Synopsis
At the start of the 20th century, long before the triumphal march of the illustrated press, photography in the form of postcards was all the rage. This volume presents the extraordinary inventiveness in postcard production that unites elements of popular culture with photographic images. At the center of attention is the intense interaction between the so-called fantasy postcards and the avant-garde art of the 1920s and 1930s, the Dadaists and Surrealists. Paul Eluard, André Breton and Salvador Dalí were enthusiastic collectors of fantasy postcards and Hannah Höch, Herbert Bayer, Man Ray and many others used them as material for their work.

Catalogo della mostra itinerante tenutasi presso: Winterthur, 2007/2008 - Parigi, 2008 - Essen, 2008. Prefazione di Ute Eskildsen, Urs Stahel, Marta Gili. Testi di Clement Chéroux. Numerose illustrazioni a colori e in bianco e nero. Bibliografia e Catalogo delle opere . Cm 30x30,5. pp. 216. . Perfetto (Mint). . . . All'inizio del XX secolo, molto prima del trionfo della stampa illustrata, le fotografie venivano diffuse su larga scala sotto forma di cartoline. Questo volume presenta l'eccezionale inventiva dell'industria della stampa di cartoline, che ha combinato elementi della cultura pop con l'immagine fotografica. Al centro c'è la splendida interazione tra le cosiddette cartoline fantasy e l'arte d'avanguardia degli anni 20 e 30, i dadaisti e i surrealisti. Per creare le curiosità visive delle cartoline-fantasia, i fotografi lavoravano con montaggio, doppia esposizione, distorsioni ottiche, primi piani e altri trucchi tecnici. Paul Eluard, André Breton o Salvador Dalí erano appassionati collezionisti di cartoline fantasy. Hannah Höch, Herbert Bayer, Man Ray e molti altri le utilizzarono come modelli per i loro lavori.
