Presents "John Cohen: The Shape of Survival". The photographer's "Peruvian Pilgrimage" photographs, taken between 1956 and 1957. For Cohen, they are living testaments, almost fifty years later, of the Peruvian people's resilience and grit amid the harsh terrain of the Peruvian landscape. Aside from being one of the most remarkable American photographers of our time, John Cohen is also a teacher, a world-class scholar of primitive art, and a Renaissance Man who has composed music and made films. Lest that make him sound overly cerebral, the exact opposite is true: His photographs are rife with life and natural beauty. Cohen's photographic oeuvre was finally collected in a book, "There Is No Eye" (2001) . This is, in effect, its companion volume, and the only body of work comparable to it is Robert Frank's. An absolute "must-have" title for John Cohen collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 27 duotone plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN COHEN TITLE IN OUR CATALOG).

Entrancing and often humorous, Patti Smith carries her head high through it all, just as she carries the reader through her story.
