Limited edition of 30 with a signed and numbered book & carbon pigment print (42 x 29.5 cm). The print with the title Cupid/Amor (#508), The Eye of Love, Paris, 1952, was personally printed by the artist in 2020.
This photography book is the first-ever presentation of René Groebli’s pictures spanning a good half-century.
We cannot help feeling that here at work is a shaman of photographic grain and chromatic brilliance, an uncompromising craftsman trying out an endless array of ideas.
It is a feast for the eyes when the lifework of this artist and photographer passes in review. Every picture of this artist is a remembrance of lived time. An outstanding, astonishing oeuvre has accumulated in the course of his life. This publication bears witness. An enchanted world, page after page. It reveals René Groebli as a magician with the camera and the camera as his magic eye.
