Item Number: 123488 Title: BILL BRANDT : Shadow and Light Author: Hermanson Meister, Sarah Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780500544242 Description: London: Thames & Hudson, 2013. 27cm., hardcover, 208pp., 255 illus. Summary : Bill Brandt: Shadow and Light is the first full-scale examination of Brandt’s oeuvre to trace a coherent trajectory across the photographer’s multifaceted career. With rich duotone reproductions made from the finest of the photographer’s vintage prints, this book lays out Brandt’s career in ‘all its unruly splendour’, as Sarah Hermanson Meister writes in her introductory essay. Meister’s fresh scholarship and keen attention to the chronological developments of Brandt’s career – including, for the first time, an analysis of the dramatic evolution of Brandt’s printing techniques – shed new light on an artist long considered an enigma by art historians. A comprehensive survey of the work Brandt published during World War II in a number of popular illustrated magazines reveals the origins of some of his most remarkable postwar work, while a technical examination of the photographer’s often painstaking retouching techniques, accompanied by detailed illustrations, offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the process that was critical to the ultimate impact of Brandt’s photographs.
