About Bill Brandt: Born in 1904, Bill Brandt became Britain's most influential and internationally admired photographer of the 20th century. The striking images Brandt created are essential works and have made him a monumental figure in photographic art history. His innovations expanded the medium of photography and gave his work a timeless quality. Brandt considered his nude studies as his favorite work and is acknowledged to have taken the genre into ground breaking new areas, creating abstractions in which the landscape of the body meets the landscape of the natural world. Many of his "distorted" nudes were made with an old wooden and brass camera he found in a second hand shop. The camera had a wide angle lens with a pinhole aperture and like nineteenth-century cameras it had no shutter. The acute distortion produced by the lens created an abstract perspective in his subsequent landscapes and nudes. The images he created with the unnatural perspective, unusual viewpoints and the use of strange lighting shocked people at the time, but forever broadened the boundaries of imagery. Most of his influential work with nudes were made in Normandy and on the Sussex Coast.

ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure (or héliogravure) is an intaglio printmaking process utilizing a carefully etched copper plate made from the original negative/image. Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative, This precisely etched plate combined with a fine "honeycomb" screen controls the amount of ink to be transferred to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph. Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making. In the early to mid 1900's photogravure was selected (when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects, but due to its significant expense and labor, the process is rarely seen today. From Man Ray and Ruth Bernhard to Brett Weston and Ansel Adams, many of the world's most renowned photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process. ***WARNING: The above listing description is COPYRIGHT protected material under United States & International Copyright & Intellectual Property laws.
