David Seymour, Inge Bondi

Bulfinch Pr, 1996

great book, great man
This book is a biographical gem.

Louise Dahl-Wolfe: A Retrospective

1 review
Vicki Goldberg, Nan Richardson

Harry N. Abrams, 2000

Good presentation of Dahl-Wolfe's Photography
Louise Dahl-Wolfe shot some captivating images, as evidenced by the cover, and apparently was one of the best fashion photographers of the middle 20th C. The book contains 2 essays which kind of overlap in content and some plates of her B&W and color work, as well as outtakes, and some reportage work. The printing quality was okay, with the exception that a lot of the color photographs were ...

Wendy Ewald, Catherine Chermayeff, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1996

There, she took photos of the children of the village, many of whom are either untouchables or close to it, and illustrated their pictures with ...

Wild Babies

Nan Richardson

Umbrage Editions, 2008

umm, where's the wild babies?
I am puzzled as to the goal of this book and wonder what audience they'd intended. Since it is a small book with only 80 pages about half of which are photographs, that doesn't leave much room for informative text. I have the impression that 'shocking' tidbits were thrown in just to liven up the book. It is a carnival-type excitement........... and out-of-place with the exquisite bindings, mostly ...

These are amazing people - prevailing against enormous odds. You read it in awe of the subjects, and their often appalling stories. The black and white photographic portraits are respectful, serious, and ...

Lillian Bassman

Martin Harrison

Bulfinch Press, 1997

Stunning Fashion Photography! Puts The Zip In Your Zipper.
Lillian Bassman is a well known fashion photographer of the 40's and 50's. Her work is glamorous and visually exciting. The photos in this collection are a combination of photography and other artistic tools which give them an almost otherworldly feel. The book is oversized, which makes many of the pictures big enough for framing which is exactly what I intend to do. There is also a short ...
