A selection of Werner Bischof's restored early color images.Swiss photographer Werner Bischof (1916-54) is best known for his impressive black-and-white images. For these, Bischof used various types of cameras, including a Devin Tricolor, an elaborate one-shot color separation device. Far too little is known of Bischof's early color photographs, comprising studio work in fashion and advertising photography as well as reportage from war-damaged European cities.
Over one hundred color plates are supplemented with texts by Clara Some 200 of Bischof's Devin Tricolor negatives have been restored and a selection of them published in this book for the first time.The beautifully illustrated volume is fascinating not only from a photo-historical perspective; even these early color images reveal Bischof's outstanding, sensitive aesthetic that characterizes his entire oeuvre.
