Beautiful, new softcover edition of classic, out-of-print Roy DeCarava photo book from the archives of The DeCarava Estate. Stored in temperature-controlled setting, these editions are in excellent condition and make a wonderful gift for the photography buff in your life.

Out-of-print for over 20 years, this original soft cover exhibition catalogue features 200 superb plates spanning half a century. First published to accompany the ground-breaking exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (1996), Roy DeCarava: A Retrospective makes the full range of the artist's work available. Its exceptional reproductions convey the subtleties of DeCarava's famously rich prints. A master of photography, DeCarava is known for his brilliant images of New York, his interior life, and of jazz musicians such as Billie Holliday and John Coltrane. 

Includes an essay from Sherry Turner DeCarava—art historian, curator, and the author of several essays on DeCarava’s work—which offers new insight into his artistic development by reaching back to his earliest artistic efforts before he turned to photography.

Vintage, new and unopened, in original publisher shrinkwrap.
