Abstract: Bill Brandt's position as one of the greatest British photographers of the 20th century is incontestable. His name and achievement fit easily within the pantheon of international 'greats' of modern photography: Atget, Brassai, Kertdsz and Cartier-Bresson. Brandt's career began in 1920s Paris, when he was introduced by Ezra Pound to Man Ray, who took him on as an apprentice and who inspired the surrealistic vision characteristic of his early pictures. His first great work spanned a whole decade: an encyclopaedic study of the social conditions of Britain in the Thirties, culminating in two famous cycles, "The English at Home" (1936) and "A Night in London" (1938). In the Second World War and the years that followed Brandt expanded his range to include portraiture, landscape and nudes. Patiently delving after the uniqueness of every person or place - the sadness of Dylan Thomas, the bleakness of Wuthering Heights or the qualities of the female form - his vision conferred a timeless, mythic quality on both the notable and the ordinary. This retrospective review of Brandt's work, edited with an introduction by Ian Jeffrey, is published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery, London. Its six sections cover every aspect of his art, from the early sociological studies to the late nudes. Many celebrated images are included, but others have never been seen in book form before. Ian Jeffrey is the author of many books, including "Landscape" (1984) and "Photography: A Concise History" (1981), both published by Thames and Hudson.

#282645 Arte Pittura
Firenze, Polistampa 2016, cm.17x24, pp.224, brossura copertina figurata a colori. Il progresso tecnologico degli anni recenti ha occupato tutti i campi del sapere, investendo anche la critica d'arte. Il saggio propone un nuovo approccio valutativo ad alcune delle maggiori opere della scenda metà del Quattrocento, in particolare quelle del grande pittore, scultore e orafo Antonio del Pollaiolo, arrivando a formulare attribuzioni diverse da quelle ormai consolidate. Mentre il maestro fiorentino è stato negli ultimi anni oggetto di un tentativo di ridimensionamento da parte della critica, l'autore ne riafferma l'impareggiabile livello artistico sottolineando al tempo stesso la grande generosità nel ritrasmettere ai suoi allievi, tra cui Leonardo, Botticelli e Antonello da Messina, i risultati del suo approccio scientifico all'arte.
