Fred Herzog“With 80,000 images of Vancouver taken during the past half-century, Fred Herzog is the city’s premier street photographer… Replete with vacant lots and abandoned cars, his images invite the adjective authentic…” BC Bookworld, Feb 1, 2007 Read more >> |
Fred Herzog“[Fred Herzog is] lean and efficient, with modest essays by the curator, Grant Arnold, and the ineffable Michael Turner, along with a bread-and-butter interview with the artist. In this case, the photographs themselves are the star of the book and Vancouver – mostly downtown Vancouver, showing its modernist past like a piece of torn lining dangling from a tattered sleeve – is the star of the photographs.” Seven Oaks Magazine, Feb 26, 2007 Read more >> |
Fred Herzog“Arriving in Vancouver in 1953, Herzog captured, in a uniquely colourful style, the buzz and energy of a young, emerging West Coast city. …the brilliant colour and candid nature of Herzog’s images make this collection feel vibrant and contemporary. …This is an impressive book, and it provides long-overdue recognition for one of the West Coast’s finest photographers.” Quill & Quire, Jun 1, 2007 Read more >> |
Fred Herzog“These are quiet but beautiful pictures. It’s difficult to reconstruct this now, but Herzog worked in a time when being a colour photographer made him a maverick, even an outsider, and… he sacrificed a lot for colour. …Notice how often his pictures are constructed out of a very particular color palette, and how color accents work in his pictures. Balancing and echoing each other.” Online Photographer, Jun 20, 2008 Read more >>Read more >> |
