Presents Alec Soth's "Songbook". Black-and-white images from a Master Colorist. "Known for his haunting portraits of solitary Americans in 'Sleeping by The Mississippi' and 'Broken Manual' Alec Soth has recently turned his lens toward community life in the country. To aid in his search Soth assumed the increasingly obsolescent role of community newspaper reporter. From 2012-2014 Soth traveled state by state while working on his self-published newspaper The LBM Dispatch as well as on assignment for the New York Times. From upstate New York to Silicon Valley Soth attended hundreds of meetings dances festivals and communal gatherings in search of human interaction in an era of virtual social networks. With 'Songbook' Soth has stripped these pictures of their news context in order to highlight the longing for connection at their root. Fragmentary funny and sad 'Songbook' is a lyrical depiction of the tension between American individualism and the desire to be united" Publisher's blurb . Soth's Songbook alternates seamlessly between solo "individualism" and group "unity" thematic portraits. It ends with a melancholy coda a suite of eight photographs of solitary figures in the landscape just as some of the most heartbreakingly beautiful songs do. When it comes to putting together a book that holds together perfectly not a single false note Alec Soth has few peers. Still his work is not just a formalist exercise. It is acutely beautiful because Soth handles otherwise heavy socio-philosophical themes with a light touch that is to say as an artist rather than a philosopher . An absolute "must-have" title for Alec Soth collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Alec Soth. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online are subsequent printings. A rare signed copy thus. 73 black-and-white plates. Alec Soth's "Sleeping By The Mississippi" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy.
