Nach dem Kofferpacken sind mein Mann und ich heute noch bei einer guten Flasche Weißwein zusammen gesessen. Da ich vor dem Urlaub nichts mehr zu lesen beginnen wollte, habe ich mir meinen neuen Istanbul-Bildband durchgesehen. Hauptsächlich sind Fotos aus den 50er und 60er Jahren des vorigen Jahrhundert in diesem Buch und ich war von den Fotos begeistert.
Meine Abendlektüre:
Ara GÜLER
Ara Güler's Istanbul
Ara Güler's Istanbul
(Vorwort Orhan Pamuk)
Product Description: This book is a vivid photographic record of daily life in Istanbul from the 1940s to the 1980s. Captured through the unerring lens of the award winning Ara Güler, the Eye of Istanbul, it reflects the citys melancholy aesthetic as it oscillates between tradition and modernity. Gülers remarkable duotone photographs are accompanied by evocative commentaries from Orhan Pamuk, another leading figure in Turkish culture. Both writer and photographer each held in their youth the ambition of becoming a painter. Here, each in his own way paints a brushless picture of his hometown and captures, through image and word, its very soul.
