A full-career retrospective on the work of Vivian Maier, bringing
together a selection of key works from throughout her life and
career. When Vivian Maier's archive was discovered in Chicago in
2007, the photography community gained an immense and singular
talent. Maier lived in relative obscurity until her death in 2009,
but is now the subject of films and books, and recognized as one of
the great American photographers of the 20th century.Born in New
York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for
much of her adult life. It was during her years as a nanny that she
took many of the photographs that have made her posthumously
famous. Maier's incredible body of work consists of more than
150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various
recordings and a multitude of undeveloped films.Working primarily
as a street photographer, Maier's work has been compared with such
luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Joel
Meyerowitz. Drawing on previously unpublished archives and recent
scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier's
work. With texts by Anne Morin and Christa Blumlinger, this
thorough look at Maier's entire archive is organized thematically
in sections that cover self-portraits, the street, portraits,
gestures, cinematography, children, colour work and forms.A
valuable addition to the continuing assessment of Maier's work,
this book is a one-volume compendium of her most enduring images.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
