Swiss photographer Werner Bischof (1916–54) is best known for his
impressive black-and-white images, most of which were taken on
expeditions as a reporter in postwar Europe and during the
Indochina War (1946–54), and on his travels in the Far East and
South America. Far too little known are Bischof’s early colour
photographs, comprising studio work in fashion and advertising
photography as well as reportage from war-damaged European cities.
For these, Bischof used various types of camera, including a Devin
Tricolour. This elaborate colour-separation device exposed three
monochrome plates in a single exposure, each of them equipped with
a colour filter so that a true colour print was subsequently made
by addition of the three monochrome negatives. Some 200 of
Bischof’s Devin Tricolour negatives have been restored and a
selection of them is published for the first time ever in this
book. The beautifully illustrated volume is fascinating not only
from a photo-historical perspective. Even these early colour images
reveal Bischof's outstanding, sensitive aesthetic that
characterises his entire oeuvre. Some 100 colour plates are
supplemented with texts by Clara Bouveresse, the French photography
historian, Peter Pfrunder, the director of the Fotostiftung Schweiz
in Winterthur, and Luc Debraine, the director of the Swiss Camera
Museum in Vevey.
