New Orleans: Werner Pawlok

Southern flair between
jazz, blues and soul: the colorful New Orleans coffee table book

Is it possible to capture
the energetic, chaotic and enjoyable lifestyle of the southern states in a
coffee table book? The unconventional photographer and artist Werner Pawlok
succeeds with this colorful photography book! With his camera, he portrays New
Orleans, affectionately known as "Nola" for short, in all its
colorful diversity: street life between soul and blues, the colonial-style
architecture so typical of Louisiana and, of course, the people who shape life
in the "Big Easy". A visually stunning journey through the fun-loving
jazz, blues and soul city in the south of the USA - New Orleans!

A visually stunning
coffee table book in the footsteps of Cajuns and Creoles

This magnificent photo book
reveals everything that makes a trip to New Orleans worthwhile: the
colorful architecture of the metropolis on the Mississippi, still influenced by
the colonial era, breathes the culture of the Cajuns and Creoles in Louisiana. Pawlok
also immerses himself with his camera in places where the attitude to life in
the southern states is more tangible than anywhere else in the USA: the bars
and pubs of the French Quarter, considered the cradle of jazz, blues and soul,
the lively life on the streets, colorful graffiti - and right in the middle of
it all, the people of the dazzling music and art scene.

Magnificently illustrated
book with a flair for photographing an attitude to life

Ever since his exhibition
successes in the 1980s, Werner Pawlok, born in Stuttgart in 1953, has
been able to be mentioned in the same breath as art greats such as Warhol,
Richter and Mapplethorpe. His unconventional portrait photography breathes
intense closeness. And whether he is tracing the spirit of the past in New
Orleans' colonial-era architecture or embarking on a journey into the heart
of Cajun culture in the streets of "Nola" between street art and
blues bars - Pawlok's unconventional style also shapes this opulent, colorful
coffee table book.
