FANTASTIC BOOK by FAMOUS MAGNUM PHOTOGRAPHER Elliott Erwitt about Scotland. New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. "Famed for his unique and witty photographic vision as well as his wry observations on life and art, Elliott Erwitt, over recent years turned his lens upon Scotland. Like many places, Scotland’s visual identity has often been reduced to stereotype or cliche, yet Erwitt - as those familiar with his work might have expected - saw more than the traditional sweeping views of lochs, or the kilt-wearing bagpipes players. He captured the warmth and humanity of the place and its people, and the sometimes less-than-picturesque reality of it’s cities, as well as the more the fabled traditions, landscapes and icons of the nation."

Elliott Erwitt turns his trained eye on Scotland, going well beyond its glens and lochs to reveal a unique culture and national heritage. In 2013, Elliott Erwitt was asked to be a part of the distinguished Macallan Masters of Photography series. Armed with his trusty Leica camera, he embarked on an exploration of Scotland in hopes of capturing its people's particular spirit and allure, calling it his "great Scottish adventure." Going beyond what is simply picturesque, this magnificent collection of photographs candidly reveals both the sum and its parts of the varied landscapes, the characters - and of course, the dogs! - that are unique to Scotland. Born 1928, in Paris, Elliott Erwitt immigrated to New York in 1948. A member of the prestigious Magnum Photos agency since 1953 and one of the leading figures in the competitive field of magazine photography, Erwitt has also published multiple books and has had one-man exhibitions in numerous museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institution, the Art Institute of Chicago, Paris' Museum of Modern Art, and Zurich's Kunsthaus. Based in New York City, Elliott Erwitt travels obsessively. He likes children and dogs.
