Instead he emerged as a singular figure in contemporary photomontage, motivated by a vested interest in reviving the mechanically produced image and exploring its potentials as a medium even as it began to shift out of circulation in favor of alternative modes of image distribution. Stezaker's pieces employ a limited number of images in combination, often black-and-white studio portraits and landscape photography, creating an effect that is strikingly minimalistic and elegant for the collage medium. This is the first monograph to provide a historical account of Stezaker's life and career, offering insight into his art in the context of prevailing image appropriation techniques from the 1970s and '80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stezaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3960988915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783960988915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"John Stezaker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991030366463,"sku":"9783960988915","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d5b640d-792d-4c14-8825-3e7773e6452e.jpg?v=1683308040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-stezaker-john-stezaker-9783960988915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
