Vicki Goldberg: Light Matters

Selected essays from the past 25 years of Goldberg's writings touch on the work of individual photographers (Ansel Adams, Weegee, Herb Ritts, Diane Arbus, Walker Evans, and a dozen others) as well as photographic issues: sex; history; the uses of tragedy. Goldberg, an award-winning biographer of Margaret Bourke-White, lectures widely on photography and the arts and writes for publications including The New York Times, American Photo, and Vanity Fair. The volume is effectively (if not copiously) illustrated in b&w. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
