The New York Times Book Review, Rosemary Ranck
...a balanced assessment of this talented and troubled figure. The 350 photographs are richly reproduced and reflect the scope of Smith's work...
W. Eugene Smith Photographs, 1934-1975 FROM THE PUBLISHER
This is the most complete monograph on the work of W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978), one of the heroes of American photojournalism. Beginning in the 1930s, working for Newsweek and other magazines, and then as a war correspondent in the Pacific in 1943-45, he created poetic photo essays of enormous and lasting impact. Drawing from Smith's own photographic archives and including illuminating texts, this comprehensive volume features more than 350 superb duotone reproductions of both famous and never-before-published images.
FROM THE CRITICS
Rosemary Ranck - The New York Times Book Review
W. Eugen Smith's powerful convictions and high aspiratins drove him to produce this century's best-known photo essays and some of its most powerful images....Smith's works were meant to be read like stories, not treated as precious art objects.
