Spanning five decades, Lost Time presents the evocative photographic legacy of Jonathan Becker, capturing the lives and spirit of the twentieth-century beau monde. A protégé of the legendary Parisian photographer Brassaï and a longtime contributor to Vanity Fair, Becker bridges fine-art photography with the role of the photographer as keen social observer. This remarkable collection brings together both commissioned and personal work, featuring over 200 images documenting Becker’s journeys through New York, Paris, London, and Buenos Aires from the 1970s to the 2010s. Portraits of artists such as Ed Ruscha and Cindy Sherman, writers like Arthur Miller and Eudora Welty, and musicians including David Bowie and Mick Jagger showcase Becker’s extraordinary eye and incisive social commentary. The monograph includes an introduction by editor Mark Holborn, alongside a narrative by Becker reflecting on his life, travels, and encounters with some of the twentieth century’s most iconic figures. Beautifully reproduced and housed in a cloth case, this luxurious volume is a captivating and essential addition for anyone interested in photography, culture, and history. Dimensions: 290 mm x 250 mm.
