Author: Wittgenstein, LudwigMore than any other modernist philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein maintained a notably unusual relationship to photography. From an early age he took a particular liking to the medium and returned to it often, as both a practitioner and a collector. The first volume to appraise his relationship to photography, this book presents his famous and only partially published photo album from the 1930s alongside portraits and excerpts from other collections.These include: photographs of the house for Margarete Stonborough-Wittgenstein that he designed with Paul Engelmann; the composite portrait of the Wittgenstein siblings; excerpts from Wittgenstein’s various photo booth pictures and famously staged self-portraits; excerpts from his 'Nonsense Collection'; his serial photographic documentations of places and people; and a selection of his picture-postcard correspondences with family and friends.ISBN 9783753300498.
