Synopsis
Susan Meiselas, one of the most influential photographers of our time and an important contributor to the evolution of documentary storytelling, provides an insightful personalcommentary on the trajectory of her career in Susan Meiselas: On the Frontline . She guides us through her ideas, practices, and decision-making along her journey--from Carnival Strippers (1976) and Nicaragua: June 1978-July 1979 (1981; reissued by Aperture 2008, 2016) to Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History (1997) and Cova da Moura, Portugal (2004). This book includes over one hundred photographs from her earliest work and most iconic images, along with previously unpublished photographs., In On the Frontline , one of the most influential photographers of our time, Susan Meiselas, provides an insightful personal commentary on the trajectory of her career--on her ideas and processes, and her decisions as a photographer. Applying a sociological training to the practice of witness journalism, she compares her process to that of an archaeologist, piecing together shards of evidence to build a three-dimensional cultural understanding of her subjects. Meiselas achieved worldwide recognition for her photographic coverage of the Nicaraguan Revolution in 1979--first published in 1981 and now regarded as a seminal work of journalism--which followed her exploration of the experience of women on the carnival entertainment circuit, Carnival Strippers (1976). She went on to spend five years exploring and creating a new visual history of the Kurdish people, published as Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History (1997). In On the Frontline , she guides us through the thinking behind each, and many other projects besides, as well as her influential involvement in Magnum Photos as one of its earliest women members. One of the greatest contributors to the evolution of documentary storytelling, Meiselas here offers a compelling insight into her journey as a photographer and thinker.

    The book was very securely packaged and shipped promptly. Description was accurate. The seller has an exceptional listing. The book was sold at a fair value. It was a small book, but it was high quality and had been signed by the photographer. Thanks to a seller who is reliable, helpful, courteous, informative, and communicates promptly..

    A repeat customer here. Kenn really is the best. He has an amazing array of choices. He also deeply appreciates what he sells so you know that it will be safely packaged and arrive in the condition that it left his store. Not all sellers are this conscientious. You'll never go wrong when purchasing from GallerieK.

    This book, "Reading Cy Twombly" was accurately described as "like new," and arrived well-packaged in a timely shipment. However, I did not give this purchase a full positive description because the book was also described in the headline as a "first edition," which, without any qualifying notation, has meant the first printing in all of my previous ebay book purchases. I would buy from this seller again, but this was not the first edition, first printing, of the book that I expected.
