Kolejny album fotograficzny z serii Phaidon 55, tym razem przybliżający zdjęcia i postać sławnego fotografa Wernera Bischofa. Książka składa się z 55 zdjęć, biografii i eseju poświęconemu artyście.

Werner Bischof Pictures offers an overview of the work of one of the twentieth century's strongest photographers. Bischof (1916-1954), whose oeuvre took shape quickly over the very brief span of his adult life, is known as a master of black-and-white.

Werner Bischof was a singular post-war photographer. His focus on showing the poverty and despair around him in Europe was tempered with a desire to travel the world, and convey the beauty and humanity waiting to be discovered through his lens.
