Richards has published many volumes of photography and been a member of Magnum Photos and of VII Photo Agency. In the course of his extraordinary career as a photo-journalist, Eugene Richards has seen many faces of America. From years of poignant, often riveting and sometimes controversial reporting, both on and off assignment, comes Americans We. In turn tender, funny, disturbing, and sublime, Richards's photographs and writing cohere like poetic verse. His talent for rendering the very essence of contemporary life has never before been so discernable, whether depicting a Memorial Day parade, the birth of a child, an inmate on death row, or a farm couple threatened with foreclosure. From darkness and light Richards forges a vivid and idiosyncratic portrait of the American experience. Americans We was the recipient of the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award for Best Photographic Book.. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
