Paul Strand, Southwest

About this book

"Pioneering, modernist photographer Paul Strand made Southwest images of formal, evocative beauty during the turbulent years 1930 to 1932, a time of significant change in his personal, artistic, and political life. This book reproduces fifty, newly edited photographs - both classic and previously unpublished - in a fresh portrait of this distinctive American region. Following the portfolio, Paul Strand Southwest assembles a narrative montage of art, writing, personal letters, snapshots and artifacts that reveal the character of northern New Mexico while linking Strand to important cultural figures in both New York and Taos circles of influence."--BOOK JACKET
