Life Classic Photographs

Résumé du livre

Life Classic Photographs showcases the best of the best - memorable photographs from Life that astonish and amaze, delight and amuse, elicit compassion and reflection. A classic in itself, the collection has been expanded and updated by John Loengard, former Life picture editor and photographer, to 120 "photographs that stick in the mind" selected from a dazzling panorama of 60 years and over 2000 issues. Loengard's accompanying text gives us an insider's account of the story behind each masterwork of Life's great photographers, from historic moments and celebrity candids to extraordinary events etched on the faces of ordinary people. Includes classic photographs by Alfred Eisenstaedt, Sebastiao Salgado, Margaret Bourke-White, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, W. Eugene Smith, Eve Arnold, Harry Benson, Bruce Weber, Mary Ellen Mark, Ruth Orkin, Gordon Parks, and Eugene Richards.
