Description

A beautiful homage to Paul Outerbridge, Taschen has created this 256-page showcase, edited in German, English and French.

Whether in his sumptuous images for advertising or his soft-hued nudes, Paul Outerbridge (1896–1958) was an alchemist of desire. Color was integral to his aesthetic allure, embracing the complex tri-color-carbro process to create a seductive surface of texture and tone. His quest was for “artificial paradises”—a perfection of form, with a surreal edge.

This concise monograph introduces Outerbridge’s unique aesthetic and its commercial and artistic trajectory, from his professional peak as New York’s highest-paid commercial photographer through to his retreat to Hollywood in the 1940s after a scandal over his erotic photography. With key examples from his oeuvre, the book explores Outerbridge’s innovative style through Cubist still life images, magazine photographs, and his controversial nudes, as well as his interaction with other avant-garde photographers, such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Man Ray. Along the way, we recognize Outerbridge’s particular ability to transform everyday objects into a quasi-abstract composition and his pioneering role in championing the expressionistic, as much as commercial, potential of colour photographs.

About Taschen

A German publishing house founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Taschen specialises in books on art, fashion, photography, architecture and pop culture. It is an international company with its own bookshops all over the world!

Committed to the planet, Taschen has achieved carbon-neutral status through its ecological partnership with Lélia Wanick Salgado, Sebastião Salgado and Instituto Terra.
Taschen is honoured to have contributed to the Institute's efforts for many years and to have published crucial photographic collections with the Salgados, including Exodus, Genesis and Amazônia, a celebration of the urgent issue of the rainforest, its indigenous cultures as well as its endangered beauties.

According to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Taschen produces 13,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. On the other hand, experts have estimated that the trees planted by Instituto Terra have so far absorbed some 108,000 metric tons of gas. Taschen's investment in the organisation therefore enables the publishing house to neutralise its own carbon footprint by purchasing "carbon credits" in the form of new Instituto Terra seedlings and supporting reforestation efforts. Each Taschen book plants a seed.
