Description

Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (33,5 x 23 cm). In English. 295 p., color ills. Ara Güler. Vanished colours. Texts by Ara Güler, Mehmet Baydur. In Ara Güler's words: 'My first book on Istanbul was in black and white, my second book, 'Vanished Colours', is in colour. Colour photographs lack the solidity of black-and-white, and in this book I have given priority not so much to artistic considerations as to an attempt to present the city of Istanbul in its own characteristic colours. My aim is not to produce art photography, but simply to reflect Istanbul as it really is. What does Istanbul mean to me? Istanbul is Jean Giraudoux' La Folle de Chaillot. Every since my childhood I have always identified Istanbul with the madwoman of Chaillot, a crazy woman of the type you can find in the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman civilisations.'. Second Edition.
