From acclaimed photographer and famed lover of dogs Elliott Erwitt comes "Woof," the most unintentionally persuasive advertisement for dog ownership there ever was. |
About the AuthorElliott Erwitt joined the iconic Magnum Photos agency in 1953, and his images have been featured around the world for over forty years. Rachael Hale McKenna is one of the world's most popular animal photographers Catherine Ledner's work is highly sought after and has appeared in numerous publications including the New York Times Magazine. Gandee Vasan is an award-winning photographer whose images have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London. ReviewsMany of these pictures will make you smile, and some will make you laugh, but this is more than just a collection of cute doggie pix. They are portraits in the full sense of the word: whether posed or impromptu, each image reveals something true about a particular dog or about dogs in general. Erwitt, a veteran photographer and member of Magnum, offers simple truths: "Living with a dog is messy"; "A dog teaches a boy fidelity." His pooches, in all shapes and sizes, are pensive and playful, reflective and active; they zestfully leap into a lake or lie belly up in a grassy field, enjoying a lovely day. Unlike William Wegman's dog photos, Erwitt's don't rely on props or costumes, though two supercool Dalmatians in goggles do make an arresting pair. Even if you're not a dedicated dog lover, this book will charm you. Woof! -Publishers Weekly, starred review
