Multitude, solitude : the photographs of Dave Heath /
Keith F. Davis ; with contributions by Michael Torosian.
- 232 pages : illustrations (colour) ; 28 cm
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 comprehensive survey examines Heath's deeply personal work, focusing on his astounding contributions to black-and-white photography.
