"One of the most important and widely anticipated photography monographs in recent memory, this book provides a much-needed, comprehensive overview of the life, work, and times of one of the twentieth century's seminal photographers. Besides her dazzling studies of light and shadow, and her triumphant cityscapes, Lotte Jacobi was one of the medium's premiere portraitists. Among this book's more than four hundred duotone images are her pictures of an impressive array of intellectuals and cultural figures, including Einstein, Thomas Mann, Robert Frost, J.D. Salinger, Paul Robeson, Lotte Lenya, Eleanor Roosevelt, and many others. Perhaps as engrossing as her work was her life, and Lotte Jacobi's biography is given the most detailed and complete treatment yet in this book." - Publisher.. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 4to.
