More DescriptionHerbert List s photography has become part of the classical canon of 20th-century pictorial art. By their metaphysical and visual presence, his pictures are as familiar to us and as influential as de Chirico's visions are in painting. This monograph on List's oeuvre presents for the first time all phases of his creativity: the early fotografia metafisica; his Greece photographs blending Antiquity, Mediterranean light and Eros in visions of Classical Hellas; his sensitive homoerotic pictures; his artist portraits of the 40s through to the 60s; and the human interest photography of his late work. Essays by noted authors explore List s particular interests and the photo-historic context of his oeuvre. A selection of List s own writings, a comprehensive chronology, a bibliography, a list of exhibitions, and a list of publications complete this lavish volume.
