This comprehensive monograph on W. Eugene Smith, a pivotal figure in American photojournalism, spans his career from the 1930s to the 1970s. It features over 300 duotone reproductions of iconic and previously unpublished images. The book includes Smith's renowned Life magazine photo essays from the 1940s and '50s, such as "Country Doctor," "Spanish Village," "Nurse Midwife," and "Albert Schweitzer: Man of Mercy." It also covers his independent projects, like those in Pittsburgh and Haiti, and his final work, "Minamata," which addresses industrial pollution in Japan. Curated by Gilles Mora and John T. Hill, this volume draws from Smith's archives at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona.
