薇薇安·迈尔(1926.2.1-2009.4.21)20世纪最神秘也最有意思的摄影师之一。目前,人们对薇薇安·迈尔仍所知甚少。据了解到的,1926年出生于纽约的她,生前是一位保姆。似乎也没有成过家。最后,是她曾带大的那些孩子,照料着迈尔的迟暮之年。一生里,她拍过150000余张照片,但几乎没人见过。
2007年,当地历史学家约翰·马卢夫发现了她的大量底片并开始整理。2010年,迈尔的作品开始在芝加哥展出,顿时成为摄影圈中的热议人物,被认可为美国当代最重要的街头摄影师之一。
Product Description
A good street photographer must be possessed of many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers.
Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide—from France to New York City, to Chicago and dozens of other countries—and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America’s post-war golden age.
It wasn’t until realtor and amateur historian John Maloof stumbled upon a box of anonymous negatives in a Chicago auction house just a few years ago that any of her marvelous work saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the first wave of the best of her incredible body of work—much of which still hasn’t been enlarged or in some case even developed into negatives. Hidden treasures like this don’t come along every day, and powerHouse is excited and honored to present this astounding body of never-before-seen work to the public at large.
About the Author
There is still very little known about the life of Vivian Maier. What is known is that she was born in New York in 1926 and worked as a nanny for a family on Chicago’s North Shore during the 50s and 60s. Seemingly without a family of her own, the children she cared for eventually acted as caregivers for Maier herself in the autumn of her life. She took hundreds of thousands of photographs in her lifetime, but never shared them with anyone. Maier lost possession of her art when her storage locker was sold off for non-payment. She passed away in 2009 at the age of 83.
John Maloof is a historian, street photographer, and former real estate agent from Chicago’s Northwest Side. He discovered the first negatives of Vivian Maier’s work in 2007 while compiling a book about the history of the neighborhood where he grew up.
感谢sam分享 “She was interested in seeing how she fit into the world.” 这本看的pdf,masterpiece,作品有灵魂,凤毛麟角的街拍,她似乎很喜欢利用镜子,是不是也是某种注视自我的内省呢 “没有人知道她空闲时间在干什么。” 他们这样评价薇薇安,“但她有广阔的内心世界...
评分一部关于自拍的集子,摄影师是薇薇安.迈尔。 刚开始看的时候特意没看序言,只是按照自己的观点去理解这个摄影师。在我的眼里她有点敏感但是却非常热爱生活,有着自己的态度和生活方式,感觉像是独立于这个世界。她的作品里面有些时候会有这个人的正面照,但是都没有看镜头,眼...
评分全部看完才知道为什么这本书的名字叫:《我与这个世界的距离》。 在另一本书《孤独的城市》里看到过作者提到薇薇安·迈尔。一个生前几乎没有人知道的隐形摄影师,用她手里的相机做武器,与城市相融又对抗。在纽约,在芝加哥,在圣迭戈,她用镜子,街边的橱窗,汽车后视镜,光...
评分Vivian记录下的是那些橱窗玻璃、鱼眼镜子、圆形反光物、看似普通的日常场景的自己,还有几张是存在反差质感的自拍,用如此隐秘的方式记录着自己和生活,神秘却又有趣,深刻吸引着我。 似乎她只是想记住今天穿了什么样的衣服逛到了哪条街;今天去理了发,店里有几个擦肩而过的人...
评分约翰·马卢夫之于薇薇安·迈尔,也许就如同乔安娜之于文森特·梵高吧,乔安娜一直奔波于梵高的画展与书信集,而约翰·马卢夫则不辞辛苦地整理薇薇安的作品、物件,专门建立了薇薇安·迈尔摄影作品网站。同样是坚持着自己所爱的事物,同样是离世后因为他人的努力而逐渐被世人所...
