Zoltan Jokay: Portraits - Hardcover
There is nothing cool or distant about Zoltan Jokay's portraits. Revolving as they do around themes of intimacy, closeness, and the sense of being touched, both literally and figuratively, his images sometimes seem anachronistic, but that is part of their unique appeal. Jokay's pictures are "self-images": forming a personal visual language, they are a tool through which the photographer can approach his own biography, through which he can understand it and protect himself against it. The son of Hungarian immigrants, Jokay grew up on the outskirts of Munich. In the early 1990s, he attracted attention via a series of portraits concerned with childhood as a period of vulnerability and loneliness, works that can be seen as reflections on his own early experiences. Remembering was followed by three more series during the next decade: Encountering, Growing Up, and Fremd. The portraits in these groups speak of the various nuances of happiness and alienation. Richly illustrated in full color, this book is the first presentation of these portrait series by Zoltan Jokay.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 192 Seiten, 80 Abb. 20 x 26 cm - Nichts an den Bildern Zoltán Jókays (*1960 in München) ist "cool" oder distanziert. Dies scheint anachronistisch, und vielleicht liegt darin der besondere Reiz dieser Bilder. Denn immer geht es um Intimität, um Nähe, um das Berührtwerden und -sein. Zoltán Jókays Bilder sind Ich-Bilder. Fotografie ist eine Sprache, ein Hilfsmittel, sich der eigenen Biografie zu bemächtigen, sie zu verstehen, sich ihrer zu erwehren.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket as Published. 1st Edition. Pretty much as new and hardly, if at all, read. Fabulous collection of rather edgy photographic portraits. The cloth boards are very fresh looking with crisp title lettering on the spine. There is just the odd bit of light shop shelf wear such as a couple of light surface scratches on the back cover. In all a very presentable copy of a scarce title. Seller Inventory # 009958
