- Book Synopsis
- Walter Pfeiffer is now a world-renowned photographer. Although he began his artistic career as a draftsman, Pfeifferâ s drawings are known to precious few. So this book is an overdue overview of his graphic work, continually engaged in a fertile dialogue with his photographic work. In the early 1970s Pfeiffer produced large-scale hyper-realistic pencil drawings that served as points of departure and even working models for his photographs. This style gave rise to personal works as well as Pfeifferâ s legendary posters for the Z¦"rich Filmpodium, magazine illustrations and commissioned portraits. Beginning in the 1980s and especially in the â 90s, Pfeiffer gave up photography for a time to focus on drawings in China ink, colored pencils and watercolors, in which the elegant free play of lines and colors moves into the foreground: intimate portraits of beautiful boys and the artistâ s close women friends, still lifes and flowers. These pictures are characterized by a cheerful, wakeful sensuality, sure lines and alternation between graphic reduction and a taste for rich ornamentation. This publication is not a conventional retrospective, but a stand-alone artistâ s book in which to discover the vivacity of his drawings and a new Walter Pfeiffer.
