{"product_id":"w-eugene-smith-photographs-19341975","title":"W. Eugene Smith Photographs 1934-1975","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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  he created poetic photo essays of enormous and lasting impact. Drawing from Smiths own archives and including illuminating texts  this comprehensive volume features more than 300 superb duotone reproductions of both famous and never-before-published images from his most important works. Smiths Life Magazine photo essays are represented by images created in the 1940s and 1950s including  among others  the landmark Country Doctor  Spanish Village  Nurse Midwife and Albert Schweitzer: Man of Mercy. Among his later independent works are the hugely ambitious series on Pittsburgh and Haiti from the late 1950s. His last project was the disturbing 1970s essay Minimata  on the consequences of industrial pollution in Japan.  The photographs were selected by photographic historian Gilles Mora and designer John T. Hill from the Smith collection at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson  Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945764122677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0810941910","price":318.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780810941915.jpg?v=1769909601","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/w-eugene-smith-photographs-19341975","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
