A priceless photo-index of Eugene Smith's work,
By
This review is from: W Eugene Smith Master of the Photographic Essay (Hardcover)
After Eugene Smith died in 1978, his estate allowed the Center for Creative Photography (Tucson, AZ) to select from Smith's master prints to create the Eugene Smith Archive. This book illustrates the more than 1,800 prints in the Center's collection. There are 200 pages of six (occasionally 12) 5cm X 7cm photographs per 10.5 X 11-5/8 inch page. The Center's accession number identifies each plate.The photographs are arranged chronologically and, when applicable, include the name and date of the magazine that published the photo-essay. The Archive, and this book, includes many photographs that Smith printed but were not included in the published essay, and includes unpublished assignments, pictures of family and friends and more. The quality of photoengraving is remarkably excellent. As far as I can determine, this is the only book containing the comprehensive work of W. Eugene Smith, truly the master of the photographic essay. |
