Paul Strand;: A retrospective monograph, the years 1915-1968

Paul Strand

Aperture, 1971

The most compassionate photographer of the 20th C?
Paul Strand made photographs throughout the 20th C. in countries around the world (and was principal cinematographer on Pare Lorentz's groundbreaking film in the 1930s; still, his name and images are hardly appreciated). Strand is the Picasso of photography in the 20th C., and makes Ansel Adams look like a wanker. This book chronicles the retrospective that traveled to many museums, and conveys ...

Keep the Spirit Fishy!
Keep your experience of the Fish Philosophy fresh! This is a great companion to the original book. When you talk to folks about Playing and some of the other important parts of bringing a workplace alive, they often counter with, "What about the kind of job where you can't play. Like a hospital?" This little volume recounts tales of just such venues. Some stories are bite sized morsels, some are ...

In the Eyes of the Beholder
as a person who has been close with the Strand family for a long time, i have to say that out of personal relations and out of knowing the full potential for paul and his family, this book is amazing. you have to remember that there is a face and a mind behind this camera, and the amazing talent that people must have in the first place to even be able to spot beauty in the everyday things. if ...

Un Paese: Portrait of an Italian Village

The people of Luzzara
Never have I experienced before the feeling of looking into Italy's eyes so deeply. The photos of Paul Strand along with the notes of Cesare Zavattini are a masterpiece. But most important : you may fall in love with the little girl on page 72. As for me, I will never forget that look.

LA France De Profil

Paul Strand

Aperture, 2001

Enhanced with an informative commentary
Photographer Paul Strand (1890-1976) created an impressive, ground breaking visual portrait of rural life in post-war France in La France De Profil. Enhanced with an informative commentary by French author, essayist and poet Claude Roy (1915-1997), this truly classic (and even legendary) work has been brought back into print after an absence of almost fifty years and will admirably serve to ...

Paul Strand Sixty Years of Photographs

Paul Strand

Valedictory for a Great Artist
PAUL STRAND: SIXTY YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHS is an immensely successful book. Not only is it a true pleasure to renew acquaintance with the famous images of Paul Strand, it is the knowledge that Strand himself selected the images to be included in this book just before his death in 1976. Calvin Tomkins provides a sensitive and insightful history and eulogy and elected to include documents of ...

A really nice quality journal
Nicely produced journal from the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona. This issue compares the work of Ansel Adams and Paul Strand, and includes the letters they wrote back and forth to each other. A great research tool for fans and scholars of these two legendary photographers!

Paul Strand circa 1916

Maria Morris Hambourg

Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1997

Provocative, daring, inspirational: Strand fans must see!
Paul Strand unquestionably had a great career in photography and is one of the all time masters. But this book of his early work shows the depth of his artistic vision. Unconstrained by commercial pressures and reputation, much of Strand's early work shown in this book is graphically stronger, more "edgy", and more compelling than his later work, as acclaimed as it is. If you love Strand's ...

Paul Strand Southwest

Aperture, 2004

Disappointing
The reproduction of Strand's New Mexico photographs is as poor as the old photo books of the 1950s. About half the book is images and the other half is largely excerpts of letters to and from Strand during this sad period of his life. Strand's compositions are, as always, perfect; but I don't think that his heart was in it. Mostly landscapes, views of the Taos church, and portraits of his ...

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2007

A good overview of B&W photography
I like collections of photos by many different artists, and this book has a good number of diverse pre-1970 photos to browse. There is a minimum of text and that is fine with me. The book's main contribution is that it suggests a means of systematizing photography, by frame, subject, time, details and other aspects, and as such provides a compelling jumping off point from which the aspiring ...
