Let Truth be the Prejudice

W. Eugene Smith, His Life and Photographs

By: Ben Maddow,W. Eugene Smith

Let Truth Be The Prejudice documents the life and work of W. Eugene Smith, a man whose work expanded the range and depth of photography, bringing new aesthetic and moral power to the photo essay. Smith was born in 1918 in Wichita, Kansas, and raised according to traditional American values, believing in the nobility of America and the injustice of war. He began taking pictures with his mother's camera while still a boy and continued this practice throughout his schooling. In 1937 his burning ambition took him to New York City, where his rise as a professional photographer was meteoric."--Amazon.

Dream Street

W. Eugene Smith's Pittsburgh Project

By: Sam Stephenson

New edition of poignant selected images from famed Life photographer W. Eugene Smith’s Pittsburgh project. In 1955, having just resigned from his high-profile but stormy career with Life Magazine, W. Eugene Smith was commissioned to spend three weeks in Pittsburgh and produce one hundred photographs for noted journalist and author Stefan Lorant’s book commemorating the city’s bicentennial. Smith ended up staying a year, compiling twenty thousand images for what would be the most ambitious photographic essay of his life. But only a fragment of this work was ever seen, despite Smith's lifelong conviction that it was his greatest collection of photographs. In 2001, Sam Stephenson published for the first time an assemblage of the core images from this project, selections that Smith asserted were the “synthesis of the whole,” presenting not only a portrayal of Pittsburgh but of postwar America. This new edition, updated with a foreword by the poet Ross Gay, offers a fresh vision of Smith's masterpiece.

William Eugene Smith, Pittsburgh, 1955-1958

l'impossible labyrinthe

By: Gilles Mora,Le pavillon populaire (Montpellier, Hérault).

En 1955, William Eugene Smith claque la porte du magazine Life et accepte une commande destinée à illustrer un livre commémoratif sur la ville de Pittsburgh, en Pennsylvanie. Il souhaite rendre photographiquement tous les aspects de cette grande métropole industrielle, alors en plein essor. Il y risquera sa santé, sa famille, son argent et produira plus de dix-sept mille images. Mais le projet s'avère trop gigantesque : Smith croule sous le nombre de tirages et leurs infinies possibilités de présentation afin de "représenter" l'essence même de Pittsburgh. Seules quelques dizaines de photographies seront finalement montrées et aucune publication ou exposition consistantes ne verront le jour de son vivant. "Pittsburgh" fut, au fond, un éblouissant échec, un impossible labyrinthe dans lequel Smith se perdit. "Pittsburgh, l'impossible labyrinthe" présente un impressionnant et unique témoignage sur la façon de travailler d'un des plus importants photographes mondiaux, une réflexion en acte sur la nature de la photographie urbaine, en même temps que le portrait attachant d'une grande ville américaine au milieu du XXe siècle.
