Fred Herzog is known for his unusual use of colour in the fifties and sixties, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white imagery. The Canadian photographer worked almost exclusively with Kodachrome slide film for over 50 years, and only in the past decade has technology allowed him to make archival pigment prints that match the exceptional color and intensity of the Kodachrome slide. In this respect, his photographs can be seen as a pre-figuration of the New Color photographers of the seventies.This book will bring together over 230 images, many never before reproduced, and will feature essays by acclaimed authors David Campany and Hans-Michael Koetzle. Fred Herzog will be the most comprehensive publication on this important photographer to date.

Photographers A-Z

Landmarks in the history of photography: The stories behind history's most extraordinary photographs Photographs have a strange and powerful way of shaping the way we see the world and influencing our perceptions of reality. To demonstrate the unique and profound influence on culture and society that photographs have, Photo Icons puts the most important landmarks in the history of photography under the microscope. Each chapter of this special edition focuses on a single image which is described and analyzed in detail, in aesthetic, historical, and artistic contexts. The book begins with the very first permanent images (Nicéphore Niépce's 1827 eight-hour-exposure rooftop picture and Louis Daguerre's famous 1839 street scene) and takes the reader up through the present day, via the avant-garde photography of the 1920s and works such as Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother (1936), Robert Doisneau's Kiss in Front of City Hall (1950), and Martin Parr's 'New European photography.'

The Monograph

Dr. Paul Wolff

Las fotografías tienen una forma extraña y potente de modelar el modo en que vemos el mundo. Las imágenes con más éxito se han incorporado a nuestra conciencia colectiva, definiendo épocas, haciendo historia o simplemente captando un detalle tan humano y universal que se han convertido en iconos planetarios. Para estudiar esta influencia única, Photo Icons analiza los hitos más importantes de la historia de la fotografía. Desde las primeras imágenes, como la fotografía con una exposición de ocho horas desde un tejado tomada por Nicéphore Niépce en 1827 o la famosa escena callejera de Louis Daguerre de 1838, hasta la obra de Martin Parr, este volumen es una historia de la disciplina y, a su vez, un análisis del impacto social, histórico y artístico de cada obra en particular. Incluimos las instantáneas surrealistas experimentales de la década de 1920 y el crudo fotorrealismo de la década de 1930, entre ellas, la Madre emigrante, de Dorothea Lange. Contemplamos a figuras poderosas (Che Guevara) y otras que rompen corazones (Marilyn Monroe), así como un amplio espectro de emociones y experiencias humanas de las que la fotografía es testimonio vívido: desde la eufórica imagen de El beso del Hôtel de Ville, de Robert Doisneau (1950), al horror de Napalm contra civiles, de Nick Ut, que muestra a una niña de nueve años, Phan Thi Kim Phúc, corriendo desnuda hacia la cámara en su huida de un bombardeo con napalm.
