Halsman Portraits by McGraw-Hill (1983-01-01).
Very good condition, but does show moderate wear and aging.
"Portraits presents for the first time a comprehensive gathering of the work of one of the towering giants in portrait photography - Philippe Halsman. Many of his images have already been etched into contemporary consciousness. Halsman portraits of such quintessential twentieth-century luminaries as Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, and John Steinbeck are so familiar and compelling they flash onto our minds eye whenever we think of these personalities. The most overexposed faces of our time appear fresh and powerful again as Halsman probes deep beneath the surface of the mask to reveal the essence of character. Here are a serious Groucho, looking over his shoulder, smouldering shops wit threatening to erupt; a lean and hard Sinatra; vintage Brando machismo; a young Bardo bursting from her skin; Picasso embracing Chagall; early but ripe Sophia Loren; a ravishing Elizabeth Taylor; a serious Woody Allen; Matisse in bed with arthritis but still drawing; Ellington staring pensively ahead; Marilyn Monroe jumping in the air with gleeful girlish abandon. Each portrait miraculously captures another fragment of truth. Again and again Halsman succeeds in recording on a flat sheet of paper the complex magic of a human soul."
