At the turn of the century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) started on his 30-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians. Using an approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. The most important images of Curtis' work have been included in this compact homage to the great photographer. Издание на английском языке.

German photography pioneer Karl Blossfeldt photographed plants so beautifully, and with such originality, that his work transcends the medium itself. Over more than 30 years, he took thousands of photographs, revealing a formally rigorous talent whose precision and dedication bridge the nineteenth and twentieth century worlds of image making and bring a distinctly sculptural aspect to a firmly two-dimensional art form. Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard backgrounds, Blossfeldt's images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man but everything of themselves. They are still-lifes, piercingly final statements on their subject, and have endured owing to their technical brilliance and the ongoing fascination of students and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and lastingly effective. Литература на английском, немецком и французском языках.

English photographer Eadweard Muybridge was a pioneer in visual studies of human and animal locomotion. In 1872, he famously helped settle a bet for former California governor Leland Stanford by photographing a galloping horse. Muybridge invented a complex system of electric shutter releases that captured freeze frames-proving conclusively, for the first time, that a galloping horse lifts all four hooves off the ground for a fraction of a second. For the next three decades, Muybridge continued his quest to fully catalog many aspects of human and animal movement, shooting hundreds of horses and other animals-and of nude or draped subjects engaged in various activities such as running, walking, boxing, fencing, and descending a staircase (the latter study inspired Marcel Duchamp's famous 1912 painting). This resplendent book traces the life and work of Muybridge, from his early thinking about anatomy and movement to his latest photographic experiments. The complete 781 plates of Muybridge's groundbreaking Animal Locomotion (1887) are reproduced here. In addition, Muybridge's handmade and extremely rare first illustrated album, The Attitudes of Animals in Motion (1881) is reproduced in its entirety. A detailed chronology by British researcher Stephen Herbert throws new light on one of the most important pioneers of photography. Exhibition Eadweard Muybridge at Tate Britain, London, 8 September 2010 - 16 January 2011 The photographer: Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904), born in England but active as a photographer in the United States for most of his adventurous life, was a key figure in photographic history. On giant glass plates he captured the natural splendor of Yosemite and photographed panoramas of San Francisco. He notoriously shot and killed his wife's lover, but his fame was earned by solving the problems of short-time exposure-and exploiting its possibilities. His subsequent studies of human and animal movement became the ultimate passion of Muybridge, the chronophotographer and predecessor of cinema. The author: Hans Christian Adam studied psychology, art history and communication in Gottingen and Vienna. As a specialist in historical images, he has published numerous articles and books, including titles on travel and war photography. He is the author of TASCHEN's Edward Sheriff Curtis: The North American Indian, Karl Blossfeldt, Eugene Atget: Paris and Berlin, Portrait of a City.

Christian Adam sondiert ein hart umstrittenes Terrain: den Buchmarkt der Nachkriegszeit in Ost und West. Der Zweite Weltkrieg ist zu Ende, die Deutschen vernichtend geschlagen. In den Kopfen der Bevolkerung herrscht Orientierungslosigkeit – und die Besatz er in Ost und West erkennen schnell: mit Zeitungen und Buchern kann man das Bewusstsein der Bevolkerung wirksam beeinflussen. Schnell werden die Bibliotheken von der alten Naziliteratur befreit, Drucklizenzen vergeben und Strukturen neu aufgebaut. Man will den radikalen Neuanfang, traumt von der Stunde Null. Doch mit dem Kalten Krieg werden Bucher und Autoren zunehmend zum Zankapfel der Systeme; Verlage werden von Parteien und Geheimdiensten finanziert, Bucher zu ideologischen Waffen. Christian Adam untersucht die Mentalitatslage der Deutschen anhand der Bestseller in Ost und West und hat dabei eine Unmenge spannender Geschichten zu erzahlen; u. a. von dem DDR-Verleger Gunter Hofe, der wegen Spionageverdachts auf dem Weg zur Frankfurter Buchmesse verhaftet wurde; von Lothar Blanvalet, der keinen »Aufstieg aus dem Nichts« hingelegt, sondern noch 1944 humorige Werke fur Wehrmachtssoldaten verlegt hatte; von Harry Thurk, dem »Konsalik des Ostens«, der angesichts deutscher Kriegsverbrechen klare Worte fand – ganz im Gegensatz zu seinem Westkollegen Hans Hellmut Kirst, der in millionenfach gelesenen Romanen die Geschehnisse verharmloste; von verlagsfordernden Geheimdiensten, Buchverbotslisten und gar von Bucherverbrennungen. Der Traum vom Jahre Null? Christian Adam lasst ihn platzen! Seine genau recherchierten Geschichten um Autoren, Bucher, Bestseller und Leser in der Nachkriegszeit fuhren uns die deutsch-deutsche Nachkriegsgesellschaft und ihren Umgang mit Erblast und Visionen so klar vor Augen wie selten zuvor.
