Welcome to the newest edition of the SUPER POPULAR SINGLE-SELLER PHOTOBOOK-AUCTIONS by Ecki Heuser, 5Uhr30.com (Cologne, Germany) on CATAWIKI.
This time presenting a BEST-OF-SELECTION from my private collection and from recent acquisitions.

VERY BEAUTIFUL PHOTOBOOK about India by famous Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert -
in BRANDNEW CONDITION + SIGNED.

"India is bewildering: it takes you off-guard and makes you lose your bearings. It stimulates you intellectually. There`s an energy there that springs from a sense of constant chaos: the people, the cities, the bustle of the crowd. What immediately grabbed me was the multiplicity of elements you can use to create an image and the orgy of colours that you must attempt to control, in order to avoid stumbling into cliché." 
- Harry Gruyaert -

"Through a dozen of journeys over the last forty years, Harry Gruyaert has tirelessly criss-crossed the Indian subcontinent and bears witness in this book to a country in tension where permanently coexist tradition and modernity, effervescence and quietness. Multiple details, different layers are tangled in these photographs, most of which have never been seen before, oscillating between vivid colours and a nearly monochromic palette. The air is saturated with colours, light, noise, sometimes silence too. By sharing his multi-sensorial experience facing over the years the mysteries of this country, the Belgian photographer paints a contrasting picture that is the antithesis of exoticism. Harry Gruyaert narrates, in the introduction, his discovery and fascination for India. While different excerpts from the Dictionnaire amoureux de l`Inde by French author Jean-Claude Carrière punctuate this visual exploration of the Indian subcontinent." 
(from the publisher)

"Born in Belgium in 1941, Harry Gruyaert studied photography and film-making. He made a few films as director of photography for Flemish television before turning to color photographs in his adopted Paris in the early 1960s.
By the end of the 1970s he had travelled to the United States, India, Egypt, Japan and Morocco. The latter was a revelation to Gruyaert whose images of the country were later published in two different books. In the early 1970s, while he was living in London, he worked on a series of color television screen shots later to become the TV Shots now part of the Centre Pompidou collections. Around the same period he also photographed his homeland and produced two books, Made in Belgium and Roots."
