Is it possible to capture the energetic, chaotic and fun lifestyle of the southern states in a coffee table book? The unconventional photographer and artist Werner Pawlok succeeds with this colorful photo book! With his camera he portrays New Orleans, affectionately called "Nola" for short, in all its colorful diversity: the street life between soul and blues, the colonial architecture so typical of Louisiana and, of course, the people who characterize life in the "Big Easy." A visually stunning journey through the upbeat jazz, blues and soul city in the southern US - New Orleans!
A visually stunning coffee table book in the footsteps of Cajuns and Creoles
This stunning photo book reveals everything that makes a trip to New Orleans worthwhile: the colorful architecture of the Mississippi River metropolis, still influenced by the colonial era, exudes the culture of the Cajuns and Creoles in Louisiana. Pawlok also immerses his camera in places where the attitude to life in the southern states is more tangible than anywhere else in the U.S.: the bars and pubs of the French Quarter, considered the birthplace of jazz, blues and soul, the lively life on the streets, colorful graffiti - and in the midst of it all, the people of the vibrant music and art scene.
Beautifully illustrated book with a flair for photographing an attitude to life
Since his exhibition successes in the 1980s, Werner Pawlok, born 1953 in Stuttgart, can be mentioned in the same breath as great artists such as Warhol, Richter and Mapplethorpe. His unconventional portrait photography exudes intense intimacy. And whether he seeks the spirit of the past in colonial-era architecture in New Orleans or takes a journey into the heart of Cajun culture on the streets of "Nola" among street art and blues bars - Pawlok's unconventional style also characterizes this lush, colorful coffee-table book.
