YUGOSLAVIA 1926In the mid-1920s the prominent German photographer Kurt Hielscher was invited by the government in Belgrade to travel to Yugoslavia and create a book with images of the state, founded only a few years earlier. Kurt Hielscher had already published similar and very successful books about Italy, Spain and Germany, so he took up the invitation with enthusiasm.
In Belgrade he got an interpreter, letters of introduction to all local authorities and cars were at his disposal. Hielscher gratefully acknowledges all help in this endeavour. He also thanks the Zeiss-Ikon and Agfa factories for their outstanding cameras, lenses and photo plates. The journey - from the Alps to Novo Mesto towards Bulgaria - produced 1200 photographs, from which he chose 191. In Hielscher's words, those were the few "which would try to show the attractive, diverse character of the landscape, the architecture, and way of life of the Yugoslavs... I didn't want to create a collection of postcards". The result is a stunning and often moving collection, published in a book in 1926 in Berlin by Ernst Wassmuth AG. On Agfa Chromo Isorapid plates. Fotografije Jugoslavije koje je 1920. godine snimio njemački fotograf Izvor: Klix.ba Kurt Hielscher je bio njemački fotograf koji je ranih 1900-ih godina putovao po Evropi i snimao zapanjujuće fotografije. Autor je nekoliko uspješnih knjiga u kojima se nalaze fotografije Italije, Španije, Njemačke i Jugoslavije. Sredinom 1920-ih godina Hielscher je putovao po cijeloj Jugoslaviji praveći knjigu sa slikama pejzaža, država i naroda. U Beogradu mu je dodijeljen tumač, dobio je dozvolu za ulazak na posjede od svih lokalnih vlasti, a na raspolaganju su mu bili i automobili. Zeiss-Ikon i Agfa tvornice su mu dale izvanredne fotoaparate, objektive i fotoploče. Na svom putu od slovenskih Alpa do granice s Bugarskom, Hielscher je napravio ukupno 1.200 fotografija. Od tog broja je izabrao 191 fotografiju i objasnio da je pokušao prikazati atraktivne, raznovrsne pejzaže, arhitekturu i način života stanovnika Jugoslavije. Istakao je da njegova namjera nije bila da pravi razglednice. Njegova zbirka je 1926. godine objavljena u Berlinu. Ova dragocjena knjiga se već dugo ne printa, a sve fotografije se nalaze na Agfa Chromo Isorapid ploči. |
