Summary:

This is the most complete monograph on the work of W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978), one of the heroes of American photojournalism. Beginning in the 1930s, working for Newsweek and other magazines, and then as a war correspondent in the Pacific in 1943-45, he created poetic photo essays of enormous and lasting impact. Drawing from Smith's own photographic archives and including illuminating texts, this comprehensive volume features more than 350 superb duotone reproductions of both famous and never-before-published images.
