Martine Franck: Looking at Others, Gebunden

Klappentext

"I do not believe you can be a good photographer if you aren't curious about others." --Martine Franck
Belgian photographer and documentary filmmaker Martine Franck (1938-2012) was as curious as she was generous. From the early 1960s until the end of her life, she patiently developed a demanding photographic oeuvre on the foundation of a sincere attraction to human beings. In the tradition of French humanist photography, Franck dedicated herself to documenting the vast tapestry of earthly human adventure. Looking at Others sheds light on Franck's immense contribution to photography, celebrating her most renowned images of childhood, old age and the theater. Equally of interest is her work depicting labor, the women's liberation movement and consumer society, which has seldom been displayed before now. This new retrospective brings to a wider audience an artist who was undoubtedly engaged with her times and for whom the camera was the favored medium for "looking at others."
