内容介绍

2006年维拉·默瑟开始随意地摆放花束，新颖的拍摄角度，拍摄出令人陶醉的静物。作为是对她身为人像摄影师的尊重，有时候也会同朋友一起进入到这些具有戏剧性的场景拍摄中。在她与丹尼尔在巴黎结婚时期，她拍摄了工作室里的艺术家还有城市咖啡馆中的陌生人。

这本书主要呈现了维拉•默瑟最新的创作：感人的生动的静物画面，其中的构造和调色板是失衡的。在2014年的采访当中，这位艺术家说“生命与死亡是两件伟大的东西，我希望我的照片能表达得更加强烈”。他的静物画实现了她毕生的梦想。当灿烂的鲜花，成熟的果实走向衰亡的边沿和死亡的动物，她的艺术表现就是他们典型的死亡象征和生命的礼赞。

 

In 2006, Vera Mercer (b. Berlin, 1936; lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska,and Paris) started taking photographs of ravishing still lifes with sumptuous flower arrangements, freshly shot game, and skulls. She occasionally also integrates friends into these theatrical productions, in a nod to her past as a portrait photographer: during her marriage to Daniel Spoerri in Paris, she captured artists in their studios as well as strangers in the city's cafés. This book presents Mercer's most recent creations: affecting and uncompromising tableaux vivants whose composition and palette are without equal. In an interview in 2014, the artist said: "Life and death are two magnificent things. I wish my photographs would convey that even more strongly." Her still lifes are the realization of a lifelong dream. With flowers in full bloom, ripe fruit on the verge of spoiling, and dead creatures, her art is a quintessential memento mori and at once an encomium of life.
