Boldly innovative and technically experimental, Harry Callahan (1912-1999) used double exposures, colour, extreme contrast, and wide-angle photography to create lyrical, highly personal images. He was celebrated as a photographer of nature, the city, and womenusing his wife, Eleanor, for a model.
Sarah Greenough's 1996 retrospective contains a better text and better choices of photos, but this edition is preferable because of the size and quality of the images themselves.
