This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Authenticity, honesty, and character: Donald Graham's portraits are
not simply photographic recordings. Looking at them is like looking
at human beings themselves, brought forth by the photographer with
his virtuoso technique and sensibilities. These brilliant, strongly
contrasting black-and-white photos are evidence of attitude, rather
than studied gestures. Eyes and faces are not model-like masks;
instead, they express the unique nature of those portrayed.
Inevitably, viewers find themselves in a dialogue with them. You
wonder about the stories behind these faces; though unfamiliar,
they are nevertheless an emotional experience. This magnificent
volume of pictures is the first extensive publication of Graham's
haunting work. Reproduced in an elaborate triplex process, the
printed photographs also possess great brilliance. On paper they
seem almost tangible, fully revealing this outstanding oeuvre.
