{"product_id":"renzs-burri-mzslanie-bzstrisey-9783858818454","title":"René Burri: Explosions of Sight","description":"A member of the famous artist-owned photo agency Magnum Photos, Swiss photographer René Burri (1933-2014) found himself wherever history was happening during the late twentieth century. His countless travels took him across Europe and the Americas to the Middle East to Japan and China to document the twentieth century's major events. His extraordinary sense for people and their personalities resulted in remarkably candid portraits of celebrities, such as architects Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, and Luis Barragán; artists Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Tinguely; and Che Guevara, whose 1963 portrait with a cigar is one of the world's most famous and widely reproduced photographic portraits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published to coincide with a major exhibition at Musée de l'Elysée, Lausanne, \u003ci\u003eRené Burri: Explosions of Sight\u003c\/i\u003e draws from Burri's vast archive. With the museum, Burri staged both his first exhibition and his first major retrospective and maintained a close relationship throughout his life, entrusting it also with the conservation of his estate. The book brings together for the first time Burri's entire body of work, both photographic and nonphotographic, including previously unpublished archival documents, as well as book designs, exhibition projects, travel diaries, collages, watercolors, and objects Burri collected. In doing so, it offers a new and uniquely intimate view of one of the world's greatest photographers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mélanie Bétrisey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3858818453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783858818454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Mélanie Bétrisey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452803662079,"sku":"9783858818454","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b81a3531-8cd0-4782-b1ea-6e654ecb0240.jpg?v=1761930573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renzs-burri-mzslanie-bzstrisey-9783858818454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
