Zoltan Glass: Speed And Spirit

By Amanda Nenu, Thomas Buchsteiner, Zoltan Glass

In the more-than-150-year history of the photographic image, Zoltn Glass--one of the most well-known ''unknown'' photographers--stands among the very few in his profession who have succeeded in combining a surefooted sense of narrative with a sensibility for Cartier-Bresson's ''decisive moment, '' the exact moment for pressing the shutter. Zoltn Glass: Speed and Spirit features a selection of more than 100 race and car pictures--most of them previously unpublished--photographed by Glass on behalf of Daimler-Benz on the Berlin Avus, the Nurburgring, automobile fairs, studio shots done for advertising, or on the street. The images here are characterized by atmospheric density as well as situational humor and spontaneity, returning the viewer to the initial excitement of the automobile
