About:
Peter Cornelius (1913–1970) was a German photographer and photojournalist. The goal he set himself was to capture: “the right colours at the right moment”. He was never concerned with a pure, apparently “right” picture of “reality”.
After World War II, he began his career with reportage, landscape and sailing photography in his hometown Kiel. From the mid fifties, he specialised in colour photography as one of the first color photographers in Germany. In 1960 he became known to a larger public through the special exhibition Magie der Farbe (Magic of Colour) during the Photokina in Cologne. His best known work is a 1961 collection of colour photographs of Paris.
Peter Cornelius started compiling “Paris in Colour” in 1956. This was published in 1961 in Düsseldorf and Lausanne, in 1962 in London and it was the first book about Paris comprising only of colour photos taken by a single photographer. A part of photographic history following significant photographers such as Atget, Brassaï, Izis and Doisneau, who had until then only taken wonderful pictures in black and white.
