Description
William Wegman: Being Human brings together a vast and diverse collection of photographs by one of America's most renowned artists. Over 300 images, spanning four decades, showcase Wegman's unique approach to capturing the human experience. From portraits of everyday characters to experiments with visual language, this book presents a wealth of exceptional work that explores what it means to be human. The photographs are organized thematically, allowing readers to see Wegman's versatility and inventive mind at work. The artist quotes freely from fashion photography, Cubism, colour theory, the tradition of the nude, and the history of art itself, creating a rich and varied visual language. Essays and an interview provide insight into Wegman's approach to his subjects and their life in the studio. This extensive collection is a must-have for anyone interested in contemporary photography and the work of William Wegman.
