This book has been an opportunity for Erwitt to revisit the photographs he made in his early
career and to uncover meaning upon second glance which was not apparent when the
image was originally taken. The master of visual one-liners—bold statement images replete
with humour, irony and acknowledged absurdity—the photographs selected for this book are
quieter, more subtle and suggest Erwitt’s increasing confidence in his own eye. By selecting
these photographs he has begun to both examine and challenge how his younger self saw
the world.
Born in Paris in 1928, Elliott Erwitt arrived in the U.S. in the late 1930s. Establishing himself in the 40s and 50s as a leading magazine photographer, he joined the prestigious Magnum Agency in 1953. In addition to his work in magazines, he achieved great success as an advertising photographer. He currently lives in New York City.
