Paul Strand Southwest

Paul Strand Southwest

by Paul Strand (Photographer)  •  Rebecca Busselle  •  Trudy Wilner Stack

  • ART & ARCHITECTURE
  • 2004
  • HARD COVER
  • 112 PAGES

With 50 black-and-white photographs, this book showcases Strand's work during the summers of 1926 and 1930-1932, when Taos, New Mexico served as the inspiration for his stark, elegant style. Working from two homemade darkrooms, one in a hotel basement and another above a local movie theater, Strand captured the depth and beauty of the Southwest. Through personal letters and snapshots, this book chronicles a dynamic period in Strand's life, both artistically and socially; his relationship with his wife Rebecca and his mentor Alfred Stieglitz were struggling, and he crossed paths with the likes of D.H. Lawrence, Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keefe.  (USW442, $50.00)
