From his images of the D-Day landings to portraits of immigrant life in New York City, Walter Rosenblum's oeuvre captures change in mid-century America on a global scale
This volume brings together all the main stages of the work of one of the most important American photographers of the last century, Walter Rosenblum (1919–2006). From his beginnings in the Photo League, where he met Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott and Paul Strand, to his documentation of the experiences of immigrants in New York's Lower East Side. It traces his highly decorated service in World War II (in which he participated as a photo reporter, taking part in the Normandy landings, and was among the first Allied photographers to enter the liberated Dachau concentration camp) to his exceptional documentation, the result of his personal research, of life in Harlem, the Bronx and Haiti. His photography is in museum collections around the world. The volume includes a critical text by Angelo Maggi and a biography.
