Ilse Bing: Photography Through the Looking Glass
€45.00
Monograph of work by Ilse Bing. Illustrated with many photographs.
While Frankfurt-born Ilse Bing's 1931 Self-Portrait with Leica is an icon of modern photography, her exquisite black-and-white compositions, created mostly during her years in exile in Paris and New York, have not received nearly the attention they deserve. This first-ever monograph of the photographer (1899-1998) dubbed the 'Queen of the Leica' provides an authoritative source for her work, ranking her alongside figures like Brassaï, Man Ray, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. The book combines biography with an in-depth study of her work in its historical context, based largely on unpublished material from Bing's personal archive, creating a portrait of the artist that is both revealing and long overdue.
