Review
Praise for Elliott Erwitt's Snaps 'Rare among photographers, Erwitt can make you laugh out loud [...] but his scope is Tolstoyan.' Independent '... reveals Erwitt's unassuming wit, brilliant framing and deep humanity' New York Post '[Erwitt's] photos reveal a joy in the particular playgrounds of human activity ... His eye, modest, charming, graceful and forever peeled for the dazzlingly unexpected, has led to his oeuvre being labelled by one commentator as the "indecisive moment"' World of Interiors 'This tome shows that he hasn't lost any of the visual wit that makes one relish his pictures, while, at the same time, recognizing the melancholy that infuses any realization of the arbitrariness of existence.' Time Out
