Ica Vilander - A Re-discovery

At the end of the 1960’s, everyone who was interested in photography knew her - ICA VILANDER. However, today the individual photographer, always happy to try out new things, fell into oblivion. In reference books of German Photography from 1945 onwards you look her up unsuccessfully. Without good reason! It was Ica Vilander who portrayed the famous artists of her time - Hildegard Knef, Helene Weigel, Gregory Corso, Maurice Béjart, Sidney Poitier. However, she attracted a lot of attention internationally with her nude portraits.

ICA VILANDER, born in 1921 in Brux, Czechoslovakia, training as photographer; since 1944 she lived in Berlin, where she studied graphics and experimental photography at the university of fine arts with Heinz Hajek-Halke; since 1959 first, also international, publications. In twen, there are journalistically inspired studies about the cabaret artist Wolfgang Neuss (8/1962) and about Ica Vilander the photo essay "My Grandma Photographs Nude" (4/1967). The occasion of the essay: Vilander, at that time 40 years old, lived closely together with her son's hippie family and, therefore, with her lifestyle she was the model of a fun-loving and independent woman for a whole generation of women.


She inspired Werner Klett to the movie "Die Augen der Ica Vilander" (The Eyes of Ica Vilander) and participated in the film "Übungen mit Darsteller" (Training With Actors) by Werner Schröter. Some of her photographic works are to be seen as overlays in the movie "Das Brot der frühen Jahre" (The Bread of the Early Years) adapted from Heinrich Böll. For the publishing houses Rowohlt and Heyne, she designed books. From 1980, she has almost completely retired from public life.

Her originals are rare, as a lot was destroyed and does now only exist as a copy in twen or in her books "akt apart", "La femme vue par une femme" (1967), "akt abstrakt" (1968), "akt adonis" (1969), and "vive le sexe" (1970).

40 definitive publications in Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and 70s Photography

Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s & 70s by Jeansnow ...

Tokyo-based publisher Goliga Books is about to release Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s & 70s — here’s a teaser...

During the 1960s and 70s in Japan, the photobook—through a combination of excellence in design, printing, and materials—overtook prints as a popular mode of artistic dissemination. Now, any discussion of Japanese photography must include these works. Today, the most famous works—such as Nobuyoshi Araki’s Sentimental Journey and Eikoh Hosoe’s Man and Woman—continue to inspire artists internationally.

Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and 70spresents 40 definitive publications from the era, piecing together an otherwise invisible history that has played out in tandem with photography as a medium. Included are some of the most influential works, along with forgotten gems, placed within a larger historical and sociological context. Each book, beautifully reproduced through numerous spreads, is accompanied by an in-depth explanatory text and sidebars highlighting important editors, designers, themes, and periodicals. Lavishly produced, this unique publication is an ode to the distinct character and influence of the Japanese photobook.

Select titles include: Nobuyoshi Araki, Ken Domon, Masahisa Fukase, Hiroshi Hamaya, Eikoh Hosoe, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Miyako Ishiuchi, Kikuji Kawada, Keizo Kitajima, Kineo Kuwabara, Yoichi Midorikawa, Daido Moriyama, Takuma Nakahira, Ikko Narahara, Yasuzo Nojima, Kishin Shinoyama, Shomei Tomatsu, Hiromi Tsuchida.

Occupation Soldier Fighters and Peacemakers in Afghanistan Ad van Denderen Documentary Photography

Occupation: Soldier
Since the end of the Cold War in 1990 and the expected conclusion of the Uruzgan mission in 2010, almost 90,000 Dutch soldiers have been involved in peacekeeping operations.

What do we remember of them, what remains in our collective visual memory? Precious little. Peacekeeping does not produce spectacular images. Except when it goes wrong. The fall of Srebrenica is an open wound in Dutch (military) history.

Even so, every day young men and women do their often dangerous duty. Drawn by the adventure, out of a need for camaraderie and sometimes also out of idealism and a sense of responsibility. In total, around 40 of them have lost their lives, more than half in Afghanistan.

As part of their annual photo commission, Document Nederland, the Rijksmuseum and NRC Handelsblad newspaper asked photographer Ad van Denderen to give this history a face. Van Denderen followed the recruits during their training in The Netherlands and on their missions in Chad and Uruzgan: hard working, operating with caution; a frequently unglamorous existence. He also turned his lens towards family members. He captured the Christmas and New Year’s greetings being recorded in a television studio and visited the homes of families whose sons will never return – the target of insurgents as a result of their occupation.

‘Wars are begun because the lust for war exists,’ writes Arnon Grunberg. His polemic examination of the notion of civilisation forms the introduction to Occupation: Soldier. Grunberg visited ISAF, NATO’s peacekeeping and reconstruction force in Afghanistan, in 2006 and 2007.

Ad van Denderen
Ad van Denderen (1943, The Netherlands) has worked as a photographer for Vrij Nederland, Stern, NRC Handelsblad, GEO and The Independent magazine, among others.

He has received a number of prestigious prizes for his work, including the Visa d’Or at the international photo festival Visa pour l’Image in Perpignan in 2001 and The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts’ (Fonds BKVB) oeuvre prize in 2007/2008.

Go No Go, his book on migration in Europe, based on 13 years of work, was published by Actes Sud, Mets & Schilt, Lunwerg Editores, Edition Braus and Paradox in 2003. For the 2008 SteidlMack/Paradox publication So Blue So Blue, Van Denderen photographed the 17 countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Earlier publications include Peace in The Holy Land, a book about Palestine (1997) and Welkom in Suid-Afrika, about apartheid (1991).

His work has been widely exhibited in (international) group and solo exhibitions. Go No Go was shown at FOAM and Imagine IC (Amsterdam), the Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna, Austria), La Criée (Rennes, France) and other venues. The project was developed by filmmaker Bors Gerrets into an audiovisual piece on DVD for Paradox. The film premiered at a special migration meeting of the European Parliament in 2004. So Blue So Blue opened in the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam (NL) in 2008 before going on to the Fotomuseum Winterthur (CH) in the spring of 2009.

In 2008, Van Denderen was invited by the Rijksmuseum and NRC Handelsblad to work on Document Nederland, an annual commission dealing with contemporary Dutch history, which that year focused on the Dutch armed forces. This resulted in the exhibition Fighters and Peacemakers in the Fotomuseum Den Haag in 2009/2010 and the book Occupation Soldier (NRC Books/Paradox, 2009).

Widerness Photographs by Mischa de Ridder, review by photography in print ...
Artimo, Amsterdam, 2003.
72 pages, 54 color illustrations, 12”x14½″.

This book was published five years ago, and we are shocked that it is still available. It has a series of 18 wonderful landscapes, and a set of double sided pages that can be removed to form two different wall sized photographs. The pieced together image is not a Gursky, but it would make any dentist from the 70’s envious, and have flashbacks of their waiting room. In the current economical climate you probably will hold off on buying that Gursky, but you can afford to purchase this book before it’s out of print. Right now, Wilderness is a steal at $42…add one to your collection. -PIP

In this book, lushly photographed flora isolated in nature alternates with enlarged details from the wilderness compositions that emphasize the four-color separation methods used in commercial printing. The detail pages encourage appreciation for the graphic qualities of the quiet views of undeveloped nature where tree bark ridges and layered flowering branches become organic patterns. The book’s pages are perforated for easy removal as the included images can be assembled to create two wall sized installations, each 1644 x 2082 mm (64.5 x 82.1 inches). -Artimo

Ever since landscapes and natural vistas have been depicted in paintings, photographs and films, the viewer has been able to have the experience, to feel that he can not only be at the site, but can also find himself in the world of the artist – in the skies of Van Ruysdael, on the beaches with Rineke Dijkstra’s young girls.
– Maria Barnas

Misha de Ridder’s photographs demonstrate an experience of nature and quite simply, though he won’t admit it, the beauty of color photography.

The book of de Ridder’s Wilderness images is very interesting. In the book, the lushly photographed scenes alternate with enlarged details from the wilderness compositions that emphasize the four-color separation methods used in commercial printing.
But, it gets better. The book’s pages are perforated for easy removal as the included images can be assembled to create two wall sized installations, each 1644 x 2082 mm (64.5 x 82.1 inches):
