Description from the seller
Hendrik Kerstens - Silent Conversations:
Since 1995, Dutch photographer Hendrik Kerstens has been photographing his daughter Paula. His photos are now part of collections in museums around the world. Kerstens depicts Paula in relation to events in her own life, but he also projects onto her his fascination with the Dutch masters of the seventeenth century. Conceptually, Kerstens's photographs play with the dialogue between painting and photography, with seriality, and with time. His 'Paula photos' recall Vermeer's paintings. The sobriety and clarity of the photographs, combined with the stillness of the subject and the characteristic Dutch light, result in striking, beautiful, and memorable works. For Kerstens, however, it was never about merely imitating painting. As the series progressed, he became increasingly interested in the play of creating a conceptual and humorous dialogue between past and present.
Format 30.5 x 25 cm, 134 pages. Book in new condition.
