Synopsis
Drawn from Ed Clark’s extensive personal archive of photographs, negatives, contact sheets and scrapbooks, these three volumes reveal the work of a key fi gure from the golden age of American photojour- nalism. From the pageantry of politics to the rhythms of small-town life, from movie stars to the working class, Clark covered the defi ning personalities and events of his age.
Ed Clark is one of the twentieth century’s most fascinating and important “unknown” photographers. A gifted photojournalist, Clark began his career in 1929 with The Tennessean newspaper in Nashville, and went on to work for 22 years for Life magazine. He photographed many of Life ’s most important assignments during the period of the magazine’s greatest cultural impact; Clark’s images helped shape a nation’s sense of itself and the world. His vast range of subjects includes the Nuremberg war crimes trials, the confl ict over civil rights in the late 1940s and early ’50s, Hollywood stars and the movie industry of the ’50s, the people and arts of the Soviet Union, and the White House during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. Through Clark’s eyes, we witness some of the central episodes and themes of the post-war world.
The days were never long enough for me while on assignment. I still love holding a camera, looking through the lens to see what I can see. Ed Clark

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Diese beiden Bände, die aus Ed Clarks persönlichem Archiv von Fotografien, Negativen und Kontaktbögen stammen, zeigen das Werk einer Schlüsselfigur aus dem goldenen Zeitalter des amerikanischen Fotojournalismus. Vom Prunk der Politik bis zu den Rhythmen des Kleinstadtlebens, von den Filmstars bis zur Arbeiterklasse deckte Clark die prägenden Persönlichkeiten und Ereignisse seiner Zeit ab. Ed Clark ist hierbei einer der faszinierendsten und wichtigsten »unbekannten« Fotografen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Als begabter Fotojournalist begann Clark seine Karriere 1929 bei der tennesseanischen Zeitung The Tennessean in Nashville und arbeitete anschließend 22 Jahre lang für die Zeitschrift Life. Er fotografierte viele der wichtigsten Aufträge von Life während der Zeit der größten kulturellen Wirkung des Magazins; Clarks Bilder trugen dazu bei, das Selbst- und Weltgefühl einer Nation zu formen. Zu seinem breiten Themenspektrum gehören die Nürnberger Kriegsverbrecherprozesse, der Bürgerrechtskonflikt in den späten 1940er und frühen 50er Jahren, Hollywood-Stars und die Filmindustrie der 50er Jahre, die Menschen und Künste der Sowjetunion und das Weiße Haus während der Eisenhower- und Kennedy-Regierung. Durch Clarks Augen werden wir Zeuge einiger der zentralen Episoden und Themen der Nachkriegswelt. (Text engl.) 672 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 1222813
