This anthology is dedicated to pictures of women taken by women. It begins with photographs by the two great female photographers of the 19th century, Clementina Lady Hawarden and Julia Margaret Cameron, and covers a period of over 100 years to the present day. Some 160 images by 90 photographers present us with the entire spectrum of female self-definition both behind and in front of the camera. As such, the four major themes of social reality, the family, the female body and virtual reality come to the fore with their multifarious pictures from the worlds of art, literature, fashion, dance and show business. There are self-portraits as well as female photographers’ portraits of female photographers, daughters, mothers and, of course, several important female figures including Virginia Woolf, Greta Garbo, Martha Graham, Simone de Beauvoir, Maria Callas, Madonna, Hillary Clinton, and even Her Majesty the Queen.

Isabella Rossellini

Her part as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942) co-starring Humphrey Bogart made Ingrid Bergman (born in Stockholm in 1915) a Hollywood icon, followed by the Hemingway adaptation For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) with Gary Cooper, Cukor's Gaslight (1944) and Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945). Reflecting Ingrid Bergman's career and based on the family archive, this photo book features unpublished pictures that her father Justus took when she was a young and aspiring actress in Stockholm, film stills, and famous paparazzi shots. A breathtaking beauty, she was famous for her affair with photographer Robert Capa and her controversial marriage with Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, with whom she had three children. Ingrid Bergman received three Academy Awards: Gaslight (Best Actress, 1945), Anastasia (Best Actress, 1956), Murder on the Orient Express (Best Supporting Actress, 1975).

Ingrid Bergman

Andreĭ A. Tarkovskiĭ

Hans-Joachim Schlegel

Andrey Tarkovsky (1932-1986) is one of the eminent film makers of the 20th century. The five feature films he directed in the Soviet Union-among them Andrei Rublev, Solaris, and Stalker-brought him international fame. Evading censorship and mounting pressure by Soviet authorities, he did not return to the Soviet Union after completing Nostalghia in Tuscany in 1983. His final film, The Sacrifice, was shot in Sweden in 1985. Compiled and edited by Tarkovsky's son Andrey Jr., film historian and critic Hans-Joachim Schlegel, and Lothar Schirmer, our book pays homage to a great visionary who though in poetic and, at times, disturbing images of near-biblical intensity. It features stills and documentary photos from each of his films, a rich selection of Tarkovsky's own writings, private photographs from the family album, as well as Polaroids from Russia and Italy. A compilation of prominent voices who have commented on Tarkovsky's work and personality-including Jean-Paul Sartre, Ingmar Bergman, and Aleksandr Sokurov-rounds out the volume.

Blutspur durch Thüringen

Andrei Tarkovsky was a Russian filmmaker, writer, film editor and film theorist. He directed the first five of his seven films Ivans Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, Mirror and Stalker in the Soviet Union, but left for Italy in 1982, where he shot Nostalghia. His last film, Sacrifice, was produced in Sweden in 1985. His work is characterized by spirituality and metaphysical themes, very long takes, an absence of conventional dramatic structure and plot, and his own distinctive style of cinematography. He is today considered one of the 20th centurys most important filmmakers. This book collects film stills and documentary photographs from each of the films, exploring the cinematographic side to his oeuvre.
