Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Color
Douban
Joel Meyerowitz publishing house: Thames & Hudson 2024 - 1
Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Color traces the experiments in color and black-and-white photography of the young Meyerowitz, a pioneer in the history of color photography. An early advocate of color photography, Joel Meyerowitz has impacted and influenced generations of artists. For fifty-eight years, the master photographer has documented the United States’ ever-changing social landscape. During the late 1960s, Meyerowitz carried two cameras: one loaded with monochrome stock, the other with color. Just how, when, and why American fine art photographers switched from black-and-white image-making, prized within the gallery system, to color photography, once seen as the preserve of tourist photography, has been the cause of much debate. In Joel Meyerowitz: A Question of Color, Meyerowitz tells the story of his early days as a photographer when he was told that serious photographers took black-and-white pictures. "But why," he asked, "when the world is in color?" He then bought a color camera and various rolls of film and began to experiment with color techniques: a passion he continues to pursue. 194 illustrations / 120 in color

Book

Bystander
Douban
Colin Westerbeck / Joel Meyerowitz publishing house: Laurence King Publishing 2017 - 10
In this book, the authors explore and discuss the development of one of the most interesting and dynamic of photographic genres. Hailed as a landmark work when it was first published in 1994, Bystander is widely regarded by street photographers as the "bible" of street photography. It covers an incredible array of talent, from the unknowns of the late 19th century to the acknowledged masters of the 20th, such as Atget, Stieglitz, Strand, Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Kertesz, Frank, Arbus, Winogrand, and Levitt to name just a few. In this new and fully revised edition, the story of street photography is brought up to date with a re-evaluation of some historical material, the inclusion of more contemporary photographers, and a discussion of the ongoing rise of digital photography.

Wild Flowers
Douban
Joel Meyerowitz publishing house: Damiani 2021 - 4
乔尔·梅耶罗维茨(Joel Meyerowitz)在介绍他最新出版的《野花》(Wild Flowers)背后的情感时说:“我曾希望在鲜花的保护伞下,可以献出所有的生命。” 虽然这本书只是在某种程度上是新的,最近由Damiani出版,这版《野花》是Meyerowitz在1983年出版的更新版本,他的第三本书在此后的几十年里已经成为某种经典。横跨街头摄影、肖像、静物、风景、城市景观等,《野花》汇集了梅耶罗维茨从1967年到2020年整个职业生涯中的照片,所有这些照片都以不同的方式呈现花卉。“我喜欢它现在的感觉。它感觉更像现在的我,而不是30多年前的我。”与原版一样,《野花》的更新版其中的照片有增有减,并以更大的尺寸印刷。涵盖了生活中所呈现的意外的快乐、混乱、悲伤、美丽和幽默,核心是梅耶罗维茨闻名的生动的街头摄影。“花在我们的日常生活中的方式有这样一个范围,为我提供了一个机会,从一个倾斜的角度看生活。我们都被绣进了这幅挂毯,融入了这束生命之花,”他说。“我们认为花是理所当然的,或者我们把它们当作精致的美人来赞美,但它们不仅仅是这样——它们是日常观察词汇的一部分。花在我们的生活中发挥着更大的作用,我只是想庆祝一下。”

Aimed at children between the ages of nine and twelve, Seeing Things is a wonderful introduction to photography that asks how photographers transform ordinary things into meaningful moments. In this book, acclaimed and beloved photographer Joel Meyerowitz takes readers on a journey through the power and magic of photography: its abilities to freeze time, tell a story, combine several layers into one frame, and record life’s fleeting and beautiful moments. The book features the work of masters such as William Eggleston, Mary Ellen Mark, Helen Levitt, and Walker Evans, among many others. Each picture is accompanied by a short commentary, encouraging readers to look closely and use their imagination to understand key ideas in photography such as light, gesture, composition—and, ultimately, how there is wonder all around us when viewed through the lens. Joel Meyerowitz (born in New York, 1938) is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. He is a two-time Guggenheim Fellow, a recipient of both National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities awards, and a recipient of the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis.

Cape Light
Douban
Joel Meyerowitz publishing house: Bulfinch 2002 - 6
This classic volume of colour photographs of Cape Cod is back in print in an expanded edition with a new preface and photographs from Joel Meyerowitz's continuing body of work taken on Cape Cod. Originally published in 1979, the book is regarded as one of the most influential photography texts published in the latter part of the 20th century. Common scenes - tiny figures on a beach, a porch railing against a storm-darkened sky, a blue raft against a summer cottage - are transformed by the poignant light of the Cape and the photographer's subtle vision.

CAPE LIGHT
Douban
Joel Meyerowitz / Bruce MacDona publishing house: Aperture 2015 - 10
Cape Light, Joel Meyerowitz's series of serene and contemplative color photographs taken on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, quickly became one of the most influential and popular photobooks in the latter part of the 20th century after its publication in 1978, breaking new ground both for color photography and for the medium's acceptance in the art world. Now, more than 35 years later, Joel Meyerowitz: Cape Light is back. This edition features all the now-iconic images, newly remastered and luxuriously printed in a larger format. In Cape Light, everyday scenes--an approaching storm, a local grocery store at dusk, the view through a bedroom window--are transformed by the stunning natural light of Cape Cod and the luminous vision of the photographer. Though Meyerowitz had begun shooting in color on the streets of New York a decade earlier, it was this collection of photographs that brought his sensitive color photography to wider notice. Meyerowitz is a contemporary master of color photography, and this powerful, captivating photobook is a classic of the genre.
