Description
W. Eugene Smith's Pittsburgh Project is a poignant collection of photographs that offer a powerful portrayal of postwar America. In 1955, Smith was commissioned to produce one hundred photographs for a book commemorating the city's bicentennial, but he ended up staying a year, compiling twenty thousand images for what would be the most ambitious photographic essay of his life. Only a fragment of this work was ever seen, despite Smith's lifelong conviction that it was his greatest collection of photographs. This new edition, updated with a foreword by the poet Ross Gay, presents a fresh vision of Smith's masterpiece, showcasing the synthesis of his work that he believed was the core of his photographic essay. A significant addition to the existing body of Smith's work, this new edition provides a unique insight into the photographer's vision and artistic expression.
