Críticas

The joy of a Weinberger photograph is in the fact that everyone is doing the most. Subtle is for someone else: here more is more. Big hair, big belt buckles, motorcycle clubs--everyone going their hardest to evoke American realness.--Miss Rosen "Crave "

The outcasts and rogues of postwar society...These young men and women idolized the brooding sexuality of American rebels like Elvis Presley and James Dean...--Alex Arbuckle "Mashable "

The outcasts and rogues of postwar society... These young men and women idolized the brooding sexuality of American rebels like Elvis Presley and James Dean..--Alex Q. Arbuckle "Mashable "

...gives homage to a Helvetian generation in search of their identity... A work that is rightly sexy, shocking and totally iconic: it is more than just a series of Elvis fans in an absolute rock & roll crisis behind these images there is a contemplation of the difference.--Jonas Cuenin "L'Oeil de la Photographie "

Now Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, a French critic, has written "Pissing Figures, 1280-2014," a genealogy of the pisseurs and pisseuses who haunt our canvases, fountains, and frescoes. The book, in a rangy, fluent translation from Jeff Nagy, is a record of what Lebensztejn calls our "diuretic fantasies"--of the lore and lust surrounding urine, sacred and profane.--Dan Piepenbring "The New Yorker "

...a Treasure Trove for Rebellious Denim Heads.--Rebecca Bengal "Vogue "

Reseña del editor

Karlheinz Weinberger’s day job may have been relatively uneventful―working in a Siemen’s warehouse―but the photos he took in his spare time are anything but conformist. Weinberger’s passion, and the focus of this book, is the rebel youth of 1950s and ’60s Switzerland, who channeled American rock-’n’-roll culture and made it their own with their rolled-up jeans and denim jackets, bouffant hairdos, striped T-shirts, and customized belts boasting images of Elvis and James Dean. Weinberger’s lusty, free-spirited and self-confident portraits posit the defiant attitude of youth as a response to the conservative post-war era. Swiss Rebels also includes homoerotic images of rockers, bikers, construction workers and athletes, many of whom occupy positions outside of social norms. This publication is the first to present an overview of Weinberger’s provocative oeuvre.
