seiner Aufnahmen, etwa seine Porträts von Che Guevara oder Pablo Picasso, sind längst zu Ikonen unserer Bildwelt geworden. Seit jungen Jahren Mitglied der Fotografenagentur Magnum, wurde Burri immer wieder Zeuge weltbewegender Ereignisse und erhielt Zugang zu internationalen Größen aus Politik und Kultur. Erstmalig liegt nun mit dieser mehr als 400 Duotone-Reproduktionen umfassenden Retrospektive ein Gesamtüberblick über sein Lebenswerk vor. Zahlreiche bisher unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen erscheinen in diesem Rahmen zum ersten Mal.

'Burri said that 'pictures are like taxis during rush hour - if you're not fast enough someone else will get them first.' What emerges from this magnificent book is just how often Burri did get the pictures first, and in a career which has spanned over 7 decades this is truly remarkable.' (Modern Painters) 'In addition to his obvious agility and feel for light, Burri managed to invest his images with a dynamic depth that gave them an almost palpable third dimension.' (Joanna Pitman) 'The hefty price of this hardback is entirely justified by the sheer number of superb photographs, good-quality reproduction and mass of information on Burri himself. An excellent collection.' (Amateur Photographer) 'A historical document of the second half of the 20th century. Its key events are witnessed, its significant players - Churchill, Sadat, Picasso, Mao, Kennedy - recorded for posterity, and all undertaken with enormous humanity, humility, and skill.' (Gordon Miller, eight photojournalism) 'The book is cleverly designed, having the feel of a catalogue, but the permanence of something more special. It is a testament to Burri that, after nearly 500 pages, the reader is left wanting more, and …
