William Klein (Photofile)

Small book, absorbing content.Klein's use of movement and often very clever composition captivates. I have no clear favorites given the overall quality of his work but want to mention some highlights:No 3 "Gun 2" with a priceless expression, No 2 "St. Patrick's Day" with a staggered stern seriousness, No 9 "Candy Store" which is simply beautiful or beautifully simple, No 16 "Corner Cigar Store" with a good dozen stories in a single frame, No 2o "Watchman" with one of the most compelling compositions I ever saw, No 28 "Bikini" with life in 3 panels and multiple verticals, No 35 "Bodybuilder" where reality melts with its symbol, No 48 "Cafe terrace" where most of us would walk by but Klein captures life divided etc etc...I also like Klein's technique. As much as possible in focus, never care about blur, push the film as high as it needs to be, grain or no grain. Content is King.Otherwise, Thames & Hudson delivers an incredible quality product for a very low price. The choice of essays about Klein and his work instead of lengthy texts at the beginning is spot on.

Got this as a present for a Photo friend and hit the mark for her studies. Brilliant service-ordered and arrived well packaged and in top condition

Lovely book

Muy chico el formato y no está su otra con modelos.Es molesto que exijan cuantas palabras a veces uno no tiene el tiempo.
