Purchase options and add-ons

Paul Strand (1890-1976) was more than a great artist: he was a discoverer of the true potential of photography as the most dynamic medium of the twentieth century. Purity, elegance and passion are the hallmarks of Strand's imagery. As a youth, Strand studied under Lewis Hine and went on to draw acclaim from such illustrious sources as Alfred Stieglitz. After World War II, Strand traveled around the world to photograph, and, in the process, created a dynamic and significant body of work. In this redesigned and expanded version of a classic Aperture book, Peter Barberie, Brodsky Curator of Photographs, Alfred Stieglitz Center, Philadelphia Museum of Art, a leading historian on Strand, and curator of the major 2014 retrospective exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, introduces the work and presents an image-by-image commentary, along with an expanded chronology of the artist's life. "Paul Strand is one of those photographers who have established not just a body of work but a way of seeing. His prints encourage the eye to take an apparently endless journey." --"The Times Literary Supplement," from a review of the original edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I personally think this is a great book.

I personally think this is a great book...within a price I could afford. I purchased the video about Paul Strand and showed it at one of our photo meetings. I felt he was a huge contributor to the turning of photography in to an "art". Some of the members in our club didn't quite see it the same way...but sometimes it takes time to see change...and that is what Paul Strand did, evolve and present change.

I have seen Paul's photos while I image.google search but the explanation of each photo in the book makes it so much clearer for me. Wished Amazon packing could improve as the corners and edges are slightly crumbled.

3.0 out of 5 stars So so collection of photos
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2020
I was a little disappointed in the selection of photos for this book. There were some great examples of his work but there were a few too many underwhelming images. It seemed like some of the work would not even earn a second look let alone inclusion in a book if it were not done by a well known photographer.
