Overview

The perfect primer on American photographer Mary Ellen Mark, best known for her photojournalism, documentary photography, portraiture and advertising photography. The work of Mary Ellen Mark (1940-2015) bears witness to her fascination with the human condition and her gift for connecting intimately with her subjects. Skilled at blending into unusual or insular environments, she travelled all over the world and forged a body of work that combined photojournalism with portraiture. From Indian circus performers to American teenagers living on the streets, from Hollywood film sets to inmates in a secure hospital, her photographs are striking for their humanity and empathy.

Reviews

An economical way to build a library of great photography. Each of the 50 books in the series focuses on a single photographer and features 60-plus pictures, an essay, a biography and a bibliography. The pictures are perfectly readable in spite of their small size; the selections are retrospective, so readers get bits of each artist's entire career. -- ""William Meyers, The Wall Street Journal""
