Ruth Bernhard: The Eternal Body originally published in 1986, is the first collection of Bernhard's finest nudes to be presented in a single, elegantly bound monograph. The photographs selected - many of which have never been exhibited - unveil the full range of her genius.

Bernhard's intense, studied camera work has produced images of the human form that clearly transcend the boundaries between the spirit and the flesh. This collection expresses her lifelong passion to understand the effects of light on the body and to reveal it in its purest form. Each radiant photograph contains a classic perfection, giving it a sense of the eternal and making it a timeless masterpiece of the human figure.

Complete with an insightful overview of Ruth Bernhard's work and life by Margaretta Mitchell, this timely reissue of a landmark volume offers the viewer a stunning array of fifty master prints by one of the most significant artists of our time, revealing a unique and personal vision of the human body that is as breathtaking as it is profound.

Work Description

Leben und Werk von Ruth Bernhard (1905-2006) sind mit der Geschichte der bedeutendsten Fotografen Nordamerikas verbunden, mit Anselm Adams, ihrem lebenslangen Freund und Lehrer Edward Weston sowie Immogen Cunningham und Dorothea Lange. Doch in Deutschland gilt es, das Werk der in Berlin geborenen Fotografin noch zu entdecken. Der vorliegende Katalog zeigt als erste Publikation überhaupt in einem Querschnitt durch ihr mehr als vier Jahrzehnte umfassendes Werk sowohl Aktfotos als auch andere Sujets, die einen wesentlichen Teil ihrer künsterischen Fotografie ausmachen. Berühmt wurde sie durch die Art und Inszenierung ihrer Akte. Anselm Adams bezeichnet sie als 'größte Aktfotografin' überhaupt. Sie war eine der ersten Frauen, die den Frauenakt vom männlichen Blick emanzipierte, revolutionär sind die beiden Fotos 'In the Box Vertical' und 'In the Box horizontal': der Akt im Pappkarton. In die Geschichte ging sie zudem ein durch ihre Studioaufnahmen, in denen sie unter raffiniert ausgeklügeltem Einsatz von Licht den Modellen und Gegenständen Tiefe verlieh. Ihre Werke befinden sich in den Sammlungen großer Museen der USA, Europas, Japans und Mexikos.00Exhibition: Galerie Albrecht, Berlin, Germany (14.11. - 27.11.2021).
