Description: New York: Thames and Hudson, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 144pp., 80 color photos. Summary: Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, HarryGruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of color in the 1970s and1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined newterritory for color photography: an emotive, non-narrative, and boldly graphic way ofperceiving the world. In 1972, while living in London, Gruyaert created the striking series TV Shots byturning the dial on a television set at random and photographing the distortedimages he saw there. A later series, Made in Belgium, portrays his ambivalentrelationship with his homeland in a palette of saturated tones. In his most recentwork, he embraces the possibilities of digital photography, taking further creativerisks to capture light in new ways. Gruyaert’s images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematiclogic. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of hispersonal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses.
