Summary:

As both a biography and analysis of Swank's work, this book focuses on his essential contribution to the modernist movement and places Swank alongside better-known contemporaries. Although Swank's images share stylistic similarities with many of the modernists, they also reveal his unique visual poetry. His compositional exploration, use of intense highlight and shadow, geometric forms and lines, and technical virtuosity affirm his contributions to the modernist movement and the emerging art of photography.
