Illusions of the photographer

About this book

"Since the early 1960s Duane Michals has been known for photographic sequences and inscribed photographs that explore emotional, conceptual, and cosmic topics beyond the grasp of the lone camera image. He has written in the margins of his prints, created sequences of images that explore intangible human dilemmas (doubt, mortality, desire), and derived poetic effects from technical errors such as double exposure and motion blur. This publication, accompanying an exhibition of the same title at the Morgan Library & Museum, includes an interview between Duane Michals and the Morgan's Richard L. Menschel Curator, Joel Smith, as well as pairings of Michals's work with pieces from the Morgan's collection"--
