Description

Edited by Martin Gasser. Essay by Martin Gasser and Jakob Tuggener. Introduction by Guido Magnaguagno.

This book is the first comprehensive monograph on the Swiss photographer, filmmaker, and painter Jakob Tuggener (1904-1988). The main themes of Tuggener's oeuvre were work in the factory, life in the countryside, and society events such as the magnificent New Year's Eve balls at the Palace Hotel in St. Moritz. At the time of his death, Tuggener left an overwhelming and practically untouched trove of work, consisting of thousands of prints, over twenty silent films, and hundreds of drawings, watercolors and oil paintings. Based on this extremely rich and varied material, this book examines the visual and, through Tuggener's own texts, mental world of one of Europe's most creative but hitherto undiscovered artists. This book fills a long overdue gap in the history of photography, and is a significant addition to 20th century photography studies.
