Quarto: black cloth in dust jacket; 176 pages First Edition, first printing. W. Eugene Smith?s exhaustive photo essay of ?Pittsburgh,? undertaken for Magnum from 1955-1957 shortly after he left LIFE magazine following a dispute with editors, eventually captured about 17,000 photographs. Smith documented a vibrant industrial metropolis, its steel mills, its people, its scenery?the most comprehensive visual chronicle ever made of an American city in motion and would be the most ambitious photographic essay of his life.

He took his first photographs at the age of 15 for two local newspapers. In 1936, Smith entered Notre Dame University in Wichita, where a special photographic scholarship was created for him. A year later, he left the university and went to New York City. After studying with Helene Sanders at the New York Institute of Photography, in 1937, he began working for News-Week (later Newsweek). He was fired for refusing to use medium-format cameras and joined the Black Star agency as a freelancer??Smith worked as a war correspondent for Flying magazine (1943-44), and a year later for Life. He followed the island-hopping American offensive against Japan, and suffered severe injuries while simulating battle conditions for Parade, which required him to undergo surgery for the next two years??Once recuperated, Smith worked for Life again between 1947 and 1955, before resigning in order to join Magnum Photos as an associate. In 1957, he became a full member of Magnum. Smith was fanatically dedicated to his mission as a photographer. Because of this dedication, he was often regarded by editors as "troublesome."?.A year after moving to Tucson to teach at the University of Arizona, Smith died of a stroke. His archives are held by the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona. Today, Smith's legacy lives on through the W. Eugene Smith Fund to promote "humanistic photography," founded in 1980, which awards photographers for exceptional accomplishments in the field.

First edition, first printing A one of a kind. Here are the photographs and tapes of the photographer from his residence. Already historical and legendary for its large night haunt of musicians albeit Charles Mingus or Thelonious Monk among them along with a variety of outsider and underground figures. Smith exposed almost 1500 rolls of film at his loft, making 40,000 pictures, the largest body of work in his career. He surreptitiously wired the building where he lived making a recording studio of 1700 reels of stereo and mono amounting to 4000 hours capturing 300 musicians at their leisure and their music. A work of love which details this ongoing historical event. With W. Eugene Smith's black and white and color photographs throughout. Profusely illustrated with strong text. Has become quite scarce. Fine and bright and handsome in pictorial dust jacket with crisp bright text.
