Spesso portava con sé in giro per chicago i bambini di cui si occupava: loro la adoravano e la guardavano perplessi. scattava in continuazione con la sua rolleiflex, in silenzio e sempre pronta a catturare il dettaglio. quel riservato tenersi fuori da un circuito mediatico del quale avrebbe benissimo potuto far parte.Įra dai tempi di mary poppins che una nanny non godeva di tanta celebrità, e maier faceva qualcosa di altrettanto non convenzionale che volare con l'ombrello. perché anche se ogni elemento della sua storia sembra fatto apposta per alimentare l'alone di mistero che la circonda, e quindi la nostra curiosità postuma sulla "bambinaia fotografa", il suo tratto principale fu la circospezione. With more than 235 full-color and black-and-white photographsĬ'è qualcosa di impudìco nel nostro scandagliare la vita di vivian maier. Vivian Maier: A Photographer Found is a striking, revelatory volume that unlocks the door to the room of a very private artist who made an extraordinary number of images, chose to show them to no one, and, as fate would have it, succeeded brilliantly in fulfilling what remains so many people's secret or unrealized desire: to live in and see the world creatively. The text draws upon recently conducted interviews with people who knew Maier, which shed new light on her surprising photographic accomplishments and life. With more than 235 full-color and black-and-white photographs, most of which have never been published in book form, this collection also includes images of Maier's personal artifacts and memorabilia that have never been seen before. With lively text by noted photography curator and writer Marvin Heiferman, this definitive volume explores and celebrates Maier's work and life from a contemporary and nuanced perspective, analyzing her pictures within the pantheon of American street photography. Vivian Maier: A Photographer Found is the largest and most in-depth collection of Maier's photographs to date, including her color images. The story of Maier-the secretive nanny-photographer who became a popular sensation shortly after her death-has only been pieced together from a small selection of the images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. Photographer Vivian Maier's allure can be explained by the mystery that surrounds both her life and her work. The largest and most comprehensive selection of the work of American street photographer Vivian Maier
