Specificatii
An incisive biography of the prolific photo-essayist W. Eugene
SmithFamously unabashed, W. Eugene Smith was photography's most
celebrated humanist. As a photo essayist at Life magazine in the
1940s and '50s, he established himself as an intimate chronicler of
human culture. His photographs of war and disaster, villages and
metropolises, doctors and midwives, revolutionized the role of
images in journalism, transforming photography for decades to
come.When Smith died in 1978, he left behind eighteen dollars in
the bank and forty-four thousand pounds of archives. He was only
fifty-nine, but he was flat worn-out. His death certificate read
stroke, but, as was said of the immortal jazzman Charlie Parker,
Smith died of everything, from drug and alcohol benders to weeklong
work sessions with no sleep.Lured by the intoxicating trail of
people that emerged from Smith's stupefying archive, Sam Stephenson
began a quest to trace his footsteps. In Gene Smith's Sink,
Stephenson merges traditional biography with rhythmic digressions
to revive Smith's life and legacy. Traveling across twenty-nine
states, Japan, and the Pacific, Stephenson profiles a lively cast
of characters, including the playwright Tennessee Williams, to whom
Smith likened himself; the avant-garde filmmaker Stan Brakhage,
with whom he once shared a Swiss chalet; the artist Mary Frank, who
was married to his friend Robert Frank; the jazz pianists
Thelonious Monk and Sonny Clark, whose music was taped by Smith in
his loft; and a series of obscure caregivers who helped keep Smith
on his feet. The distillation of twenty years of research, Gene
Smith's Sink is an unprecedented look into the photographer's
potent legacy and the subjects around him.
