Book excerpt: A collection of his earlier photographs, "Famouz" clearly and eloquently presents the origins of the artistry that has made Corbijn one of the most sought-after portrait artists of his generation.

Download or read book Anton Corbijn written by Anton Corbijn and published by Schirmer Mosel. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three decades Anton Corbijn has photographed the greatest artists in the music world and beyond. That made him one of the most influential portrait photographers of our days. In Corbijn's career, however, there has been one constant: the band U2, and their collaboration of 22 years. His most recent publication--number seven in the line of Corbijn books published by Schirmer/Mosel--is dedicated to Bono, Edge, Larry, and Adam, to their longstanding friendship, mutual inspiration, and shared experience of rock history that is part of the history of photography. It was Anton Corbijn who "invented" U2's public image and he is still shaping it. The long way from their first encounter in February 1982 in New Orleans to their April 2004 Lisbon shooting for the most recent U2 album is documented in a wealth of private and so-called official pictures with hand-written annotations by the photographer.
Download or read book 33 Still Lives written by Anton Corbijn and published by Te Neues Publishing Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few photographers live up to the term "image-maker" as completely as Anton Corbijn. His photographs, as well-known as the rock stars he has been shooting for the past twenty years, often reveal truths that surprise even his subjects -- uncovering hidden aspects of their personalities, and imprinting them into our collective memory. His artistry has shaped, if not transformed, the image of numerous rock performers. His legendary portrait of the group Joy Division in a subway station, or his unforgettable depiction of David Bowie clad only in a loincloth, for example, are as instantly recognizable as the Mona Lisa. In 33 Still Lives, his fourth book, Anton Corbijn has created a new series of pictures featuring international stars from the world of the movies and music, ranging from Bjork, Bono, and Marianne Faithful to Clint Eastwood and Robert de Niro. In this innovative and daring collection he stages 33 "film stills" of imaginary movies -- single-picture stories disguised as cinema verite photographs which Corbijn refers to as "fake documentaries". The connection between these images remains mysterious and enigmatic, yet they draw the viewer into an imaginary world whose mesmerizing pull is hard to resist. In his introductory essay, art and media theorist Ulf Poschardt points out the singular position Corbijn's work occupies in a world of mechanically manufactured images: "Photography for Anton Corbijn has always been a search for fissures in the cocoon of make-believe". 33 Still Lives is both an adventurous expression of Corbijn's synergetic vision, and a profoundly beautiful collection of portraits of personalities we think we know, but never really can.

Book excerpt: The locals in the southern Italian town where he lives call him Signor Farfalla--Mr. Butterfly: for he is a discreet gentleman who paints rare butterflies. His life is inconspicuous--mornings spent brushing at a canvas, afternoons idling in the cafes, and evening talks with his friend the town priest over a glass of brandy. Yet there are other sides to this gentleman's life: Clara: the young student who moonlights in the town bordello. And another woman who arrives with $100,000 and a commission, but not for a painting of butterflies. With this assignment returns the dark fear that has dogged Signor Farfalla's mysterious life. Almost instantly, he senses a deadly circle closing in on him, one which he may or may not elude. Part thriller, part character study, part drama of deceit and self-betrayal, A Very Private Gentleman shows Martin Booth at the very height of his powers

Book excerpt: L'ormai classico portfolio di Daniel Kramer su Bob Dylan documenta l'anno della svolta epocale dell'artista, avvenuta tra il 1964 e il 1965. Per un anno e un giorno, Kramer ha avuto lo straordinario privilegio di immortalare Bob Dylan in tour, sul palco e nel backstage, creando così uno dei portfolio fotografici più affascinanti che siano mai stati realizzati su un musicista, nonché una testimonianza straordinaria dell'incredibile ascesa al successo di Dylan. Alcuni dei momenti salienti comprendono il concerto con Joan Baez alla Philharmonic Hall del Lincoln Center, le sedute di registrazione di Bringing It All Back Home e l'ormai leggendario concerto a Forest Hills, dove il controverso passaggio di Dylan alla chitarra elettrica ne simboleggiò la costante ed enigmatica necessità di evolvere. Testimonianza di un periodo fondamentale tanto nella storia del rock quanto in quella di Dylan, queste fotografie ritraggono anche amici e collaboratori dell'artista di tutto rispetto come Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg e Albert Grossman. Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day presenta un'accurata selezione di quasi 200 immagini, tra cui alcuni scatti scartati per le copertine degli album Bringing It All Back Home e Highway 61 Revisited. Già pubblicata da TASCHEN in un'edizione da collezione autografata, questa edizione economica è una manna per ogni fan della fotografia o di Dylan che si rispetti!

Download or read book In Ruins written by Duncan McLaren and published by Bulfinch Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here, spanning eight centuries, are the haunting ruins of Ireland. Its once great houses and castles, many designed for the Anglo-Irish aristocracy by the most accomplished architects of their day, bear witness to a troubled history of civil war, famine, land acts and private bankruptcy. Splendid in their prime, the ruins have absorbed the romantic beauty and mystery of the surrounding landscape - qualities captured in these seventy atmospheric photographs by Simon Marsden. Duncan McLaren's intriguing text weaves history and hearsay into one, vividly recalling the lives and fates of the people who lived there. These leftovers of another age inspire a sense of separateness, almost of desolation. Their peculiar charm makes them unique." "Originally published in 1980 and later acclaimed as a collector's item, this expanded edition features an additional thirty photographs by Simon Marsden, including eleven new locations. Duncan McLaren has completely revised his text to incorporate newly uncovered information."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Please Return Polaroid written by Miles Aldridge and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Miles Aldridge delves into his Polaroid archive -- venturing back through twenty years of enhancing, modifying, reassembling and discarding. Many of these Polaroids were intentionally annotated or accidentally damaged while working on different shoots. Liberated from their original context, the images take on a life of their own by evolving into surreal and cinematic narratives. By enlarging and manipulating the Polaroids in unpredictable ways, Aldridge devotes himself to each Polaroid as an independent image while simultaneously learning to appreciate the importance of flaws and imperfections. This book provides us with a rare insight into a photographer's odyssey; an unfolding journey of the imagination in parallel to his working process.
Download or read book London Portrait of a City Policeman written by TASCHEN and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photographic journey through the history of this epic city Samuel Johnson famously said that: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” London’s remarkable history, architecture, landmarks, streets, style, cool, swagger, and stalwart residents are pictured in hundreds of compelling photographs sourced from a wide array of archives around the world. London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant. This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. In addition to the wealth of images included in this book, many previously unpublished, London’s history is told through hundreds of quotations, lively essays, and references from key movies, books, and records. From Victorian London to the Swinging 60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking ♣ from Royal Weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of the Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced big and bold like the city itself, London at last gets the photographic tribute it deserves. Photographs by: Slim Aarons, Eve Arnold, David Bailey, Cecil Beaton, Bill Brandt, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Anton Corbijn, Terence Donovan, Roger Fenton, Bert Hardy, Evelyn Hofer, Frank Horvat, Tony Ray-Jones, Nadav Kander, Roger Mayne, Linda McCartney, Don McCullin, Norman Parkinson, Martin Parr, Rankin, Lord Snowdon, William Henry Fox Talbot, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Wolfgang Tillmans, and many, many others.
