New in the Photofile series, a mini-monograph on Belgian photographer Harry Gruyaert.
Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was a pioneer of European colour photography in the 1970s and 1980s.
Autonomous, non-narrative and often witty, Gruyaert\'s images are complex encounters with colour and light.. it\'s the emotion of photography.\' Most recently he has begun to explore the experimental freedom offered by digital photography.
A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, he describes colour as \'a means of sculpting what I see ...
Later he travelled the world, seeking out different kinds of light and exhibiting a particular fascination with borders, interfaces and incongruous juxtapositions.
In 1972, he created TV Shots, a series of images created by turning the dial on a television set at random and photographing the screen.
