"Robert Nettarp: 1970–2002" is a collection of works by Robert Nettarp (1970–2002). Known as one of the most innovative photographers in 1990s fashion photography, Nettarp transitioned to photography after studying painting and was active in the fashion scene, including with H&M. He elevated digital retouching from a mere correction technique to a means of expression that visualizes emotions and psychology, sharply depicting themes such as anxiety and violence lurking behind beauty, gender, and sexuality. In his representative work "Åse Beautiful Pain," he questions the very values of beauty by applying artificial bruises to the model's face. This book is a definitive monograph that covers the work of the artist who died suddenly at the age of 32, and includes everything from fashion photographs to previously unpublished works. It is also a book that embodies the process by which fashion photography in the 1990s changed from the reproduction of commercial images to expression that incorporates the photographer's own thoughts and critical perspectives. The publisher, Stockholm-based independent publisher Livraison, is known for its publishing activities that cross the boundaries between commercial photography and contemporary art, and this book is a representative title that symbolizes that philosophy.
