Strand is simply the biggest, widest most commanding talent in the history of American photography.
– Susan Sontag, New York Review of Books<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. About 50 years ago, I saw a few of the works of Paul Strand. His 1917 photograph of a blind woman<\/a> shows up in many places. The photograph by Strand of people scurrying along Wall Street past the J P Morgan building two years earlier \u00a0(titled Wall Street<\/a> is even more compelling (to me).<\/p>\n

But while many books show Strand’s work, there are few details of the man himself. In issue 16-1, editor Ev Roseborough adds two thought provoking articles, First is titled. “Strand – Under the Dark Cloth<\/em>“. \u00a0It offers excerpts from a review of John Walker’s film of the same name. \u00a0The film premiered at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto in early 1990. The second of Ev’s articles, “Paul Strand, 1890-1976”, gives a thumb-nail history of the iconic photographer.<\/p>\n

Note: The title of this post is a riff on a line in \u00a0the Simon and Garfunkel song, “A Simple Desultory Philippic”, a satire of Bob Dylan sung here by S&G<\/a>. The song appeared on the LP Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme (which I have).<\/p>\n
