In 1956, William Klein's NEW YORK, one of the most important books in the history of photography, was published. The work created a veritable revolution. Breaking with the medium's taboos and traditions, Klein developed a radically new way of taking pictures, inventing a violent, graphic style combining black humour, social criticism, satire, and poetry. "For the first time, wrote the poet and critic Alain Jouffroy, photographs led the evolution of the visual rats. Klein developed practically all of the themes dealt with later by Pop Art and the New Realism..". The book whose original title was NEW YORK IS GOOD & GOOD FOR YOU became a legend, an entry in rare book catalogues... and impossible to find. Therefore, a group of six European publishers, with Japanese and American partners, planned a re-edition. The design and content of this new version are considerably changed - almost a hundred more pages and dozens of never before published pictures. Painter, photographer, movie maker, American in Paris, William Klein escapes pigeonholes, categories, movements. Born in New York in 1928, Klein grew up on the mean streets of Manhattan, shuttling between blackboard jungles, experimental schools, pool halls and the Museum of Modern Art. At eighteen, he graduated from New York's City college and, at twenty, after serving for two years in the US Army in Europe (of which one was at the Sorbonne!), he settled in Paris to become a painter. He worked briefly with Fernand Leger and in the early fifties did kinetic murals for Italian architects, absorbing along the way European visual history from Masaccio to the Bauhaus. In 1954, after six years of experimenting in painting, graphic design, andabstract photography, he returned to New York, where he embarked on a complicated love-hate affair with his native city that became an unique photographic adventure. Half amazed foreigner, half streetwise New Yorker, he set out to record on film his vision in a photographic diary.

网络上读的电子版。冲突强烈但又隐含着秩序。上街随手拍更多的只能是混乱,而没有秩序。

在影展看了部分,黑白的质感太惊人了。Klein 犹如让我们带上 VR 带着走进 60 年代的 New York,不止是有趣而已,即使没有参与塑造,也算是完美的记录了 NY 的气质。

懂点儿画画儿/艺术是多么重要!开篇的四个人头和最终结尾的原子弹强光笼罩下的纽约城简直是再惊艳不过了,再次证明了二次构图的伟大以及满铺画面的冲击!

書中有一張在Ebbets Field裡拍攝的照片,滿座的球迷中,一位體面的女士舉著一張印有「LETS GO DODGERS」的應援牌。《New York》出版於1956年,隔年道奇球團就搬去了洛杉磯,從此紐約再也沒有Dodgers。這張起初拍攝時頗顯輕快的照片,現在成了一張關於紐約的憂鬱圖像。

Focus on a city,strong,is like a series of rock music,faces,advertisements.凌乱的节奏。
