Werner Bischof (1916-1954) is known as a master of fl-and-white photography.
Werner Bischof was an early and quintessential victim of the art-versus-journalism dilemma, and, as a highly intelligent, sensitive individual, he knew all too well that it threatened to tear him apart.
Bischof is best known as a photographer of people: he was a master of figural composition in motion, as in his photographs of children at play.

WERNER BISCHOF: A RETROSPECTIVE marks the 50th anniversary of the loss of Werner Bischof (he died shortly after his 38th birthday in a car accident in Peña de Aguila in the Andes) and follows the landmark exhibition "Werner Bischof Photographs: 1932-1954" held at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts this February, 2004.
Bischof's early body of work exudes crisp details, strong design elements, great attention to geometric forms and is also where his humanism is first revealed.
Bischof's numerous landmark photo essays in such publications as Life and the Swiss periodical DU have established him as an accomplished journalist indeed, but his highly refined aesthetic, his photographs, are the ultimate legacy of his artistic genius.

 CZECHDESIGN.CZ: - Werner Bischof 1916-1954
Though Bischof died a tragic, premature death at the age of thirty eight already in 1954, his work is today seen as one of the peaks of socially concerned photography.
Bischof's photographs capture post-war Europe and major political and social changes of far-away exotic lands like Japan, South Korea, India, Indochina and South America in the first half of the 20th century.
Werner Bischof started his career as an artist in 1939 in Paris, where he opened a studio and soon started enjoying a growing reputation in fashion and advertisement photography.

 The Prague Post Online
Bischof titled the piece Vultures of the Battlefield, an allusion to the constant struggle that he himself faced during his brief but impressive career: capturing the true human story versus producing sensationalistic images of suffering.
Bischof's work shows a humanistic concern for the people as well as a masterfully artistic style, setting his work apart from that of other press photographers of the time.
The intimacy of Bischof's work is astounding not only because of the confidence his subjects obviously placed in him, but also because the scenes seem to be captured by the eye of someone going through the experience himself.

One of the last photographs Werner Bischof made before plunging to his death in a car accident high in the Peruvian Andes was a portrait of a boy playing the flute.
And though Bischof spent much of his time traversing combat zones, his war photographs are mostly concerned with the aftermath of conflict--what would, in another generation, be quaintly termed collateral damage.
Bischof came of age in the shadow of the Second World War--he served as a ski instructor in the Swiss army, the kind of scenic assignment that might explain why the Swiss cling so tenaciously to their neutrality.
