Ruth Orkin is a legend of street photography - her atmospheric
pictures taken in cities such as Florence, New York and London
still shape the image of these metropolises today. But Orkin's
specialty not only encompassed the urban but also the personal.
This is evident in her unique eye that enabled her street scenes to
consistently offer penetrating insights into the time and
personality of her subjects. And it likewise shows in her fantastic
portraits of celebrities such as Albert Einstein, Woody Allen, and
Lauren Bacall. These inimitable images seemingly combine snapshot
and pose to present the star in his or her role and at the same
time as an autonomous individual. Published on the occasion of the
photographer's 100th birthday, this illustrated book celebrates
Orkin's life and work with an equally extensive and fascinating
overview of this exceptional artist's oeuvre.
