Multitude, Solitude: The Photographs Of Dave Heath Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The work of American photographer Dave Heath (b. 1931) stuns with its emotional potency. Exploring themes of loneliness and alienation in modern society, Heath’s photographs depict strangers riding the train, watching a Thanksgiving parade, staring pensively at their dining room table, or kissing on the side of a street. Entirely self-taught, Heath stretches the boundaries of the medium and explores the potential of the photo-narrative—through handmade book maquettes, innovative multimedia slide presentations, and other photographic experimentations. This is the first comprehensive survey of Heath’s deeply personal work, focusing on his astounding contributions to black-and-white photography. These images span the first 20 years of his career, 1949 to 1969, and many of them are previously unpublished. Filling a major gap in scholarship, the catalogue surveys the most groundbreaking facets of Heath’s creative work and highlights its historical importance. Heath’s art is ripe for rediscovery, and this book reaffirms his status as a key figure in 20th-century American photography.

Have to call this my choice for photo Book of the Year. Rare do you find a combination of salient text, along with a full collection of a master photographers work, brilliantly printed, and the book itself a tightly crafted item.The size of the book is right, and no images run in the gutter, a pet peeve.In the front of the tome, you get a history of Dave Heath that helps give you insight into the man. After a full, rich collection, including the out of print book, "Dialogue With Solitude" you also get a an insight into the man as a photographer and artist.Do not pass this up before it goes out of print. I have only done one pass with it, and know that many more are ahead. Michael Torosian has been a maker of fine books for years, and his involvement in the is one, assured quality. It does not disappoint. If you care about photography, and want to make a discovery, buy this book.
I had not heard of Dave Heath before the designation of this book on Michael Johnson's blog "The Online Photographer" as the photobook of the year. My loss, since he's really one of the best urban photographers of the past few decades. Not only is his work great, but the book is very well produced. Highly recommended.
This book is beautiful. the photographer is great. Better than some other famours one. I bought it directly from .
A comprehensive masterpiece. A real treasure. Highly recommended.
Great book
