BILL BRANDT LIGHTThames a Hudson SHADOW AND Sarah Hermanson Meister # BILL BRANDTSHADOWAND LIGHT Sarah Hermanson Meister Undoubtedly the most significant figure in the development ofphotographic modernism in Britain,Bill Brandt(1904-1983)definedthe artistic potential of the medium in a career that spanned halfa century.Born in Germany,Brandt ultimately settled in London,and within five years he had been embraced as one of Britain'smost celebrated artists.His incisive chronicle of the social structureof his adopted country in the 1930s was followed by a remarkablywide range of work,including evocative portraits of virtually everyBritish cultural luminary,timeless landscapes and a dramatic,groundbreaking series of nudes.Yet these achievements have oftenbeen viewed disparately,as if each body of work were the productof a separate artist,and Brandt's legacy reduced in the popularmind to a handful of iconic images. Bill Brandt:Shadow and Light is the first full-scale examination ofBrandt's oeuvre that attempts to trace a coherent trajectory acrossthe photographer's multifaceted career.With 162 rich tritonereproductions made from the finest of the photographer’s vintageprints,this book seeks to lay out Brandt's career in‘all its unrulysplendour'as Sarah Hermanson Meister writes in her introductoryessay.Meister's fresh scholarship and keen attention to thechronological developments of Brandt's career-including,for thefirst time,an analysis of the dramatic evolution of Brandt's printingtechniques-shed new light on an artist long considered an enigmaby art historians.A comprehensive survey of the work Brandtpublished during World War II in a number of popularillustratedmagazines reveals the origins of some of his most remarkablepostwar work,while a technical examination of the photographer'soften painstaking retouching techniques,accompanied by detailedillustrations,offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at theprocess that was critical to the ultimate impact of Brandt'sextraordinary photographs.
