Description

The glamour and misery of mankind are at the heart of this book, but it also addresses the tradition and the renewal of the human image. Significant photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries engage in a sometimes surprising dialogue with Masters of European painting from the late Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Reviews

"The dialogue between masterpieces of European painting from the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and strong, bold contemporary photographs from the Teutloff Collection is harmonious in its entirety. Intriguing, thought-provoking, and educational, this book should be mandatory reading for anyone studying the visual arts."--Clive Waring-Flood "Silvershotz: The International Journal of Contemporary Photography" (4/8/2011 12:00:00 AM)
