Andrey Tarkovsky znany jest przede wszystkim jako jeden z największych reżyserów filmowych w historii kina. Powyższy album przedstawia jego fotograficzny dorobek. Wśród zdjęć można znaleźć m. in. polaroidy domu, rodziny, rosyjskich przyjaciół oraz miejsc, które artysta odwiedził we Włoszech.
The Russian Andrey Tarkovsky (1[zasłonięte]932-19) is one of the greatest directors in film history. His father, Arseny, was a distinguished poet, and judging from the notebook extracts accompanying the pictures, Tarkovsky was no mean poet himself. Like his father, he intuited a holy eternity. Those windows into eternity, the icons of the Orthodox Church, influenced his visual style (his Andrei Rublev commemorates the greatest icon painter), and these photos, suffused by the ochre light of late afternoon and so powerfully composed that they argue that supreme artistic visualization was second nature to Tarkovsky, look so timeless and enduring that they inspire worshipful awe. Like some of the imagery of The Mirror, the Tarkovsky film these pictures most resemble, some of them tax and frustrate legibility. Always, they affirm a line of Arseny Tarkovsky's, "We are all immortal."
