Perspectives sur le Nu

First French edition. 90 black & white plates. Foreword, translated into French, by Lawrence Durell. Introduction, translated into French, by Chapman Mortimer. Bill BRANDT, born in Germany, moved to England in the thirties of last century. ´The series of nudes that Bill Brandt made between 1947 and 1960 - brought to triumphant fruition after he acquired an old wide-angle camera - is justly renowned. These startling images rewrote the language of nude photography in not one, but several quarters.’ (Gerry BADGER).
