2007年,當地曆史學傢約翰·馬盧夫發現瞭她的大量底片並開始整理。2010年,邁爾的作品開始在芝加哥展齣,頓時成為攝影圈中的熱議人物,被認可為美國當代最重要的街頭攝影師之一。
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.
去年买过她的集子,名叫《我是这个世界的间谍》。 被誉为摄影界梵高的薇薇安,有着独特的经历和眼光。 她像是故意躲着这个世界,又悄悄地记录了所有的光景。 她镜头下的人物,有种说不出的生动。 明明就是身边的普通人,却不是平常样子,或高贵或落魄或精致或颓废。 一点不像抓...
評分在国图借到这两本摄影集,真是够幸运!当晚就翻看了一遍,第二天就看了“寻找薇薇安迈尔”这部纪录片。感慨良多,难道不能说她就是月亮和六便士里的思特里克兰德吗?不管有部分人还是不承认她的艺术造诣,但不容否认,她的作品得到了很多人的认可,艺术本来也不会被所有人认可...
評分尽管当薇薇安·迈尔红了之后,人们对她有着类似于“街头摄影界的梵·高”这样的赞誉,但是在一个普通的读者心中,我却一直对她有着维多利亚时代房间中的天使的既视感。 或者说,她身为一个天使,但是她不想做一个天使。 简·奥斯汀对抗这种压抑的方式是用一只笔,而薇薇安用的...
評分極具審美天賦的怪阿姨,各種搞怪的自拍有種 「齣現瞭!怪阿姨在鏡子中」感,各種意義上來說照片都很棒,隻要彆對攝影師本身對過度解讀就完美瞭。
