Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from September 5 through November 1, 2003. Presents "Josef Breitenbach: Munich, Paris, New York". A delectable sampling of the great photographer's work. Breitenbach lived a peripatetic life. Born in Germany, he was educated in Munich and began his career there. The rise of the Nazis forced him, a Jew, to flee to Paris, where he eked out a living taking studio portraits. His portraits of such figures as James Joyce, Max Ernst, and Bertolt Brecht were taken during this brief, tumultuous period. With the ascension of the Vichy Government, Breitenbach had to flee again, this time just barely making it to the United States, where he spent the rest of his life. Josef Breitenbach was the classic Modernist case: A tough-minded, serious, soulful artist whose work was ahead of its time even as he absorbed whatever he found useful among the Movements swirling around him. He is now considered a major forerunner of Andy Warhol in his application of color to black-and-white photographs through toning and bromoil transfer. His Bauhaus-inspired work, especially the photograms (such as "Bird, New York, 1948") are masterpieces that have all the color, warmth, and detail of a painting combined with the clarity, precision, and fluidity of a photograph. Every picture in this Exhibition Catalog is museum-quality, and it is nothing less than a blessing that they have been discovered at last for what they are: The work of a great artist, not just a great photographer. An absolute "must-have" title for Josef Breitenbach collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 28 plates. One of the greatest artist/photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy.

Hardcover. oversized, silken cream cloth boards w/ mounted bw illustration. approx 52 unpaginated pgs w/ color & bw plates. Born in Munich in 1896, Josef Breitenbach began taking photographs while working in the family wine merchant business. Proving less than successful at the latter, he opened his first photographic studio in 1932. Munich at that time was a stronghold of libertarians and bons vivants, and Breitenbach's clients included actors, cabaret stars, writers and political figures. It was a short-lived venture; when Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, the photographer escaped to Paris, where he stayed for the next six years. There, Breitenbach's close friendship with Max Ernst, and his experimentation with printing techniques and color manipulation, brought him into contact with the thriving Surrealist movement, although he never became a member of that group. His work was included in a number of exhibitions, alongside that of Man Ray, Brassai and Cartier-Bresson. After the outbreak of war, and a period of internment, he fled to New York and established himself as a teacher and commercial photographer. However, his early work remained unseen until its surprise discovery, after his death, in 1984. Published in association with The Josef Breitenbach Trust, Manifesto is an important addition to the literature available on this extraordinary artist.--Amazon.
