Description: - Roadworks: Photographs and Words - Linda McCartney - 1996 Stated 1st Edition - Bullfinch Press - Vintage NOS - LIKE NEW CONDITION! 10.25 x 1 x 12.5 inches, B&W / Full Color Illustrations / Images, Pictorial Dust Jacket, Case Bound Hardcover, Bullfinch Press Stated 1st Edition 1996, Like New Condition! Offers a collection of one hundred and sixty photographs capturing life on the road from the late sixties to the early eighties, from cheering audiences to garish billboards to fleeting landscapes. Linda McCartney's unassuming eye seems to capture the everyday in a not-so-everyday fashion. Having forged a fine career as a fashion and features photographer before becoming a part of rock 'n' roll history, her sense for stilled urgency comes across in these "personal road movie recording[s]," as she calls the images in this collection. Some photos bring the work of Robert Frank to mind--the quick blurred scene of two girls walking through an urban landscape, for example, and a "hungry" vagabond on a stretch of highway: these come across almost as homages to Frank--and not bad ones, at that. Though this whole book at times seems rather a hodgepodge, the narrative quality of each image holds its own. In both color and black-and-white, McCartney's images, which here span the globe and at least two decades, deserve the attention and study of today's younger generation of photographers. Of course, this book full of them will surely be popular on account of name recognition alone. Raul Nino Condition is "Like New". Unread / Lightly Handled. Ships USPS Media Mail.
