The young, award-winning photographer Tina Ruisinger spent three years photographing many of the great masters of 20th-century photography - fifty outstanding and influential artists who have helped write the history of the medium in the 20th century, inspiring the generations that followed. These portraits are invigorated by the encounter between the generations: a young photographer in dialogue with the legends of photographic history; portraits of past masters of the art from the fresh perspective and in the unique visual language of a young photographer. Several of these portraits are the last ever made of photographers who have since passed away. With her sensitive approach, her power of persuasion, and her astonishing persistence, the photographer has succeeded in creating wonderful portraits of outstanding personalities who, having spent their lives behind the camera, are often extremely reluctant to expose themselves to the probing lens of a fellow photographer. These are artists whose pictures are etched in our memories but whose faces and life stories are largely unknown to most people. Tina Ruisinger photographed most of these photographers in their own private surroundings and interviewed most of them about their life and work. Complemented by the young photograph's personal recollections of these encounters, the memorable words and confessions of her subjects underscore the intimacy and the personal quality of these photographic portraits. The book is a document of inestimable value.
