Rene Groebli -Nudea

A standout among post-war Swiss photographers, René Groeblis work has spanned many subjects and genres, from zoology, architecture, and landscape, to portrait, documentary, and the nude. After having given up commercial photography, he moved to Southern France in 1979 and set up his studio in an old farmhouse. The nudes in this book are drawn from various points in his career, beginning in the 1950s, developing through the 70s and 80s, and reaching their culmination in the year 2001, which Groebli himself describes as most productive. No matter the era, his sensual, black-and-white images nevertheless appear timeless. With a text by Daniel Blochwitz.
