This edition is published in the United States by Aperture, Inc. In association with the Museum of Modern Art, New York, on the occasion of a major exhibition of the photographs of Harry Callahan held at the Museum of Modern Art from December 2, 1976 to February 8, 1977.

Recognized as a central force in the evolution of the art of photography. Callahan's work embodies thirty-five years of investigation into the expressive and structural potential of photography-an investigation that has been both uncompromisingly rigorous and intensely personal. His photographs, reproduced here in the most complete selection ever published, reveal new dimensions of the medium's creative possibilities. Whether photographing his family, pedestrians on Chicago streets, or the beaches of Cape Cod, his vision has always been precise, defining the subject, and culminating with images of eloquent strength and balance. John Szarkowski writes that even Callahan's first successful pictures "were unlike any earlier photographs. They were simultaneously mechanical in character - unmistakably the product of a technological process-and uncompromisingly aesthetic in their motive: they were full of human sentiment- as distant and elegant as a Shaker chair or archaic Venus. Yet in spite of all this perfection the pictures were not sterile but full of force... they were machines that worked". Callahan's photographs have been extensively collected and exhibited by America's leading museums. This book, produced with a quality of reproduction that rivals the original prints, is published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art.

Hardcover under illustrated dust jacket, 31 x 27 cm, first American edition, text in English, black and white photographs, in very good condition other than some wear marks and fingerpints on the jacket, very good inside.
