Description: "Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was one of the first European photographers in the 1970s and 1980s to explore the creative potential of colour. Influenced by American photographers, as well as by cinema, his work defined new territory for colour photography ... A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, he has embraced the possibilities of digital photography in his most recent work, feeling that it allows him to take more risks and to capture light in a new way ... This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is an ... overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses." --
