Joel Meyerowitz

Meyerowitz's photography is sublime in its capacity to produce the "unmistakably articulate" image. Ranging from New York City `street photography' to Cape Cod portraits spanning 1962 through2001, Meyerowitz photographs - those presented here - are alive with a visual smartness, an acute sense of the moments in the world in which a photographer, a photograph, is allowed intervention: a break in the plane of what we expect fromall of our seeing: moments too poignant for words. In a word, the photograph. Illus., color/b&w photographs. 128p.
