James Dean, Jazz und Hippies – Foto-Ikonen aus dem Werk von Dennis Stock › Legendäre Fotoaufnahmen von einem der bekanntesten Fotografen des 20. Jahrhunderts Dennis Stock ist der Schöpfer einer der berühmtesten Foto-Ikonen des 20. Jahrhunderts: der angehende Hollywood-Star James Dean mit hochgeschlagenem Mantelkragen und Zigarette lässig im Mundwinkel auf dem regennassen Times Square 1955 in New York. Das Motiv gehört zu den weltweit meist reproduzierten Bildern und hat wesentlich zum unsterblichen Ruhm des im selben Jahr bei einem Autounfall ums Leben gekommenen Schauspielers beigetragen. Dennis Stock war ab Anfang der 1950er-Jahre bis zu seinem Tod 2010 Mitglied der legendären Fotoagentur Magnum und hat neben sämtlichen Hollywood-Größen wie Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn oder Grace Kelly seit den 1960er-Jahren vor allem in der amerikanischen Jazz-Szene fotografiert. Der vorliegende Band begleitet eine Ausstellung im Aachener Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, in deren Mittelpunkt neben den bekannten Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen auch eine Reihe weniger bekannter Arbeiten von Dennis Stock stehen.

"'Tereska and her photographer: a story' is a photobook that presents a fictional story by Carole Naggar about the extraordinary parallel lives of Magnum photographer and co-founder David 'Chim' Seymour and Tereska Adwentowska, a young Polish girl who was the subject of Chim's most famous photograph. In September 1948, while on assignment for UNICEF to report on Europe's children, Chim photographed Tereska at a primary school in Warsaw, Poland. Millions of readers saw Tereska's picture when it was published in Life magazine in December of the same year, and were moved by her plight. She had received a shrapnel wound during the Wola massacre, and her image became emblematic of children’s fate during World War II. In the aftermath of the war, Chim tried to discover her full name and story. However, both Chim and Tereska met absurd deaths before ever meeting again. Based on historical facts, Tereska and her Photographer is a fiction built as a small opera, where all the characters in Chim and Tereska’s lives bring their various voices to the narrative. They include: Tereska, Chim, Tereska’s parents (whose father was a Freedom Fighter during Warsaw’s Uprising), Doctor Stanislaw Wiktor Sierpiński (a survivor of Otwock’s massacre), Enrique Meneses, Jr. (a journalist who explored Chim and journalist Jean Roy’s deaths in Egypt), and several others. The book’s chronology is nonlinear, weaving vignettes from 1948 and the present with those from Chim’s youth and Tereska’s early childhood. David 'Chim' Seymour’s photographs, along with several anonymous historical images, are inventively presented and arranged by award-winning book designer Ricardo Báez with striking typography by Juan Mercerón."--Publisher's website.
