Bill Brandt

Whether taking pictures of London streets during the blackout or sleepers in the Underground during the Blitz; coal miners or high society in pre-war Britain; moody, pared-down landscapes or elegant abstracted nudes, Bill Brandt always imbued his photographs with strangeness and mystery, with a Surrealist touch, with rich connotations. This book in the Photofile series reproduces about sixty of his most memorable images.
