Corbijn, Anton (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789464941609)

The life's work of one of the world's top portrait photographers whose photos on fashion and and of rock musicians such as Depeche Mode have redefined the genres.

This retrospective book shows highlights and rediscovered images, celebrating his legacy and lasting influence on visual art and pop culture to this day. Representing the ultimate publication on the photography of Anton Corbijn, one of the most important photographers and directors working today, this collection of images, many never before published, focuses on Corbijn's evolving fascination with the music industry, fashion world and contemporary art from the 1970s to the present day. Corbijn's interest in music has been the engine of an illustrious decades-long career that most recently has veered to the making feature length films such as The American, A Most Wanted Man, and Life. This gloriously illustrated, oversized book pays homage to Corbijn's obsession with rock and roll - an interest that has led to lifelong friendships with Bono, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Michael Stipe, Dave Gahan, and other iconic musicians. Looking back over three decades, it features hundreds of creative, offbeat images that Corbijn was able to capture largely as a result of his close relationships with his subjects. Nearly every revered musician and band is represented in Corbijn's archives: Nick Cave to Nirvana, U2 to R.E.M., the Rolling Stones to Siouxie and the Banshees. Many of the portraits are accompanied by their subjects' own take on Corbijn's distinct style and approach. A fitting tribute to an innovative and deeply passionate photographer, this book will rock the worlds of fans of music and photography.
