"In this first English translation of La France de Profil, Paul Strand's photographs, combined with commentary by the celebrated French poet Claude Roy, 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. Strand's portraits of the young and old evoke a sense of history and character. Images of narrow alleys, old tobacco shops, sidewalk cafes, and open fields convey the textures and rhythms of the French countryside. "His photographs are complemented by Roy's collages, made from small-town newspapers and his own wry, handwritten musings on French mentality and mores. 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."--Jacket.

Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, 144 pages. Originally published in French by La Guilde du Livre (Lausanne, Switzerland, 1952) and here reissued by the Aperture Foundation in a first English-language edition, this a profile of life in mid-century rural France by the great American photographer Strand (1890-1976). Following World War II, Strand moved to France and documented its rural areas in photographs. These close-up, seemingly candid images of the people, the countryside, and the architectural structures contain Strand's characteristic style of realism, depth of detail, and innate sensitivity to the environment. To supplement these exquisite pictures, French poet Roy, who knew Strand personally, provides a delightfully lyrical potpourri of poems, commentary, and collages assembled from bits of small-town newspapers. The timeless spirit of the Gallic legacy captured in the photos and words will be savored by Francophiles. Strand's importance in 20th-century photography makes this a highly recommended addition for public libraries and special photography collections. Record # 367650.

Paul Strand moved to France in 1950, aged 60, largely to escape McCarthyism, which was prevailing in America. He had initially intended to locate what he felt to be the perfect French village or small town, then photograph it in depth, and proceeded to travel and photograph throughout France. However, he didn't manage to settle on any one community, so instead, Strand collaborated with the writer Claude Roy to make a composite portrait of France and the French people using the photographs he made in the hundreds of locations he had visited. La France de Profil follows themes consistent throughout Strand's career: the dignity of ordinary people, their relationship with nature, the necessity of work and labour, and ultimately, their mortality. In a later essay, Roy wrote, 'Strand did not try to rediscover or renew France's image through the artful tricks and inventions of his craft. He simply tried to penetrate it by descending into the country's taciturn depths with the unhurried docility of a pebble making its inevitable way to the bottom of a well.'.

About the Author: Born in New York in 1890, Paul Strand received his first camera on his twelfth birthday.

Throughout his life, he remained devoted to photography, becoming one of the medium's most influential figures and a founding father of "Straight" photography.
