Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Von Dewitz, director of the Agfa Foto-Historama of Museum Ludwig Cologne, and Lebeck, a longtime photojournalist and collector, focus here on the history of photojournalism in illustrated news magazines. This book consists mainly of reproductions of news reports with very concise, chronological essays printed in parallel German and English text. Most of this work deals with 20th-century press photography up to 1973, with considerable attention to war pictures; but there are also chapters on 19th-century photo-reproduction techniques, including woodcut and early halftone processes. Kiosk is unique because it includes many important examples from popular German serials such as Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung and Die Woche. While the choices of illustrations are generally successful enough to minimize the need for lengthy essays, the reader may want to search for more historical background on the magazines included. It should be noted that German is the primary language of this book and that the bibliography and a section including biographical sketches of photographers are provided only in German. Thus, this is recommended for academic libraries and specialized art collections. Eric Linderman, East Cleveland P.L., OH

Synopsis
"First comes the photo, and then morality", "If your pictures aren't good, you haven't been close enough" - self-conscious and impolite, that's the way press photographers talk about their difficult trade. They are working at the front line not only in times of war, they condense contemporary history's events and everyday life situations, they tell stories in pictures which are meant to state what is essential on just a few pages. Photo journalism exists since 150 years. Even though its artistic ambitions often have to stand back, it is one of the most impressive chapters in the history of photography. What readers throw away after a short while, an observant contemporary has picked up and kept: photo journalist Robert Lebeck owns an important collection of magazines which documents the history of photojournalism. The illustrated broadsheet of famous photo reports extends from new railway stations in the 19th century to legendary photo series on the war in Vietnam, from Roger Fenton to Robert Capa, from the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung to USSR under Construction, from Life and Vu to Stern magazine.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Als vor rund 150 Jahren die Geschichte der Fotoreportage begann, enthielten die Zeitungen erstmals nicht nur umfangreiche Texte über unbekannte Begebenbeiten und Lebenswelten, sondern erstmals ergänzten längere Bildstrecken das Gelesene und holten so die fremde Welt auch optisch ins Haus. In der Folge entstanden in den 40-er Jahren des vorletzten Jahrhunderts schnell die ersten Illustrierten, deren Bilderwelt bis in die heutige Zeit die Zeitschriftenläden und Kioske prägt.
Der Fotoband 'Kiosk' enthält eine Auswahl der berühmtesten klassischen Fotoreportagen aber auch vergessener Bildergeschichten aus der Zeit von 1839 bis 1973, die der Fotojournalist Robert Lebeck ('Geo', 'stern' u.a.) sammelte und als Ausstellung der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte. Was der Leser in der Regel bald wieder wegwirft, wurde von Lebeck bewahrt und konnte so den Grundstock für eine umfassende Geschichte der Fotoreportage des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts legen.
Der Fotoband 'Kiosk' enthält eine Auswahl der berühmtesten klassischen Fotoreportagen aber auch vergessener Bildergeschichten aus der Zeit von 1839 bis 1973, die der Fotojournalist Robert Lebeck ('Geo', 'stern' u.a.) sammelte und als Ausstellung der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte. Was der Leser in der Regel bald wieder wegwirft, wurde von Lebeck bewahrt und konnte so den Grundstock für eine umfassende Geschichte der Fotoreportage des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts legen.
Der Ausstellungskatalog führt in neun Kapiteln durch die Epochen des internationalen Fotojournalismus. Auf eine historische Einleitung folgen jeweils typische und untypische Reportagen aus den beschriebenen Zeitphasen. Die dokumentierten Bildserien reichen dabei von Holzschnittreportagen aus dem Altonaer Bahnhof (1845) über Homestorys über Winston Churchill (1939) bis zu Bildstrecken über die Folgen der Umweltverschmutzung (1973). Die Storys stammen von bekannten Fotoreportern (Felice Beato, Robert Capa, David Douglas Duncan) und von unbekannten Künstlern, sie erschienen in Blättern wie der ‚Leipziger Illustrirten Zeitung', in ‚Paris Match', im KP-Organ ‚AIZ-Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung' oder in ‚Life'. Insgesamt bietet der Fotoband nicht nur einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Reportage, sondern auch einen Einblick in die Themen vergangener Jahrzehnte und Jahrhunderte.
'Kiosk' wurde zwar vom International Center of Photography (New York) als bestes Fotobuch des Jahres mit dem Infinity Award 2002 ausgezeichnet. Bereits die sehr hohe Zahl von insgesamt 666 Abbildungen auf rund 300 Seiten weist jedoch auf einen unschönen Mangel hin: Um sich an den Reportagen erfreuen zu können, ist die Zahl der Abbildungen viel zu hoch. Im Buch enthalten sind nicht nur einzelne Reportagefotos, sondern auch ganze Zeitschriftenseiten. Dies böte zwar grundsätzlich die Möglichkeit, Reportagen aus früheren Zeiten heutigen Lesern zugänglich zu machen. Allerdings wurden die Vorlagen nicht in Originalgröße reproduziert, sondern mussten wegen der hohen Zahl der Abbildungen für das Fotobuch stark verkleinert werden. So finden sich bis zu vier originale Zeitschriftendoppelseiten auf einer Katalogseite. Durch die Verkleinerungen ist nicht nur das Lesen der Reportagetexte weitgehend unmöglich, sondern auch die auf Briefmarkengröße zusammengeschnurrten Fotos sind häufig kaum noch erkennbar.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Robert Lebeck approaches photojournalism in a different way from other books on the subject, rather than show photos out of page context he has filled his fascinating book with the very spreads and pages that reader's saw when they bought the magazines. You can see the pages (a lot smaller than the originals and with the white paper printed as a light sepia) with the headlines, intros, columns of text and of course the photos. The material comes from the author's huge collection of European and American news magazines, eighty-three are featured, starting with The Illustrated London News (I was the Art Editor of this publication in the late Sixties) from 1871 through to the Sunday Times from 1973.
Lebeck has selected hundreds of spreads to show how photojournalism developed but I think he has concentrated too much on various wars during the last hundred years though I will admit that these conflicts do give photographer's the chance to show reader's, at home, something that they would have no chance (or want) to experience. Amongst all the conflicts there are plenty examples of magnificent photojournalism, the famous 1951 Spanish Village photo story from 'Life' magazine, here you can see how the ten pages were laid out rather than one or two photos from the seventeen used that most other photo books would use, the 1933 'USSR in Construction' magazine devoted forty pages to the construction of the White Sea Canal with photography by Alexander Rodchenko, twenty-two of these are shown with brilliant layouts also by Rodchenko, as well as filming the 1936 Olympics Leni Riefenstahl took the photos featured on nine pages from the famous French 'L'Illusration' magazine.
The book is beautifully printed and laid out, basically in German but each of the nine chapters has the same text in English and all the captions are in both languages (unfortunately the English captions are in grey type which is a bit hard to read) but what is not translated (why not?) are nineteen pages of biographies of various photographers and photo editors. If this sort of book appeals to you have a look at these two, 'Century' by Bruce Bernard, a monumental news-photo collection in over eleven hundred pages. 'Life' magazine, which at its peak was selling eight and a half million copies a week (1968) has plenty of spreads shown in 'Kiosk' and more can be seen in 'Great Photographic Essays from Life' by Maitland Edey, it has twenty-two of the best photo stories and like 'Kiosk' reproduces the actual spreads but here they are the same size as they originally appeared. The Spanish Village is included and also the other famous photo essay Country Doctor from 1948. Both were photographed by Eugene Smith.
'Kiosk' is a wonderful collection of photo stories and the author hopes to do a second volume covering photo books, like Robert Frank's 1958 'The Americans' or Dorothea Lange's 1939 'An American Exodus', much of what the he might include is shown (nicely as spreads again) in the stunning 'The Book of 101 Books: Seminal photographic books of the twentieth century' by Andrew Roth.

A History of Illustrated Magazines
24. Dezember 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
There are some remarkable photos that over years have achieved iconic status. For example, when one thinks of the Spanish Civil War, Robert Capa's image of the mortally wounded Republican soldier comes to mind. More recently, some of the photos from Abu Graibh Prison scandal will reach that same level of fame. I have always wondered how amongst the thousands of images of any one event, how a few chosen ones gain iconic status. robert Lebeck's "Kiosk" is the best answer that I have come across.
This book is more a history of the illustrated magazines than it is of photojournalism. It was the news magazines like L'illustration, London Illustrated News, Life, Leslie's Weekly and Colliers that created the demand for photos. In turn, photojournalism developed as a profession to meet their almost insatiable needs for sensational images. It was through this mass marketplace of images that iconic photos percolated up to the top.
Although this is an extremely well done German publication, it is not a scholarly work. The author is a photojournalist and not an academic. Robert Lebeck is essentially an illustrated magazine collector. Through photos of photo magazines, Lebeck visually shows how the illustated magazine changed over time. This book is a great example of the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Lebeck's collection of old illustrated magazines is absolutely fascinating and will enchant all those who purchase this book. Highly recommended.
