Bill Brandt: Behind the Camera - Softcover

Mark Haworth-Booth, curator of photography at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, analyzes Bill Brandt’s work series by series, providing both a contextual overview and concrete information on Brandt’s working methods and biography.

David Mellor, professor of art history at the University of Sussex in England, offers cogent interpretations of the larger significance of Brandt’s themes and preoccupations.

"From working class families to bomb-damaged London, literary portraits and sculptural nudes, Brandt applied the same surrealist slant to all of his subjects... The book contains nearly 100 duotone images, each offering the signature somber air of Brandt, and every section introduced by Hayworth-Booth. The main essay has been written by David Mellor, professor of art history at the University of Sussex, and provides an insightful account of the social changes Brandt lived through and the influence they had on his work." -- Tracy Hallett -- Black&White
