In a medium like photography, where the book plays such an important role in its progression, it is an unfortunate fact that some of the greatest photobooks have been essentially lost to history.

From Pablo Picasso to Catherine Deneuve: the... | Master Photographers | Scoop.it

I first heard that the National Portrait Gallery was planning an extensive exhibition devoted to the photographic portraits of Man Ray’s early last year whilst judging a London photography competition; and it instantly became an eagerly (for me at least) anticipated exhibition — and this morning the long wait was over, when I was lucky enough to see this comprehensive show ahead of its public opening tomorrow.

mrstock's insight:
Totally awesome. One of the three seminal retrospectives of Brandt's work. Two of them by MoMA and one by The Bill Brandt Archive organised by John-Paul Kernot. What is not appreciated is how many fabulous images are left out of this stunning show. Go see it.

MoMA | Reconsidering Bill Brandt
mrstock's insight:

MoMA’s new book Bill Brandt: Shadow and Light by Sarah Hermanson Meister, curator in the Department of Photography at MoMA, is a fresh look at the work of an iconic British photographer. The exhibition currently on view isn’t the first time MoMA has presentedBill Brandt’s work to the public—the last Brandt retrospective was in 1969. Since then, the Museum’s perspective of Brandt’s work has evolved into a more complete consideration of the nuances and variations in Brandt’s own photo-historical approach.
