Clarence John Laughlin: Visionary Photographer

This volume provides a reassessment of the life and work of Clarence John Laughlin, especially in regard to his work's relevance to current themes in photography. His multiple exposures and theatrical arrangements explore the tension between photographic "truth" and "invention", and his lengthy captions focus on the linkage between words and pictures. Laughlin was much influenced by Stieglitz, Strand, Weston, Man Ray and Atget.
