On 13th June, Laurence King Publishing will publish The Art of Suffering: Capturing the Brutal Beauty of Road Cycling, by world-class pro-cycling photographer Kristof Ramon (Kramon). The visually stunning photography book offers an intimate look into the world of professional road cycling through the eyes of Kramon, who captures moments of intense determination, and the raw emotion that defines the sport. With a foreword by Belgian superstar racer Wout van Aert, and texts and insight by award-winning author Matt Rendell, readers are given an insider's view on the resilience and pain endurance demanded by the sport.
This book provides a behind-the-scenes glance at what it takes to compete at the highest levels. Kramon’s photos tell stories of endurance, and the moments of personal triumph over adversity that are often hidden from the cheering crowds.
The Art of Suffering isn't just about the physical challenges of cycling; it's a celebration of the human spirit. Through Kramon's lens, readers gain a deeper appreciation for the sport and the athletes who devote their lives to mastering it. From the punishing ascents of the Giro d'Italia to the cobbled classics of Flanders, Kramon's photographs reveal the stark realities and the fleeting beauty of cycling. His work highlights the paradox of the sport: the deeper the suffering, the more profound the moments of triumph.
Kramon's ability to capture the essence of cycling's most dramatic moments—whether it's the pain etched on a rider's face, the serene beauty of a mountain ascent shrouded in mist, or the exultant joy of a hard-won victory—makes this book a homage to the sport of road cycling.
