Description from the seller
William Klein – New York 1954-55
Éditions Marval, Paris, 1995
First French edition Marval
Important photographic monograph devoted to New York in the 1954-1955 years, seen by William Klein, a major figure in 20th-century photography.
Back in his hometown after several years spent in Europe, William Klein photographs New York with radical visual freedom: close framing, strong contrasts, deliberately grainy, blur, movement and street scenes captured up close to the inhabitants.
The work gathers his photographs that became iconic of Manhattan and its popular neighborhoods: children playing in the street, crowds, traffic, shop windows, signs, everyday gestures and urban tensions. Klein builds here a raw, energetic and profoundly modern vision of the city, at odds with the photographic conventions of his time.
Published by Marval in 1995, this edition revisits and expands the foundational work originally published in 1956. It adds numerous photographs to the original corpus and benefits from a layout entirely redesigned by William Klein. This French edition contains 254 pages and is a major work for street photography collectors and photo-book enthusiasts.
