Description
Vivian Maier: A Photographer's Life and Afterlife by Pamela Bannos is a meticulous and passionate biography that sets the record straight about the life and work of this reclusive American street photographer. Contrary to popular myth, Maier was not a nanny who moonlighted as a photographer, but rather a dedicated artist who supported herself through her work. This authoritative biography sheds new light on Maier's life, revealing a complex and multifaceted individual whose fierce passion for privacy and control over her work has been misunderstood. Bannos uncovers previously unknown information about Maier's family, including her difficult brother, Karl, and examines the ways in which her photographs have been misconstrued or misidentified. Through meticulous research and a deep understanding of Maier's art, Bannos presents a compelling portrait of this visionary artist, one that challenges the myths that have surrounded her work since its discovery.
