Summary:
A monograph on the career of German-born South African photojournalist Jurgen Schadeberg. The works are arranged geographically: Africa 1951-2003; London/Glasgow 1968-1981; and Berlin 1961-1981.
“Born in Berlin in 1931, Schadeberg worked as an apprentice photographer for a German news agency in Hamburg as a teenager. In 1950 he emigrated to South Africa and became chief photographer, picture editor and art director of Drum Magazine.
During that time Jurgen photographed crucial moments in the lives of South Africans in the 1950s.
These photographs depict the lives and struggles of South Africans during apartheid and include important figures in South Africa's history, such as Nelson Mandela. His images also capture important personalities and events in the jazz and literary world, such as the Sophiatown jazz scene with Dolly Rathebe, Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela and Kippie Moeketsi.
In 1964 Jurgen left South Africa for London, and throughout the 1960s and 1970s he worked as a freelance photojournalist in Europe and America for several prestigious magazines.
He also taught at the New School in New York, the Central School of Art & Design in London and the Hochkunstschule in Hamburg.”
