Items related to Zoltan Glass: Speed And Spirit
In the more-than-150-year history of the photographic image, Zoltn Glass--one of the most well-known ''unknown'' photographers--stands among the very few in his profession who have succeeded in combining a surefooted sense of narrative with a sensibility for Cartier-Bresson's ''decisive moment,'' the exact moment for pressing the shutter. Zoltn Glass: Speed and Spirit features a selection of more than 100 race and car pictures--most of them previously unpublished--photographed by Glass on behalf of Daimler-Benz on the Berlin Avus, the Nurburgring, automobile fairs, studio shots done for advertising, or on the street. The images here are characterized by atmospheric density as well as situational humor and spontaneity, returning the viewer to the initial excitement of the automobile.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: gut. 2001. 100 weitestgehend unveröffentliche Renn- und Autobilder des wohl »bekanntesten unbekannten« Fotografen Zoltán Glass in einem hervorragend gedruckten Bildband. Zoltán Glass - einer der »bekanntesten unbekannten« Fotografen - zählt zu den wenigen Fotografen in der über 150 Jahre alten Geschichte des Lichtbildes, die mit sicherem Gespür für die Stimmung und Geschlossenheit einer Geschichte, mit feinem Sinn für den von Cartier-Bresson beschworenen »decisive moment«, dem richtigen Moment für den Druck auf den Auslöser, ein Thema fotografisch dokumentiert haben.Der vorliegende Bildband zeigt eine Auswahl von über 100 bisher weitgehend unveröffentlichten Renn- und Autobildern, die Zoltán Glass in den dreißiger Jahren größtenteils im Auftrag von Daimler- Benz auf der Berliner Avus, dem Nürburgring, auf Automobilmessen und für Werbezwecke im Studio oder auf der Straße aufgenommen hat. Atmosphärische Dichte, aber auch Spontaneität und Situationskomik zeichnen die Fotografien aus, die für einen kurzen Augenblick die Zeit der legendären Silberpfeile in die Gegenwart zurückholen. Zum FotografenZoltán Glass (Budapest 1902-1981 Roquebrune). Nach Jahren in Ungarn als Maler und Karikaturist, ab 1925 in Berlin als Bild- und Kunstredakteur tätig. Dort Beginn der eigenen fotografischen Arbeit. 1930 Gründung der Agenturen Reclaphot (Reklamefotografie) und Autophot (Automobilfotografie). 1936 Emigration nach London. Bei Kriegsbeginn Aushändigung seiner Kamera an die englische Regierung. 1948 mit englischer Einbürgerung Rückkehr zur Fotografie. Überwiegend Werbe- und Magazinfotografie, die ihn über England hinaus bekannt macht. 1962 Übersiedlung nach Roquebrune, Südfrankreich.»Dieses Buch ist wieder einmal ein Beweis wie ungerecht Fotogeschichte geschrieben wird. Der Name dieses Fotografen müsste eigentlich zu den bekanntesten gehören.« Designes Digest / Speed and Spirit features a selection of more than 100 race and car pictures photographed by Zoltan Glass, most of them never previously published. Taken on behalf of Daimler-Benz, the subjects of his pictures include the Berlin Avus, the Nurburgring and automobile fairs, situated at the studio for advertising purposes, with the public, or on the street. The pictures are characterised by an atmospheric density as well as situational humour and spontaneity, taking the viewer back to the time of the legendary Silver Arrows.
