Here to discover is a breadth of visual style and approach, varied in form, unified by a singular sensibility. Gossage’s initial impetus for the book was his realization that Meeks had “made some of the most stylistically various single pictures that I had ever seen in a serious photographer’s work.” Meeks then agreed to supply his pictures, from which Gossage made his edit and created a new context for them to be seen one at a time. And so was born, in Gossage’s words, this commonplace book “of remarkable things, pictures that are as rich individually as they are in the narrative of Ray’s books, but in a different way. They stand as convincing in a style of variation with certainty, always having the feel and thought of a single author.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50612475592761,"sku":"1-0186","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/ACommonplaceBookRaymondMeeksRealm1792102595960_43485c38-39d4-4f23-8328-1dc9f484103c.jpg?v=1792176173"},{"product_id":"psychobuch-2-by-beni-bischof","title":"PSYCHOBUCH 2 by Beni Bischof","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePsychobuch 2\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benibischof.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBeni Bischof\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEdition Patrick Frey \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e752 pages, 1700 color images\u003cbr\u003e1st edition\u003cbr\u003e31 × 23 cm\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-3-907236-97-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFollowing the first successful publication of «Psychobuch» in 2014, «Psychobuch 2» now offers a further in-depth insight into the paradoxical universe of \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBeni Bischof\u003c\/span\u003e.
