Description
W. Eugene Smith was a photographer's most celebrated humanist, known for his intimate chronicling of human culture through his photographs. His work at Life magazine in the 1940s and '50s revolutionized the role of images in journalism. Sam Stephenson's biography, Gene Smith's Sink, is the result of twenty years of research into Smith's life and legacy. The book profiles a lively cast of characters who knew Smith, including playwrights, filmmakers, artists, and musicians, to reveal the photographer's potent impact on those around him.
