Werner Bischof: Questions to My Father

by: Dieter Buchmann
In 1916, with the Great War reducing northern Europe to a treeless, shattered void, a boy was born to the prosperous director of a pharmaceutical firm in Zurich. He was named Werner.

Werner Bischof After The War (Motta Photography Series)

First off, anyone who travels by bicycle through war torn Germany in 1945 to document signs of the early recovery after the war (as the photographer did) deserves a special nod. This book is a selection of photos from that trip through Germany as well as trips across Europe in the following two years. Fantastic concept, I'll admit. The end product, however, is mixed. There are some photos worthy of framing, but also some shots that leave one wondering: "they picked this shot from the many that must have been available?" The cover photo, of course, is priceless.
