Elliott Erwitt Introduction by Elliott Erwitt
| PHOTOFILE brings together the best work of the world's great photographers in an attractive pocket-size format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectable, each volume in the series contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction, a chronology and a bibliography.
Utterly individual, yet impossible to classify, Elliott Erwitt is one of the most remarkable photographers in America today. Sudden coincidences and chance encounters with objects and situations allow him to capture glimpses of the ridiculous or the comical side of everyday events, and his visual jokes become striking and pithy observations about life. Compassionate, humorous, sinister, playful, bitter, bawdy, lyrical – this collection confirms Erwitt’s limitless ability to capture a range of moods and nuances of expression.
