Harry Gruyaert Bücher

In this stunning collection, Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert explores the visual power of shorelines. The “edges” that Harry Gruyaert, a preeminent member of the Magnum photo agency, explores in this lush, full-color book are the oceans, seas, and rivers where humans meet the edge of the shoreline and the water begins. This unique volume, which opens from the bottom up, takes the reader to Israel’s Dead Sea, the Niger River in Mali, the North Sea of Iceland, South Korea, and Biarritz, as Gruyaert’s photos record the subtle chromatic vibrations of the edges of the far East and West. Gruyaert juxtaposes the hustle of the city with a pared-down, yet intense, nature. His landscapes are never empty; they are inhabited places where light, color, objects, people, and situations weave a serene, sublime scene. This beautifully produced photographic manifesto reveals the profoundly poetic character of Gruyaert’s work, and the sensual elegance of his compositions.

Fasciné par le pouvoir de la télévision, H. Gruyaert photographie de 1970 à 1972 la télévision anglaise. Face à l'écran, il saisit les jeux Olympiques de Munich, le vol d'Appolo X, des séries, des informations, des films et même des concours canins. Ce travail fut notamment présenté à la galerie Delpire en 1974 et publié ici. Le texte est extrait du livre Télévision de J.-P. Toussaint
