Brandt

Bill Brandt (1904-1983)was one of the century's most important photographers — a man whose work ranged from starkly realistic images of industrial workers to surreal studies of the human body. This is the first comprehensive retrospective on this protean artist.Interpretive essays and 350 of Brandt's finest photographs, reproduced in stunning duotone, illuminate every phase of a long and varied career: his stint as an assistant to Man Ray; his early photo-journalism, which shows the influence that Brandt and Brassai had on one another; his dark portraits of England's industrial north; the haunting images of London during the blitz; his evocative series of English literary landscapes; and Brandt's famous abstract nudes.

This volume is sure to become the standard reference on a truly great photographer.
