"He doesn’t bother me," Picasso commented of the photographer Edward Quinn, after the latter had first photographed him at work in the ceramics studio in the early 1950s. This was undoubtedly one of the reasons why Quinn was allowed to accompany the artist with his cameras for over 20 years from 1951 onwards during his time on the Côte d’Azur: in the studio, in private with his family, with artist friends, at the bullfight, out and about, with lovers or simply at the hairdresser’s.
Edward Quinn’s vivid photographs from Pablo Picasso’s everyday life are not only of great intimacy, disclosing their mutual friendship, they also document his versatile character, his humor, and his enthusiasm in an amiable and lighthearted way. As a viewer of Edward Quinn’s photographs, you find yourself at eye level with the protagonists.
New book: Monaco Motor Racing
Edited by Wolfgang Frei. English and German. 240 pages, 277 photos
Delius Klasing Verlag, Bielefeld 2022. ISBN 978-3-667-1.
The motor sport of the 1950s and 60s remains incomparable in its attractiveness. This is due in large measure to legendary drivers like Ascari, Berghe von Trips, Fangio, Hill and Moss on the one hand, and to the big brand names that were active in these decades on the other, including Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus, Mercedes, Porsche and many others. Monaco remains a highlight of the racing calendar to this day – an event that combines thrilling action, glamor and drama like no other.
Photographer Edward Quinn, who documented Formula 1 racing, but also the Monte Carlo Rally and other formula races from 1950 onwards, is an integral part of this fascinating world. Thrilling skirmishes on the circuit, spectacular accidents and tragic retirements are balanced against hectic activity in the pits. However, Quinn not only captured the racing action, but also the hustle and bustle of trackside life: drivers’ wives, mechanics, team bosses, celebrities, and spectators – as well as royal couple Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

The photographer’s notes from his encounters with various personalities.
"Aucun photographe n'a livré un témoinage aussi lucide et si subtilement ironique autour de la vie sociale et culturelle sur la Côte d'Azur que l'irlandais Edward Quinn."
