PHOTOGRAPHY MONOGRAPHS

A facsimile edition of one of the "classic" photography books. Elsken focuses on the Left Bank of Paris in the 1950s--a time when it was recognised as a centre of creative ferment which would determine the cultural agenda of a generation. With its unconventional, gritty, snapshot-like technique the work has been acclaimed as expanding the boundaries of documentary photography.
