{"product_id":"writing-the-picture","title":"David Hurn: Writing the Picture [2010] hardback","description":"Writing the Picture is a rare collaboration between a leading photographer and an eminent poet. Even more rare, it is a collaboration in which the poet responds to images, rather than a photographer or artists 'illustrating' a poem. The book evolved from a previous assignment for The Independent in which Fuller agreed to write about Hurn's pictures  as long as the 'captions' could be poetryA\".  The result was a group of startlingly good poems which drew upon and illuminated a selection of Hurn's equally stunning images. Writing the Picture extends that early success into a book of 50 duotone images and poems in which Hurn's particular skill as a photographer of reportage sparks Fuller's own skill as a writer who both draws out meaning and launches into the thought-provoking. The sheer variety of image and poem makes the book an all the more impressive achievement. From warm portraits of rural Wales to a drug addict shooting up in London, from a raucous hen night to a moving suite of images of the aftermath of the Aberfan disaster, photographer and poet respond to all aspects of life.\u003cbr\u003eThe result is such a marvellous and magical meeting of artforms that it is surprising it doesn't happen more frequently. Hurn and Fuller provide an intriguing Introduction by way of a 'conversation' in which they discuss the processes of their collaboration and the differences and similarities which poetry and photography share in the creating of art.","brand":"Hurn, David \u0026 Fuller, John","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47185734926675,"sku":"XV81854115317","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":51088761225555,"sku":"9781854115317","price":28.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/hurn-david-fuller-john-david-hurn-writing-the-picture-2010-hardback-1170504572.jpg?v=1748459012","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/writing-the-picture","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
