Seller's Description:
Very good. Als Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) bereits Anfang sechzig war, begann sie den afrikanischen Kontinent, den sie bereits seit Jahrzehnten durch verschiedene Filmprojekte und fotografische Arbeiten kennengelernt hatte, häufiger zu bereisen. Ihr bevorzugtes Reiseziel war der Zentral-Sudan, wo sie den Stamm der Nuba entdeckte. Sie fotografierte die Nuba, lebte mit ihnen und erlernte deren Sprache. TASCHENs monumentaler Bildband enthält Riefenstahls Fotografien der Nuba, sowie der Dinka, Shiluk, Massai und anderer Stämme. Leni Riefenstahl bezeichnet ihre Erfahrungen in Afrika als die glücklichsten Momente ihres Lebens. Ihre fotografischen Arbeiten aus dieser Zeit stellen einen Meilenstein der außergewöhnlichen Jahrhundertkarriere der Kamerapionierin dar. Leben mit den Nuba. Leni Riefenstahls bemerkenswertes Afrika-Werk Riefenstahl's photographs preserve a romantic lost world, captured in images as powerfully seductive as the artist herself."-V Magazine, Los Angeles "If Leni Riefenstahl had done nothing but visit Africa and bring back her photographs, her place in history would be secure."-Kevin Brownlow, from the introduction" About the editor: Angelika Taschen studied art history and German literature in Heidelberg, gaining her doctorate in 1986. Working for TASCHEN since 1987, she has published numerous titles on art, architecture, photography, design, travel, and lifestyle. Life with the Nuba: Leni Riefenstahl's remarkable Africa oeuvre "If Leni Riefenstahl had done nothing but visit Africa and bring back her photographs, her place in history would be secure."-Kevin Brownlow, from the introduction The first female film director to attract international acclaim, Leni Riefenstahl began frequent trips to Africa in her early sixties, where she worked on various film and photography projects. Her favorite destination was Sudan, where she immersed herself in the Nuba tribe, learning their customs and their language. As warm and welcoming people, the Nuba offered Riefenstahl some escape from her past as a protege of the Third Reich. She would later recall her experiences in Africa as the happiest moments in her life. This book gathers Riefenstahl's images of the Nuba, as well as of the Dinka, Shilluk, and Masai tribes into a deeply evocative publication, capturing not only the beauty, expression and age-old customs of the tribes, but also Riefentahl's profound respect and love for these people and their land. The book includes an interview with Riefenstahl by Kevin Brownlow about her working practice in Africa, and an extensive bibliography and biography section.
