Werner Bischof was a singular post-war photographer. His focus on showing the poverty and despair around him in Europe was tempered with a desire to travel the world, and convey the beauty and humanity waiting to be discovered through his lens. Tragically his inspirational life was cut short by a car accident in Peru, but his legacy lives on, and here his son Marco presents 70 of his father's photographs, never before published.

In 1916, with the Great War reducing northern Europe to a treeless, shattered void, a boy was born to the prosperous director of a pharmaceutical firm in Zurich. He was named Werner. It was not an auspicious time to be born and, indeed, his mother died soon after. As a child, young Werner sought order in his life by dissecting snails and photographing, in the limpid light of his creation, the elegant whorls revealed. He did not become the physical training instructor (a compromise) his father wanted him to be. He did not become the painter he had once wanted to be in Paris in 1939, on the brink of another devastating conflict. He became Werner Bischof, the man, and a photographer of incalculable artistry who found in both order and the chaos he confronted and experienced a sublime beauty, a humanity that was singularly his own.

His photographs of the post-war Europe in poverty and despair expressed infinite hope for the human condition; yet he was only 29. Less than 10 years later he was dead, leaving behind among his last photographs that of a Peruvian child playing his flute on the edge of a ravine. It is now an iconic photograph, and has a fatal allure.

Bischof died when his jeep plunged over a ravine in the Andes on a quest for the faces, the lives, of harmony there. Fifty years later his son Marco has gathered together 70 previously unpublished photographs by Werner Bischof. They powerfully reiterate the man his father was, the nature of his humanity and his search for a benign and beautiful cognisance of the brief and terrifying world he lived in.

Fantastic purchase completely happy
Color: Beige (4 Packs)
Awesome soap bag the construction is very sturdy and allows for good lathering and I would definitely purchase them again. It also helps with exfoliating so you’re getting two birds with one stone.

Great product for the price, would buy again!
Color: Beige (4 Packs)
Great bags. There is a ball to pull the top right but it slides back open so I just tied a knot in it but idk how I'll get it out to put more soap in. Otherwise a great product! Glad I bought them! Color is neutral, lather is good, very durable, easy to use, could be a little rougher (in my opinion) it's on the soft side, functions great besides top coming open, very durable!

Small to big soaps, not exfoliating
Color: Beige (4 Packs)
My soaps haven’t slipped out. I use dove bars and smaller round soap bars in them and I haven’t had any issues. They leave a room around my dove soap bars. I’m glad I can bar small to large soaps in this bag. I haven’t need to tie a knot on the end like I often need to do. They feel like a soft scrub on my body, not exfoliating. I enjoy my tan colors.

Not the best, but good enough
Color: Beige (4 Packs)
It is useful since it keeps the soap in and works well. The problem is that when the soap dries some parts of the bag become stiff and scratches your skin. It gave me a rash.
