When Harry Gruyaert first visited Morocco in 1972, it was love at first sight. On every return visit, he has tried to relive that initial feeling of enchantment, the splendid harmony between form and colour, people and nature.     From the High Atlas mountains to the desert, from rural areas to the bustling streets of Marrakech and Essaouira, Gruyaert’s photographs take us on a dreamlike cinematic journey through a reality that is nonetheless highly physical, its textures shaped by light and shadow. Each image has its own power and all of them reflect the importance of family, community and faith to the people of Morocco, as well as Gruyaert’s own innate curiosity and desire to understand different realities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745834410257,"sku":"NGR9780500027950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50924857098513,"sku":"GOR014126859","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002905559313,"sku":"NIN9780500027950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52457276408081,"sku":"CIN0500027951G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500027951.jpg?v=1771498410"},{"product_id":"harry-gruyaert-edges-book-harry-gruyaert-9780500545058","title":"Harry Gruyaert: Edges","description":"The ‘edges’ that Harry Gruyaert, a pre-eminent member of the Magnum photo agency, explores in this incredibly lush, full-colour book, are the oceans, seas and rivers where humans meet the edge and the water begins. This unusual volume, which opens from the top up, takes the reader to Israel’s Dead Sea, the Mali River in Niger, the North Sea of Iceland, South Korea and Biarritz, as Gruyaert’s sensitive photos record the subtle chromatic vibrations of the edges of the Orient and the Occident. Gruyaert opposes the hustle of the city with a pared-down, yet intense, nature. His landscapes are never empty; they are inhabited places where light, colour, objects, people and situations weave a serene, sublime tableau.   This beautifully produced photographic manifesto reveals the profoundly poetic character of Gruyaert’s work, and the sensual elegance of his faultless compositions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50283805245713,"sku":"CIN0500545057G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500545057.jpg?v=1750741041"},{"product_id":"harry-gruyaert-homeland-book-harry-gruyaert-9780500028995","title":"Harry Gruyaert: Homeland","description":"The award-winning Magnum photographer turns his lens on his homeland, Belgium.    Born in Belgium in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was one of the first European photographers to take advantage of colour, following in the footsteps of US pioneers like William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. Heavily influenced by Pop Art, his dense compositions are known for weaving together texture, light, colour and architecture to create filmic, jewel-hued tableaux. As a result, they often seem closer to painting than to photography.    Although his wanderlust has taken him to many exotic locations, Gruyaert has frequently returned to his country of birth. Here, in the homeland that he had considered so desolate in his younger years, he found an unexpected beauty. Urban lighting, neon storefronts, glimpses behind suburban dwellings, passers-by wandering drunkenly home, ports that never sleep, countryside with seemingly infinite horizons: his lens captures the singularity of his nation, portraying everyday life in a way that unfolds like a hyper-realistic film set. As a counterpoint to these more recent colour photographs, three portfolios of black-and-white images taken in the 1970s punctuate this visual immersion and journey through the lowlands.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50492452045073,"sku":"NGR9780500028995","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002908705041,"sku":"NIN9780500028995","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51325385343249,"sku":"CIN0500028990VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500028990.jpg?v=1771504807"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-harry-gruyaert.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
