The Luminous Years: Portraits at Mid-Century ReviewKarl Bissinger may not be a name well known to many, but after reading this beautiful portfolio with its fine introduction by Gore Vidal, this photographer's name will forever be linked to nostalgia.
Bissinger chose the post WW II years of the 1940s and 1950s to capture the personages that fell into the public spotlight during that time. The 'models' or subjects range from movie stars to writers, to poets, to fashion people, to the political giants of this country and European countries. Captured in their homes, offices, studios, and environs, Bissinger composed each portrait with the essence of the sitter in mind: Marlon Brando exudes his legendary sex appeal, Katherine Hepburn her elusiveness, Truman Capote his penchant for the bizarre and so on.
The portraits carry with them not only the preservation of the subject at hand, but of the atmosphere of those halcyon days when he war was over and we could rebuild the dreamworld so proposed by these memorable people. This is a beautiful volume of fine photographs that captures the flavor of the mid-twentieth century to a fare-thee-well. Grady Harp, July 05The Luminous Years: Portraits at Mid-Century Overview
