Synopsis
Richard Kalvar, a member of the elite club of Magnum photographers, has an exceptional eye and a talent for catching moments when societal behavior becomes humorous or shifts into the absurd. His compelling duotone photographs document the human condition. Kalvar seeks to emphasize the unusual, and his penetrating lens reveals a unique brand of humanity. He explores everyday life but with an altogether fresh perspective, at times funnier or darker. This collector's monograph was produced in conjunction with the artist from photographic "evidence" compiled on his travels from Rome to Paris, New York to Varsovie, and San Francisco to Tokyo.This is the first monograph published on Kalvar, one of the world's most important post war photographers.

Tapa Dura. Condition: Muy Bien. Una pierna está suspendida en un arbusto. ¿Hay un cuerpo adjunto? Un hombre desnudo con el pelo ralo contorsiona sus brazos y piernas en el puente de Brooklyn. Una bicicleta descansa cerca. ¿Es esto arte escénico? ¿Un signo de un estado mental en desintegración? ¿Un hombre al que simplemente le gusta estar desnudo en público? Todas las respuestas son correctas y ninguna lo es. Como ocurre con toda fotografía, estas imágenes son una instantánea de la realidad pero no son la realidad misma.Richard Kalvar, el autor de estas escenas ambiguas, ha pasado más de 50 años recorriendo calles, bares, parques y fiestas, buscando el momento ?mágico? en el que la composición, el encuadre y el tema se alinean y se crea un universo entero en un solo cuadro. ?Cuando tomas una fotografía la estás extrayendo de algo más grande que está en movimiento y que está en 3D?, dice Kalvar. "Le estás dando significado a este pequeño momento aislado y el significado no siempre es muy claro, casi nunca es muy claro".Richard Kalvar nacido en 1944 en la ciudad de Nueva York, después de graduarse en la Universidad de Cornell comenzó a trabajar como asistente del fotografo de moda Jérôme Ducrot. En 1970 se mudó a Francia donde colaboro en la fundación de la agencia Viva. En 1975 se incorpora a la Agencia Magnum como miembro y en 1977 pasa a ser miembro de pleno de derecho.Hoy en dia sigue viviendo en Paris con su esposa y sus doshijos. No. Libro, Book, Buch. Livre.
