霍法如何利用摄影集的形式记录战后变革时代的美国和欧洲城市
艾芙琳·霍法(Evelyn Hofer)是一位高度创新的摄影师,她的职业生涯长达50年。尽管她的作品产量非凡,但她生前却未得到足够的认可,《纽约时报》艺术评论家希尔顿·克莱默(Hilton Kramer)称她为“美国最知名的无名摄影师”。她颇有影响力的作品是在整个20世纪60年代出版的一系列摄影书,专门介绍欧洲和美国的城市,包括佛罗伦萨、伦敦、纽约、华盛顿和都柏林,还有一本专门介绍西班牙的书。
《城市之眼》收录了100多张摄影作品,包括黑白和彩色照片,伴随着艺术家50年来首次在美国的主要博物馆展览,以她的摄影集为主题组织。这些照片展示了城市景观和建筑景观,还有肖像摄影,传达出二战后这些城市在结构、社会和经济变革时期的独特特点和个性。
英文简介:
How Hofer used the photobook form to chronicle American and European cities in an era of postwar transformation
Evelyn Hofer was a highly innovative photographer whose prolific career spanned five decades. Despite her extraordinary output, she was underrecognized during her lifetime and was notably referred to by New York Times art critic Hilton Kramer as "the most famous unknown photographer in America." She made her greatest impact through a series of photobooks, published throughout the 1960s, devoted to European and American cities, including Florence, London, New York, Washington and Dublin, and a book focused on the country of Spain.
Comprising more than 100 photographs in both black and white and color, Eyes on the City accompanies the artist's first major museum exhibition in the United States in over 50 years and is organized around her photobooks. The photographs feature landscapes and architectural views combined with portraiture, conveying the unique character and personality of these urban capitals during a period of intense structural, social and economic transformations after World War II.
