Bill Brandt    1904-1983

 

born in Germany

 

Bill Brandt

is a founding figure

in photography’s

modernist traditions

 

(...)

 

Brandt’s distinctive vision

—his ability to present

the mundane world

as fresh and strange—

emerged in London in the 1930s,

and drew from his time

in the Paris studio of Man Ray.
