A student of mine is processing a collection of photographs by Eugen Kusch,
the 20th-century German photographer from Nurmberg. Kusch was born in
1905. In the 1960's and 1970's he had a photographic studio in
Schwarzenbruck (8501/Schwarzenbruck uber Nurnberg 2, Flurstrasse 45,
Germany). In the fifties he published a number of books illustrated with
photographs of architecture, art, sculpture and painting from several
European countries, but also from Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, India, and
Egypt. His book on Nurmberg was in its 5th edition in 1989. We are having
trouble locating any detailed biographical information and would greatly
appreciate any information or suggestions on how to track this down.
Please respond to me off-list if you can help. My email is
