This haunting collection of photographs reflects the surreal vision of the New York collector W.M. Hunt. The photographs have a common theme the gaze of the subject is averted, the face obscured or the eyes firmly closed and range from Andre Breton's self-portrait with eyes closed to Ruth Snyder in the electric chair in 1928 and from Weegee's multi-imaged portrait of Andy Warhol in sunglasses to Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs of the artist Alice Neel with her eyes closed. The pictures present a catalogue of anti-portraiture, characterized at first glance by what its subject conceal, not by what the camera reveals. The continuous plate section, broadly ordered as a portrait of humanity from birth to death, has a commentary by Hunt running through it, in which he offers his own intense and perceptive responses to the images he has gathered over many years, as well as insights into the psychology of collecting.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Unseen Eye is one of those rare books that has the quality of a revelation.It not only gives a new perspective on the work of many of the greatest names in the history of photography but also tells us something new about ourselves with all the associated nuances of memory, wit, eroticism, fear, grief and horror.The photographs have a common theme - the gaze of the subject is averted, the face obscured or the eyes firmly closed. They range from Andre Breton's self-portrait to Ruth Snyder in the electric chair in 1928 and from Weegee's multi-image portrait of Andy Warhol in sunglasses to Robert Mapplethorpe's photograph of the artist Alice Neel. The images present a catalogue of anti-portraiture, characterized at first glance by what its subjects conceal, not by what the camera reveals.The author has gathered the images over many years and his selection includes not only many works by famous practitioners from across the history of the medium - Nadar, Brassai, Walker Evans, Philip Jones Griffiths, Annie Leibovitz, Martin Parr - but also photographs of strange origin taken by anonymous figures from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.Running through the book is a commentary which offers the author's own intense and perceptive responses to the images, as well as insights into the psychology of collecting. William A. Ewing, the distinguished curator of photography, contributes an introduction. A collection of photographs that reflects the surreal vision of the New York collector W M Hunt. It presents a catalogue of anti-portraiture, characterized at first glance by what its subject conceal, not by what the camera reveals.
