John Gutmann – The Photographer at Work. [New].

Beschrijving

31 x 24 cm. 180 pp. Cloth with dustwrapper. Illustrated in b/w throughout. – John Gutmann (1905-1998) was one of America’s most distinctive photographers. Born in Germany where he trained as an artist and art teacher, he fled the Nazis in 1933 and settled in San Francisco, reinventing himself as a photo-reporter. Gutmann captured images of American culture, celebrating signs of a vibrant democracy, however imperfect. His own status as an outsider – a Jew in Germany, a naturalized citizen in the United States -informed his focus on individuals from the Asian-American, African-American, and gay communities, as well as his photography in India, Burma, and China during World War II. – New copy
