Book Price $0 : Bill Brandt Was The Preeminent British Photographer Of The Twentieth Century, A Founding Father Of Photographyâ??s Modernist Tradition Whose Half-century-long Career Defies Neat Categorization. This Publication Presents The Photographerâ??s Entire Oeuvre, With Special Emphasis On His Investigation Of English Life In The 1930s And His Innovative Late Nudes. The Museum Of Modern Art Has Been Exhibiting And Collecting Brandtâ??s Photographs Since The Late 1940s, And Has Recently More Than Doubled Its Collection Of Vintage Prints Of His Work, Which Forms The Core Of This Selection. An Essay By Sarah Hermanson Meister, Curator In The Department Of Photography At MoMA, Sets The Artistâ??s Life And Work In The Context Of Twentieth-century Photographic History. With Rich Duotone Illustrations That Highlight The Special Characteristics Of Brandtâ??s Prints, This Volume Is An Invaluable Resource To Students And Scholars Alike. Lee Ann Daffner, The Museumâ??s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Conservator Of Photographs, Contributes An Illustrated Glossary Of Brandtâ??s Retouching Techniques, Enhancing The Appreciation Of Brandtâ??s Printing Processes. The Book Also Includes A Generously Illustrated Appendix Of Brandtâ??s Published Photo-stories During The Second World War.Bill Brandt (1904â??1983) Moved To London From Germany In 1934 And Quickly Began His Investigation Of British Society, Resulting In What Would Become His Signature Publications: The English At Home (1936) And A Night In London (1938). He Continued To Photograph In London Throughout World War II, Contributing Regularly To Picture Post And Harperâ??s Bazaar. His Postwar Career Expanded To Include Portraits And Landscapes, And The Celebrated Series Of Nudes That Remain His Crowning Achievement.
