Description: New York, Aperture Foundation, 1976, first edition, Hardback, dustjacket, 24 x 29 cm., 183 pp., Condition of book: Fine. Condition of dustjacket: near fine. A copy of the hardback edition. Paul Strand (1890 - 1976) : Sixty Years of Photographs, is one of the most comprehensive surveys of the power and force of a major photographic figure. Before his death in 1976 at age eighty-five, Strand looked at his photographic prints and his many books with an eye to the completion of this volume. Seen here is the summation of a lifework, from the first abstract photographs to the series of plant photographs taken in the last years of his life. Also included is a rarely examined series of films. Briljant, unprecedented documentaries that foreshadowed Italian neo-realism and the new cinema of the post-war years. The re-release of this volume, which features the famous biographical profile by Calvin Tomkins and excerpts from Strand's correspondence, interviews, and other documents, makes one of photography's major artists newly accessible.. . .
