Herman Brood - Anton Corbijn

A sold-out photo book by the great Anton Corbijn, limited to 2,200 copies. He was the house photographer for major bands like U2 and Depeche Mode, but he started with our own Herman Brood. This book has been sold out everywhere for years and is a true collector's item.
Renowned (pop) photographer Anton Corbijn met Herman Brood in early 1974 in the province of Groningen and became Herman's court photographer. They had a close bond; even after Corbijn moved to London in 1979, a photographic and personal relationship remained. This publication, published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Cobra Museum (5 July - 15 September 2002), mainly contains photographs from the years 1974-1979, so there are no photos of Herman's wife Xandra, for example. The atmospheric black-and-white photographs are accompanied by handwritten English captions by Corbijn. There is a bilingual foreword by Martin Bril and an introduction by the photographer. Brood always proudly stated that he himself was the blueprint for the kind of relationship Corbijn now has with, for example, U2, REM and Depeche Mode.
