Inscribed "To Val - Ferenc Berko 14/12/92". And with a brief gift inscription by previous owner, which reads "with thanks for our hours of reading together Love, Linden". Signed copies rarely offered. Ferenc Berko (1916 - 2000), a Hungarian-born photographer, is recognized as one of the 100 most important photographers of the 20th century. Though Berko is best known for his black-and-white photos, which take on silhouettes and negative space and - of course, light - he was actually more widely recognized as a pioneer of color photography, becoming one of the first to recognize that color film was a new way to explore the world. A long time resident of Aspen, Colorado, He became the official photographer for the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies and the Aspen Music Festival and opened his own mountainside ski photography business. He is considered the Dean of Aspen Photographers.

Synopsis

This comprehensive overview of the works of Rumanian-born photographer Ferenc Berko was created from an exhibition sponsored by Kodak. It presents the entire spectrum of Berko's creative work, beginning with his photography from the 1930s, which showed control of composition and use of light and shade not prevalent until decades later. "Many of the visitors to the exhibition have expressed surprise at the dates under Berko's pictures, amazed to learn that any photographer was making such modern use of color as early as the 1940s. The same can be said of his nudes." This volume also reveals Berenc as working "in the tradition of the major photojournalists of the time."--Karl Steinorth.
