Fotógrafos de la A a la Z - Reseñas (6)
| “We live in an information age. Something about everything is accessible at the touch of a mouse button. But veracity is another matter entirely. Hans-Michael Koetzle’s Photographs A-Z is a labour of love. He has gathered biographical, contextual and bibliographic details for 400 eminent 20th century photographers and illustrated each entry intelligently with images and facsimile reproductions of relevant books, magazines and catalogues. In this alphabetically arranged tour through the work of photographers active in all aspects of camera art, from fashion and advertising to reportage and contemporary culture, Koetzle brings his perceptive historian’s eye to bear and avoids clichéd examples of each entrants oeuvre. Whilst every artist has a page themselves, some merit a double spread and thus Koetzle reveals his own passions for snappers like Sebastiao Salgado and Annie Leibovitz. Also incorporated are artists who use photography as an adjunct to their main activities, for example painters David Hockney and Andy Warhol. If only Koetzle had included a portrait image of each photographer this effort would be near perfect. A large format book to be used, browsed, studied, and kept within each reach. A recommended sourcebook – with instant access”.— F22 Magazine, London, Reino Unido |
| "TASCHEN’s latest coffee table jewel, Photographers A-Z is a rich addition to any bookshelf and a valuable reference for students of photography…Beyond its usefulness as a reference, Photographers A-Z is a fascinating picture book. Early reviewers told (Koetzle) they found themselves repeatedly drawn to the book in the evenings, sitting down with it in their laps, a glass of wine at hand to read a little, but mostly to look at the pictures…TASCHEN publishes a handsome reference of the most important photographers of the 20th Century."— Professional Photographer Magazine, Atlanta, Estados Unidos |

| "Sulla carta, sono stati formidabili. Per un secolo, hanno steso il mondo sulla pagina. E noi abbiamo imparato a vedere prima con l'indice della mano destra, quello che sfoglia le pagine, che con gli occhi. Fotografi: solo una parola una buona volta senza aggettivi e specificazioni, per comprederli tutti e ringraziarli tutti: fotografi, e basta. Quattrocento dalla A di Slim Aarons alla Z di Piet Zwart, scelti fra tutti i generi e le vocazioni, tutti ricordati come volevano esserlo: sulle pagine dei loro libri. ... Guardatelo bene, sfogliatelo questo gande volume, questo monumentale omaggio che l'editore BENEDIKT TASCHEN ha tributato ai suoi grandi fornitori, e miti, e amici, affidandone la compilazione a un appassionato di icone, Hans-Michael Koetzle; guardatelo bene questo libro di libri, perchè non ne vedrete molti altri, in futuro."— Il Venerdì, Roma, Italy |
