Elliott Erwitt

Rate this book
Poeta dell'immagine, membro dell'agenzia Magnum, americano d'adozione, Elliott Erwitt, nato nel 1928, è un fotografo dallo spiccato senso dell'umorismo, "dallo sguardo mai ottimista, ma sempre elegante". La coincidenza, l'incontro fortuito di oggetti e di avvenimenti, sono il suo modo ammiccante di puntare il dito verso il ridicolo e il buffo. Il cane è il suo bersaglio preferito, amichevole metafora delle stramberie umane. Attraverso le sue immagini, Erwitt lancia le sue allegre provocazioni che colpiscono come pungenti aforismi.

A great collection of some of Elliot Erwitt's iconic images, as well as some I've never seen before.

Also a nice introduction from the photographer, followed by a summation of his life and work.

His photographs tell amazing stories, whether they were a single image, or a few printed across two pages.
