Description: It's Beautiful Here, Isn't It... Luigi Ghirri Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE It's Beautiful Here, Isn't It. Photographs and texts by Luigi Ghirri. Aperture. New York. 2008. 152 pp. Quarto. First edition. First printing. Hardcover. With the photo-illustrated dust jacket. Color reproductions. Preface by William Eggleston. Text in English. Very good in a very good dust jacket. "[Ghirri has] a restless and playful imagination--one that regarded photography as 'a great adventure in thinking and looking.' Ghirri teases the idea of landscape with images of toy houses in a net bag, a building in a snow globe, and a woman looming over a scale-model city. But no matter how intellectual, his pictures about pictures project pleasure, amusement, and an openness to the unexpected." --The New Yorker Luigi Ghirri was an extraordinary photographer, as well as a writer and curator whose career was so rich and varied that it seems like a lesson in the contemporary history of the medium. Although well known in his native Italy, Ghirri does not yet have the international audience his work merits--perhaps because he died so young....Uncannily prescient, Ghirri shared the sensibility of what became known in the U.S. as the New Color and the New Topographics movements before they had even been named. Like his counterparts in Italian cinema, Ghirri believed that the local and the universal were inseparable and that life's polarities--love and hate, present and past--were equally compelling. Not surprisingly, his interests encompassed all the arts: he worked in Giorgio Morandi's studio and with architect Aldo Rossi, while influencing a generation of photographers, including Olivo Barbieri and Martin Parr. This dynamic new book includes a selection of Ghirri's essays...as well as a selected chronology."--the publis Boards with minimal wear. Clean and bright. Internally, a hint of tanning to page edges. Hinges sound. Binding tight. The dust jacket has minimal wear. Little tanning to the edges. Not price clipped. Now mylar protected. Text in English.
