Description
Bernd & Hilla Becher Basic Forms A photographic study of industrial buildings, showcasing the Bechers' unique architectural typology. The book features 160 black-and-white images of structures such as mine shafts, blast furnaces, and cooling towers, which the Bechers photographed in a distinctive style. The photographs are characterized by their use of light and composition, with a focus on functional forms and parallel lines. The Bechers' approach to photography involved taking images early in the morning, on overcast days, to eliminate shadow and distribute light evenly. This resulted in a series of precisely rendered architectural forms, which are presented in a straightforward and unadorned manner. The images are centered and frontally framed, with no human figures or other distractions. This book presents the culmination of the Bechers' 40-year career, offering a unique perspective on the beauty and solemnity of industrial architecture.
