Softcover.
"At the end of the 1940s, Keetman was one of the young savages of the fotoform group, who, inspired by the experiments of the pre-war avant-gardes, wanted to develop a new language of photography based on formal reduction, the creative power of light and the subjectivity of individual experience of the world. Together with Otto Steinert and the other members of fotoform, Peter Keetman stands for the awakening of photography.
Peter Keetman escapes all formalism by working in many fields of photography – capturing the reconstruction of Munich, working out the hidden structures of landscape and natural phenomena, discovering the reflection of the greater whole in the smallest details and translating the dynamics of the economic miracle into abstract images. Particularly noteworthy are his series at the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg in 1953 and his "Schwingungen" – Keetman's magnificent signature in the history book of experimental photography. But the exciting intertwining of free photography and applied commission is also the subject of his œuvre, which allows us to discover a central figure of post-war photography in its many facets."
