Sweet Life
Ed van der Elsken
Tokyo College of Photography /1968/japanese/310*310*35/Missing box
Sweet Life” is a collection of works by Ed van der Elsken (1925-1990), a leading Dutch photographer. Following Love on the Left Bank (1956), Bagara (1958), and Jazz (1959), Sweet Life (Acceptable) is a masterpiece of Elsken's work that has been published in both English and Japanese editions. It is a record of Elsken's 14-month journey with his wife Gerda, and is composed of illustrations taken in Africa, America, and Asia. Full of the “humanity” and “love” that is typical of Elsken, the powerful illustrations with their close-ups and contrasts shine through. This image was made possible by Japanese printing technology. When this book was published, Elsken wrote to his friend Eikoh Hosoe, asking him to introduce him to a Japanese printer because he wanted to use matte photogravure printing, similar to rose printing, and Hosoe ran around to check the plate-making process. From landscapes to portraits to snaps, 14 months of Elsken's “Sweet Life. Japanese edition.
