Texts by Clara Bouveresse, Peter Pfrunder, Luc Debraine

Best known for impressive black-and-white images, most taken on expeditions as a reporter in postwar Europe and during a major Asian conflict, and on travels in the Far East and South America. Far too little known are early color pictures, comprising studio work in fashion and advertising as well as reportage from war-damaged cities. For these, a color-separation device exposed three monochrome plates in a single exposure, each equipped with a filter so that a true color print was subsequently made by combining the three negatives -- some 200 of which have now been restored and published for the first time.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
