E.O. Hoppes's Amerika : Modernist Photographs from the 1920's
€ 11,00
Once locked away in European archives, these 120 early modernist photographs of America rival those of Edward Steichen and Walker Evans, yet their remarkable range of contrast and focus make some of them look more like paintings in shades of sepia and gray. Emil Otto Hoppé was born in Munich in 1878 but lived in London from 1900 until his death in 1972. Though a peer of Paul Strand and Alfred Stieglitz, Hoppé depicts 1920s America as only an outsider could: brave, new, and grand in scale but with a hint of trouble brewing in the gaps of its social fabric, as seen in Hoppé's portraits of Native and African Americans, which are as revealing as his cityscapes.
This volume presents a significant selection of modernist photographs taken by E.O. Hoppe during the 1920s in the United States. The collection highlights Hoppe's unique perspective on American life, capturing both the mundane and the monumental through his distinctive lens. Accompanied by an introduction and scholarly context provided by Phillip Prodger, the book explores the aesthetic and historical significance of these images within the broader context of early 20th-century photography.
