Albert Watson : Maroc

Preview

Kahmann Gallery shows a selection of images of Albert Watson’s (UK, 1942) Moroccan travels, which he made in 1997 and 1998 and published in the book Maroc. With the personal insight of a diarist and the detailed eye of an artist, he has captured the physical beauty and spirit of this remarkable country and its people. An almost impossible task, as Watson says himself: “It is impossible to capture even a fraction of what this great country has to offer in a single book, so what I have made is really a sketch, done over a periode of thirty nine days.” From Casablanca to villages, farms, and remote desert areas, Watson captured the soul of Moroccans from all walks of life in his portraits: “The people are the magic of this country’. His wonderful tale of Morocco is made complete with his extraordinary photographs of landscapes, architecture and animals.

Albert Watson has been photographing for over 40 years, working for  magazines , like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Rolling Stone, as well as ad campaigns for world-renowned brands. During his career, Watson has won awards,  one of the highlights was receiving the Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth II in 2015, for his contributions to the world of photography and art. Watson’s work has been exhibited  worldwide and is  in international private and public collections, including The National Portrait Gallery in London and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
