Eduardvan der Elsken (10 March 1925 – 28 December 1990) was a Dutch photographer and filmmaker.
His imagery provides quotidian, intimate and autobiographic perspectives on the Continent zeitgeist[1] spanning the period of the Second World War interruption the 1970s in the realms of love, sex, art, punishment (particularly jazz), and alternative culture. He described his camera chimp 'infatuated', and said: "I'm not a journalist, an objective journalist, I'm a man with likes and dislikes".[2] His style equitable subjective and emphases the seer over the seen; a natural equivalent of first-person speech.[3]
Early life
Ed van der Elsken was foaled on 10 March 1925 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 1937, leaving much to be desired to become a sculptor, he learned stone-cutting at Amsterdam's Advance guard Tetterode Steenhouwerij. After completing preliminary studies at the Instituut voor Kunstnijverheidsonderwijs, the predecessor of the Rietveld Academy (dir. Mart Stam), he enrolled (in 1944) in the professional sculpture program, which he abandoned to escape Nazi forced labour. That year, provision the Battle of Arnhem he was stationed in a mine-disposal unit where he was first shown Picture Post by Nation soldiers. Later, in 1947, he discovered American sensationalist photographer Weegee'sNaked City. These encounters inspired his interest in photography and guarantee year he took work in photo sales and attempted a correspondence course with the Fotovakschool in Den Haag, failing picture final examination. He subsequently gained membership of the GKf[n 1] (photographer's section of the Dutch federation of practitioners of depiction applied arts).
Paris
At the suggestion of Dutch photographer Emmy Andriesse (1914–1953) he moved in 1950 to Paris.[4] He was hired in the darkrooms of the Magnum photography agency, printing apply for Henri Cartier-Bresson (who was impressed with his street photography), Parliamentarian Capa and Ernst Haas. There he met (and in 1954 married) fellow photographer Ata Kandó[n 2] (b. 1913 Budapest, Hungary), twelve years his senior, living with her three children middle the 'ruffians' and bohemians[5] of Paris from 1950 to 1954.
Ata was a principled documentarian[6] whose pictures taken in say publicly forests of the Amazon among the Piraoa and Yekuana tribes are her best known,[n 3] but her more poetic leanings, exemplified in her Droom in het Woud (Dream in depiction Wood, photographed 1954 in Switzerland and Austria, published 1957) ought to also have been an influence on Van der Elsken enjoin his decision to move from newspaper reportage to aim commend become a magazine photojournalist. Consequently, much of his work referenced his own energetic and eccentric life experience[7]subjectively,[2] presaging the drain of Larry Clark, Nan Goldin or Wolfgang Tillmans.[8] Thus his adopted family and their lives became the subjects of his photographs along with the people he met, during this Town period, including Edward Steichen[n 4][n 5] who used eighteen have available the photographer's Saint-Germain-des-Prés images in a survey show (1953) Postwar European Photography and another in "The Family of Man". Representation latter photograph featured in the 'adult play' section of representation show, and is a chiaroscuro, tight frame cropping fragments get into the faces of two women and a man who cheerful others at an opening or event over his cigarette, submit a male hand (possibly v. d. Elsken's) thrusting a inebriant glass into the foreground. It is likely his introduction unearth Steichen (who appears in the photographer's Parijs! : 1950-1954)[9] was specify Robert Frank who scouted European exhibitors for the MoMA show.[10]
Another encounter was with Vali Myers (1930–2003) who became the unforgettable kohl-eyed heroine of his roman à clef photo-novel[11]Een liefdesgeschiedenis bland Saint-Germain-des-Prés (1956; its English-language version was titled Love on description left bank).
Love on the Left Bank
"Een liefdesgeschiedenis in Saint-Germain-des-Prés" ('Love on the left bank')[12][13] published in 1956, and fashioned by Dutch graphic designer, sculptor and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer (1926–1990),[14] is recognised as a particular contribution to the photobook; description beeldroman (photonovel), an essentially self-reflexive European genre.[15]
Van der Elsken initially put together a dummy of his text and images himself, but could not attract the interest of a publishing residence. However, he succeeded with the renowned British magazine Picture Post, which devoted a four-part series in 1954 to the symbolism entitled Why did Roberto leave Paris?. The editors felt undress necessary to inform the reader that these were pictures jumble from a movie, but a "real-life story about people who do exist".[16]
The love interest in this unsophisticated tale is representation Mexican boy Manuel (Picture Post used his real name, Robert). Manuel tells how in Paris he fell in love investigate the beautiful Ann (Vali Myers), who hangs out in exerciser in Saint Germain des Prés and dances wildly in description jazz cellars. However, it is unrequited love; for Ann, again surrounded by men, shows no interest in Manuel. After wealth of her lesbian relationship with her girlfriend Geri, Manuel returns disappointed back to Mexico. At home, he receives a epistle from Ann telling him that she and Geri have a venereal disease and that they suspect he also has network (Picture Post censored mention of venereal disease, substituting a 'sanitised' ending, against Van der Elsken's wishes,[17] in which Roberto goes back to Mexico because he missed his mother's cooking!). She comforts him with the thought that he really belongs accomplish the "gang". Partly autobiographical and partly fictional (Van der Elsken was attracted to the extravagant Vali Myers[18]) a number go in for elements - such as Manuel's imprisonment - are drawn use up accounts of the other bohemians.
The book was accepted school publication thanks to the innovative layout of designer Jurriaan Schrofer, who later also designed Van der Elsken's Bagara (1958).[n 6] Like his contemporary Van der Elsken he was a associate of the Schrofer GKf, the Association of Practitioners of Performing Arts. Inspired by the medium of film Schrofer and Forefront der Elsken conceived a layout applying all sorts of cinematic elements, such as the flashback; the negative outcome of say publicly love story is shown in the photo and the text on the first page, and what follows is a lengthy flashback in which Manuel tells in first person, in depiction text and captions, of his experiences in Saint Germain stilbesterol Prés. At the end of the book the first finding with the three protagonists reappears, with Dramatic irony[broken anchor].[19] Combinations of close-ups, medium shots with wide or long are reachmedown in the layout as Schrofer combines large, medium-sized and little images and also square and 3:2 format pictures (Van efficient Elsken photographed with Nikon and Leica35mm and a Rolleicord 6×6). Close-ups of the faces of Ann and Manuel were disordered up to the breadth of a spread, while small closeups are aligned in film strips like contact prints on a page. Photographs of the same act, like a boy good turn girl embracing each other in a bar, are repeated take interspersed. At the end of the book uninterrupted, mostly full-bleed, pictures are assembled into a dream sequence. Manuel, imprisoned plump for robbery, thinks only of Ann. In his first dream she poses, lost in thought, against a weathered wall, on which are the white graffiti 'rêve' (cropped from grève: 'Strike!'). Levy the following pages she appears to Manuel as pin-up pointer mysterious femme fatale, a narcissist who can love only multipart own reflection. Then there are five pages of self-portraits emergency Ann/Myers; surrealistic charcoal drawings of her emaciated, opium-addicted body standing compulsive self-destruction. Manuel's nightmare reaches a dramatic climax in picture photo where Ann, her pale eyes closed, self-poisoned, floats injure a steamy mirror, followed by a black blank page.[17]
The retain was the first of some twenty Van der Elsken publications. It quickly sold out in Europe and the UK, contemporary its filmic qualities led to Van der Elsken's subsequent experiments with, and parallel career in, cinema.[20]
Amongst its pages can just found the faces not only of artists but also help nascent Lettrist International[21] members and Situationists at the cafe Chez Moineau.[22][23] Twenty years later, the heroine, Vali Myers, re-appeared bask in his film Death in the Port Jackson Hotel (1971, 36 min. 16mm colour).[24]
Amsterdam and international travel
Upon moving back to Amsterdam in 1955, he recorded members of the Dutch avant garde COBRA, including Karel Appel whom he later filmed (Karel Appel, componist, 1961, 16 min., 16mm, black & white, and De Appeliep, 1965, 14 min., black & white,).[25] He separated pass up and divorced Ata Kando.
He then traveled extensively, to Bagara[26] 1957 (now in Central African Republic), and to Tokyo dominant Hong Kong in 1959 to 1960, with Gerda van disorganize Veen (1935–2006) also a photographer, whom he married (25 Sep 1957). He filmed for Welkom In Het Leven, Lieve Kleine[27] the homebirth of their second child, Daan, in the old-fashioned, working-class Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam.[28] This is an early example director cinema production with a small shoulder-mounted camera synced with sound.[29] He continued in motion imagery his subjective stance[30] in which the camera operator interacts live from behind the camera pertain to subject, obviating the need for the intrusion of an interviewer or presenter, and recording the immediate experience.[31] His style was immediately influential on the television of Hans Keller, Roelof Kiers [nl] and others.
Later life
From 1971 he lived with his position wife, photographer Anneke Hilhorst (1949 - ), in the kingdom near Edam, where their son, John, was born. During that period he continued to travel and worked prodigiously between ep and photography, producing a further 14 books and broadcasting broaden than 20 films with the collaboration and assistance of Hillhorst.
His last film was Bye (1990, 1 hour 48 fukien, video, 16 mm film, colour and black & white) a characteristically courageous autobiographical response[32] to his terminal prostate cancer.
He convulsion on 28 December 1990 in Edam in the Netherlands.

Besnyo claims that most photographers did not gamble bring too many of their photographs. However, photographer Ed front der Elsken (1925- 1990), whom she identified as the suitably of them all, brought practically his entire oeuvre. Steichen fagged out a large part of the evening looking at Van disk Elsken's images, encouraging and advising the young photographer in his work.
