中文简介：

Fred Herzog用半个多世纪记录的城市已经消失了——作为早期的城市漫游者，Herzog游走在温哥华的街道上，创造了一个浓缩了逝去时代精髓的档案。今天，他被认为是20世纪最重要的街头摄影师之一，他改变了国际上关于早期彩色摄影的讨论。然而，直到20世纪50年代末，他才决定主要用柯达克罗姆的彩色幻灯片进行拍摄。本书首次揭露了这位摄影师作品中鲜为人知的一面。作为对开创性的《现代色彩》的补充，它包含了几乎是图形化的阴影和光线的城市场景，以及旅行照片和农村生活的描述。这本书带着忧郁的情绪，揭示了Herzog的魅力在于他捕捉心理状态的能力。

英文简介：

The city Fred Herzog documented over more than half a century has vanished―an early kind of urban flaneur, Herzog wandered the streets of Vancouver, creating an archive that encapsulates the essence of a bygone era. Considered today as one of the most important street photographers of the 20th century, he changed the international conversation about early color photography. However, it was only in the late 1950s that he decided to primarily shoot with Kodachrome color slides. Fred Herzog: Black and White is the first acknowledgement of a lesser-known facet of the photographers' work. Complementing the seminal Modern Color, it encompasses almost graphical urban scenes of shadow and light, alongside travel photographs and depictions of rural life. Evoking notions of melancholy, this book reveals that Herzog's appeal lies in his ability to seize a condensation of a psychological state.
