Werner Bischof. Backstory

Werner Bischof : Backstory presents the remarkable journey of a Magnum photographer, told afresh and in his own words. With photographs selected from work made all over the globe, this book chronicles Bischof's nomadic life while on assignment from 1945 to 1954, and is published in celebration of what would have been his hundredth birthday. With an expansive collection edited by the photographer's son, Marco Bischof, Backstory brings together almost four hundred photographs, contact sheets, letters, diaries, and sketches that give an intimate understanding of Werner Bischof's creative process.
This volume provides a time capsule of postwar society, illuminated by the compelling story of this adventurous artist.
