Herman Brood - Anton Corbijn

A sold-out photo book by the great Anton Corbijn in an edition of 2,200. House photographer of major bands such as U2 and Depeche Mode, but started with our Herman Brood. This book has been sold out everywhere for years and is a true collector's item. The well-known (pop) photographer Anton Corbijn met Herman Brood in the province of Groningen in early 1974 and became Herman's court photographer. They had a close bond; Even after Corbijn moved to London in 1979, a photographic and personal relationship continued. This edition on the occasion of the exhibition in the Cobra Museum (5 July-15 September 2002) mainly contains many photos from the years 1974-1979, so there are no photos of Herman's wife Xandra, for example. The atmospheric black-and-white recordings are provided with handwritten, English-language captions by Corbijn. With bilingual foreword by Martin Bril and introduction by the photographer. Brood always said with pride that he himself was the blueprint for the kind of relationship that Corbijn now has with, for example, U2, REM and Depeche Mode.
