Grasp Accidentally Wes Anderson Curated By Wally Koval Depicted In Electronic Format
pekne fotky, super informativne popisy k fotkam, inspiracie k miestam ktore navstivit a proste cele dobre A must read for Wes Anderson fans and it makes a great conversation piece on your coffee table.
If you arent following accidentallywesanderson on Instagram, you should be! Its a daily dose of beauty and whimsy this book is a visual delight.
A fun fact about me is that apparently I could spend my entire life looking at pretty pictures of Wes Andersony things from around the world.
Another fun fact that you may or may not know is that we are currently in a global pandemic, so this cool thing we used to be able to do sometimes called "travel" is not really a thing anymore.
Half bonus for this book live vicariously through lovely photos of other places, half drawback cry forever because you don't know when if ever you can actually see them.
But anyway.
The photography in this is gorgeous, but it's also done by dozens of people around the world and not the author.
And also the subreddit of the same name is not credited or mentioned, And also the writing, which the author actually did do, is really dry,
But ultimately this is still,because travel and prettiness and Wes Anderson,
Bottom line: More please!
trying to think of a more perfect book for me, coming up dead empty La selezione delle fotografie è bellissima ed è il motivo per cui seguo con piacere /accidentallywesanderson su Instagram, ma le descrizioni dell' "autore" pubblicate qui sono a dir poco inutili, quando sono lunghe sono semplicemente un resoconto della storia del Paese in cui la foto è stata scattata e quando sono brevi sono solo "nome del posto curiosità sulla sua fondazione/costruzione".
Complessivamente mi sono un po' annoiata, The films of Wes Anderson reveal a distinct aesthetic that is his alone, so much so that Wally Koval has sought out locations that bear this out.
These photographs all could have been part of a set in one of Wes Anderson's quirky movies, but they are real and each has its own history.
Some may show an attractive shabbiness, but for the most part, these haunting images give the impression that in life you'd still be able to smell the fresh paint.
Some of the histories are downright hilarious, and this will be one I go back to for admiration and smiles, Gorgeous travel book full of beautiful places and stunning locales from all over the world, spanning all the continents and many, many countries.
Full of bright color and bold design, these photos were compiled through the accidentallywesanderson Instagram page, I was surprised to recognize a couple places from my own travels, This would make a great coffee table book and a unique gift for a travellover! i didnt read every page, i skipped to asia because thats where im from and man i loved it, the book is simply photos and descriptions of places around the world shot in the wes anderson style bright colour, symmetry amp a very distinct shot.
i got this book because im a big fan of his works amp also im starting out my photography journey asap!! this book is also great for future travellers wanting to seek places thats not mostly tourist orientated but local orientated!!! Of course I had to read this book because I have a son named Wes Anderson.
The pictures in this book were beautiful and I loved reading the short synopsis about each place, watching any wes anderson movie i'd like to live in this movie
reading this wes andersonesque book i'd like to live in these photographs Some fantastic photos which were inspired by Wes Anderson's unique way of looking at things.
Specifically usually front and centre, everything nicely aligned, If you can include a quirky element like a cute dog then all the better This was just what I needed to inspire me in this period where I can't travel.
Short little bursts of info and stories which is great because not every place was interesting to me along with striking photographs of locations all around the world made this a super interesting and engaging book.
I love Wes Anderson. If you know me you know Im a fan of quirk and his stories deliver that ins spades, And while Im not a real movie buff, I am a fan of directors with a “signature style” like Anderson and another fave.

While Tarantino does it with dramatic pauses in the heat of the action, Anderson does it with location, location, location.
His signature features dramatic architecture, the bluest skies youve ever seen ands kitsch, I live for it and when I saw this release I knew I needed to check it out pronto, And now I need to own it, so Santa

Good news is, despite being full color and thick as a brick, this puppy is less thanso it will most definitely be on my coffee table before Christmas.
All the Stars, Un tributo allestetica della simmetria a colori pastello di Wes Anderson, Un simpatico giro del mondo, this is a really great collection of photography from locations around the world if you're a fan of wes anderson's cinematography Absolutely delightful.
I loved the pictures themselves, but also the interesting tidbits and historical information of each place as well, wish I could see all those places in person, but as we are still in the middle of a pandemic, the book will have to do for now.
This might be the best “coffee table” book! While these photographs “accidentally” look like the aesthetic of director Wes Anderson, the book is compiled in a
way that would be enjoyable for people not familiar with Wes Anderson.
This book reminds me of Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany by Jane Mount, except this book documents historical destinations instead of bookstores make sure to check out that book/Goodreads review as well!.
Accidentally Wes Anderson is full of vibrant photographs of places that are worth discovering, and Wally Koval has made it possible for all of us to travel to these unique destinations through the flip of a page.
I was shocked to know that I have not been to any of thelocations that are documented in the book, and I find myself bringing the places up in discussions with others who have travelled.
I recommend you pick up a copy to find out how welltraveled you truly are, and to help plan future vacations! This is so much more than a photography book, as there are fascinating descriptions connected to each location.
While I enjoyed reading the book, this would also be a fun book to pick up for kids or anyone interested in flipping through pictures as the photographs are vibrant in color and distinct in architecture.
I left this on my coffee table for weeks, and it was picked up and leafed through by multiple people spanning in ages from.
Each page is descriptive of a specific photograph, so its a great read to put down and come back to when you have time, or “flip through” to what interests you the most, although I suggest reading the entire book! Rachel M.
Beautiful, whimsical pictures from enchanting places all over the world fascinating texts about their history, big and small a wonderful, feelgood and inspiring book.
I need a volume! Фото з усього світу, що нагадують естетику весандерсона, Знайшлось місце навіт двом з України вагон метро і музей НАМУ. Гарно Its a special kind of torture to look at this beautifully curated travel guide during a pandemic when I cant go visit these places right away.
. . But, it makes me excited for a time when I can! Reading about the story and background of each location added another level of depth that was really interesting and playfully curious.
This is gorgeous book of photography that will inspire your wanderings whenever we can travel again, Just looked through the pictures and names of the cities, The photos really don't do the places justice in my opinion, Most could be taken anywhere and don't show the vivid characteristics of the cities they are to showcase, Part tourist guide, part travel companion, part bucket list inspiration, Accidentally Wes Anderson has it all but it's mostly photos of lighthouses and viewfinders
A lot has already been said about what makes the titular director's style so particular, so idiosyncratic.
Whether it be visuals that evoke the spirit of whimsy, charm and quirkiness, compositional features like symmetry, fondness for a pastel colour palette and the use of the futura font you will find all of it in this book.
But the photographs taken for the Instagram account and the ones later selected fort his compilation, differ significantly from the shots in Wes Anderson's films, because they werent meticulously crafted, they were found and photographed.
It is in the framing, not composing, that makes them accidental,
I want to focus on what the art historian Svetlana Alpers calls the Museum effect, Obviously the book before us is not a museum and there such the presented photograph are not museum artefacts, but it is interesting to note nonetheless.
Alpers argues, that the museums process of presentation of cultural artefacts makes them into pieces of art, in the way that our way of looking at them changes.
And that is most certainly the case with the photos created for the Instagram account and even more, the ones selected fort his book.
She also states that a museum artefact can be made from most anything, even a basic crab, And to me, that is the beauty of this book, We are treated to a lot of historicist and representative architecture, but mostly it IS just lighthouses and viewfinders, Right next to palaces we can find fishing shacks and pancake stands, And they are all not only made beautiful in the way they are photographed, all of them are accompanied by an interesting text! The texts highlight what is special about the objet/building in question, it could be based on the authorial, artistic, cultural, typological, spatial or historicallytestimonial merit.
The former, which is the most common usually describes a historically significant person, that the object is connected to, The authors of the text do have the penchant to focus on the quirkier stories and aspects of things, Like in the text on the Buckingham palace, you meet the expected cast of characters, but also the lady who breaks in the queen's shoes.
And honestly, I was expecting no less,
I would advise the reader however, to take all the descriptions with a grain of salt, I cannot confirm nor deny the accuracy of the texts describing the lets say lighthouses in Africa or viewfinders in South America, but I did read them uncritically, until I got to the Slovenian railways text, which I knew presented misinformation.
But nonetheless, focusing on the visual part of the book, which is its focal point, I can without a doubt claim, that the book is stunning.
The way in which the photos are shot and the objects they portray are selected, shows a deep appreciation for the cultural aspects of our environment.
Whenever we see a forest or a shot of the ocean, it is juxtaposed with something artificial, like a viewfinder or a lighthouse.
But what struck me was an almost earie absence of people from the selected photographs, A colourful cast of characters is a staple of all the west Anderson films, so why are they excluded from all but maybeout of close tophotographs.
This is made more peculiar by the fact that almost all the texts accompanying the photos are about interesting and quirky historical figures.
At the end, I should not let the sinister aspects of orientalism go unmentioned, Although the selected photos were disproportionately taken in what we “consider the West”, some of the ones taken in other parts of the world, were taken by, what I presume to be locals, so the uniquely Wes Anderson lens, wasnt superimposed on the portrayed objects in a way, that takes them out of their contexts I hope at least, since I am not a representative of such a culture, that has historically been exploited and misrepresented.
But I believe, that this way of seeing, this lens, this book, was ultimately well intentioned, As John Berger once said, A picture, which is static, has a power of establishing visually tangible congruity, And this way of seeing the world around us, does remind me of another quote: “You see There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.
Indeed, that's what we provide in our own modest, humble, insignificant sighs deeply oh, fuck it,
