Description from the seller
Unique copy of the book "Eddie Adams: Bigger than the Frame" that is signed by Alyssa Adams (wife of the photographer Eddie Adams), Anne Wilkes Tucker (well known American curator) and Don Carleton (founding executive director of the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin).
Best-known for Saigon Execution, his Pulitzer Prize–winning photograph that forever shaped how the world views the horrors of war, Eddie Adams was a renowned American photojournalist who won more than five hundred awards, including the George Polk Award for News Photography three times and the Robert Capa Gold Medal. During his fifty-year career, he worked as a staff photographer for the Associated Press, Time, and Parade, and his photos appeared on more than 350 magazine covers. Adams is also famous and deeply respected for founding the Eddie Adams Workshop, an intensive photography seminar whose graduates include twelve Pulitzer Prize–winners and many others who have achieved illustrious careers in journalism, commercial photography, and media.
"Eddie Adams: Bigger than the Frame" presents a career-spanning selection of the photographer's finest work from the 1950s through the early 2000s, drawn from the Eddie Adams Photographic Archive at the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to his much-praised Vietnam War photography, the book includes images that uncannily reflect world and domestic issues of today, including immigration, conflict in the Middle East, and the refugee crisis. All of them attest to Adams's overwhelming desire to tell people's stories. As he once observed, "I actually become the person I am taking a picture of. If you are starving, I am starving, too." Accompanying the images are an essay by internationally acclaimed photography curator Anne Wilkes Tucker, a personal remembrance by Adams's widow Alyssa Adams, a foreword by Briscoe Center director Don Carleton, who provides a concise history of Adams's career, and a timeline.
