Tender yet curious observations – is one way to describe Smoliansky's photography. This 1200-page book in 2 volumes republishes the nine book collaboration between late Swedish photographer Gunnar Smoliansky and art director Henrik Nygren.
This book brings together and republishes nine previous works with photographs by Gunnar Smoliansky. “Work” may be a bit of an exaggeration in some cases, if one insists on focusing on the number of pages in each of the nine: they include both slim volumes and an imposing monograph. The intention throughout has been the same, however: to try to shine a light on an admirable man whose life work is as unique as it is consistent. - Henrik Nygren
--- Swedish:
Det här är en bok som omfattar en återutgivning av nio verk med fotografier av Gunnar Smoliansky. ’Verk’ kan i vissa fall anses vara en överdrift, åtminstone om man stirrar sig blind på antalet sidor i respektive skrift: här ryms såväl tunna publikationer som en praktmonografi. Uppsåtet kan dock genomgående sägas ha varit ett och detsamma: att försöka belysa en beundransvärd människa och en lika enastående som konsekvent livsgärning. - Henrik Nygren
