Strand – In focus

Paul Strand (1890-1976) defined twentieth-century American photography in a prolific career that spanned more than sixty years. His photographs explore the abstract and dynamic qualities found in the natural world, search for humanity in portraits of people and places, and document the
experience of life itself. Highlighting the development of the photographer’s aesthetic from his early encounters with Cubism to his humanistic depictions of people throughout the world, this book presents nearly forty years of Strand’s wide-ranging and powerful work.
In Focus: Paul Strand is published to coincide with an exhibition of the photographer’s work at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles from May 10 through September 4, 2005.
