”The Moscow chronicler“, ”the main architectural photographer of the USSR" — that's what his contemporaries called Naum Granovsky.
For more than half a century, Moscow remained the main character of his photographs, he looked at it as a living person, noting all the changes that were happening to it. He came to the same streets and squares, consistently collecting the changing appearance of 20th century Moscow.
Much of what Granovsky shot in the 60s and 80s no longer exists: the Intourist and Rossiya hotels were demolished, the largest outdoor swimming pool in the USSR, Moscow, and the Ferris wheel in Gorky Park, beloved by many, were gone.
The album consists of 250 works by the author — these are not only the famous shots of Granovsky, which have already become classic, but also his lesser-known works that the Lumiere Gallery has managed to find over the past 5 years of working with the negatives of the master.
The book opens with introductory articles by Natalia Grigorieva-Litvinskaya, founder of the Lumiere Gallery, Elizaveta Likhacheva, director of the Shchusev Museum of Architecture, and Elena Karisalova, founder of the Still Art Foundation. The design of the book was developed by graphic designer Evgeny Korneev.
