Specificatii
An incisive biography of the prolific photo-essayist W. Eugene
Smith Famously unabashed, W. Eugene Smith was photography's most
celebrated humanist. As a photo essayist at Life magazine in the
1940s and '50s, he established himself as an intimate chronicler of
human culture. His photographs of war and disaster, villages and
metropolises, doctors and midwives, revolutionized the role of
images in journalism, transforming photography for decades to come.
When Smith died in 1978, he left behind eighteen dollars in the
bank and forty-four thousand pounds of archives. He was only
fifty-nine, but he was flat worn-out. His death certificate read
``stroke,`` but, as was said of the immortal jazzman Charlie
Parker, Smith died of ``everything,`` from drug and alcohol benders
to weeklong work sessions with no sleep. Lured by the intoxicating
trail of people that emerged from Smith's stupefying archive, Sam
Stephenson began a quest to trace his footsteps. In Gene Smith's
Sink, Stephenson merges traditional biography with rhythmic
digressions to revive Smith's life and legacy. Traveling across
twenty-nine states, Japan, and the Pacific, Stephenson profiles a
lively cast of characters, including the playwright Tennessee
Williams, to whom Smith likened himself; the avant-garde filmmaker
Stan Brakhage, with whom he once shared a Swiss chalet; the artist
Mary Frank, who was married to his friend Robert Frank; the jazz
pianists Thelonious Monk and Sonny Clark, whose music was taped by
Smith in his loft; and a series of obscure caregivers who helped
keep Smith on his feet. The distillation of twenty years of
research, Gene Smith's Sink is an unprecedented look into the
photographer's potent legacy and the subjects around him.
