| HAUNTING PORTRAITS BY ONE OF NEW ZEALANDâ S FINEST PHOTOGRAPHERS Selected by the legendary photographer himself, the 79 extraordinary images in Glenn Buschâ s A Man Holds A Fish cement and celebrate his reputation as one of New Zealandâ s most important photographers. Almost other-worldy, and striking in their humanity and emotional affect, the images in this resonant book bear returning to again and again. Buschâ s work secured public notice in 1984 with the publication of Working Men. As art writer Peter Ireland observes in his essay, â In the early 1970s . . . the social documentary tradition was the reigning, respectable approach, and Buschâ s work remains foundational, even after half a century retaining a vividness and force in its resistance to any tendency to idealise in his portraiture, as this book so clearly attests.â A handsome, large-format book, beautifully designed by Seven, this book serves as both an introduction to the work of a hugely influential and widely regarded figure in photography in Aotearoa New Zealand and a celebration of his place in our art history. |
