Summary |
"In a career spanning six decades, Herman v Wall was recognized for his photographic skills as one of the best of the 20th century. There is something essential and compelling in his photos, whether the renowned D-Day landing pictures (the first to be seen by the American Public) or the delicacy of his signature flower photographs. He perfected a blending of artistic intuition with the technical skills required for award-winning images. Thanks to the persistence of his wide, Ruth Hawks Wall, and his daughter, Katherine Wall Panatone, a unique archive of photos, correspondence, awards, and genealogical details have been preserved. Over one hundred of these items are published in this book, many for the first time"--Back cover. |
