Produktbeschreibung

"Essays by one of the great, classical, American portrait photographers of this era. Move over Susan Sontag!" Michael Lesy. "Not only are Jerry Thompson's essays beautifully composed, but their complete success in aligning so much precise observation with such a wide and intellectually appropriate range of critical thought makes them unique in the entire literature on photography, at least as far as I am acquainted with it." Hilton Kramer.
