Description: Walter Pfeiffer is now a world - renowned photographer. Although he began his artistic career as a draftsman Pfeiffer'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 Pfeiffer's legendary posters for the Z rich Filmpodium magazine illustrations and commissioned portraits. Beginning in the 1980s and especially in the 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 artist'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 artist's book in which to discover the vivacity of his drawings and a new Walter Pfeiffer.
