5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely first rate in form and content, November 15, 1999

This review is from: Brandt : The Photography of Bill Brandt (Hardcover)

I've been a fan of Bill Brandt for decades, have nearly all the books on Brandt, and am a significant collector of his photographs. I am pleased to say that this book has helped me to see Brandt's work with new eyes, yet again. The images are beautifully and faithfully displayed, the accompanying text helpful, insightful. For too long, purchasing major books on Brandt was an exercise in out-of-print frustration. If you have any interest in Brandt, or if you know someone who does, buy this book! It exceeds expectations.

This review is from: Brandt : The Photography of Bill Brandt (Hardcover)

This book really shows how amazing Bill Brandt was as both a photographer and an artist. His work dives into so many areas from landscapes, to documentry work, to stunning figure studies. His use of high contrast is haunting in the best possible way. I was particularly pleased with the way the book covers his entire body of work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brillant Brandt, April 25, 2001

This review is from: Brandt : The Photography of Bill Brandt (Hardcover)

I recieved this book last christmas as a gift after been totally inspired by his work in various galleries and musems for some years. This book is beautifully presented covering the different subject matters including london, north england, nudes. Looking at these pictures gives one an overall idea what a great talent he was and is one of the gretest photographers of all time. If you are a lover of fine art photography or just enjoy great photography this book is most defently worth buying. A brilliant book.
