Bettina Rheims - Hardcover
Since her first photographs in the late ’70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I. (1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional iconography and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection.
This Rheims retrospective showcases more than 300 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection brings together renowned series such as Chambre Close, Héroïnes, and Rose, c’est Paris. Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the strength of each image as for the thrilling variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to global celebrities including Kate Moss, Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell, the book showcases Rheims’s particular interest in female fragility and strength, and of the magic encounter between model and artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Seit sie in den späten 70er-Jahren zur Fotografie fand, hat Bettina Rheims gängige Erwartungshaltungen torpediert. Von ihrer Serie über die Stripperinnen vom Pigalle (1980) bis zum Zyklus über das Leben Jesu in I.N.R.I. (1998), von ihrer Chanel-Werbung bis hin zu Gender Studies (2011): In ihrer Arbeit hat sie die traditionelle Ikonografie gehörig durchgerüttelt und unermüdlich die Bruchstelle zwischen zwei Gebieten ausgelotet, die die Menschen seit jeher faszinieren - die Schönheit und die Unvollkommenheit.Für diesen Band hat Rheims über 300 ihrer Lieblingsaufnahmen aus den letzten 35 Jahren zusammengestellt - couragierte und provokante Fotografie aus berühmten Fotoreihen wie Chambre Close, Héroïnes und Rose, c'est Paris (in Zusammenarbeit mit Serge Bramly). Die Modefotografien wie auch die künstlerischen Aufnahmen in diesem Buch zeigen Bettina Rheims' besonderen Blick für die Fragilität und die Stärke der Frauen. Die magische Begegnung zwischen der Künstlerin und ihren Modellen bricht mit den traditionellen Codes der Erotik und führt zu einer ganz neuen Bildsprache der Weiblichkeit. 452 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.
