Description

Berenice Abbott: A Life in Photography Berenice Abbott's passion for photography was forged in Paris, where she worked as an assistant to Man Ray before setting up her own studio. This led to encounters with notable figures of the time, including James Joyce and Jean Cocteau, as well as a deep appreciation for the work of Eugène Atget. Abbott's most famous project, Changing New York, documented the city's architecture and people in a series of remarkable images that cemented her reputation. This book brings together some of her best work, showcasing her diverse style and skill. With its handsome design and high-quality reproductions, this Photofile volume is an affordable way to explore the life and work of one of America's greatest photographers.
