GRUYAERT, Harry. Its Not About Cars.

(Antwerp, Belgium): A Fifty One Publication, 2017.  First edition.  Softcover.  21cm by 14.9cm.  88 pages.  While automobiles appear throughout, they act only as a leitmotif—a visual thread weaving together Gruyaert’s diverse colour photography. Emblematic of his work since the late 1970s, when he became one of Europe’s early adopters of colour, the book showcases his cinematic framing and masterful use of light, colour, form, and movement. His signature “bold, saturated tonalities” create autonomous visual elements that bring structure and depth to each composition. The collection includes previously unseen images, all transcend the literal subject of cars.  A very good copy in photo-illustrated wrappers. This example signed by the photographer.
