A new publication has been published featuring the work of Dutch photographer and poet Gerard Petrus Fieret (The Hague 1924-2009). Fieret was one of the most prominent photographic personalities in post-war Dutch art history. With a unique, autonomous, and powerful visual language, he offers a surprising time frame of the cultural revolution of the 1960s. His unique, raw, black-and-white photographs are radical and original, free from cliché. In this book with selected photographs from a private collection, designer Van Zoetendaal offers a powerful overview of Fieret’s remarkable photographic oeuvre. Fieret’s beloved themes, such as women, street scenes, children, animals, and self-portraits, are arranged like a graphic novel. A monumental addition to the previously published books by this versatile artist and a valuable tribute to the “enfant terrible” of Dutch Outsider Art. The book opens with an introduction by photography expert Francesco Zanot. This publication is hardbound in linen with dust cover, size 240×290 and contains 220 pages.
