Cor Jaring, Cornelis Jaring, Hendrik Johannes Adrianus Hofland — Honderd mensen van Cor Jaring

Amsterdam: Meulenhoff / Landshoff. First edition, first printing. 83 pp., 23x21. Condition: Very Good (VG). Minor toning to spine; small scuffmark on cover; else fine. Portraits of people encountered in Amsterdam, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Spain, Italy, Hong Kong, Thailand and Morocco form a wide-ranging study of faces and personalities. Cor Jaring works through direct contact: his subjects look back at a photographer who has engaged them rather than observed from a distance. Some respond as if challenged, but the encounter remains measured rather than confrontational. The sequence brings together people from Jaring’s home city and from his travels, emphasizing the exchange between photographer and sitter across different settings. An introduction by H.J.A. Hofland places this collection of one hundred portraits in context, while a biographical section and a portrait of Jaring complete the volume.
