Background information
The out-of-print volume 'Die Poesie der Form' (The Poetry of Form) accompanied an exhibition on the work of the prominent US-American photographer Imogen CUNNINGHAM. Between 1906 and 1976 she created works that were initially - inspired by the photographer (and pictorialist) Gertrude KÄSEBIER - impressionistic in character, and her later works are attributed to the lineage of straight photography, especially since co-founding the f.64 group (with Andel ADAMS and Edward WESTON, among others).
Content
The volume 'Die Poesie der Form' (The Poetry of Form) contains around seventy-five black and white plates, which are neither strictly chronologically nor thematically organized. In addition to bodies, plants and still lifes, there are portraits of August SANDER, Edward WESTON, Fida Kahlo, John Winkler and a self-portrait, a shop window reflection from 1955, among others.
