Color photographic plates throughout. The first comprehensive monograph charting the career of acclaimed American Magnum photographer Alex Webb. A true first edition, first printing copy of this classic title. Condition: outside very good, with just minor signs of handling and a little bump at the rear close to the spine. Inside as new, pages unmarked, no creases, no stains. Gathering some of his most iconic images, many of which were taken in the far corners of the earth, this exquisite book brings a fresh perspective to his extensive catalog. Recognized as a pioneer of American color photography since the 1970s, Webb has consistently created photographs characterized by intense color and light. His work, with its richly layered and complex composition, touches on multiple genres, including street photography, photojournalism, and fine art, but as Webb claims, "to me it all is photography. You have to go out and explore the world with a camera." Webb's ability to distill gesture, color and contrasting cultural tensions into single, beguiling frames results in evocative images that convey a sense of enigma, irony and humor. Featuring key works alongside previously unpublished photographs. It provides the examination to date of this modern masters prolific, thirty-year career.
