Quick Short Shots by Jub Mönster
May I take a photo of the back of your head?
This catalog features the works of artist Jub Mönster. Published by Göttinger Verlag der Kunst, the book shows snapshots of well-known personalities from the art and culture scene, whom the artist has photographed for decades at cultural events or in private settings. This resulted in an impressive archive of images that served as a basis for many of his works. The almost plain-looking black and white photographs stand in stark contrast to the often colorful paintings or Mönster’s highly detailed ballpoint pen drawings. Embellished with one or the other anecdote, the artist outlines his working methods, offers insights into his creative process, and provides different as well as new perspectives on familiar faces.
The book uses the Godfrey typeface by Ludwig Übele.
