Gesichter: Frauen in der DDR (German Edition)

First edition, hardcover, illustrated throughout in black-and-white, illustrated dust-jacket, 95 pages, 27.5 x 24.5 inches, text in German by Helga Schubert. Helga Paris was born in 1938 into the chaotic landscape of Germany just before the onset of the Second World War. She was still a child when the conflict forced her family to leave their home and settle in a small city just south of Berlin. With her mother and sister at home with her and her father and two brothers still at war, Paris found herself within the familial environment of a large and welcoming community of women. As the Cold War ensued, Paris emerged as one of the foremost photographic chroniclers of everyday life in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Her first book, Gesichter: Frauen in der DRR (Faces: Women in the GDR), is a purposeful and intimate series of portraits of East Germans in their quotidian spaces.
