The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of… di Richard Benson

"The book of 101 books" is een boek over boeken, beter gezegd een fotoboek over fotoboeken. Zoals de titel al aangeeft worden er in dit boek in totaal 101 fotoboeken besproken. Van ieder besproken fotoboek staan 2 of 4 blz met daarop een foto van de omslag van het boek, een of meer foto's van bladzijden uit het besproken boek, een inleiding over het boek en wat gegevens over het boek. In zijn voorwoord schrijft Andrew Roth dat het hem te doen is om boeken die als geheel een kunstwerk vormen. Ik heb eerder de 2 boeken "The photobook a history" van Gerry Badger en Martin Parr gelezen die dit boek als voorbeeld hebben gebruikt. Een aantal fotoboeken wordt in beide boeken besproken. Van de boeken die besproken worden heb ik alleen "Diary of a century" van Jacques-Henri Lartigue in mijn bezit en verder heb ik slechts 3 andere boeken in mijn handen gehad: "The Americans" van Robert Frank en "Een liefdesgeschiedenis in Saint Germain des Prés" en "Jazz" van Ed van der Elsken. Het boek is mooi uitgevoerd en stimuleert tot het bekijken van een aantal fotoboeken die ik nog niet kende.… (altro)

Richard Benson: North South East West di Peter Galassi

Love the colors! For me, there's something about old cemeteries, old gas stations, old houses, and lakes, that get me every time!

The Printed Picture di Richard Benson

A wonderful, encyclopedic work on the technical aspects of printmaking and photography. This is a wonderful and easily approachable guide for art lovers or anyone curious about printmaking but may not have a background in making prints. And for working artists this is a good reference on all the possible variations of the medium. The book is also beautifully produced with great full color illustrations--essential when discussing the minute details and differences between types of prints.
