Paul Strand

Sixty Years of Photographs, a long-unavailable Aperture classic, is one of the most comprehensive surveys of the power and force of a major photographic figure of our time. Before his death in 1976 at age eighty-five, Paul Strand spent his last days going over his photographic prints and his many books with an eye to the completion of this volume. Because of his insistence on growth and movement toward perfection, and to be true to his vision, the editors examined over three thousand photographs, constituting the main body of work of Strand's lifetime. This volume, which includes the renowned biographical profile by Calvin Tomkins, and excerpts from Strand's correspondence, interviews, and other documents, is now finally back in print.
