LA France De Profil

Paul Strand; Claude Roy

In La France de Profil, Paul Strand's photographs combine with French author Claude Roy's commentary to capture the essence of rural life in postwar France. Like Strand's renowned books Time in New England and Un Paese, La France de Profil is a profound meditation on place. His portraits of the old and young evoke a sense of their character and history. The images of the narrow alleys, old tabacs, sidewalk cafes, and fields convey the textures and rhythms of French country life. Roy's collages -- made of clippings from small-town newspapers, along with his own wry, handwritten musings on the French mentality and mores -- complement Strand's photographs. Originally published in 1952 by La Guilde du Livre, Aperture is delighted to release the American edition of La France de Profil in its first English-language translation. Today, La France de Profil is not only a tribute to a way of life that still exists in the French countryside but a monument to the evocative power of skillfully synthesized pictures and text.

UN Paese: Portrait of an Italian Village

Paul Strand; Cesare Zavattini

In 1953 the renowned American photographer Paul Strand, who was then living in France, suggested to Italian screenwriter Cesare Zavattini that they do a book together about a small town in Italy, a town that would reveal the spirit of a people. Strand asked Zavattini to choose a village with the elusive "special quality" he sought. Zavattini knew just such a village: his own birthplace of Luzzara, in the Po Valley. The collaboration of these two remarkable artists resulted in the classic book Un Paese. Published in Italian in 1955, and now available for the first time in the English language, Un Paese captures in photographs and in spoken testimony the essential experience of daily life in Luzzara. It presents a series of intense portraits, graceful landscapes, and images of everyday objects. Paul Strand's photographs are carefully distilled, deeply powerful; they contain the flavors and the rhythms of an entire culture crystallized in a single village. Zavattini successfully synthesizes text and image, aligning with the new cinematic trend of the day, a movement known as Italian neorealism. Their Luzzara is an ordinary village, neither overly picturesque nor greatly unusual, yet it is a town sustained by a grounded humanity and a profound love for the land by its people.

Paul Strand: 60 Years of Photography

Paul Strand

Sixty Years of Photographs, back in print after many years, is one of the most comprehensive surveys of the power and force of a major photographic figure of our time. Before his death in 1976, Strand spent his last days going over his photographic prints and his many books with an eye to the completion of this volume. Because of his insistence on growth and movement toward perfection throughout his career, and to be true to his vision, the editors examined over three thousand photographs, constituting the main body of the work of Strand's lifetime. This volume, which includes an insightful biographical profile by Calvin Tomkins and excerpts from Strand's correspondence, interviews, and other documents, has long been unavailable.
