| book description |

Inspired and guided by Bernd and Hiller Becher, themselves pioneers in the area of documentary photography, the artists of Germanyâ€™s DÃ¼sseldorf School not only pushed the boundaries of their teachersâ€™ practice, but also ushered in three generations of technical and compositional achievement that is rivalled in importance only by the arrival of colour photography. This book introduces readers to the historic, cultural, and scientific environments in which the Bechersâ€™ practice thrived. It explores the teaching philosophies with which they encouraged their students and considers the qualities that highlight the DÃ¼sseldorf School: intricate detail, large scale, painterly distance combined with an immersive quality. The plate section, organised by artist, features 160 beautifully reproduced images by Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Candida HÃ¶fer, Axel HÃ¼tte, Laurenz Berges, Elger Esser, Simone Nieweg, JÃ¶rg Sasse, and Petra Wunderlich.
